CALL NUMBER:CD 1 - Berryman (C.K.), no. 212 (A size) <P&P>[P&P] REPRODUCTION NUMBER:_ _ _ _ _ SUMMARY:World War II cartoon shows Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes and Frederic Delano, chairman of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, standing in a park looking at a sign reading, "Bulletin. New York Mother Arrested for Permitting Child to Dig Three Inch Hole in Park." Delano says, "Don''t you think that''s a little severe, Harold?" Ickes responds, "Some people never know when they''re well off." Behind them can be seen workmen busily digging up the area (labeled "D.C. Parks") with new buildings under construction. Ickes was well known for his passionate efforts to promote and preserve the national park system. In Washington, however, due to the huge influx of people involved in war activities, temporary buildings were built on every available bit of land including the Mall, around the Reflecting Pool, and on the grounds of the Washington Monument.
