CHIPPEWA INDIANS
TO DEDICATE TRIBAL
COMMUNITY HOUSE
3,000 Indians Expected to Attend
the Nish-nah-fa-mo-no-
ke-ga-za-win
The Chippewa Indians will stage a
dedication of new tribal community
house on their newly created reservation three miles east and one mile
south of Mt. Pie asant, Michigan, the
only newly created Indian reservation
in the lower peninsula of Michigan.
It is! expected more than 3000 Indians will attend the Nish-nah-ba Mo-
no-ke-ga-za-win, translated into English, it means, Indian happy celebration, at Nish-nah-ba An-du-nuk-ke-mi-
za-wod, which in turns means, Indian
grove.:
The celebration will be staged for
four days from July 7 to 10. The
Chippewas will demonstrate daily the
true Indian art of basket weaving,
wood carving, birch bark, sweet grass,
and porcupine quill work, a traditional
art which they still retain.
On the grounds there will be a huge
Indian village, with its Wigwams in
full fashion, to give evidence of how
the aboriginal natives lived in the
early days long before the advent of
the whiteman.
On Sunday afternoon there will be a
religious sermon and address of welcome by noted Indian speakers. During the evening there will be a camp-
fire, music, and community singing.
During the remaining three days
there will be staged a panaroma of the
Chippewas depicting the early life of
the red man to the present modern
environments.
The committeemen said that they
expect their pageant to surpass any
Indian pageant of its kind regardless
where it is staged.
Several of the old warriors, more
than seventy summers in age, have
been called to direct the drill rehearsals of the Chippewa pageant showing
how their forefathers danced and lived
the primitive life. All who take part
will be dressed in full buckskin regalias. ••■*'■
During the intervals of the pageant,
the music will be furnished by the
Chippewa Indian band. The band is
composed entirely of Indians. It has
played at the Chicago World's Fair
and has made radio appearance at Bay
City, Michigan, and, has also played,
for church benefits. '.*.•'.•
There will be a baseball, game, played entirely by Indians, tin theif newly
. constructed recreation ground-. tln-
doubtedly, many will remember the
playing ability of the Mt. Pleasant
Indian School baseball team which
goes back a quarter centttry or more.
The hardwood grove «n the reservation will be open to'the'public" during
the celebration; Here transient campers will find it convenieHi to pitch
their tents. Space has also been provided for auto trailer •owners/

Two   Pages   in   Cincinnati
Enquirer Devoted
to Route
In a letter commenting on a full
page of advertising and a publicity
story in the Resorts and Travel section
of the Sunday; June 16th, edition of
the Cincinnati Enquirer, inviting tourists from Ohio and ajoinmg States to
Northern Michigan's ''Summer Playground," T, F. Marston, Secretary-
Manager of the East Michigan Tourist
Association, says, "Here is a wonderfully fine piece of advertising and publicity for US-127 and US-27 and the
communities along these highways,
which we believe you will find interesting and we hope pleasing."
Outline maps of Michigan in each
upper corner of the page advertisement are superinscribed with the
words "Vacation Land" and a sketch
of the two highways "Through the
Heart of Michigan", forming the most
direct completely paved route from the
Michigan-Ohio border to the Straits
of Mackinac, extends up and down the
center of the page, flanked on either
side by advertisements of the communities through which the route passes.
Prominent among the advertisements is one telliug of Glare's tourist
attractions, paid tor -through the cooperation of the Clare Chamber of
Commerce and East Michigan Tourist
Association.
In the publicity story, profusely illustrated and filling several columns,
Frank Davis, Assistant E. M. T. A.
Secretary, tells in his convincing manner of the beautiful nature spots and
tourist accomodations of Michigan's
vast Summer playground, devoting
several paragraphs to Clare, Harrison
and surrounding points,, of interest to
our Summer visitors.
This Sunday edition of the Enquirer
had a circulation of over 205,000
copies, distributed in Cincinnati, Ohio
and neighboring States, the source of
a major portion of Michigan's annual
summer visitors.

the Clare and Farwell Methodist
Churches announced to his congregations last Sunday that an exchange
had been effected between himself
and Rev. Robert H. Benedict, minister
of the Methodist Church of Powell,
Wyoming. The arrangement is to last
over a period of two months during
the summer.
The local .pastor will deliver his
last messages before leaving for the
west Sunday, July 7, and will leave
with Mrs. Rogers and tho children,
Betty June and Jimmie, the following
day. He is to begin his ministry in
the Wyoming church July 14.

two children, Bob and June, plan fo
leave Powell July 1 for their eastward

Powell is a city about the size of
Clare, located about a three hours
drive from Yellowstone National
Park, with elevation about 4400 feet
above sea level. It is believed and
hoped this change of climate for a
season will be beneficial to the whole
family, and they hope to return to
Clare in September in better health,
ready for the fall and winter program.
If any of their friends should be
travelling west this summer they
suggest you pay them a visit at
Powell, going by way of the Red
Lodge-Cooke City Highway, one of the
finest scenic mountain highways in
the world.
