few adventurous scars on his face
Thursday but otherwise escaped I'M
scathed in a backyard exploring trip at
the G. w. Rice home Wednesday after
noon.
His parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Eveno-
check, Ely, brought him along when
they came to visit the Rices. Within a
few minutes after arriving, Michael
started exploring the backyard. With
him was Mary Ann Zgonc, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. M. Zgonc, also of Ely.
''The two children managed to lift
the cover from the well and Michael
with his flare for adventure, leaned toe
far over the rim. He fell about 10 feet
to the bottom of the valve hole MOI
knowing that it was driven well anc

Correction.

Last week on the information secured
by The Miner from what 1t thought
was reliable sources, we stated that "the
car in which j. r. Palmer and Mrs.
Steve Moravitz, mother of the bride,
and children were riding, coming into
town from the reception rendered Mr..
and Mrs. John Cheleznik at the Chelez-
mix farm on highway 81, figured in a
collision with truck in which Martin
Skala, Jr., Matt Marolt, Jr. and Anton
Shikonja were riding and in which
collision, Mart Marolt was killed"
Mr.. Palmer states most emphatically
that he was not at the reception and
neither were Mrs. Moravitz and family
passengers in his car at the time of
the accident.
The Miner hastens to apologize to Mr..
Palmer and set him right in the eyes

FINNISH GROUSE

make suggestion as to how we may
show our thankfulness to our great
state and to America in charming and
realistic way.
Those of you who were born and
raised in Finland surely remember the
capercailZie or metso as the greatest
game bird you have ever hunted. This
great bird, often attaining a weight of
II pounds, is known as the great grouse
of the North. 1t is extremely hardy,
being able to withstand temperatures of
40 and SO degrees below zero with
ease and when all other food is covered
with snow, it feeds upon pine needles.
Because it is an extremely cautious
bird, it provides great sport for the
hunter and because it is big it provides
food for the settler. When it takes to
the air, it flies like cannon ball,
laundering through the trees.
For years many Finnish-American
sportsmen have dreamed of introducing
this peerless game bird into the wilds
of Minnesota. Some attempts have
been made to introduce the metso into
other sections of the country but these
attempts were more or less haphazard
and done in unscientific ways. Because
Northern Minnesota is so much like
Finland, it is the belief of many that
if a real effort were made to plant birds
from Finland directly into Northern
Minnesota, the attempt would succeed.
Nov all this will take time and eff
fort but as we Firms have undertaken
difficult tasks before, I believe that we
can assume this happy task and do it
successfully, especially when we con-
slider that the living metso in our nor
thern wildS would be most beautiful
token of our love for our state and
nation. urge, therefore, that we take
this matter under consideration and
that the committees that have labored
to make this celebration possible be not
discharged. I suggest that they con-
tinue to function to study this problem
and to take the necessary action to
start a movement whose object will be
to give to Minnesota and to America
the most beautiful gift ever given by one
people to another people, a memorial
that will live forever so that a thousand
years from now, the traveller of the
future passing through our sullen, silent
northern forests, upon hearing the
mysterious call of the metso in some
sylvan dell, will pause and say:
Here is the gift of the good Finnish
people of Minnesota to this, our dearly
beloved country"

Perfect Attendance
For Eighth Grader,

Luverne-Not having been absent a
single day during all eight years of her
elementary schooling is the enviable
record of Dorothy Niemann, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs Carl Niemann of Hard
wick Dorothy's attendance record is
made more enviable by the fact that
she had to walk mile and half to
school each day. Even during the
memorable blizzard of 1885 when the
mercury dropped to the. neither regions
and snow drifts piled many feet high,
did Dorothy trudge her daily mile and
a half to school. And she was only
tardy once in all eight years.
