Shenandoah National Park Superintendent R. Taylor Hoskins is gratified with the response to an appeal, issued during the Christmas holidays for interesting objects for the Visitor Center to be constructed at Big Meadows. The contract for construction of the building will probably be let sometime this spring. The initial appeal turned up a good many items of interest that.no one at the Park even knew^iSxisted. A wooden sausage grinder-from L. W. Jordan and son of Front Royal, Va., was among them. Also donated were surveying and mapping instruments that belonged to Benjamin Franklin Grayson, a great uncle of Page News and Courier Editor, E. W. Lauck, of Luray, Va.; a bugle and riding crop, used for many years at Skyland by its founder, George Freeman Pollock, and donated by J. Reginald Boyd of Silver Spring, Md. Frank H. Kiblinger of Stanley Va., donated numerous implements used around old-time kitchens and homesteads-an Enterprizer cherry stoner is an exact duplicate of one on display in the new History and Technology Museum in Washington, D. C. Two large looms and several spinning wheels have also been collected. Paul Broyles of Luray has been helpful in securing many other utensils. Although many interesting items have been located, Park Naturalist E. Ray Schaffner is still looking for others. He would like to find a Fairfax survey marker stone, a wall-type coffee grinder, an Alexander Spotswood Golden Horseshoe, and many objects showing the arts and crafts of the early settlers in the Park and vicinity.
