TWO NEW NATIONAL PARKS URGED E OR MIDWI 
APOSTLE ISLANDS NATIONAL LAKESHORE: Sen. Gaylord Ne 
(D., Wis.) has introduced legislation into Congress urging establishmer 
a new lakeshore on Lake Superior. The bill has been heard before 
Senate Subcommittee on Parks and Recreation. Hearings on the bill 1 
begun over three years ago. For various reasons, the National Park Ser 
has been dragging its feet on the subject. In addition, the bill has met ° 
Gpposition from Sen. Everett Dirksen of Illinois. In 1968, the bill pa 
the Senate but was not approved by the House of Representatives. 
The park would set aside over 91,000 acres of land, protect the sh 
line from subdividers, and provide a refuge for wildlife. It is a haunt of 
moose, the hawk and the raccoon. The waters around the Apostle Isl 
once teemed with lake trout, but the old fishing boats now lie abando 
as the lake trout have declined in numbers. Senator Nelson has wai 
that further delay in establishment of the new lakeshore will only ¢ 
developers to create still another blighted area, with their dreary 
and commonplace cabins and the public will be further denied acces 
the lake. 
SLEEPING BEAR DUNES: For thousands of years the glaciers wo! 
away at these Michigan dunes, turning and twisting the land to form 
basic shape we find today. Ten years ago, conservationists began the e 
to save this area near Little Traverse Lake and Platte Lake. Sen. P] 
Hart (D., Mich.) has introduced legislation to establish the Sleeping } 
Dunes. It has not won much attention from those outside the state of M 
gan because of the great press of other conservation problems. (Som 
Illinois and Indiana were working overtime to save the remnant of Ind 
Dunes from the steel mills of Gary.) Over 64 miles of natural shoreline 
61,000 acres would be set aside under Sen. Hart’s bill. The North and S 
Manitou Islands lie offshore of the proposed park. Population is mo 
in and the area is being rent asunder by subdividers. Our nation has ¢ 
very little to preserve public access to lake and ocean shorelines. Sen. H 
bill would help correct this gross neglect by a nation which should k 
better.
