Park Board Will Ask 8 Million Fund is First Step In $20 Million Program By Edwin Ruft ino by NEA TALLAHASSEE (ff) State Board of Parks and Historical Monuments wants a $3,527,000 legislative appropriation for the 'tiext two years to start it off on long-range $20,000 park development program. The request is nearly six times more than the $595.000 appropriation for the current biennium. It up its budget request yesterday and hired J. Kenneth Ballinger, Tallahassee lawyer and former news reporter, as associate director to help sell its program. It also re-elected John Pennekamp of Miami as chairman, Mrs.

Harold Butts of Ormond Beach Vice Chairman and M. Brooks Hayes of Blountstown as Secretary. Pennekamp announced the Board had prepared a program calling for Legislative appropriations totaling $100,000 in annual installments for five or ten years to help expand aand improve the 35 parks--many of them now useless to the public because they are in the wild state. To supplement the general tax money, The board would borrow 510,000,000 on revenue recertifi- cates issued by the improvement commission and repaid out of earnings of park facilities and attractions. The $3,527,000 budget request for the 1951-53 Biennium sets up $1,366,000 for park operations and $2,161,000 for improvements.

There was something open and honest about him; something promising, in spite of his incredible naivete. He and Jenn were right for each other. But Jenn, the 19-year-old idiot, might not see this, until it was too late. "Look, Tommy," she said, on impulse.

"Would it help any if I rode around with you?" "Gee, would you?" he said eagerly. "I'd--I'd certainly like to talk to somebody." "I'll get a wrap," Ede said. Tommy Melbourne drove like Te rtUvw distress rob comforting. UD DAVI AV. St.

"Good Heavens, Tommy," she said suddenly, interrupting him in a description of the intricate off- tackle play that had ruined Harvard the previous season. "Bo you' realize that we're nearly to Montauk?" He turned to her and grinned. Why not go all the way?" "Why not?" said Ede.

"She wflLL" Ede pressed his hand. "In the meantime, I'm on your ride. If that'll do any good." He gave her a grateful look. "It helps," he said, and drove away. Ede went upstairs on tiptoe, but it didn't work.

There -was a light under Jennifer's door and, as she passed it, the door opened. Jenn came out, attired in Chinese pajamas. "Where on earth have you been, Ede Frey?" she demanded. "It's 4 in the morning." "Out," Ede said. "For that matter, why aren't you in bed?" "I only got in myself half an ago," Jenn confessed.

Ede sat back in her seat and secretly ashamed of the way her feet pressed hard against the floorboards. But she wasn't very frightened. Tommy Melbourne's shoulders were broad and powerful and his big hands, gripping the wheel, gave her a feeling of confidence. On the way to no fixed destination he told her about himself.

Ede took her sister by the shoulders, wheeled her around and pushed her out of the door. She turned the key the lock. One of Jenn's soft mules thudded angrily against the outside of the door.

Then Ede heard her going to her room. Ede smiled and opened the letter from Peter. The next instant it dropped from her fingers. Peter Flood was asking for a divorce.
