At the same time, Harold Olson, director of the roadside development division, points out that tha cost of the program is largely offset by prevention of erosion and grade disintegration generally. Ho said also that beautifiratlon has an additional value in that It provides safer highways through rolled shoulders and better vision.

Landscape development and ground improvements have resulted in tha planting of 1,400 trees and shrubs and the removal of 5,665 cubic yards of earth.

Stone masonry totaling 240 cubic yards was also laid. The work will continue in 1933, according to Olson, and his division will strive to make the highways of Minnesota so attractive, safe and convenient that they offer an additional lure to those who wish to vacation in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. shin, while Aberdeen, which won finders of the Oglethorpe crypt by tho contest from 1A31 to 1934 In m. to "put a lloor under wnK" Stionjf objection ha been niadfl to any plan that would eventually lawo minimum wk" hl" 10 ccnU an hour.

Sioux sun dances, the Great While Father decided, were too cruel. Walt Braten, Cody, saw two, and he is now one of the few men living who ever witnessed the ceremony In its original form. The sun dance was a time-honored custom among the Sioux. Each spring when the grass grew high and lush it was held in preparation for the exploits and war parties of the summer. Essentially, it consisted in a ceremony wherein the young men of the tribe were tested for their endurance and bravery.

Those who failed were ever afterwards humiliated and forced into menial jobs. For days before the ceremony excitement ran high. The wise men watched the heavens, for the sun dance required the services of a full moon as well as the sun. Young bucks, never conspicuous for their modesty, boasted of their bravery, each confident, to all outward appearances, of his ability to prove himself a man. Old men, never tired of telling of their own faded talents and demoaning the chronic degeneration of the race, told how much braver they had been in those golden days of old.
