Dickinson, former Secretary of War and now national president of the league. "This project is not sectional, first because this wilderness is truly na- tional in its present and future use, and, secondly, because policies de- termined here will affect the public domain in all America," Judge Dickin- son declared. The region to be included in the area consists of the present Superior Na- tional Forest, in Minnesota, and the Quetico Provincial park, across the line in Ontario, with a total of approx- imately 1,500 square miles of forest wilderness containing more than 3,500 lakes, most of them connected into a vast network of waterways which has made of this country the greatest canoeing center in America, League officials said.

Wilmette Artists Speakers at Home and Garden Club The Home and Garden club met last Monday at the home of Mrs. Theodore Moritz, 226 Warwick road, Kenilworth, Although it is so near Christmas there was a good attendance and those who were there enjoyed one of the most unique programs the club ever has had. It was interesting to find such talent as that of the two artists who pre- sented the program, Mrs. Graham Tay- lor and Mrs. Gordon Wilson, both of Wilmette. Both are artists well known in the profession and much of their work is done in Gloucester, Mass. with the artist colony there. They brought with them on Mon- day, a display of paintings of gardens along the north shore, one picture of especial beauty being a corner in the Rosenwald garden at Lake Forest by Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. Wilson pointed out in her talk that the gardener planned and made her pictures in the garden and that necessarily they were tem- porary, passing away with the season, but that the artist was able to perpetu- ate this vision in painting. Mrs. Taylor's work is more conven- tional in its type. She takes the gar- dener's own flowers and puts them into some conventional design on a plaque to be hung in the home after the gar- den is gone. At the tea which followed the pro- gram Mrs, John Roberts and Mrs. ¥. H. Newport poured. During a brief business meeting it was voted that the club assist in the excellent work done by Mrs. Joseph Joyce and her com- mittee at Great Lakes and help fami- lies of some of the war veterans sta- tioned there, Walter Marx, son of Mr. and M Walter Marx, 522 Essex road.
