Superintendent R. Taylor Hoskins of Shenandoah National Park stated today that many inquiries are being received relative to the annual fall color display . along . the 105rmile Skyline Drive. Many of those contacting Park Head* quarters are seeking information as to .when the peak period of the color may be expected; however, experience has, shown that' this is difficult to predict Inasmuch as it depends to a large extent on elevation and weather conditions, Hoskins said. He pointed out further that the beauty in the display is often a matter of personal preference.

Until this past week-end, conditions indicated that thegreatest brilliance might be* reached between October 10 and 20, with a possibility that it could be as early as the week-end of October 12-13.
