Maine Indian
Baskets to Be on
Exhibit in Sweden

Some of the finest baskets made IN
the world are those made by the
Penobscot Tribe of Indians at OLD
Town. They are made under the di-
rection Of Mrs. Emma Ranko, the
daughter Of Chief Nicolar who dieo
some time ago. That they have at
tracted world wide fame is indicated
nv a. request received a short while
ago by Henry e. Dunnack. librarian
of the Maine state Library at the
state House, for a collection to be
sent to the Royal Museum at Stock
holm, Sweden.
The request came through DR..
Richard Hogner of Boston, who IS
making the donation. The baskets
have lust been received and are re-
ing prepared for shipment by Mrs.
Marion Fuller of the Library execu-
tive staff.
They are made from ash. sweet
grass and birch bark. They ere
skilfully done in colors and are OF
various shapes from the acorn bas-
ket to the fiat oblong ones. They
represent the last word in such ham
diwork and are the finest collection
yet seen.
The Stockholm museum is also be-
ing sent a collection of snowshoes
and special made moccasins, the
work of the Indians.
Strange to relate the State OF
Maine has no such collection and II
remains for far away Sweden to show
us the way in this instance. Of APP
preciation of the handiwork of our
earliest settlers.
Which simply goes to show that in
this case. as in many others, dis
lance lends enchantment and what
we have underneath our eyes often
goes unnoticed until someone thou
| sands of miles away discovers Its
real value,
