Minnesota, not only for financial
gain but through desire to do a
great service to mankind, should wide

so that the country would look to it as
its summer playground, he declared.
Following the dinner he praised the
work of the Ten Thousand Lakes of
Minnesota Association, declaring that
it was saving the lives of thousands
of people by encouraging them to

Winter Sports Advocated
Minnesota will within a few years
be widely known as winter as well
as a summer resort region, according
to the Ten Thousand Lakes of Mime
sofa Association. In declaring that
winter outings are beginning to be-
come very popular, H. C. Hotaling,
secretary, pointed to an article by
DR.. w. A. Evans which appeared re-
Gently. In the article DR.. Evans
says:
"a large Boston department store
announced that hereafter all employ
ees who had been with the company
ten years or more would have an an.
nual winter vacation Of two weeks in
addition to a summer vacation OF
the same length. Employees who had
been with the company over five
years and less than ten years would
have winter vacation of one week.
cit would be great thing fol-
America if there were long list OF
resorts stretched from the Atlantic to
the Pacific where, during the winter
months, our young women ano
young men might go every
year for winter sports skiing, snow
shoeing, skating and the playing Of
other games on the snow and ice in
the open air which would bring roses
to the cheeks, fire to the eyes, anC
children to the firesides.
Healthy people prefer the winter
to the summer vacation. The health
of the people in the summer time is
about as good as it can be made. Or
the other hand, the health of the PEG.
pie in the winter time is far from be.
ing as good as it can be made. In
fact, it is no better than it was g
generation ago.
zone cause of the trouble is the
fact that in the cold weather the PEG.
pie are too closely housed. If we
could get the people to take winter
vacation and then to spend it in out
of doors winter sports we feel certain
improvements would be on the way. .
