MAY DAY-CHILD HEALTH DAY.

May Day is children's Day. 1t is a
day for inventory and stock taking of
the health accomplishments of the
year gone by, day for emphasizing
and stressing health work needed in
the home, school and community
To the home May Day makes an
urgent and forceful appeal To send
to school child physically and men
tally fit is the homes best contribu-
ton to the school health program.
Parent and family physician should
work together to this end and try to
prevent disease rather than to cure it.
The school today is one of the most
effective agencies in promoting child
health. The schools in Ely are carry
ing on comprehensive health pro-
gram. Miss May Meenahan, the school
nurse, visits every morning the three
largest grade buildings, granting or
refusing permits to pupils returning
after illness and calls on all sick school
children in their homes. She weighs
and notes the heights of all pupils
through the sixth grade once month,
and those of the seventh and eighth
grades twice year. The high school
pupils are weighed and measured
through the Physical Training De-
partment whose work we are all fa-
miliar with. Miss Meenahan gives in
struction in personal hygiene, home
nursing and child care to eight grade
girls. Classroom teachers teach per-
sonal hygiene to the elementary and
intermediate classes. A large percent
age of the school enrolment has been
protected from diptheria through tox-

S|bLEY ACCIDENT
HITS HARD BLOW.

Wednesday morning early the main
shaft on the Sibley engine snapped in
two and raised considerable havoc with
the machinery. George Baribeau, who
was in charge of the engine heard the
snap of the break and at once applied
the brakes. This prompt action on
the part of Mr.. Baribeau saved untold
damages in the shaft where the heav-
lily loaded skips were being hoisted.
The crew of $50 men were informed
that they had vacation until the
damages could be repaired, matter
of six weeks or more. Superintendent
Trezona made the statement that the
repairs would be made as soon as pos
sible. The main shaft of the hoisting
engines is a mammoth piece of steel,
sixteen inches or more in diameter
and is no small matter to make and
install
In the meantime some of the men
will receive work about the property
but the larger portion will be idle.
The accident is very unfortunate
one both for the mine and the men.

ROTARY AIMS ENTERTAIN
CLUB WEDNESDAY EVENING.

wednesday evenings meeting of the
Rotary Club was Ladies Night and re-
suited in one of the most pleasant
evenings spent by the club since or
ganization. The ladies had full charge.
Dinner was served to about sixty-five
Rotarians and their AIMS and guests
of the Club. No business was trans
acted with the exception of electing
Russell Browne as the official dele
gate to attend the International Con-
ventiop at Minneapolis in June.
The ladies had prepared a surprise
program in the shape of broadcast
station EATS, Community Center, Ely,
Minnesota, and sketches presented
were novel and received with the
greatest of pleasure. So well was the
station put on the air that static,
squeals and whistles proceeded each
number in true radio manner.
Rotary Ann Schaefer did the an
nouncing and Rotary Ann Alden was
at the machine getting the dials prop
erly dialed. Rotary AIMS Brownell,
Strachan, Ayres, Lockhart, Laing,
Parker, Haynes, Trezona, and others
appeared on the stage and broadcast
their song and sketch offerings to the
assembled multitude. The songs and
sketches were all written, words and
music, by some member of the cast.
Rotary Ann Strachan completed the
program with several solo numbers.
The floor was cleared and dancing
to the music of the Five Aces Orches-
ira was INDUCED in until eleven O'Clock.
During the evening the ladies dis
tributed flowers, paper hats and favors
among the dancers "a good time
was had by all".

and notifies the parents that they may
have these defects corrected during
the summer vacation. With the writ

dentist, Dr. Rolando, takes care of the
children's teeth. During the coming
week the schools will show a Health
Reel to the upper classes. A Health
play Is scheduled for an eighth grade
Assembly Period and Miss Tripp and
Miss Meyers will conduct posture con-

The Mothers Club sponsors two
Child Clinics yearly-spring and fall
Members of the Club assist the Child
Specialist and nurses, who give their
services gratis, in taking care of the
children to be examined. This is a
splendid piece of health work, to
which, through the purchase of Xmas
seals, many individuals and numerous
organizations of the city contribute.
The health programs of the Scouts
are outstanding and far-reaching in
the community. What extraordinary
advantages the Ely youth enjoys in

the state. Here more than anywhere
else will its members have the oppor-
tunity of studying and observing for
eStry conditions at first hand. Here
too the Club has the added advantage
of securing help and advice from the
Federal forestry staff.
regular course in forestry supple
mented with field trips will be under
taken. The club has under it's care a
nursery plot of approximately 1000
two year old pine seedlings. These
young trees are being taken care of
and at some date in the near future
will be used for reforestation purposes.
On Wednesday,, in observance of
Forestry Week, Ray Harmon spoke to
the club on fire control methods in the
forest and by means of maps and
charts showed graphically how fires
are spotted by the lookout triangula-
ton method. Mr. Harmon has gener-
ously promised his support in the flu
ture and will be called upon later for
field instruction in tree indentifica-
ton and timber cruising.
The membership OF the club will be
purposely kept limited until it is for
mally established. New members must
hand in their written applications
which will be voted on by the charter
members. 1t is hoped in this way to
have the group composed only of those
who are really interested in forestry.
Eligibility of applicants will be based
on general character, scholarship and
outdoor interests
The officers for the coming year are:
President-Urho Kernanen Vice Pres
ident-Waino Maxi Secretary and
Treasurer-Harry Newgord.

PLANNING FAR AHEAD
SAVES HIGHWAY FUNDS.

The Minnesota Highway department
will receive bids May on 100000 feet
of snow fence and $4,000 steel posts.
With fence previously purchased, this
will give the department 100000 feet,
or about SIS miles of protection
against winter drifts. The new fence
will be distributed in all sections of
the state and will give added protec-
ton to trunk highways in st. Louis
and all other counties in the state.
Outside of few days after the
heavy snow storms in December and
April, Minnesota trunk highways were
kept nearly 100 per cent open the past
winter In both months the snow fall
broke all records in many localities,
but a majority of the routes we're
opened in 48 hours. Others, however
took longer The fact that snow
fences had to be taken down in
March, to permit farmers to work in
fields, added to the difficulty in April,
and to make it worse, many roads
were so soft that plows had difficulty
in getting through.
The added snow fence is expected
to be help in keeping the roads open
next winter, and opening the roads
will be further expedited by new
plan of using trucks instead of team
patrols on all the heavily travelled
roads and having snow plows which
can be quickly attached to each of the
truck units. The team drawn graders
were effective only in removing light
snow, and the heavier plows, stationed
at central points, could not always
reach all parts Of the district
promptly.
BY placing orders for snow fence
in the spring, Commissioner c. M,
Babcock is able to get lower prices
than if he waited until fall. The bid
derS take less risk than if they were
to manufacture the fence before they
received their contracts, therefore they
can bid on a smaller margin of profit.
This years purchase is only half as
much as was bought last year, as the
department is getting near the point
where it will have all the snow fence
it can use economically. AS roads are
being graded to standard width and
narrow cuts being eliminated, the need
of snow fence will be slightly less in
stead of increasing.
