Exposure to light over many years has faded the colors of many valuable mounted animal specimens in the Museum of Natural History, rendering them unfit for further exhibition. Skillful use of hair dyes and colors is ac- curately restoring them to their former beauty. The exhibit technician here uses an unfaded study skin as a guide in restoring stripes on the head of a zebra destined for the nearly completed World of Mammals hall. hour parking restrictions end and, as traffic on the drives is not hea\\y outside of rush hours, even strangers will find it relatively easy to orient themselves and safely locate parking spaces. The building cl6ses before the evening rush traffic begins. As much parking as possible will be provided in screened and concealed areas on the south side of the site below the Madison Drive grade level. SUMMARY Detailed planning for the building and its specialized exhibits has been com- pleted and final working drawings and specifications are expected to be completed by March 30. The plans indicate that the new structure will provide a museum building that will for the first time allow the unique collections of the Smithsonian to be seen in an adequate way now and in the future by countless millions of Americans. 524592—59-.
