carry out these suggestions without

Strong Wolf and Red Fox, full blood
ed Indian Chiefs. Chief Strong Wolf
gave a short talk in which he said: Il
see the children are the invited guests
of the meeting. l imagine many OF
the boys are Boy Scouts. l too am a
Boy Scout. AS I look at these chill
dren l wonder if the Board of Trade
is thinking of the future progress OF
the children. | am glad to be back in
Wildwood. Since 1 was here last Sep
TENDER | have always had a warm
spot in my heart for Wildwood. l
believe that the greatest friends l
have made in my eight years travel
are those made in Wildwood. Some
day I may come to make my perma-
rent home here, and if l do l hope
that Wildwood will be on the map
from here to California. 1 know that
I am doing all I can to place it on the
map. Every platform l have been on
since I was here last September l
have mentioned wildwood in my talk"
(Here Chief Strong Wolf was given
an ovation by the crowd.) 81 see
Wildwood has adopted a slogan:
Wildwood welcomes the World l
heard of that slogan in Kane Lodge OF
Masons in New York City. l heard a
stranger mention it when l didn't sup
pose there was anyone in the room
that knew of or had ever been to Wild
wood. l understand that there is a
Scout Leader to speak to you tonight.
| am sorry I cannot stay to hear him,
but l hope that he will mention that
the service we owe to the young peo-
pIe is to teach them the love of their
home town. We need interest in our
own clan. The percentage of true
Americans in our cities is getting
smaller and smaller each year because
of the lack of interest in our W kind
and own clan" Here Chief Strong
Wolf went into a somewhat lengthy
discourse on how the foreign element
is driving out the Americans slowly
but surely. 81 am glad to see this
interest in our W kind in Wildwood.
| hope the new slogan will reach Cali
fornia and that when I again return
to Wildwood it will be to find an even
larger city that at present"
