The anniversary will be observed next year, probably in May or June, and a part of the ofHcJal program, here is a plan to aehd as-a gift to America some monument bthat will probably be erected on The Rocks, a site in what is now the city of Wilmington, where the early pioneers first landed.,.; ; Costs of the proposed monument "will be met by popular subscrip tion. Planned by Minuit In February, 1637, Just three hun dred years ago, Peter Minuit, well known as a founder of the New Amsterdam colony, on Manhattan island, came up from Holland to Stockholm to confer with the Chan cellor, Axel Oxenstierna, acting re gent during the minority of Queen Christina, and laid before the coun cil of state a plan for colonization that led to concrete results. Earlier efforts to found trading companies had failed. Even now there was no popular interest. r TEhe population of a scant million 'enjoyed religious freedom, and the " wave of mercantilism sweeping up from "the continent was adding ma terial prosperity to the country, now '""the recognized military power of 'Europe following the Thirty Years war. There was no impelling need to emigrate. J Peter Minuit succeeded, and some months later, in November, 1637, he was the leader of the expedition that sailed from Gothenburg in the two Dutch vessels, Kalmar Nyckel and Fogel Grip. This handful of colonists did not reach the Delaware until March of the following year. Fort Krtotina was so named by Peter Minuit in honor of the Swed ish queen. Friendly With Indians. 5 Gradually on both sides of the Delaware there sprang up forts or trading centers with nomenclature distinctly identifying the little groups of Swedes or Finns that came as additions to this coloniza tion venture. The relations with the Indians were friendly. Gradually the Swedes bought out the Dutch interests and by 1643 the .first Swedish Governor, Johan Printz, had arrived. Old Swedes Church, built in 1698, Is still stand ing. In less than two decades, how ever, the colony had been absorbed by the Dutch and in 1664 it passed into the control of the English. Re inforcements from the mother coun try had been too slow and uncertain. It was not until two centuries later that the real emigration from Sweden to America began. By the time of the 1880's it had reached such proportions that the welfare of the mother country seemed threatened. The early pioneering colonists of 1637 set out from a sparsely settled homeland with a population of only one million. To day there are a million and a half Americans of Swedish ancestry. New England Smithy of 1776 Still in Operation North Andover, Mass. The town smithy here, reputedly the oldest in New England, still stands today -where it stood 160 years ago, a relic of the horse and buggy days. And, despite the motorization of delivery and farm equipment there remain, Blacksmith Samuel Lawes said, enough horses to provide the means of a livelihood. The shop, which Lawes now op erates himself, once employed 17 men. Until a few years ago it was owned by Charles Wilcox, one of the oldest blacksmiths in the coun try when he retired in his eighty sixth years. One of the most notable changes since the days horse shoeing was a thriving . business is, Lawes said, that .today instead of shoeing most of the horses in his shop he makes the shoes there and carries them around to farms where the shoeing is done on the premises. Among exhibits remaining in the shop art- the split irons for . the cloven hoofs of oxen, brown and faded posters advertising spavin .-and colic cures, , and dust coated, time stained carriage wheels.
