He complimented the Minnesota forest service on its free- 

 dom from politics. He said that if the 'organization in Can- 

 ada could be as free from politics much better work would 

 be accomplished. 



"I would like to see service as non-political as that in Min- 

 nesota," he said. 



Thirteen students attending the summer forestry school in 

 Itasca state park attended the annual Chippewa-Sioux peace 

 celebration at the White Earth Indian reservation, June 13 

 and 14. They "hiked" 60 miles to be present when the In- 

 dians started their war dances, etc. Every year a group of 

 students from the summer school makes the ' pilgrimage to 

 the peace celebration. The canoe races, the war dances, the 

 running races, etc., that the Indians indulge in every year 

 have proved to be a source of interest to all those living 

 within a radius of 50 or 60 miles from the White Earth reser- 

 vation.
