V LCftAlf HASSETT The latt few days of the Jam boree seemed to go with light ning rapidity. The trading per iods seemed to get shorter and shorter as the days progressed. ' The British show was one night, the American show the next, and Region XTs enter tainments the next. Mixed into these were campfires and swims, meetings with friends of other nations and meals. The British show was com bined with the Danish, Dutch, and Scandinavian. That night we saw dances of many of the Brit ish possessions; the story of how Holland pressed back the sea; plus many, pieces of national handiworks, folk dances, and legends. American Show The next night was the Amer ican show. The Indians of the plains danced, the American Bullwhips cracked, and the square dancers swirled. Our card section was one of the high lights o fthe Jamboree. Colored cards depicted a giant, plumed Indian Chief's head and a gi gantic United State shield. Thursday found Region XI busy preparing a "Brunch" of cantaloupe and ice cream for the top dignitaries of every nation represented at the jamboree. That afternoon the Northwest In dian "Potlach" was held for the scouts of these nations. Guests were seated in a huge U with the fires at the open end. As the dances began cedar plates and spoons split from native Ore gon cedar were passed with Chi nook salmon which had been cooked over the fires after being filleted and spread on forked branches of trees. After the dances Indian wres tling and tug-o-wars were held among scouts from all nations. As the festivities ended -Indian gifts were given to all the guests.
