terest in the birds of this community

Miss Rose Schmidt of the 9th Grade,
Washington School under whose direc-
ton the Audubon Societies were organ
lied in Ely, is directly responsible for

Bird House Building and Poster Con-
tests have become very popular
throughout the country says Dean Sig
Olson of the Ely Junior College, "and
everywhere have been directly instru-
mental not only in bringing new birds
into town, but in protecting them.
When boys build houses for birds, they
do not care to shoot them and when
people in general begin thinking about
them, they begin to enjoy and en-
courage them. Ely does not have as
many birds as it should and this con-
test should be the beginning of move
ment to make our city attractive to
them"

Again comes the news from
state highway authorities that
this, that and the other high
ways will be paved and black
topped this summer. Among
others is 1863 from Tower to Vir-
GINA which is slated for paving
so the committee was told. We
hope so and that this will
not go the way of the promise
to pave No. l between here and
Tower which has been made
every year for the past five
years. A committee from Vir-
ginia was told of the paving
of 1863 Sin order to open up
a road to the vacation area"
and we in Ely hope that the
pavement will be continued to
this city to get people "into''
the vacation area and also to
keep the promises made us.
