ically stated that ''the washed" belong
to the elect, and 'the unwashed" to
the common herd.
"On another page of this issue
the statement is made that the slot
of the submerged tenth" is insup-
portable largely on account of the
inadequacy of general sanitary pro-
vision in rooming houses; and again,
in the discussion of the means of
making dusty trades safe for the
workers, comment is made that the
chief advantage of exhaust systems
over wet grinding is that it is cleaner
and more comfortable to the work
err, and less likely to produce discon-
tent among Them" No single meas
ure is more important for the COM
fort and self-respect of miners than
provisions for cleaning up" after
their work, and in many industries
the showers constitute most impor-
tant part of the equipment.
"AII of this has to do, however,
with the hygiene of personal habits,
of cleanliness rather than bathing
as a factor in industrial hygiene.
Some of the older psychologists held
that, the preference for cleanliness
being universal, it could be assumed

without arguing for an instinct

to observe that too often health

Ely has the opportunity of be-
coming tourist town. 1t remains for
the citizens of the community and
surrounding communities to decide if
that will come to pass or not. IL
is question which must in measure
be up to the people of the city itself.
For with the greatest canoe country
in the world beginning at her door
way and elements in that country
which will with proper planning and
proper support become world fam
Gus recreation ground it remains for
every one in the town to get behind a
constructive program of big develop
ment to make this all reality. The
presence of the Forest cannot do it,
the boosting of few farsighted men
cannot turn thestrick but the united
support of the community as whole
will put it over.
Ely will always be tourist COM
munity in one sense. 1t cannot keep
out the people who will come here to
outfit for conoe trips. But there is
very decided question whether or
not this business is going to be hap
hazard side line or well organized
community business. That is up
to the people of the town itself.
There is no question in my mind that
the people of the city will make it a
real business rather than slip-shod
side line but this simply presents the
case and shows that there are two al
ternatives-on leading to a good,
well handled business and service,
the other to half-hearted waste Of
energy and thought.
The Forest Service at the present
time is taking stock of the resources
within the Superior National Forest
and plan will be drawn up to make
the most of these resources. The
plan will not be thing to be filed
away and forgotten but a scheme
which will live and function as well
planned machine. The materials for
a great National playground are as
suredly present. There is material
to make as famous play place as
Atlantic City, Yosemite or Estes Park
but of different nature. These
remain to be planned and after the
plan is made then there must be the
will to do to make those plans living
things.
This making of the plans reality
will not fall on Ely alone. It is
question of the whole northern part
of the state if not the whole state.

Malays. as well as connection of the
American Indian and Eskimo. He also

ELY'S OPPORTUNITY
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
BY ARTHUR H. cARHART, Recreation Engine.
U. s. Forest Service.

In fact it will mean great feature
for Minneapolis and st. Paul to have
a national playground in the state
which will stand on a par so far as
reputation is concerned with all of
the greater play areas of the Nation
Duluth will be even more benefited
and any town or city within a radius
of 100 miles of the Superior Nat
ional Forest will get no small benefit
from it's recreational DEVELOPMENT.
But it remains for Ely to take the
initiative for il Ely does not no one
else will. 1t is up to Ely to make of
this if she is going to do anything
at all and simply not recognize rebuff
or defeat. 1t is up to Ely to insist
that the Minnesota members of Con-
gress recognize the great recreation
resource found in the Superior For
est and ask for Federal funds for
the development of that resource ex-
actly as they now provide for fire
fighting and other regular forest act
ivities. And it is up to the people
of this section. of the state to recog-
nize that the opening Of the canoe
routes of the Superior Forest region
is as important in it's way as the
building of highways of high grade
and of great cost to the edge of the
Forest and then allowing the canoe
country to remain impossible and
recognizing this, secure state and
county funds to make the portages
safe and passable. A fraction Of the
money spent on mile of good roads
will make many miles of canoe routes
passable and this one fact makes the
whole plan of recreation in the Sup
erior feasible at. minimum of ex-
penditure.
When Ely gets the spirit to Do and
will not take any opposition whatever
as final then other communities can
be counted on to do their share.
But it must be first that Ely win
take hold of this whole question of
the tourist business and determinedly
take the initiative and keep the
initiative in way that will show
the world that Ely believes in Ely
as tourist center and in the future
of the whole community and state
in which Ely is situated.
