married in Indianapolis Janu-
ary 81 to John Irving Nicely.
Rosario, who was such a pretty
person with shining black hair,
huge brown eyes and exquisite
skin, was very popular during
the stay Of her father here. and
not so long ago came back to
visit with Betty Lloyd Hutehin-
son and take part in q verirable
merry go round Of entertain
uaents in her honor.

have one believe, is wearing a
good-looking ring on the just
right finger Of her left hand
and the lucky man (and he is
lucky, for she is as sweet as she
is blondly lovely) is in the Navy.
THE RALPH WORTH1NG-
l. TON, JR.'S. are about the
most h o u g h t full newlywedS
we've ever heard about. It seems
that promptly after their recent
wedding, the entire bridal party
was invited and put up with
i1oSpitable magnificence at Sea
Island, Ca, for a week, and, as
the guests of the young Worth
ingtons, even though they (the
bride and groom) were then on
the first lap Of a round.the'
world cruise.
MELISSA wOODR1NG, the
IVA cunning daughter Of Sec
rotary Of War and Mrs. Harry
Woodring, is telephone conscious
to q tremendous degree. The
instant the phone rings in the
Woodring house-and Melissa
is within hearing-she makes a
beeline to answer it. Then, if
it. is for her mother, she duti-
fully hands the phone over, but
she Immediately rusheS to an
other phone and listens in, with
serious interest, to every word. :.

Mr.. zbasnik. mot because Ely doesn't

When asked who would fly here to

Pittsburgh aviation enthusiast gave two
examples and said there are plenty
more. A certain Pittsburgh millionaire,
he explained, thinks nothing of taking
several of his friends in his 100000

when he would have preferred to have

entire tip of the Arrowhead.
He will remain a week before re-

Flies From Pittsburgh to
Visit Relatives in Ely
Fred Zbasnik Arrives Little Tard for the s. S. c. u Concave
But Fulfills Promise to Visit Uncle; Suggests Airport
Improvement as Tourist Lure.

Fred Zbasnik, nephew of Anton
Zbasnik, supreme secretary of the
South Slavonic Catholic Union with
headquarters in this city, arrived Sun
day evening from Pittsburgh, Penn
sylyania, flying his Stinson 4-seat plane
after series of haps and mishaps dat
ing back to July II when he was due
to fly here for the convention of the
S. S. C. U. and bring with him greet
ings from prominent personages in
the Union unable to attend the con-
vention.
Mr.. zbasnik is 20 years of age and is
associated with his father in the
grocery business in Pittsburgh. He is
an ardent aviationiSt and flies his own
plane. When he first projected the
trip to Ely he was to be accompanied
by three of his schoolmates and friends.
Before leaving, the engine developed
troubles which made it advisable to de-
fer the trip. The vacation of his
friends being at an end before the re-
pairs could be made, his passengers
cancelled their trip to Ely.
Having promised his uncle that he
would fly to this city, the younger
zbaSnik started last Thursday from
Pittsburgh. He made a stop at Cleve-
land where he visited with friends for
a short time. Another. stop was made
at Milwaukee for refueling. He landed
in Superior on Friday.
The weather not being the most
favorable for continuing his trip to this
city, he left the plane in the Superior
hangar and came to Virginia by bus.
Here he was met by his cousin, William
zbaSnik, who brought him to Ely.
Together with the cousin and John
