NATIONWIDE SEAL SALE
BEGINS ON THANKSGIVING
Prompt and Generous Buying Of
the Little Stickers is Urged

Thanksgiving Day, as usual, will
mark the opening of the nationwide
sale of the Christmas seals through
which much of the tuberculosis work
in this country is financed. The al
lotment for this State will be dis
tributed through the Maryland Tuber-
culosis Association. The sale will con-
tinue until the close of the Christmas
season.
Urging prompt and generous buying
of the little stickers, DR.. R. H. Riley,
Director of the State Department of
Health, said: "Put tuberculosis seals
as Item Number 1, Important at the
head of your Christmas shopping list.
Ruy early and often-and then buy
some more. You can have great salts
faction in the investment because
every seal you buy helps provide
ammunition for the fight against this
disease that hits hardest at young
people and at older ones in the prime
of life. 1t is significant that special
emphasis is laid in the design for this
years seal, with its tiny picture of a
family group, on the protection of the
home from tuberculosis.
every part of the State, and every
age group-young and old-benefit
from the sale of the little seals. Some
of the capital derived from your in
vestment in the seals is used for the
chest clinics held in the counties under
the joint direction of the State De-
partment of Health and the Maryland
tuberculosis Association. Since the
partnership was started fifteen years
ago, over $4,000 persons-men,
women, and children-have had the
benefit of chest examinations by ply
sicians with special experience in this
field, and of advice and after care in
sanatoria or in their own homes.
"Some of the money derived from
the sale of the Christmas seals is used
for the purchase of portable x-ray out
fits and other equipment that enable
the doctors to detect the presence of
the disease before irreparable damage
has been done. Some Of it is used for
educational purposes, for training doc
tors and nurses in the treatment and
care of those exposed to the disease
or suffering from it. The summer
work at Miracle House, where chill
dren who have been in contact with
tuberculosis are cared for, and built
up so that they can resist the disease
is also made possible through the sale
of the seals.
Underlying the whole plan of the
campaign against tuberculosis is the
idea of prevention, of checking the
disease at its source, Of discovering
its presence when the possibility OF
cure or complete control is greatest.
You will be helping to accomplish
these things when you invest in the
seals. The price of the seals-only
a penny apiece-makes it possible Tor
every body to help.
so let's all do our part to make
this the best seal sale we have ever
had"

MANY STAY AT
TOURIST PARK
Stone Fireplaces and Tables
Added to Site Through
NYA Project.

Two hundred and sixty people signed
the register at the tourist park during
June and the first three weeks in July.
Since the average party is composed of
four persons, those signing represent
well over thousand persons.
About 200 of the parties registering
spent one or more nights at the park.
Since many who stop just for lunch
neglect to register, it is believed that at
least 1000 people have awaited them
selves of the accommodations offered
by the park during the past seven
weeks. This figure includes only out
of-town people.
Considerable improving is being done
at the park through the National Youth
Administration project now in progress.
Four stone fireplaces and one stone
table have been constructed and plans
call for three more stone tables. A
council ring of stone enclosing a stone
fireplace is just being started. A stone
kitchen will also be built. Andrew An
derson is foreman of the stone work,
with three crews employed.
The NYA project also included i'm
provement of the road intersection
south of the filtration plant, land
scaping of the plant area and of the
park area, and improvement of the
bathing area. Of these only improve
ment of the beach remains to be done.
Tourists staying at the park pay it
many compliments, according to the
caretakers. They often catch all the
fish they want right in Shagawa, and
this has been especially true during the
past week or two. Tourists from prac-

SIXTY FAIL TO
SHOW LICENSE
Police Drive Reveals IL Per
Cent of Drivers Don't Have
Licenses With Them.

Twelve per cent of the people of Ely
drive their cars without having drivers
licenses in their immediate possession
if campaign conducted here Satur-
day night by local police is any cri-
terion.
Three officers stationed at the inter-
section of Sheridan street and Second
avenue east stopped 500 cars and of
this number 60 drivers could not pro-
duce licenses, according to Chief Doug
las Nankervis. These drivers were given
police summons to appear at head
quarters by Monday morning and pro-
duce licenses. All but one submitted
his license for inspection, and this man

State law requires that drivers of
motor vehicles must have their Ii

the steering wheel and must produce
them upon demand. Drivers licenses
may be secured from Lutte Jarva, clerk
of municipal court, for fee of 35 cents.
A light and brake inspection will be
conducted within the near future, Chief
NankerviS says, in warning car drivers
that it would be better to have any de-
fects in lights or brakes attended to be-
fore the inspection.
Past inspections of this nature have
revealed that from to 10 per cent of

Ely Hands Out II to 3
Defeat to Virginia Club
Local Club Runs Up IL Lead During First Inning Here
Sunday; Local Squad Journeys Keewatn, Saturday,
International Falls, Sunday

Twelve hits and twelve runs in the
first inning-that's what the Ely city
baseball team threw in the faces of
the Virginia Rangers, here Sunday, in
downing the Queen City team, IA to 8.
Bearing down like hound dog just
jump and a half back of rabbit, the
Ely club sent II men to the plate dur
ing the first inning before the visitors
could chalk up three outs to retire the
side.
Manager Ernest Maddern's boys put
everything they had into their first
assault, for still fresh in their minds was
the II to whipping administered by
the Rangers at Virginia, July II. The
to loss at Chisholm, July 16, hadn't
improved their dispositions any. Caught
off guard, the Rangers lost their hold
on everything but their return gas
money for a time and before settling
down contributed five errors to help
Ely's cause along. Even the score
keeper got into trouble, because the
official score book is designed TO record
the hits, runs, etc., for a team during
its inning at the plate when it bats
around but once, so it was necessary to
run over into the second-inning column
to mark up the results of the second
time around in the first inning.
Virginia, near the end of the first
inning, replaced its starting pitcher,
Barone, with Kirby, second baseman.
Following the disastrous first stanza,
the game was comparatively close, with
Ely scoring two more runs in the sixth
and the visitors getting two in the
second and one in the ninth. F. Banks

government and place among the
great nations of the earth.
During the last 300 years, thousands
of other Firms have come to America
to make their homes and to enjoy the
security, opportunities and happiness
which are identified with citizenship in
a land where, more and more, human
rights are being looked upon as the
highest rights and where justice for
all is the first responsibility of public
officials and where the governed are the
governors. The Finnish people ap-
preciate these things, and sometimes it
seems that they who have come here
from other lands become more appreci-
alive citizens than many who are born
here for the reason that they can and
do make comparisons. Not that I wish
to infer that Finland now does not have
good government for I believe that
since Finland gained it's independence
after the World War, it proceeded to
establish as fine a government as there
is to be found in Europe and above all
it established an. honest government
But we must not forget that Finland is
a small country and very near indeed
to lands ruled by the swords of power
thirsty dictators who are an ever present
threat to peace and security. And

one of us here appreciate the blessings
that are ours because We are American
citizens and as it is Finnish custom

Plan Broached to Introduce
F finnish Grouse in This Area
Matt Saar, State Conservation Warden and Former Elyte
Declares Northern Minnesota Ideal for Propagation of
Giant Finnish Game Bird

A movement to interest Finnish
people of this state in the establishment
of the Metso, or Finnish grouse, in the
northern area was launched by Matt
Saari, state conservation warden, in an
address at Minneapolis, at the celebra-
ton marking the 300th anniversary of
the landing of the first Finnish colon
lists in Delaware.
Mr.. Saari, son of Henry Saari Of
White Iron, was born and reared here,
later going to Minneapolis where he Is
now with the state force of conservation
wardens.
Because of the similarity of climate
and forests of Finland and northern
Minnesota, Mr.. Saari believes that the
giant grouse, often attaining weight of
II pounds, can be made an addition to
the game birds of this area and under
scientific propagation will serve as a
lasting contribution from Finland to
northern Minnesota. His address, Sc
cured by The Miner, through the
courtesy of William F. Anderson of this
city, follows:

I believe to be beautiful idea.

Officials Suggest NelU
Dam Construction at
Prairie Portage Falls
Water Circling Ends of Old
Structure Apt to Cause
Entire WaShout.
RESORTERS ALARMED
Destruction of Dam Would
Cause Moose Lake to
Drop 10 Feet.

Something should be done immedi-
ately about the Prairie Portage dam
That was the concensus of opinion OF
the group of men making an inspection
of the site, Friday. Included in the
party were Lake county officials and
representatives of the Ely Commercial
club, U. S. forestry service and U. S
army engineers.
Water is flowing around the ends of
the dam on both the American and
Canadian side, the inspectors found
The waters of Newfound and Birch
lakes, which flow into Inlet Bay on
Eastwood lake, are two feet below the
top of the dam. The cribbing is in
danger of being washed out.
If the dam should go out, the level
of Moose lake is expected to drop from
10 to II feet, according to statements
made. Built by logging concerns years
ago, the dam has long since seen it's
best days.
Members of the inspecting COM
mittee were doubtful if repairing was
the answer to the situation. The con-
struction of a new dam was favored, if
such project could be promised. Per-
mission from Canadian authorities has
already been obtained for repairing
work on the Canadian side but not for
construction of a new dam.
The trip was made, not only for
business but for pleasure as well and
members of the party, some of whom
had never been on Eastwood before,
thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
In the boat operated by the Border
Lake Outfitters and piloted by Victor
Hill, Jr, the party left Winton, Thurs
day morning. Crossing the four-mile
portage, they continued in Wilderness
Outfitters boat, operated by Henry
Chosa to the lodge where they were
met by Thomas Murn, manager. Fol-
lowing lunch, the group made visual
survey of the lake, going down Pipe
stone bay and returning to M W. Peter
sons camp for the night. While there
they were treated to a bass and pike
dinner.
Next morning the party went to
Prairie Portage where two hours were
spent in inspecting the site.
George Myrum, George Hibbard, Jeff
Seeley and j. S. Kirk, who have lodges
on Moose lake, met the travellers at
Prairie Portage and took them by
boat to the Canadian Border Lodge
where lunch was served and the trip
home by car begun
Making the trip were William Lo-
masney, chairman of the Lake county
board of commissioners, who was in
charge; Commissioners John Degerstedt,
William Hagberg and Art Lorensen;
