LAC VIEUX DESERT INDIAN VILLAGE A CHALLENGE! Trip To Indian Village Discloses Interesting Viewpoint By. W. S. Sylvester From a missionary point of view, and that doesn't mean just important as Jhe work of the preaching-ministry do not minimize it the from a missionary view of also cleaning up a needy community, helping a group of folks to a higher, better, more standard of living, raising social standards, giving better, happier homes, making cleaner, nobler people, (men and women) finer boys and girls, better young from that Missionary point of Vieux De Sert Indian Village is a And what a challenge! Take a trip in and see it, south of Watersmeet, on US Highway 2, from the great Gogebic range throbbing with its life, business, mines, stores, schools, churches, homes; and go in on that woodland side road marked by an artistic Indian sign on a swinging cross-post painted with an Indian Chief's head and the legend: 'Indian Village 8 miles" (East), arrow directs! Follow a winding, unditched but much worn automobile trail thru sparse second jack pine and shrub, just now patches of purple and golden wild flowers, the early fall and late summer blooms, and by a wild lake, do not yet know its name; and on until, abruptly, you come upon a scattering group of old frame and partly log houses, unpainted and weather beaten and faded. You detect life, the dark and tanned complexions denoting Indian blood and yes, it's a Chippewa village! It is Lac Vieux De Sert! Now, most people will just sit in iheir cars, take a cursory glance, may- see some Indians moving about not in the best Sunday-Go-To-Meeting-Finery, or to use the slang, "All dressed up and no place to go" togs on their human bodies.

Did you get that last adjective? "Human Well, that's just the difference in minds, folks, a missionary, if he be a real one, a true one, a human being himself, will see folks as suman beings. Will sense their needs as human beings, more he will see them as spiritual entities, which means, perhaps, real souls. And with this view, friends of the Times reading circle, LacVieux De Sert is a challenge. Will you respond? Will you help? Or will you as those who sit in cars a sightseeing, make a cursory glance shudder and say: "Oh my! Those dirty Indians!" For some months now, I have been trying withoutu definite pay or salary to feel the pulse of the public. Study business and contact re-actions and watch the ebb and flow of life on the Gogebic range.

I have commuted back and forth from Ironwood Odanah. In Odanah, as some know, now, I have been trying to boost the work of a much worthwhile man, an Indian Artist of real ability. I have sold a few of his paintings very cheap to get his work started and obtain recognition for him. I succeeded in selling two nice oil paintings to Mr. J.

H. King, the dynamic business man of Watersmeet, and Detroit who is doing things in a big way, told in another article, at Land O'Lakes, on the Michigan-Wisconsin border and close by it. Mr. King is the type of a man, if one gets started on the right track who will back up a real program of civic betterment at this Indian Village. I wish to correct one statement that is going aaround.

It's this. The Indians at Lac Vieux De Sert are not "a dirty low-down bunch" as some told me. There maybe a few unfortunate ones who get more liquor than they should drink or hold, that's a white man's problem, too, let me remind you. But I went into a few well swept homes, no fine rugs, no art work, lacking in beautiful furniture maybe, but they were the humble dwellings of the "short and simple annals of the poor" and "Lo, the poor Indian" if you please. Now I wish to inform you, frankly, that I contacted as fine a group of live, wide awake, smiling boys and girls, mostly boys, and some older folks, as one would wish to see, and most I saw were clean.

We had appointment to take four Indian boys, two of them youthful married men, ages 21 and 22, two boys ages 17, to give a pow-wow exhibition of Chippewa song and simple dance movement at the home of Mr. Thomas J. Halbert of Black Oak Lake, near Land O'Lakes village He has a cottage on Black Oak where he has been summering since 1905 and has seen that lake build up with a million dollars worth of summer homes and improvements. Mr. Halbert entertains the boys and girls of the lake and village each summer with an Ice Cream Social.

I was invited and was also told to invite some Indian boys by Mr. Halbert. Going out of the Indian Village the young Chippewa's Plymouuth car stalled with a defective carburetor. We were four miles out of the village and had four yet to go to reach the main highway. Here we were in a pickle.

The car could not get power to make the hills and grades. Carburetor leaked gas, no proper wrenches to take it apart. A prayer for a bit of timely aid. Oh friends, how often it comes, most unexpectedly! It came! The Reverend Wayne A. Garrard, Rector of St.

Paul's church, Episcopal, of Kankakee, Illinois and his wife, Mrs. Garrard were coming back of us in a nice new Ford six car and, with a few words of explanation, in which he briefly expressed his great Interest in Missionary work among the Indians, he pushed Pattie and Joe Pete boys, the Chippewa youth's Plymouth car, out to the highway, four miles, and on to Land O'Lakes garage where the car was left, temporarily, for repair. Then "the present help in the hour of Wayne A. Garrard and wife, offered to take us all, four Indian lads and myself, out to Black Oak Ice cream social, another four miles or so. Here after games and baseball, the ice cream was served in two big helpings to all with cookies and lots of fireudly social contacts and Sylvester, the highway and byway missionary, had a chance to speak to nearly seventy-five mixed audience of boys and girls and adults.

When it'started to rain we all adjourned from outof- doors, to the Halbert cottage. Here in the parlor the brothers and two other Chippewa lads lent missionary color by their presence and their pow-wow songs In Chippewa Folks were there from Chicago, Winnetka, and Evanston, Illinois and other points. The Halberts are from Minneapolis. Yes, my friend, Lac Vieux De Sert is a challenge. Fishermen At Lake Gogebic Supplied By Water Depot IRONWOOD, Aug.

who forget their rulers or whose memory of certain points in the fishing laws is none too good have little to worry about on Lake Gogebic. Conservation officers have made it easy to abide by the regulations there, by setting up an information box off shore. The box is nailed to a tree standing in the water and In it is ke.pt a supply of copies of the fishing regulations. Now fishermen can help themselves without even getting out of the boat. And, of course, part of the contents of each copy of the regulations contains a printed facsimile of a ruler.

Election Supplies Received By County And City Clerks Primary election supplies furnished by the Department of State are now in the hands of the County Clerks. These supplies consist of county canvassers' statements, placards of instructions to voters, paper seals for the ballots and metal seals for the ballot boxes. The Department of State does not furnish pencils, poll boxes and ballots; these are furnished by the different counties. However, the Secretary of State, as the chief election official designs these forms and supplies used in the elections so as to have uniformity throughout the State. Because of the new "Secret Primary Law" which was passed during the last legislature, two ballot boxes will be necessary this time rather than one used previously.

The Department is now sending out to all County Clerks, stickers to be placed on the ballot boxes with the legends, "Voted Ballots" and "Unvoted The voters should remember in this election that they should separate their ballots, fold them Individ ually, and hand them to the election official, designating which one is the "Voted Range's 14th Fatality Occurs At Geneva Crossing Monday The fourteenth fatality of the range occuurred Monday when John Olson, 79, county infirmary inmate, died at Grand View hospital from injuries received when an automobile in which he was riding was struck by an eight car ore train at the Davis spur track. Oscar G. Larson, 637 Lake avenue, driver of the car, suffered a severe fracture of both bones in one arm. Luther Johnson, 198 Banfleld street, and Fingil Sjoblom, 631 Lake avenue other occupants of the car, received minor bruises. Olson had a head injury, severe lacerations of the chest and body and internal injuries.

He had lived in tronwood many years 'before entering the county Infirmary in 1932. Robert Puhlman was engineer on the northeast bound ore train, William Rohaw was fireman, and the train crew included Adolph Hein, in charge as foreman and Leo McManman and Earl Sibley. Sept. 2 PROnATP. ORDER Sept.

Phone 14 BULLDOZER CLEARED 40 ACRES THIS WEEK Clearing Done On Township Farms Approximately forty acres of stump land have been cleared and the knolls levelled during the past week by the bulldozer land clearing machine, according to C. E.

Gunder son, County Agr'l Agent. This work has been done on the farms of Nante Piilola, Henry Imbols, Victor Wau- rio, Andrew Jarvi, Arnold Waurio, Albert Srnetana, Arnold Johnson, Henry Kinnunen, Waino Juntunen and Fred Kivi. Many of those who have had their lands cleared this summer and early fall will have time to remove the stumps, stones and brush after which it will be plowed, disked and harrowed. Much of this land will become improved pasture with seed- ings of about 12 pounds of a mixture of alsike clover, Brome Grass, timothy, redtop and some alfalfa. The bulldozer Is effective ia destroying sources of weeds and grasshoppers.

With improved pasture conditions, the dairy income per farm ought also to increase. Following the work of the bulldozer in clearing land of stumps second growth brush and leveling knolls, it is practical to use a breaker plow, cut-away disk and quack- grass eradicator to place the land in condition for growing crops. Such a demonstration was held on the John. Kangas farm on June 2nd. Approximately 300 farmers visited this demonstration.

Soils conditions were not good however, due to the heavy aad continuous rains which made it difficult to operate some types of machinery. However, demonstrations along this line are planned for September 20, 21st and 22nd. Boys and Girls!
