spokesman for the Ely delegation and
while their protests were registered on
the opening of tn season in general, the
main part of the protest was against
the opening of areas within the game
reserves of the Superior National Forest
as proposed.
The proposition is to open a five-mile
strip each side of the Ely-Finland road
and the Ely-Buyck Trail. An action OF
this kind would nullify the game refuge
idea, is the contention of the Ely group
and their attitude was concurred in by
a large number Of the delegates present
They contend that there is enough
hunting territory now open and that
to open the game refuge as proposed
would cut into the breeding and safety
grounds of deer and eventually would
mean the extinction of these animals
According to the resolutions passed
the courts will be asked to issue an in
junction against the opening. What
the outcome will be is hard to deter
mine. This order will needs be issued
at once as arrangements are going for
ward to open the season and supplies
are being prepared.
The regular season is next year and
sportsmen contend that to open the
season this year will mean poor hunt
ing this season and likewise next
season. There are those who contend
that short open season should be had
each year but this contention is
countered by the statement of the war
dens that there is scarcity of deer
and abundant feed

Finders Not Always
Keepers, Man Learns,

Candy = Finders keepers; losers
weepers," decided a farmer residing
west OF here when he saw a wad of
bills drop to the floor in local store,
but within short time he learned that
finders" are not always keepers" He
picked up the money and slipped it into
his pocket, unobserved- thought. A
clerk in the store, however, had seen
Frank Willard, customer, drop the
money and had also seen the other man
pick 1t up. When Mr.. Willard asked
him to return the bills he said he had
spent all but ten dollars which he re-
turned. The remaining fifteen dollars
were obtained later by a policeman.

durability. In this way, they are al
lowed to discriminate between homes in
much the same way as they can now
choose between automobiles"
1t was pointed out that the principle
of triple insulated construction may be
used on almost any architectural style
of dwelling.
Triple insulation, Mr. McMahan ex-
planned, is the term used to define a
conventional method of construction
which protects a house against fire,
wear and weather, through the use OF
laboratory developed materials. The
first point in triple insulation is the use
of asbestos clapboard or siding shingles
on the sidewalks, and asbestos shingles
on the roof. Or if desired, stucco, stone
or brick veneer may be used on the out
side walls. Any of these materials gives
the house durable, fireproof exterior
covering from foundation to rooftop.
The second step is the complete in
sulation of all living quarters with four
inch thick bats of rock wool home in
sulation. This protects the house against
the weather, making it warmer in win
ter, with as much as 80 per cent saving
on fuel bills and cooler on the hottest
summer days.
The third important step in this
modern method of construction is the
use of special steel wire mesh as a
base for all interior plaster Scientific
tests have demonstrated that this
plaster base reduces cracking to a
minimum and practically eliminates
the danger of falling plaster.

CHANCE FOR
BOYS In Ccc
Youths Needed to Fill Places of
Those Dropped on Account
of Age Limit.

Quotas for the CCC camps in Min
nesota are below normal and IN
employed boys between the ages of II
and "a years can secure profitable en-
ployment in emergency conservation
work, Herman C. Wenzel, commissioner
of conservation, announced.
Commissioner Wenzel stated that the
authorized enrolment at each Civilian
Conservation Corps camp is 167 youths,
but at the present time this enrolment
averages less than 100 enrolleeS per
camp.
Beginning October 1, all CCC en-
rollees who are "a years old or more
must be dropped because of new federal
regulations. 1t is not necessary for
youths to come from families who are
on relief in order to become CCC men,
berS.
Minnesota desires to take every pos
sible advantage of the valuable service
being rendered conservation by the
CCC," Mr.. Wenzel said. Therefore, it
is important that camps be manned to
full capacity as early as possible. The
opportunity IS here for youths to build
themselves up physically and mentally,
while at the same time rendering SER
vice to community, state and nation"
Applications for entrance into the
Civilian Conservation Corps are being
accepted by the local relief officials, &C
cording to advices received from Walter
Either in charge of the district relief
Office at Virginia.
Examinations for prospective enrollees
will be held some time between now
and October Is. No limit has been set
on the number of youths that can be
accepted for entrance into the CCC
ranks.
According to advices given out by the
Office, a youth must be between the
ages of II and 25; a relief client or
classified as border line relief case;
in good health and of good moral char
acter.
Upon entrance into the corps, youth
is supplied with clothes, room and board
and given a salary of $50 per month.
He also receives vocational training
while in camp.
