AT NV SHOW
Minneapolis Sportsmen's Show
to Feature Indoor Jump;
Seek Girl Rider.

One of the top attractions at the
Northwest Sportsmen's Show opening
at the Minneapolis Auditorium on
April IL and continuing through April
20, will be Anders Haugen's indoor
ski exhibition, it was announced by F.
w. (Nick Kahler, manager of the
show
Haugen, the Norwegian gentleman
who originated the indoor ski slide
back in 1882, when the Northwest
Sportsmen's Show was in swaddling
clothes, will have three other jumpers
in his exhibition and, if possible. will
present girl jumper for the first
time in the history of the show.
George Mackie of Ishpeming, Mich
igan, and Daredevil Bob Jackson Of
Minneapolis will appera Mackie is a
former Michigan champion who turned
professional in 1886 to appear in
sportsmen's shows throughout the
country. Jackson is a product of the
Minneapolis slides and gained his nick
name by performing feats on skis that
the more tinid refused to undertake.
Haugen, of course, is the star Of
the troupe The 52-year-old Norwegian,
who has been skiing since he was two
years old, so far hasn't shown any of
the wear and tear that puts most
great athletes on the shelf at the age
of 40.
Recalling his early days in Norway,
Haugen claims he remembers being
put on skis by his fond parents when
he was two years old, and that he won
his first important ski tournament on
pair of borrowed skis at the age of
10.
Haugen came to the United States
| when just a youngster and won his
first National Ski championship in
1910.
Kahler believes that the Minnesota
Arrowhead country will be represented
by its largest number of exhibitors in
view of the fact Minnesota is looking
forward to the greatest resort bust
ness in its history. The Northwest
Sportsmen's Show attracts visitors from
Iowa. Wiconsin, the Dakotas, Wyoming
and Montana and Minnesota resort
owners are anxious to get their message
before those visitors.

DEARBORN, MICH. - When its
huge building program got under
way, the Navy faced another huge
problem, the training of men in
the highly technical duties which
crews are called upon to perform.
TIE existing naval training sta
ton. were already full. Turning
to industry, Navy officials found
that the Henry Ford Trade
School, situated in the heart of
the Rouge plant, was perfectly
suited to such training.
Henry Ford not only offered
the facilities of both school and
plant to the Navy for this pur-
pose, but also said he would build
barracks for 1900 students, mess
hall for 1000, administration
building, provision storage, recre-
alton room, athletic field, a steam
generating plant.
The offer was accepted, and on
December 6, 1910, the first shovel
of earth was turned on the bank
of the Rouge River. Forty days
later the first contingent took up
quarters in the newly erected
buildings. The Inauguration cere-
monies were described by Com
msc5er c. p. Cecil as unique in
the slstory of the United States

TO PROTECT
spawn BEDS
Conservation Dept. Says Bass
and Panfish Propagation
Would be Added.

An intensive campaign to encourage
the establishment of protected spawn
ing areas for bass and panfish was
mapped this week by the department
of conservation.
Norman L. Moe, state superintendent
of fish propagation, said wardenS would
be instructed to stimulate local action
toward setting aside reserved" areas
for nest-building fish until July Is.
Hundreds of lakes which have moi
had spawning beds posted in recent
years, if at all, would be contacted
under the plan. Department officials
view spawning bed protection as the
number one" propagation medium for
neStbuilderS.
officials pointed out that black bass
Sunfish and crappies spawn according
to water temperature. Males guard the
nest, savagely attacking any intruder
When males are removed by ill-advised
early season angling, the nest and
brood are destroyed.

crisis is over, we can then re
claim these mechanically trained

In turning the facilities of
school and plant over to the
Navy for training personnel,
Edsel Ford explained that his
father had established the Henry
Ford Trade School "a years ago
because he believed in using the
facilities of the Ford Motor Com
pany for something more than
the building of motor vehicles.
He believed that these facilities
could also be used for the build
ing of YOUTH
Rear Admiral c. w. Nimitz, who
came from Washington to repre-
sent Secretary Knox, accepted the
facilities of school and plant. 81
can think of no better place for
this extension of the Navy train
ing program" he declared. 81 wish,
MIR. Ford, to express to you the
appreciation of the Navy Depart
ment for this fine demonstration
OF patriotism on your part"
The new Navy Service School
will be under the administration
of Rear Admiral John Downes,
Commandant of the Ninth Naval
District, which includes Is states
and has headquarters at Great
Lakes, Illinois.
After explaining that the men
to be trained here come from
both the Pacific and the Atlantic,
as well as the Great Lakes, he
added: 1--WE know that Mr.. Ford
has here established the finest
school in the world for training
men in the mechanical trades.

CONSERVATION
BRIEFS

The bird migration season is Just
around abe corner-but nesting is al
ready underway.
Department of Conservation reported
finding the nest of great horned awl.
Great horned owls and prairie horned
larkS-the two earliest nesting of all
Minnesota birds-are already engaged
in the springtime occupation. Owls
nest usually in hollow trees, or aban-
doned hawks nests; the larks build
in bare spots on open fields.
Both species frequently encounter
difficulties because of the early nest
ing habit, the department pointed out.
Owls eggs have been known to freeze
with a drop in temperature when ur-
attended, and the larks seldom bring
off a successful brood until mid-spring
The native deer herd in Camden
State Park, located in Lyon county,
few miles south of Marshall, has
increased from eight to eleven, local
observers report.
The deer roam the park at will un-
confined by fence. They have found
adequate food and cover on the dense
ly wooded hillsides surrounding the
park
SportSmen, game wardens, and park
superintendent have been conducting
drives against wild dogs that have
been molesting the deer herd in Jay
Cooke State Park in Carlton County.
Department of conservation officials
kept close watch on the food supplies
available for game birds and animals
this week as the winter season moved
toward a close.
During January, the Bureau of
Game Propagation under Frank Blair,
supervised deer feeding operations at
Grand Marais, Finland, Crimson, Du-
luth and Bemidji.
| Some funds were made available for
feeding the caribou herd of the Red
Lake game preserve-last one in the
United States-and upland game birds
were aided in scattered areas.
The rough fish removal is a self
supporting activity. Contract holders
pay the state 20 per cent of receipts.
During January these receipts, together
with revenue from Itasca county bull
head fishing, totalled $5,144 The bal
ance in the fund February l was
$11,271.
The Department of Conservation this
week had available for distribution to
schools three conservation teaching
pamphlets on selected subjects. Known
as Conservation Teaching Aids Nos.
l, 2, and 8, the pamphlets are entitled
Game and Fish," Stories of Con-
servation,' and Conservation Topics"

Minnesota organization to "get be-
hind the movement to develop con-
servation consciousness"

other club to develop a program that
will bring the message of conservation
home to the residents of a COM
