the state tourist bureau, more Min.
nesotans are giving thought to thi:
than ever before, giving rise to pros.
poets that this years tourists will
fare even better here than usual.
The more than 10000 people who at
tended the American Bowling Congress
tournament in the St. Paul municipal
auditorium over the weekend showed
deep interest in the Minnesota vaca-
tionland display there by the state
tourist bureau.
Firmly believing the tourist trade is
an economic asset of primary import
ance, the people of Canada are not
letting the war interfere with their
program to encourage people from
other countries to travel and vacation
in the Dominion. This is evidenced
by full page advertisements appearing
in the large national magazines. The
government of the province of Ontario
alone has appropriated 100000 for
tourist publicity this year.
Apparently the people of Michigan
are learning that the tourist business
Is community builder, judging from
the following which appeared recently
in the Grand Rapids, Michigan Press:
"'The value of the development of
the tourist industry seems to be clearly
portrayed in the numerous western and
northern Michigan communities by the
measure of growth these centers have
enjoyed in the last few years, reversing
a trend which has been in progress
since the decline of the old numbering
days. 1t is notable that in almost
every community in which resort and
tourist promotion has been embraced
there has been substantial business
expansion in the last decade"

SHORTS ABOUT
TOURISTS

Minnesota for the first time invaded
the deep solid south with tourist
bureau display at the Southern Sports
mems Show in New Orleans. This was
the same mammoth exhibit which
Iearlier this season aroused so much
enthusiasm at the National Boat show
in Chicago, the Southwest Sportsmen's
show at st. Louis and the international
Sports Show in Chicago.
With several husdred thousand
people paying SO cents per person to
see these displays, and so many of
them appearing intensely interested in
what Minnesota offers as an outdoor
vacation land, there can hardly be
any questions but that these shows are
inducing many of them to put this
state on their summer vacation tour
itinerary, according to Victor A. john
ston, director of the bureau.
Last week the Minnesota tourist
bureau display was on exhibit for
four days at the Cincinnati Enquirer
Travel show in that Ohio city. This
was the fifth travel, sports and out
door exhibition where Minnesota was
on display thus far this year
Four more are on the spring sche-
duIe-the Iowa Corn Belt show, Mar
90 to April 5, at Des Moines; the
Northwest Sports show, April IL to 20,
in Minneapolis; the Daily News Travel
Show, April 1927, in Chicago, and the
Milwaukee Sentinel Sports show, April
26 to May 4, in Milwaukee.
The Ides of March may not cut any
figure whatsoever in the plans and
future prospects of Misnesotans gen.
orally, but these slushy and clustering
spring days are causing the thoughts
Of many to turn to several things be-
sides love.
One is that fishing and vacation time
s drawing nearer and the season ap-
when the tourist business
reaches its peak of the year. Accord

ed Young Men Enrolling
for Spring Period.

The regular spring enrolment period
for recruiting men into the Civilian
Conservation Corps has recently been
announced. This period will be open
from April to 20, and 81 handled
through your local County Welfare
Offices.
Young men who cannot find en-
Iployment should consider the oppor-
tunities offered by the CCC. Past
work experience in some qualified
form is usually considered essential
by employers when hiring men. This
factor is particularly important to
young men who have not had much
experience to their credit. Aside from
the type of acceptable work expert
ence found in the CCC, many special
skillS can also be gained.
In aneffort to learn what specific
activities are carried on in Mime
apolis camps, Duluth officials of the
Superior National Forest were con-
tacted.
I'VE currently engage in large con-
struction asd reforestation programs, /"
Supervisor Glare Hendee states "As
in all camps, the opportunities are
varied to suit the interests and apti-
tudes of as many as practicable. The
rolleeS are used in all cases for the
operation of machinery and are taught
the repair and mainteSance of this
equipment" Hendee added
All told, the eight CCC camps on
the Superior National Forest have As
large tractors, each requires an en-
rollee operator, besides the alternate
drivers and additional men who are
trained to handle these units. Along
with these, heavy hydraulic power
graders and scrapers, fresnoes, power
Shovels, rock crusherS, air compress
sors, and dragline units are used. Fvie
special fleets of dump trucks are in
continuous operation, in addition to
the regular setup of transportation
asd freighting trucks. Many other
types of machinery and equipment are
used in each camp. So, with the work
experience gained while using it on
the jobs, these same units serve in
carrying additional special training
courses also go into the more techni-
cal fundamentals through shop and
classroom work.
Other work projects carried on in
the forest include construction and
maintenance of all types of buildings,
telephone lines, bridges for roads and
trails, concrete dams, and stone macon
ry work, landscaping, and public cam
ground facilities. Tree planting and
nursery work require a large share of
the labor during the summer season.
Fish planting is done in all camps in
the spring and fall. Certain camps
handle number of special jobs, such
as manufacture of signs, lumber and
logging needed orbridges and other
improvements All men receive special
training for forest fire control work.
These work projects are continuous
throughout the summer and offer an
excellent opportunity to local men in
this area.

Ely Schools Concert is Lauded
BY Music LOVERS as Best Giuen
The best ever!

That's the way Ely people
attending the Ely schools con-
cert given last Thursday de-
scribed the program.
Appearing were the orches-
ira, a cappella choir, and Mad
rigal Singers.
The concert replaced the
opera staged annually in the
past, and the change was made
in order to give more mem
bers Of the musical organiza-
tons a chance to appear before
the public.
Director Frank v. Di Nino's
work with the orchestra and
Miss Elizabeth Wilkins with
the vocal groups have made the
organizations among the finest
in Northern Minnesota.
The orchestra featured sell
lections from the light operas
The New Moon, In A Persian
Market, and Naughty Marietta,
as we'll as operas by Friml,
while offerings by the vocal
groups consisted of liturgical
music, spirtuals, and madrigals
sung without accompaniment.
