RELIEF BENEFITS

Educational Work Is NeCeS-

gram, Alderman Says.

Educational benefits from the Gov
ernments emergency relief program
were secondary and virtually lucky

rated primarily TO put teachers TO
work and not to improve the training
of children. according to Lewis r
Alderman. director of the educational
division of the Federal Emergency Re-
lief Administration Alderman made
the statement in addressing the De-
partment of Adult Education of the
National Education Association in the
ball room of the Mayf1ower Hotel.
He was followed on the program
by IgnuS o. HornStein, assistant dl-
rector of evening schools in New York,
who told what that city is doing in
education of adults for leisure.
Both addresses we're followed by
round-table discussions. Participating

dress were Maude E. Alton. Washing

Katherine M Kohler. Minneapolis
Caroline A. Whipple. secretary of the
Department of Adult Education, led
the discussion of Hornstein'S address.
Education Program
Since the Government emerg-
ency program is relief program,
Alderman said, "and only indirectly
an educational program, it is evident
that some types of work much needed
from an educational point OF view
cannot be accomplished
In the main. the objective has been
to do those things that needed doing
and which were not being done in any
adequate way by the regular public
school system.
THE program covered the follow
ing fields: Illiteracy, vocational educa-
ton, vocational rehabilitation, general
adult education and nursery.
Aid to the regular schools was in
a sense not a relief program SO far
as the individual teacher was con-
cerned, but was relief program so
far as the school system was con-
cerned. On February 2, a program
was launched to prevent schools in
districts of less than 5000 from clos
ing. In this work 100000 teachers
were employed and 100000 pupils
served.
In the five-point program. about
10000 teachers were employed, ana

Sig Olson, Science teacher in the Ely
Junior College, has an article in the
current issue of the Minnesota Wal
tonian on the subject of road building
into the wilderness country which is
well worth reading. In the article Mr.
Olson reasons the subject and gives his
ideas on roads or planes in the Su-
perior National Forest, both from the
standpoint of recreation and freight
ing necessity.
Mr. Olson is writer, better than the
average, on outdoor subjects and his
stories are worth reading. He writes
regularly for Field and Stream and has
an Illustrated story entitled Cruising
in the Arrowhead" in the May issue of
outdoors" The story in the Mime
sofa Waltonian reads:
"Since the early 1920s, the Superior
National Forest together with the rest
of the country, has been undergoing an
era of road building. ConServationist
organizations, such as the Izaak WAL
ton League and others interested in
preserving remnant of the old Su-
perior as wilderness area, have fought
constantly the steady encroachment of
trails, but in every case it has been
losing battle. In spite of the ever
growing appreciation by the populations
of the middle west of the value of the
Superior as a primitive type of recre-
ational area, roads have been planned
and built and at the present time even
more extensive development projects are
being considered.
Until 1924, there were no roads of any
kind in the Superior proper and all
travel was by the time honored method
of pack and canoe. 1t was then prac-
tically all wilderness, accessible only by
the water trails. Since then, however,
the Gunflint Trail has been constructed
from Grand Marais to Saganaga, OPEN
ing the eastern half of the forest, the

only does not prevent or control fires,
but also detracts immeasureably from
the esthetic value of the country, should
make us pause and take stock of our
present policy.
If the present rate of road building
and improvement goes on, it is safe to
predict that in ten years, there will be
no part of the Superior which cannot
be reached by automobile and though
the country will be filled with resorts
and private homes, it's present charm
will be gone, for it will no longer be
wilderness, merely another of many
vacation lands. Now it is different and
has an individuality all its own. Open
it up with a road to every lake and
building site and it will be just like
all the rest of the country.
During the past ten years, the popu-
lations of the middle west have looked
increasingly to the Superior for their
recreation, for in addition to being
unique in its character Of primitiveness,
it is also more centrally located and ac-
cessible than any other vacation area in
North America. Without doubt, in a
short time, the recreational possibilities
of the region will far outbalance any
other resource. According to Ernest
Oberholtzer, head of the Quetico Su-
perior Council, mo other lakeland of
America, however lovely, has such
riches, both in associations and natural
endowmentS as the Superior National
Forest. When we consider the fact,
that the tourist industry of the state
runs close to $75,OOO,OOO annually and
that no small part of this revenue
comes from the forests of the north, we
begin to realize that here is resource
that cannot be regarded lightly" In
view of that alone, we should think
twice before continuing with a policy
for the Superior which ultimately will
be of detriment, not only to the forest,
but to the people of the entire middle
west. And the constant building of
roads comes under this category. The
I. w. L. A. can be of inestimable service
if it gets solidly behind this movement
to block for all time further proposed
road extensions, built under the false
guise of fire protection. Unless public
opinion is aroused to the point where it
will demand change of policy, the
steady encroachment of trails will go on,
and now under the new appropriations,
more and more rapidly, until the old
Superior which we have come to know
and love, will be gone forever.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1934-05-04

100000 acres of lake and forest
country entirely by plane. and inasmuch
as the Superior is an identical area from
Typographical standpoint, there is no
reason why this highly efficient means
Of protection could not be used adj
vantageously here. In country with
as many possible landing places as the
many lakes here afford, it is possible
in practically all cases to approach
closely enough to a fire with plane
carrying men and pumps, to control it
very quickly and easily. I have many
times seen Canadian plane spot a
fire and within a few minutes drop
within few hundred yards Of it, in a
number of cases closely enough to reach
with single length of hose. Usually,
the plane is on the job before the fire
has gotten under way and putting it
out then is an entirely different matter
from what it might be several hours
or days later.
It is true that there are few isolated
areas in which lakes and possible land
ing places are not numerous enough to
permit of this type of control, places
in which roads would be the only eff
Gent means of entry for men and
equipment, but there are many other
areas, particularly those which make up
the very choicest of canoe areas in
the Superior, where the only logical
means of fire control is by use of planes.
Contrast the speed of the two systems.
On the American side fire is spotted
by lookouts and word telephoned in to
headquarters. Trucks and crew of
men must be rounded up, tents, canoes,
equipment and food supplies, must be
gotten ready and trucked to the nearest
point to the fire in question. Then
comes the unloading and the slow work
of padding and portaging to the scene
of the blaze When it is finally reached
after many hours of delay and perhaps
several days, the fire has usually spread
to broad front, necesSitating weeks of
work and the loss of thousands of acres
of timber. A plane could have been
there in a fraction of the time that it
took to even get started. Compare the
enormous fire damage of last year in
the Superior and its environs with the
low fire record of the Quetico for 1888
and it is not hard to be convinced of
the superiority of their type OF control.
With the splendid eample of plane eff
cheney continually before us, it seems
little short of ridiculous to still adhere
to old time cumbersome methods still in
use in our forest.
1t is true that at times private planes

ROADS Or PLANES IN THE SUPERIOR
by Sig. OIson)

Echo Trail from Ely to Buyck, opening
up the western half of the forest, the
Fernberg trail to the KawiShiwi River
and innumerable, lateral branch roads,
many of them private, to adjacent lake
shore properties.
Past experience has proven that all
roads designated by the Forest Service
as truck and wagon roads, in spite of
the fact that they were originally in
tended for fire protection purposes only,
eventually in the course of time, become
well graded public highways receiving
annual maintenance not only from the
Federal Government, but in some cases
from the counties they traverse. When
the l. w. L. A. protested the building
of the Fernberg Road to the Kawishiwi
River and also the building of the 81
miles of the Echo Trail, they were told
that these projects would merely be for
the purpose of fire protection and that
the trails in question would never be-
come suitable public highways. The
League accepted this Interpretation in
good faith, trusting implicitly that the
Forest Service would stand by this
agreement and keep the fire protection
trails always within that category. The
hst few years, however, have shown us
that these so-called fire protection roads
have slowly graduated from the lowly
status to well graded, and smoothly
surfaced highways over which auto
comfort. Some of these former fire
fighting trails are swiftly becoming first
class highways and at the present rate
of improvement and development, will
within short time approach the CLASH
fication of arterials. Such is the in
evitable evolution of a fire protection
trail in the Superior. What is more, as
soon as these trails have assumed the
character of fairly well travelled roads,
private individuals invariably construct,
oftentimes with the aid of the counties,
lateral branches into private holdings
Of lake shore property or timber. When
this begins to happen, the county i'm
mediately adjacent to any main trail
becomes a network and the former
wilderness is thing of the past.
Granted that there is a certain use
for roads for fire protection, still when
we consider the enormous annual toll
of fires which they inevitably bring in
their wake, we begin to wonder if after
all they are accomplishing their purpose.
If the roads in question could be kept
as purely fire protection trails, utilized
only by the Forest Service for the
transportation of men and equipment
during an emergency, they might be
justified, but the instant they begin to
vary from their original primary pur-
pose, the ultimate fire hazard more than
counterbalances any good that might
ensue from their construction.
Our neighbor to the north, the Quetico
Provincial Park of Ontario, policies its

have been pressed into service on bad
fires in the Superior for patrol work
and for freighting in Of supplies and
equipment, but this use has never been
resorted to until fires have gotten be-
yond control. The very fact that they
have been made use of in great emer-
gencies is proof that their efficiency
is recognized by the Forest Service
officials. However, If planes were con-
tinually on hand to cooperate with the
lookouts and to locate definitely small
blazes which are continually springing
up, half the battle would be won. The
other half would he won when we have
reached state of efficiency where a
plane could be shot into fire within
the hour of its discovery, before it had
a chance to get under way. Anyone
knows that the secret of fire control
is to spot smoke early and kill it
before it has chance to spread A
small fire can be easily put out by a
couple of men with hose and pump
or even with axes and grubhoes, but
let it cover half mile front in a wind
and nothing short of miracle and
hundreds of men can stop it.
There is no question but that the
efficiency of air plane control of fire
has been well demonstrated on both
sides of the border and that the Forest
Service is cognizant of it. However,
the fact remains that only in great
emergencies has the plane been resorted
to on the American side. Although
there may be something to the ex-
PLANTATION of certain Forest Service men
that the Interpretation of the federal
statutes controlling the activities of the
Forest Service, prohibits the ownership
of planes as a departmental function,
nevertheless, there can be no valid OBJ
lection to the hiring and use of private
ships for this purpose.
In addition to the added efficiency of
airplane patrol, in the last analysis, the
most important factor is whether we
want the Superior cut up by countless
fire protection trails. Here is the last
great wilderness lake region on the con-
tinent, an area increasingly important
from recreational standpoint and one
which depends chiefly for its charm on
the very fact that as yet much of it is
undeveloped wilderness. Every road
which is put in robs it of some of it's
appeal. If roads were the only possible
means of fire control, there would be
little argument, but the fact that we
are overlooking form of protection
infinitely more satisfactory and in
Stituting in its place a method that not
