ORGANIZATION OF /,
ELY BICYCLE CLUB

Ely Post No. 2717, Veterans of Foreign
Wars, ask the cooperation of all Ely
citizens in their sponsorship of the
Bicycle Safety Club to be organized
here. They ask the citizens to purchase
a booster emblem for their cars at 81
each which in turn will pay for four
bicycle safety emblems to be attached
to the club members wheel.
This Post activity has the endorse
ment of the Ely City Council, Chief of
Police Nankervis, the Ely Commercial
Club and the Board of Education.
"Our bicycle riders of today viii be
our automobile drivers of tomorrow, and
and as such, too much cannot be stressed
by promoting the safety spirit in their
minds, when they are taking chances
every day while riding on the streets
and highways" says Adjutant Fred
Hanson.
All boy and girl bicycle riders between
the ages of 6 and II are eligible to join
the Bicycle Safety Club, providing they
have the consent of their parents, who
must sign their application card before
they can become member. Payment
of Csc and the application card properly
signed, will admit the girls or boys tx
the Club.
The Bicycle Safety Club elects its
own officers and the members are triec
in their own traffic court for violation:
of traffic rules. Sentence may be Slls.
pended with reprimand from the Clut
Cycle Judge, or his or her bicycle may
be impounded (not to exceed Is days..
In other words, the club traffic court
is nothing more or less than a junior
division of your police department en-
powered to arrest, try and convict junior
bicycle riding traffic violators in thei
own traffic court.
There are about 400 bicycle riders il
the City of Ely, and when sufficien
funds have been raised to get started
further information will be given, as t.

Dreanl Comes

BELLEVILLE, Ont, Feb. 17.-In the old days in New England pret- ty Vida Seymour would have been in danger of being burned as witch In Scotland she would be credited with second sight For Vida dreams true.'
 At least, one authenticated ins- tance of her powers is vouched for by the provincial police. Her dream enabled them to solve the disappear ance of a farmer and restore him to his family.
 The man disappeared the day a baby son was born to his wife. Frigh- tened relatives feared he had come to harm.
 Miss Seymour watched police searchers dynamiting lake waters. She went to bed-and dreamed she saw the missing man lying in the haymow of the barn.
 Next day she told provincial po- lice of the dream. They found the missing man in barn on his bro- ther's farm, within a quarter of a mile of his own home. He could re- member nothing that had happened after he left his house.
 Miss Seymour had never laid eyes on the farmer.

FRANCE TALKS WAR

INfhANSL hGAto
 What if Italy demands the impor- tant little Balearic Isles just off the French-S Spanish coast in the Mediterranean as part of her priceP They lie across Frances lifeline to her African possessions. They could be almost as much a threat to France as Japanese fertilization of Catalina Island, near Los Angeles, could be to the United States. AL ready France has talked of war to prevent such thing
 England, who never allowed Germany or Italy to have a port on the Atlantic, might soon be con- fronted with a nest of them, as submarine and air bases. In times past England has considered such things worth going to war about.
 Gibraltar the drain-plug of the Mediterranean, already is report edly menaced by rows of German guns on the Spanish coast, and Spanish Morocco is the neighbor across the straits on the African side.
 For that matter, how would the United States look upon totalitar- ian submarine and air bases di- rectly across the Atlantic? And in the hands of totalitarian states?
 Finally, how will the United States and England adjust them selves, if they must to having the mother country of all Latin Ameri- can nations go totalitarian? Spain is closer to the Latin American countries, both geographically and culturally, than the United States.
 Strategically, the war may be nearing an end Automatically, it may be just beginning.
