MANY CHANGES
alter CAMP I'll
Painting and General Cleanup
Completed; Plans Set for
Open House, May 80.

The camp area of CCC Company I'll,
on the Ely-Buyck trail has undergone
general house cleaning during the
past two weeks. Many improvements
have been made, according to Paul H.

blue trim.
Clothes lines have been strung up,
east of the hospital, to facilitate the
airing of all blankets daily.
A new baseball diamond has been
laid out north of barracks No. 8.
Thirty men volunteered to move the
woodpile, using four trucks and an
abundance of enthusiasm, completed
the job in one and one-half hours,
Thursday night after supper.
On the following night, Paul Kertz-
man, operating the Forestry tractor and
bulldozer, pushed over the trees in the
outfield, while other eager athletes
trimmed off the branches and roots
moved the disable fuel to the woodpile
and burned the rest in approved for
estry style.
M. j. Valentine, La CroiX district
ranger, and Mr. Shaw, camp superin-
tendent, were on hand to give official
sanction to the removal of the trees
on the area. The bulldozer will next
be used to level the infield and as much
of the outfield as the supply of available
soil will permit
The grease trap was uncovered and a
retaining wall of concrete has been
built to permit daily inspection AND
cleaning.
A new incinerator is being built
north of the ball diamond.
A new subsistence storeroom is in the
process of construction.
The library is undergoing change

reading room, with the titles of al
| books visible and at a convenient
height.

Program Arranged by
American Legion for
Memorial Day Rites
Judge Mark Nolan Speaker
at Ceremony to Honor
Soldier Dead.
NEW SITE FOR RITES
Parade From Community
Center to Proceed to
Whiteside Park.

Arrangements have been completed
for Memorial services to fittingly honor
our soldier dead on Monday, beginning
with march from the Community
Center to WhiteSide Park where SER
vices will be conducted.
The program will be in charge of
committees named by the Frank Lozar
Post Of the American Legion which or
ganization has yearly honored its de-
parted comrades in a similar manner.
Last year when the time came at $50
to start the parade to the cemetery, the
procession was forced to discontinue
owing to rain and the program was
transferred to the Washington audi
forum but not before the Ely NUM-
cipal Band and those in the line were
drenched. As a consequence only a
small attendance participated in the
program at the auditorium and lis
tened to the Hon. William j. Archer,
the speaker of the day.
Should rain be in the offing for the
memorial services this year, the parade
scheduled for $50 will not get started
but the auditorium in the Community
Center will be utilized in which to hold
the exercises. AS the lineup for the
parade to the park forms at the Com
munity Center there will be no danger
of getting drenched before safe haven
can be reached as was the case last
year.
The program as arranged at WhiteSide
Park will be given in an outdoor setting
with the tomb of the unknown soldier
in the foreground and crosses, row on
row"-a typical memorial scene. The
exercises open with the parade formed
at the Community Center at $50 and
the march to the park.
The Rev. E. A. Heino will pronounce
the invocation after which selection
is to follow by the American Legion
Auxiliary glee club.
The roll of departed comrades will be
made by Commander Harold Dillon of
the Frank Lozar Post of the American
Legion. A wreath will then be placed
on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier by
Gold Star Mothers and Nearer My
God to Thee" rendered by the American
Legion Drum & Bugle Corps.
Another selection by the Glee Club
precedes the memorial address by the
Hon. Mark Nolan, judge of the district
court in the Eleventh Judicial District.
1t is unnecessary to state that his adj
dress will be one of the highlights of
the day. Judge Nolan is recognized as
a speaker of Importance and his ad-
dresses are being sought for on oc-
casions of this kind. The Legion post
is fortunate in having secured him and
the people of the city are fortunate in
being able to hear him.
Following the benediction by the Rev.
Heino the Star Spangled Banner" will
be played by the Ely Municipal Band.
The Salute to the Dead by the firing
squad and TAPS" by the Drum & Bugle
Corps will close the ceremonies at the
park.
As we said before, should the day be

 New York, April 15-William Mo- Chesney Martin, newly nominated for chairman of the Board of Governors of the New York Stock Exchange at the age of 31, goes to school in his spare time to increase his knowledge of banking, economics and finance.
 There's none of your stodgy, holier- than thou brokers attitude with young MT. Martin, either. T wanted to get both viewpoints" he told the writer, "so I studied at Columbia under H. Parker Willis and at New School for Social Re- search under E. w. Kemmerer, Walton Hale Hamilton and Jerome Frank"
 The chances are twenty to one that Martin will be elected on May 9th to the chairmanship of the New York Stock Exchange, one of the highest financial positions in the world. But is he complacent? T must have upwards of thirty credits at Columbia" he said. If time per- mits, I'll continue my studies"
 That should be something for the die-hards in Wall Street to con- template their chairman Of the Stock Exchange going to college.
 Martin is about 5 feet, 10 inches, athletic in appearance and unatfect- ed in demeanor. His dress is simple and his answers direct. A partner in the brokerage house of A. G. Ed. wards & Sons at the age Of %, ana nominee for chairman of the board of the New York Stock Ex- change at 31, he is still very much the young-man- -out-o college Just a-few-years. His parting remark to the writer was "Be kind to me m your story, won't you?"
 A big, crammed, double book case is a feature of his bachelor quarters at the Yale Club. Best Plays o1 '35 and '36 figure in the collection. ;.
 At Yale he was picture editor or the "Yale Daily News" for 3 years and was seeded third man on the varsity tennis team. When he went to St. Louis to enter the bank exa- mination department of the Fed eral Reserve Bank, Of which ms father had been chief. executive since 1914, young Martin continued to play tennis in and around St. Louis and became secretary treas urer of the St. Louis District Tennis Association.
 Graduated from Yale with an A. B. in 1928, he took job in the St: Louis Federal Reserve Bank ana studied law at the Benton School of Law at night. He did not take the bar exams, however.
 In 1929, he was appointed head of the statistical department Of the St. Louis brokerage, A. G. Edwards and Sons. Two years later he be- came a full-fledged partner. The New York Stock Exchange ad- mitted him to membership on June 18, 1881.

 Hauer CAD Schott, president Of the Chase Foremen's Club, was elected president of the Industrial Foremen's Club, succeeding James A. Burns, Wesley Leavenworth was chosen vice-president and Arthur l.. Purinton was reelected secretary and treasurer.
 Professor Emerson remarked that predicting the turn of European events is hopeless task, inasmuch as only one man, Hitler, has falrly clear program and knows what he wants, although his timing depends on situations in other European countries. Germany, he said, is very strong but her army numbers about 1 ,250, ,OOO as against 1,800,000 men in Czechoslovakia.
 There will not be war until the balance of forces reaches an almost eve nlevel, he predicted, but added that this condition is assuming shape with various nations of the anti Communist group, Italy. Ger. many and Japan, lining up against lpowers likely to oppose them.
