One Week Left to Select
Name for Jaysee Athletes
Number of Appropriate Names
Already Submitted; Game
Pass to Winner.

One week remains for Ely people to
enter the contest to obtain name for
Junior College athletic teams. Several
appropriate names have already been
suggested, according to the college
student council, which is in charge of
selecting the winner
A free pass to all school athletic con-
tests will be given the winner of the
contest.
Anyone in the community is eligible
to enter the contest. Entries may be
left with the Junior College dean or
his secretary, with the high school
principal, or at the Ely Miner Office.
Practically all of the athletic teams
within the Northern Junior College con-
ference have a name. In Virginia it
is the Greyhounds, in Hibbing, the Car
dinals, in Eveleth, the Tigers, and in
Duluth, the Bluejays.
Ely college teams should have an ap-
propriate title, too, it is commended, so
that is the reason for the contest.
Leaders in conference basketball for
many years, the college is now repre-
sented by a football team that lost by
only an eyelash taking the title during
its initial start.

GAS MAN DRIVING GAS
WAGON RUNS OUT
OF ALL THINGS GAS!

Ely motorists who have ran out of
gasoline at various distances from fill
ing stations can obtain a degree of
consolation from the fact that the gas
man himself occasionally gets into the
same predicament.
Robert Slogan, behind the wheel of
the Ely Gas g Oil company's tank
wagon, had negotiated about three
quarters of the hill on East Sheridan
street when the engine sputtered to a
stop, the fuel exhausted.
To make the situation more acute,
the compartments of the tank wagon
were also empty, so Slogan had to walk
about block to the nearest supply.

I'm Memoriam
MRS. ANNA BoLDINE, NOV. 10

MRS. ANNA BOLDINE, NOV. 10
God has called our Mother
Away from a world of strife,
To shine among the angels
In a fairer, brighter life.
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe from all grief and sin
Forever and forever,
Where all is pure within.
Our hearts are full of sorrow,
And tears have dimmed our eyes,
But We shall meet her once again,
In the home beyond the skies.
Sadly missed by:
The Boldine Family.
