Freshmen Fail to Turn Up

Thirty-two of the liz freshmen Junior
College students who attended school
during the 1938-39 term failed to register
again this fall for their sophomore year,
according to an investigation staged by
Dean Sigurd F.. Olson.

Cupid didn't have very good luck
among the students, all of whom are

one, girl, failed to return because of
marriage. Sickness kept two way, and a

NOTES

Miss Olive Croker of the national
training staff of the Girl Scouts, Inc,
gave very successful training course
to leaders, troop committee members
and council members of Ely, Winton
and Tower last week. She also held
small group conferences with the stand
ing committees Several events of out
standing interest during the week took
place.
Wednesday evening more than 80 girls
met in the Community Center audi
forum and greeted Miss Croker with
original renditions of songs, folk dances
and shadow-graphs. Visiting troops
were Tower and Winton.
Friday evening, after the last session,
leaders and council members took part
in social hour. Refreshments were
served by Mrs Nels Lee, Mrs. Thomas
Murn and Mrs. Oscar Carlson.
Last Saturday the Council held very
successful bake sale. The council wishes
to thank all patrons and contributors.
The Ely Girl Scouts now have COM
plete staff of leaders and lieutenants
for all troops and Brownie Packs due
to the untiring efforts of the commits
sioner, Mrs. P. D. McCarty. They are
as follows:
Troop Miss Frances Spooner and
Miss Gloria HuSsey.
Troop 2-Mrs. JOS. Mantel and Miss
Erma Kivipelto.
Troop white Iron)-Mrs. Elmo
Starkman and Miss Sadie Koivunen.
Troop Mrs. Leonard Pulkrabek and
Mrs. Henry Kaninen.
Troop (Winton)-Mrs. Joe Smuk
Troop 6-Mrs. Fred McReady and
Miss Louise Strom.
Troop Mrs. Lauren Leino and Mrs

Brownie Pack Is CWinton)-Miss
Joyce Nelson and Miss Goldie Santineau.
At the organization meeting of Troop
No. on Monday evening, the following
officers were elected: President, Clarice
Carlson; treasurer, Catherine Sch
weiger; scribe, Nancy Byrd Brown
ell. The program for the coming year
was discussed and tentative plans were
made. The troop expects to have very
interesting year. With "Gyp," troop
mascot, on hand, we were able to report
1000 attendance Don't let us down,
Gyp!
If Gyp, Troop No. rs mascot, was
permitted to earn a hiker's badge, he
would now have about eight miles ~
his credit. He accompanied the troop
on their hike from Winton last Satur-
day, and while we know it is only four
miles from Winton to Ely, Gyp, by in
veStigating every spot that took his
fancy easily covered twice the distance
the girls did. The trip to Winton was
made by train. The hike was a huge
and plans are under way for
another one in the near future.

WHAT OTHERS SAY


Eagle Grove Eagle-Some 20 years
back when the card clubs met, the
women played bridge in the parlor and
the men played poker in the kitchen.
Then the ladies decided the men were
having more fun then they were, so
they disbanded poker games and made
us learn bridge.
Saltwater News-While observing this
fast-moving scene, wherein historical
drama is being written at each tick of
the clock, let's pay tribute to the greatest
job of pretense shedding ever recorded
in all the annals of hyprocisy.
There was Russia-prating of her
virtue and her idealism, renouncing all
imperialistic ambitions, sneering at
capitalism and democracy, condemning
the profit system, her vast heart throb-
bling for the great unwashed, desiring
no more territory, and yearning only to
extend her proletarian gospel through
out the world, that the rest of humanity
might be spiritually uplifted by the
purity of the new religion, offered as a
substitute for all pending theological
emotions.
Now she is in the real estate bust
ness. And about to go into shipping
and lumber. Renting ships from Nor
way, and trying to rent some more from
Denmark and Sweden, so that she may
take over the business with England,
which hasn't been going so well for the
Scandinavian countries since the war
began. Grabbing off land in Poland,
ports of Estonia, turning a prehensile
eye on Finland going west with all
the verve of any extrepreneur who ever
showed a pushcart, and all the acquisi-
tiveness that ever characterized the
most ardent disciple of Horace Greeley.
No doubt, soon she will have her sign
out as a dealer in lime, hair and
cement, soft drinks and billiards. In
short, running a general store, and Gin
trade" up to her neck.
So goes into the limbo another Utopia
for which so many of our starry eyed
fell. Down the same old sink, one more
substitute for the profit motive, one
more greatest experiment ever made
for human betterment."

side walls and ceilings. This mod
ern structural insulation is highly
efficient in heat-stop value. In the
winter it conserves the body heat
of the cows and thus offsets the
sharp fluctuations of weather so
common in the dairy sections of the
United States.
These wide boards, with joints
which meet on the framing mem
bers, also eliminate cracks and
thus reduce drafts an important
factor according to Mr.. Kelley,
who says: 'Fhere was a direct re-
lationship between excessive drafts
and pneumonia. Risk of sickness
appears to increase with the degree
of exposure to drafts"
With modern insulating materials
it is both simple and economical for
the farmer to "tighten-up" and in
sulate his dairy barn, and take ad-
vantage of the savings which Mr..
Kelley points the way to.

Congressman Pittenger of this dis
trict does not think highly of the New
Deal which he says is more concerned
with the problems of Europe than with
the problems of the United States in
asmuch as it forced adjournment as
soon as repeal of the arms embargo
was accomplished and with no con-
Sideration of the domestic problems. He
says that the unemployment situation
and business conditions are acute and
that the farm problem is worse today
than it ever was. The congressman
thinks congress should have remained
in session for consideration of these
problems. Congress was elected by
the people for the purpose of legisla-
ting to improve the domestic conditions
and if the time has come when con-
greSs no longer can legislate, then we
might as well admit that we no longer
are a Democracy" said Pittenger.

That insulated dairy barns are
essential for sustained milk produc-
ton is indicated by findings of M.
A. R. Kelley of the United States
Department of Agriculture, re-
ported in the technical bulletin, Re-

Milk Production, No. sol. Mr..
Kelley says: ''The decline in milk
yield was faster in the stables
where inside temperatures fluctu-
ated with weather than in those
where temperatures were held
nearly constant"
There are now over 40 million
farm buildings, exclusive of farm
homes, in the United States. While
structurally sound, every farmer
realizes that most of these build
ings are woefully deficient in re-

Provide relief for actual distress only.
Give relief in goods and service Pay

ships and village boards for approval
or rejection of their own relief clients.
Publish complete reports Of relief costs
and let the public know the facts. Get
local costs under control to meet the

relief close to home. Give help to
people in a way that will enable them
eventually to help themselves whenever
possible Give a foothold instead of a

Larry Rossman over at Grand Rapids
in a recent issue of his Herald-Review,
suggested a new use for WPA and his
plan is not "screwy" little bit. Larry
suggests, that in view of the large
amount of good land lying idle in
northern Minnesota, that something be
done about it instead of forever
talking about the taxless wastes Of the
northern section of the state" He
says:
Take a good forty acre tract. Put
some of the men on WPA at work i'm
proving it, Call in one of these land
clearing machines which will get sew
eral acres ready for the pillow in short
time at very low cost. Build a simple
home, a small barn and a chicken house.
Even if the home is not elaborate, it will
be better than the shelters which many
people now have. Keep the cost OF
everything down so that few hum
dred dollars does the complete job
Then sell the property, with little or
no down payment to worthy people
who need a home.
Some will argue that 40 acres Of
land, with a small amount cleared,
will not support family. The fact is
that hundreds of self-respecting fam
lilies in northeastern Minnesota are liv-
ing under just those circumstances.
Those who would talk in that view
should realize that thousands of fam
lilies have worked themselves into in
dependence without any of the aids
that are here proposed. Everyone will
not succeed and there are many who
should not be induced to even try. The
time is coming when every person who
gets dollar of public assistance must
demonstrate that he is willing to help
himself This is a plan of self help"

Allies Weather
CNew York Times)

tNeW York IlmeS)
 One thing the Germans must have to conduct their totaltarian in the air. and that is weather. Unfortunately for them, German weather, if not made in England and France is largely assembled there. The weather destined for Germany may originate at remoter points anywhere in the Atlantic from the Azores to Iceland But the prevailing winds being from west to east France and England get it first. Good or bad, it is freely exported to the Reich, no way having yet been found to put on the contraband list stop it at the Maginot Line.
 This meteorological condition has important military application. British and French forecaSterS know what the weather will be one day in advance German observers since allied weather predictions strictly guarded military secrets. German predictions built delayed information are useful chiefly Poland and points south and east.
 British and French fliers cruising toward Ger many know in a general way what sort of weather they heading into. No German pilot can be cer- tain what weather he will encounter deep in France or England. This disadvantage is greatly emphasized in raids England and Scotland. German planes may set out under ideal conditions and cross the broad belt of the North Sea only to meet storms or dense fogs when they reach land. We not likely to learn of any losses suffered by German fiers from the weather the North Sea But they operat- ing under handicap which may be one reason why no great German air armadas have yet attacked the British Isles.
