On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

In the judgement of the
state conservation department,
Amendment No. 1, (the land
exchange amendment) on this
falls ballot, which can be seen
in another place in this paper,
is a thoroughly non-political
and constructive measure that
would be helpful in carrying
out a comprehensive conserva-
ton program and in reducing
the cost of administering state
lands. However, the amend.
ment will fail of passage unless
the majority of the voters get
out and vote. A failure to vote
on the amendment is counted
as being opposed.

Ely Statistics, Winton
Water Main Projects
Win WPA Approval
Complete Index of Births
and Deaths Constitute
Ely Project.
ELY PROJECT is $2,2S9
Winton Allowed $10,730 for
Installation of Water
Mains, Hydrants.

Congressman John T. Bernard sends
us word that the President has deSig-
mated the Works Progress Administra-
ton projects for the 9Th Congressional
District of Minnesota of which one pro-
ject for the City of Ely and one for the
Village of Winton are acceptable for
inclusion in the program.
The projects are now eligible for OPP
Grafton at the discretion of the State
WPA administrator. His decision will
be governed largely by availability of
funds, the presence of certified relief
labor of the types and skills required
and other considerations that may be
important in the state or locality &C
cording to Congressman Bernard.
An allotment of S2,288 has been in
Guided in the program for the City of
Ely to prepare an alphabetical index Of
birth and death records for the Office
of the City Clerk. A completed index
will be maintained by the sponsor after
it's completion and will be kept up to
date, a record of vast Importance to the
city and copies of birth records and
certificates of death are frequently
called for by individuals for legal pur-
poses.
In making these records no regularly
employed personnel will be displaced.
This is not normal activity of the
sponsor, the City of Ely. 1t is to be
hoped that funds will be available soon
to carry out the program and furnish
the city with an adequate record of
births and deaths.
The Miner has called attention to
this matter several times heretofore
when questions arose as to the date of
a birth or a death. Years ago, no
adequate records were kept and the
doctors became a legal necessity at
births and report to the state board
of health had to be made. The pro-
posed record will prove of vast benefit
Allotment of S1073O has been in
Guided for the Village of Winton for
the purpose of installing water mains
and hydrants throughout the village,
and to perform incidental and ap-
purtenant work in connection there
with.
No taxes or assessments will be levied
to cover the amount of federal funds
expended on this project which has
been specifically approved. AS in the
case of the records of births and deaths
for the city of Ely, the Winton project
is crying necessity and it is hoped
that the allotment will become avail
able at the shortest possible moment
and work begun to furnish Winton with
water for fire protection and also for
domestic use.

A. CHARLES STEWART is
SEEKING SEAT IN HOUSE
Change Is Needed To Save PeO-
pie From Disaster, He Says

Declaring that there is imperative
need for a change of management at
Washington in order to save the peo-
pie from servility and disaster, A.
Charles Stewart, of Frostburg, pres
ident of the AlIegany County Board of
Commissioners, today made formal
announcement of his candidacy for the
Republican nomination for Sixth Dis
trict United States Representative.
Counties Canvassed
Stewart took the step after care
full canvass of all the five counties of
the district had disclosed no other as
pirants for the nomination and a gen
eral desire to unite behind one candi-
date and thus avoid primary fight.
The counties in the district include
Allegany, Garrett, Washington, Fred
erick and Montgomery.
Liberty Endangered
"There are pressing needs why the
people should have change at Wash
ington," Stewart stated. "The rights
and liberties of citizens are endang-
cred today as never before in the his
tory of the nation as the result of the
persistent effort of the New Deal to
concentrate more and more power in
the hands of the executive, to render
impotent the coordinate judicial and
legislative branches of the govern
ment and to enslave the people in reg
imentation."
Mr.. Stewart bases his qualifications
for the seat in the National House of
Representative on a long record of
service to his people in many capaci-
ties. He has served fifteen years as a
member of the Allegany County Board
of Commissioners. He is son of
sturdy Scotch parents and was born IN
Frostburg. He served as mayor, hav-
ing been elected without opposition.
During the World War he was Red
Cross chairman in his district. He has
served as president of the Frostburg
Business Mems Bureau and the Frost
burg Rotary Club. He is active in fra
ternal circles and a member of the
Methodist church.

So SCHOOLS VISITED IN
PRE-SCHOOL ROUND-UPS
3I7 Children Were Immune To
Smallpox Or Had Been
Vaccinated

The summer roundup of pre-school
children conducted by the Health De-
partment the first two weeks in June
had very satisfactory results, accord
ing to DR.. H. R. DuPuy, health officer.
Sixty-nine schools were visited.
These schools anticipate a total of
SOB children to enter the first grade
next year. Of this number, 317 either
were already immune to smallpox or
were vaccinated at the time of the
visits. One hundred ninety-nine of
them were either immune to diph-
liberia or were immunized during the
roundup. This means that 500 of
the first graders for next year are
already immune to smallpox and 1870
of them are immune to diphtheria.
A small number of children under
pre-school age were immunized and a
few school children who had not re-
ceived these treatments were taken
care of. During the two weeks
total of 301 vaccinations and POP in
iections of toxoid were given by the
Health Department.
