NO Fatalities
FOR TWO YEARS
Ely, Cloquet and Fairmont Go
Two Years Without Traf-
fic Fatality in State.

From c. H. Zealand, director OF
Public Safety in the state of Minnesota
we learn that Ely, Cloquet and Fair
mont are in line for the award to be
made by Judge Diesen of Cloquet for
one of these cities that will go the
longest without traffic accident fatal
ity.
The award will be a silver cup and
will be known as the 'DieSen Cup
Ely, Cloquet and Fairmont are the only
cities in the Minnesota Traffic Safety
Contest that have to their credit two
years Of no fatalities.
Without action upon the part of the
public safety committees or the officials
of these three cities, they are already
entered in this contest. The winning
is matter that may be definitely pre-
dicated upon action-action to prevent
the occurrence of traffic accidents, said
Mr.. Zealand.
Chief Douglas NankerviS is chairman
and Judge Edwin Toms is secretary of
the Ely Public Safety Committee.

is a distinction in which considerable
pride can be taken that Ely and the
other cities named are eligible to con-
test for the cup. Our information is
to the effect that Fairmont has already
to its credit three years of no traffic
accident fatalities. This may be also
the fact as to Ely and Cloquet The
major consideration is, however, that
more years be added without fatalities
to successfully contend for the "Diesen
Cup"
ut would be fortunate indeed if ii
can be the fact that Judge Dieser
should not be called upon to award the
Cup for many years to come, but il
that does not prove to be the circum-
stance, it shall be expected of the pub
lie safety committees and officials Of
the two losing cities that they will &C
in due humility and contrition to the
fortunate winning city and help make
presentation of the cup"

counted, Johnny Smrekar and His
Band played selections which We're very

On This Occasion

We wish to congratulate Miss
Kathleen Lomasney, who is at
tending the University of Min
nesota, on her success in the
Northwest International swim
ming meet. That Miss Lomas-
ney deserved the congratula-
lions of her numerous friends is
attested in the fact that she
came in fourth in the 10O-mete1
breast stroke in which Anne
Govednik was the winner
closely followed by the Misses
Ruzinski and Cieslak of Vir'
ginia and Miss Lomasney. The
time by Miss Govednik was
1888. She was the only Ely
swimmer in the competition.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

Saltwater Gazette-Why is America
the worlds greatest nation? Because it
guarantees to each individual the right
to accumulate. Americans, in their de-
sire to accumulate, surpassed the rest OF
the world in developing the science OF
efficient business management. They
were able to attract money from the
rest of the world, for investment here,
before there was enough in the United
States to really count. The one thing
that made possible the attraction Of
that foreign money was profit. The
profit naturally was reinvested to make
more profit, and the cycle gave the
United States, with only seven per cent
of the worlds population, So per cent of
the telephone and telegraph facilities,
76 per cent of the automobiles, A per
cent of the radios, and so on and on.
Let S. Bayard Colgate, president OF the
Colgate Palmolive-Peat company, tell
the story as he knows it: MY great
great-grandfather William Colgate,
started in business as a poor boy. He
had no capital but he had an idea that
II YOU gave PcOPAe OCGVcI ooaP VAi0S
would pay a small service charge on
each transaction, which was your pro-
fit. He plowed most of his profits back
into the business because he knew his
boss, the consumer, would expect some
thing better each year at an even lower
cost. If he had paid out all his profits
in wages or taxes, or taken them all
for himself, our business would never
have reached its ranking position in
the world today" The company
founded by william Colgate has been
functioning 100 years. 1t employs 5000
workers-gives 5000 people a chance to
accumulate for their old age and
children. That sounds to us like a
reason for the service charge of profit.

MY BONNIE ROSE

Go plant the Astor, Glad, the Jonquil,
'CrocuS, Daffodil,
See how their radiant color blend;
your sense of beauty fill;
But when you want your garden to give
that sweet pepoSe,
Go out and plant that Queen of
Flowers-the ever glorious Rose.
Go watch the swelling of it's buds ere
1T breaks into leaf,
And when Bacteria dwarfs the growth,
Oh! what mournful grief.
For when We educate our minds up to
that grand accord,
We find its petals all unite in praise
unto our Lord.
How oft the crude uncultured mind its
beauty disregardS,
Or with ruthless cruel hand its full
development retards;
Forgetting ever that it took that wond-
rous hand Divine,
To beautify old mother earth with
such flower sublime.
Hence Rose, bow before thy beauteous,
regal grace,
If man would only give to thee thine
own exalted place;
The world would rise unto that Wond-
rous consecrated state,
Which would for ever destroy that
cruel thing called hate.
But of all the glorious Roses it has been
my lot to grow,
There's been Rose that never failed
to set my heart aglow;
She came to me in early life-a gift
from the Divine,
And Oh! praise loving God for
that little Daughter mine!-W. j. M.

BRITISH FILM OPENS
REVIVAL AT THE LITTLE
"The 80 Steps," Story Of Adven-
turous Young Man Mixed Up
With Spy Ring.


That ace Of British melocinemas,
'"The 80 Steps," Is at present open for
q revival engagement at the Little
Theater. news Of especial interest to
admirers Of the suave hand, the hui
morous FLIP and dazzling pace in
moider yarns. While 1t is by no means
q "Scarface," nor yet "Mr. Deeds" {"
this apt reel bellies the impression that
all English films are either slow, hap
hazard or historical.
Bordering somewhere between gay
fantasy and the utterly fantastic, 1.-THE
80 Steps, tells of an adventurous
young man who gets mixed up with
an international spy ring, much to
his discomfort. While attempting to
protect his country from these infa-
nous fellows he finds himself accused
of murder, his story Of the spies be-
heved by no one, his days made q
nightmare by policemen and his nights
made wild by conspirators who wish
to put him to rest gently, 6 feet under
ground. The smooth, civilized tech
nique Of this thriller has since been
studied devoutly by every director In
Hollywood.
Always on the move, forever collid-
ing with excitement or some whim
of fate, the young man role Is wittily
played by Robert Donat, assisted by
the handsome Madeline Carroll and
cast Of bit workers who brighten
every corner where they are. BY all
means arrive at the start of this one,
for its warming-up stages are impor-
tant. But do arrive. r. 3. p. Jr.

MONTGOMERY PLAYERS
PLAN FOR NEXT SEASON
One Broadway Success Has Been
Chosen, Others Being
Considered.

SOho1oSIco.
THE newly elected Board Of Cover
nors Of the Montgomery Players
at its first meeting Thursday evening,
June 18, under the gavel of the new
president, Jane Plummer Rice, out
lined plans for the playing season Of
1867.
Four regular productions are sched-
uled, and the dates of the showings
at Leland Junior High School Audi
torium were set for October II, De-
cember S, February 20 and April IL.
As usual, one or more of the plays
probably will be repeated for church
or charitable organizations in the
county and the District.
The board unanimously agreed
upon one Of the plays to be presented,
"Laburnum Grove" the J. B. Priestly
comedy, in which the English actor,
Edmund Gwenn, starred in the Broad
way production in 1885, and which
Washington theatergoers saw at the
National under the auspices of the
Theater Guild and the American
Theater Society.
The Play-reading Committee, head
ed by Doris Dewey Day, presented
tentative recommendations on half a
dozen other plays, including several
recent Broadway successes, and final
action on three of them, to round out
the program, will be taken at the
next board meeting in July. One,
post Road" which ran 210 perform
ances at the Masque in New York in
l934-5, was tentatively selected, but
Is subject to further study.

the players, will head the Committee

duplicated in Hollywood before. AS In
other spheres of life. few people out
there are doing precisely what they
would like to do. For instance: Joan
Crawford stated last Fall that she
would like to do a costume picture
that she was tired of being modern"
The result was "The Gorgeous Hus-
sey," which she has just completed
for M-G-M. James Cagney wanted
to do something different and the
outcome on that wasn't quite SO cheer
full. Bob Montgomery got Trouble
for Two" when he asked to be re-
Ieved from the role of a foppish
young tipster. And when Bette Da-
Wis rebelled against being clothes
horse, R-K-O widsely plunked her in
"Of Human Bondage"
Some of the time the wisdom shown
on the part of these players has been
profound-and sometimes quite the
opposite.
1t remains to be seen which way
the kind will blow in the case of Mr..
March. Personally We think he can
be equally good either in Bothwell's s
boots or as the hero Of Three Men
on a Horse" After all he Is first,
foremost and always an actor. And as
such he shouldn't bubble.
