Reverend r. L. Young, Editor
The Weekly Echo
Meridian, Mississippi
Dear Reverend Young:
Please permit me to commend your
editorial titled DO We Want TO Work"
in the Weekly Echo Of date October 3.
You should have related from your own
personal experience how after doing all
the thing referred to in the editorial
you walked fourteen miles a day TO
school.
From my own prsonal experience do
not recall ever having had lunch to
carry to school, and most times went
without breakfast, even of pea-licker
and bread. Many days l did eat, how
ever, by working some classmates prob
lens for part of their lunch.
1t seems that cur people have the mis-
taken idea that by some trick Of magic
they individually and the race as a
group may be transposed over night
from poverty to riches, from failure 70
success out of the alley to Park Avenue
but history on every hand refutes this
and presents a most convincing argu-
ment in support Of your concluding
statement: g. if you wish to be any
thing in life if you wish 10 10 anything
in life you cannot Sit up and Sit but
yoL will have to Git up and Git"
With every good wish and kind per-
sonal regard,
Sincerely yours,
The weekly echo., 1941-10-17

Editors Note:-The following let
ter was written by a reader and
subscriber to the Weekly Echo,
Mlssissippian, young man who to
our way of thinking, is one of the
most outstanding young men in
Mississippi to-day
He holds unique position as a
leader of our race. He is a safe
sound, clean and dependable gen.
tleman. We did not give his name
not because we were afraid but
for other logical reasons.

walls with nearly 10000 motor vehicle
owners representing all vocations and
all sections of the state. Classed as
pleasure travel were trips to church,
theaterS, dances, games, visiting, eve
ming and Sunday rides. weekend, hol-
iday and vacation travel, hunting and
fishing; all travel to places of recre-
alto, even though the travel itself may
not be classed as pleasure. Business
travel includes commercial and pro-
feSsional trips, rides to and from
work, to railroad stations, to cream
cries and markets, shopping, and TAX
ing children to school, Travel by tax
exempt vehicles, by vehicles from other
states, and by Minnesota vehicles in
other states, was not included in the
estimates.
Rural passenger car owners esti-
mated 81 per cent of their travel was
business and 46 per cent pleasure and
miscellaneous, urban car owners esti-
mated 40 per cent for business and 60
per cent pleasure and miscellaneous.
Travel by rural-owned private trucks
was 96.5 per cent business and 35 per
cent pleasure and miscellaneous;
urban-owned trucks, 986 per cent
business and IA per cent pleasure and
miscellaneous. Rural includes unin-
corporated areas and incorporated
places of 1000 or less; urban includes

water levels will be maintained where
natural barriers have been destroyed
by man, or where long established
levels have been artificially created.
10. Campgrounds i'll be constructed
only where use creates sanitation and
fire protection conditions inimnal to
public health and hazardous to public

native materials and primitive methods
of construction will be used.
IL. Directional rustic signs with
burned-in letters may be used at juno
tons of routes of travel.
II. No special use permits for &C.
cupancy of government owned land will
be issued within the roadless area.
Hendee, in commenting on the pro-
posed mo cutting" area, stated thai
the area included 10000 acres Of
land area within the roadless area
and extended along the international.
boundary from Loon to Saganaga lake
He said that no commercial sales Of
timber would be made in the area
and that it would be reserved for rec
reational use. In this area, approx
mately 100000 acres are government
owned 10000 acres are state owned
and 10000 acres privately owned.
In discussing the forest service policy
as to the harvesting of timber on the
balance of the land in teh roadless
area, Hendee said that timber could
be harvested without interfering with
the recreational use since no cutting is
permitted along the lake and stream
shores. He pointed out that if mature
timber is not harvested in the area
it will increase the fire hazard, ano
valuable timber products and employ
ment to the local people would be lost
No commercial timber sales have

st. Louis county, largest county in
Minnesota, in the heart of the Arrow

all stocked with game fish. The water
area of the lakes is more than 212,673
acres. 1t is claimed that this county
has more lakes than any other in the
United States.
Near Bemidji there are more than
100000 acres of land in state and

Lake Itasca, headwaters of the Mis-

If an ardent angler was to devote
every day for six months of the year
to his hobby, it would take the indi-
vidual more than 80 years to fish the
lakes of the Minnesota Arrowhead
Country, spending one day on each of
the 5000 lakes in the area.
He would find variety of fish rang

lunge to crappies and perch. He could

shallow, sandbottom lakes; rocky shore
lakes; waterfalls, coves where nllypads
shade shelters for the wary bass; the
deep-glacial lakes of the border region

of water which can be traversed only
by canoe, even as the Redmen covered
the area.

Hendee Says Future Steps
viii Result in More
Restricted Area.

Policies of the u S. forest service
in administering the roadless area OF
the Superior National Forest have
been outlined by Clare Hendee, Du-
luth, supervisor of the forest.
These policies have not been
changed since the first roadleSs area
was established in 1926, Hendee said
and those now proposed will result in
more restricted use than in the past
The proposed mo cutting" area
along the international boundary was
a constructive move in keeping with the
established policy Of giving primary
consideration to recreational use in
the lake area and along the boundary
waters.
Since the establishment of the first
roadleSS area in 1926, two additional
areas have been established, until now
the total acreage of the three road
less areas is 100000 acres. Of this
total the federal government owns
approximately $4,000 acres, $4,000
acres are owned by the state, and
$4,000 acres are in private ownership
The policies governing the admin
iStration of the roadleSs areas are as
follows, and concern only the govern
ment owned land within the area:
l. No roads will be constructed ex-
cept purely temporary roads incident
to the removal of forest products
built at the time forest products are
actually to be removed.
2. The principle of conserving the
natural beauty of shore lines for rec
reational use shall apply to all federal
lands which border upon any boundary
lake or stream contiguous to this area
or any other lake or stream within this
area which is now or eventually to be
in general use for boat or canoe travel
and that for the purpose of carrying
out this principle logging of all such
shores to a depth of four hundred feet
from the natural water line Is hereby
forbidden, except as the Forest SerV-
ice of the Department of Agriculture
may see fit in particular instances to
vary the distance for practical reasons
3. No boat houses or other struc-
lures COIlSGI ny GllG 1OISSO SCI
vice for fire protection will be built
on lake shores unless they are screened
from view of the water travel route.
4. No docks at ends of portages
will be constructed except at marshy
or extremely rocky landings. Only
native material of rock and sand fills
and drag log types will be permitted.
On large lakes where motor boats are
principally used, practical docks viii
be permitted of native material
keeping as much as possible to the
natural shore line.
5. Only log structures will be used
for fire protection buildings.
6. Portages will be maintained tc
insure reasonably firm and even foot
ing for canoe portaging.
z. Foot trail construction will be
governed by the same policy as por-
tage construction.
8. The alignment of trails and por-
tages will be such as to avoid long

Contract netting of rough fish as

Removal of 3,011 ,456 pounds of rough
fish from Minnesota lakes and streams
during the past fiscal year was re-
ported by the state game and fish div
ision.
Operations were carried on under
closely supervised contract netting. L.

State realized approximately 20 per
cent of the gross sale value of the
fish. The money will be used for ex-
panding the rough fish control pro-
gram.
Of the fish taken, 2,652,83 pounds
were sold. The remaining 358,620
pounds were unstable or disposed of

Department of conservation ap-

included in st. Louis and Lake county

are examined in detail as efforts are
made to include only timber that is
overmature and deteriorating in the

Several experimental projects are be-
ing conducted from which it is hoped
to obtain useful and practical informa-
ton with reference to closer utilization
of timber and actual costs on more
