RAINY LAKE BOATS
The place of the steam boat on
the big rivers. the Mississippi and
the Minnesota, is well recognized.
An interesting chapter in the
story of water transportation in
Minnesota concerns the use of
steam powered craft on many of
the larger inland lakes.
Many of the steam boats on
lakes as Mile Laos. Leech. YER
million. winnihigoshish and Rainy
were used In connection with the
logging industry, They moved
great RATS Of logs from place to
place. But they also served many
other interests,
The first steamboat on Rainy
lake was the w. c. Lloyd. II was
put into service in 1894. This boat
was IS feet long and very heavy,
II was shipped from the factory
where il was built TO Winnipeg by
rail, Then II came UP 10 river TO
Rat Portage. now Kenors. Then II
made its way across the Lake of
the Woods and thence up the
Rainy river TO the falls. II was
dragged around the falls by brute
strength.
There was plenty of business for
the W. c. Lloyd in 1894. These
were the days of the Rainy lake
gold rush. There We're many men
looking for precious metal and
within year after the Lloyd was
dragged around the falls II was
delivering mail TO twelve hundred
gold seekers on various shores OF
this lake. ....
Later other steam boats were
put TO work on Rainy. There We're

Calamity in Greece

There sometimes seems to be dark
and tragic affinity between Greece and
the calamitous forces of nature. Not many
months ago earthquakes wrought disaster
In the Ionian Islands, and now the same
evil has struck the lovely city Of Volos,
one Of the country's' chief industrial
centerS.
Although overshadowed by other
events elsewhere In the world, this news
is a thing of overriding importance to the
Greek people. After all, they have suf-
fered four such destructive visitations in
less than two years, and volos-in whose
beauty they have taken great pride-has
been pretty nearly ruined by the latest
calamity. A measure Of that is the fact
that only about 10 per cent Of the city's
homes remain intact.
In the circumstances, Prime Minister
Papagos, who has called upon the Greeks
to make new sacrifices to meet the costs
of this great new misfortune, is on solid
ground in appealing to allied countries for
help It is an appeal that should receive
the most sympathetic consideration here
In America, whereby contrast-we are
blessed with abundance and an absence
Of earthquakes.

America on Display

American participation in interna-
tional trade fairs has been one of the
steps advocated by President Eisenhower
in his program for expanded free world
commerce. In his special message to Con-
gress of last January 10, the Chief Execu-
tive reminded the legislative body that
such exhibitions have been "of major i'm
portance" to foreign countries for many
years and that the Communist countries,
in particular, have used them extensively
for propaganda purposes. At the same
time, he reported that program under
taken at his direction by the Department
of Commerce involved American represen-
tation at II such fairs in the first half OF
this year and perhaps in nearly score
of others during the second half.
The biggest of these worldwide expo
sitions has Just been held at Milan, Italy,
and news reports Of reaction to the Amer
lean displays bear out the Presidents

Three Cheers for Dr.. Kirk!

In an age pretty much Surfelted with
countless petitions for or against this and
that, it is refreshing to read that DR..
Grayson Kirk, president of Columbia Uni
versity, has refused to sign "scroll" re-
affirming "our faith and continued belief
in the Bill of Rights" BY so doing, he
has stirred up teapot tempest on the
campus, but the reasoning behind his
action makes great deal more sense
than the rather spluttery editorial criti-
cism showered on him by the undergrad
uate daily.
Thus, as DR.. Kirk has explained, "be-
cause the Bill of Rights is an integral part
Of our American political system, and has
been for 1874 years, and because 1t should
be assumed that any American Of intelli-
gence, common sense and devotion to our
American way Of life believes sincerely
in the provisions Of the Bill of Rights, the
act Of signing public petition in support
Of the Bill Of Rights is an empty and
gratuitous one" Stated another way,
patriotic citizen does not become the least
bit more patriotic by putting his name
to such document. Instead, he merely
goes through the rather meaningless mo-
ton of subscribing to what he already
believes in, and the process in that sense
is not unlike indorsing statement that
laudS virtue or denounces sin.
OF course, although name-collecting
projects have often been abused by self
seeking pressure groups, DR.. Kirk could
have added his signature to the scroll"
at Columbia without doing any harm
or any good, for that matter. He has
declined to do so, however, for reasons Of
principle and not because he fears the
opinions Of the bigoted, the intolerant and
the misinformed," as the student news
paper nonsensically suggests. After all,
the Bill of Rights certainly is broad enough
to include the right of a man, If he pleases,
to refuse to sign any Of the myriad peti-
tions that affiict and bore our world.
