Preserving the Countryside Of Old England
INTEREST OF PRINCE OF WALES IN MOVEMENT.
(British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, March 1
Within 45 minutes of his return to London the Prince of "Wales was attending the anniversary dinner of the National Trust for places of historic interest or natural beauty. He paid a warm tribute to the valuo of this organisation which, he pointed out, was purely a private body registered as a charity and without any Government grant, which, however, worked harmoniously with the Office of Works. He said tho National Trust was everyone's concern, since it was doing so much to preserve those features of British life which were of such great value to those who lived in the great cities and, indeed, to all who loved tho English countryside. Although tho trust had acquired 17 new properties last year, modern conditions made it essential that a great deal more open spaces should be protected and acquired for the nation.
