THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1935 @ 8 Peace Garden Development Should Be Inspiration to Boosters of N. D. Badlands International Peace Garden Architect’s Plan History and Future of Turtle Mountain International Park Is Reviewed President Says World Is Taking Notice of This Monument to Good Will Stimulation of travel to North Da- kota, not through “forth Dakota, long thas been the dream of state boosters. For 50 years the admirers of the Badlands have thought that one day this wild area in the western part of the state would be comparable in tourist attraction to the Black Hills, Yellowstone or the other great na- taonal parks. Lack of development, falure to ‘properly finance regional advertising and indifference of the vas’ majority of North Dakota Citizens to their natural wonderland stiil finds the Badlands little known outside the confines of the state. < Just what can be accomplished by an association of boosters with a goal is best illustrated by the international attention that is being focused on an area in the state which North Dakota citizenry paid little heed to 10 years ago—the Turtle mountains. ‘The International Pace Garden corporaton’s work there in develop- {ng an international symbol of peace more and more is attracting not just local interest but the attention of the North American continent, and it is forecast that one day it will attract thousands of visitors each year, ‘What is being done there and what will be done there is reviewed in a feature story published in the New York Times recently and written by Dénald Creighton, president of the International Peace Garden corpora- tion, It is reprinted as follows: Much Construction Done Now that the “peace garden” estab- lished upon the boundary line be- tween Canada and the United States has progressed to a pont where much of the actual construction has been accomplished, it is receiving an ever growing amount of attention. As many as 50,000 persons have visited on a single occasion the beautiful site selected for this unique project. It has been well said that “horticul- ture knows no boundary lines,” and it is fitting that a garden has been chosen to symbolize the growing sentiment for world-wide peace. There is no question but that peace thas been a recognized ideal of the American people efer since this re- public was established. Since 1929, expression has been given to this ideal in the building of the Inter- national Peace Garden. This garden is being created as a living, growing, memorial to the peaceful relations enjoyed by the United States and Canada since that memorabl@ day in 1814 when the Rush-Bagot convene tion agreed that “There shall be no warships on the Great Lakes between Canada and the United States and the land boundary shall have neither fortress, soldier, nor guns.” In 1929, Henry J. Moore of Canada conceived and presented the idea of the International Peace Garden to the National Association of Garden- ers, which undertook its sponsorship. Three years later, this association re- linquished its authority in favor of a board of international directors, made up of five citizens of ‘the United States and four citizens of Canada. The voting membership includes rep- resentatives of the state of North Da- kota, the Province of Manitoba, the National Association of Gardeners, a a Pt Established on the international boundary in the Turtle mountains of North Dakota and Manitoba, the International Peace Garden, symbol of more than 100 years of good will existing between the United States and Canada, gradually takes form under the hands of its sponsors and the various, government agencies of the two nations. The landscape plen, pictured above, was drawn by Hugh Vincent Feehan. and the Manitoba Associated Boards of Trade. The Selection of a Site The location finally, chosen for the garden is in the Turtle Mountains section between Boissevain, Manitoba and Dunseith, N. D. It is at a point midway between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and only thirty miles from the geographic .centre of the North American continent, which is at Rugby, N. D.

He is Selby Maxwell, instructor in! meteorology who has been doing re- search work in a laboratory at North- western university, Evanston, Ill. | After three years’ work, Maxwell said he has evolved a “principle of astronomical computation of the weather which he calls “forecasting by astronomy.” He has invented « “magnetometer” to aid him in his computations. “You can predict the world’s weath-! er for two years in advance with the same ease that you might predict a storm for tomorrow,” he asserted. Last August, he said, he knew there would be ® major storm in the north- eastern United States in mid-Novem- ber. In October he made 12 charts of the storm’s course, and placed a blueprint of the storm in the hands of many weather men and his friends. It called for a start on Nov. 11, and on that date he began driving east- ward from Chicago, It rained hard at first. At Niagara Falls on Nov. 13 he noted how heavy winds had blown back the water of Lake Erie, drying up the falls. Then he hit an ice storm in upper New York state, went over to the Atlantic coast in New England and drove southward along the coast as heavy gales swept the seaboard last week-end, thus confirming the charted course he had predicted. Catholics to Fight Right-to-Die’ Move London, Nov. 27.—(7)—A group of British Catholics countered the “right to die” movement Tuesday by opening @ national campaign against “mercy killings.” Lord Moynihan, a leading British surgeon, had recently announced plans for a program to establish a legal regiht for persons suffering from iri- curable disease to die. Leaders of the “anti-mercy killing” movement urged Catholics of Great Britain to oppose this program. . Lions to Add to Roar of Battle (Copyright 1935, by NEA Service, Inc.)
