Finland's Name

The name Finland has nothing to
do with the fin of a fish, as one
might be excused for thinking at
first glance. True. the country has
a long seacoast bordering on the
Baltic, but inland there are many
lakes surrounded by marshes and
connected by glistening streams
and canals. Many years ago re-
gions like this were called fens.
Thus the little country in the north
ern part of Europe became known
as fen-land, or marsh-land, and, as
the years passed and people spoke
carelessly, its name changed to Fin
land.

the first man to conquer the heights

in the White mountains. II thrusts
its summit 6, 288 feet above the sea

Some settlers feared to wander
far from their settlements, but OAR
by Field was one of those bold ad-
venturers for whom even the hard
life of the colonist was too tame.
He was accompanied by two In
dian guides. On June day in 1912,
Field stood on the summit of Mount
Washington.
AS the Colonies grew and demand
ed wood for building, for paper, and
for other manufactures, lumbermen
carelessly swung their axes over
the White mountain slopes and
stripped them of their trees. All but
a few thousand acres Of primeval
forest were cut over.
The forests one sees today are
largely second growth, but no long
er are they in jeopardy.
Great Stone Face"
Mount Washington is admittedly
the dominating feature of the White
mountains and nearly every visitor
to northern New Hampshire hopes
to stand on its summit. But if your
time is short and storm clouds
thwart that hope. there are scores
of other features that are well worth
a ramble among the heights.
Chief among these is the Profile,

of the Mountain" or as Hawthorne S

eyes penetrating the underground
For some reason unknown to Hall he
looked up-and for a moment was
stunned by 1.-The most wonderful
face" he had ever seen.
News of the discovery spread
rapidly over New England. The
road Hall was working on was
pushed through the notch. Men and
women came on horseback, by
stage, carriage, and cart. The
popularity of the Profile was one of
the factors that influenced the build
ing of a railroad into the Franconia

ICINCE 1866 visitors to the

This is the second greatest show
on earth" P. T. Barnum said when
he stood on the summit of Mount
Washington and scanned the tumble
of peaks and ridges Of the White
mountains, spreading from the
waistline of New Hampshire to Can
ada and from its Maine border to
the Connecticut valley, which sep
arates this Granite state from Yer
mont.
Many New Englanders. dyed-in-
the-wool White mountain fans who
insist that nowhere has nature en-
dowed a region with such fascinat-
ing heights, on first thought ques-
toned Barnum's judgment. To
them, the White mountains show is
second to none.
However, when they recalled the
showman's love for his trained ami
mails, gaudy trappings, and strange
creations of nature that drew mil
lions into his acres of canvas, they
felt that his exclamation was the
highest praise.
Origin of the Name a Mystery.
How and when the White noun
tainS got their name is as mysteri-
Gus as many of their often-told leg
ends. White mountains" appeared
in a manuscript as early as 1872;
and even before that time they
were called the White hills" by
mariners on the Atlantic, go miles
away, for whom they formed an
important landmark
To modern eyes, too, the name
seems apt, whether it be derived
from the white mist that often hangs
over the higher peaks, from the
whitish- gray effect Of the sun upon
rocks of the mountain tops above
the timberline, or from the snow
that normally covers the peaks of
the Presidential range for eight or
nine months of the year.
The White mountains are divided
into two distinct areas.
Between Plymouth on the south
and the vicinity of Gorham on the
north is the high mountain region
where every year more than two
million men and women enjoy test
ing their leg muscles among New
England's highest peaks, motoring
on excellent highways, and utilizing
the scores of recreational facilities,
or just looking up from spacious
hotel verandas toward the lofty en-
inences sweeping from quiet val
leys.
Beyond Gorham is a challenging
wilderness with Dixville notch its
crowning glory and Berlin its only
large population center. Here is the
paradise of the sportsman searching
streams and lakes for trout, salmon
pickerel, horned pout, perch, anC
small-mouthed bass. The forests
shelter bears. deer, and ruffeC
grouse.

has been the White mountains chief
lure to vacationists for more than q
century.
