Must CARRY
DRAFT card
State Headquarters Send Notice
that All Registrants Carry
Their Cards.

A warning to men to carry their
Selective service registration cards with
them at all times has been printed be-
fore in the newspapers of the state,
but because of the Importance of the
announcement to every person who
registered, we think the warning
should be made public again.
Men must carry their registration
cards with them at all times, or they
are liable to arrest. Any law enforce
ment officer-including policemen, high
way patrolmen, game wardens, and
the like-has the right to ask a man
for his registration card. 1t is now
as essential to carry your registration
card as it is to carry your drivers
license.
1t is emphasized that failure to pro-
duce the registration card upon request
will result in mans arrest.
Right now, when the idea of carry
ing the registration card all the time
is new, officials do not wish to be too
strict about the matter. But within a
week or two, there will be a concerted
drive to round up evaders of the regis
tration law, and so this warning is
again issued.

The cooperation of hunters is being
solicited in order to secure information
on hunting conditions. Date on loca-
ton where deer were killed, age,
weight, sex, and condition of animals,
and sportsmen's opinions and observa-
tions on general conditions in the
forest will be gathered.
Deer counts were made in a number
of selected areas within the national
forest before the season, and will be
repeated afterward to gather figures
on the number of deer killed.
Starting from the Canadian border,
the boundaries of the Superior game
refuge in this area follow:
South along range line common to

common to townships 63 and "a north.
East along this township line to range

end November %.
Miners who subscribe to the Red
Gross will be given cards to post in
the windows of their homes so that
they will not be contacted again when
workers cover the city.
The oath annual roll call, the drive
will demand extra effort on the part
of the workers and more cooperation
from residents of this area, because
the quota of the Ely branch has been
increased 25 per cent. The great de-

raising more funds throughout the
country.
At the annual meeting held last
Thursday, all officers were reelected, a

Local questions discussed with the
commissioner follow:
He informed the Commercial clubs
representatives that he had attempted
to have the migratory waterfowl sea-
son opened a week earlier as a move
toward Sept. Is as the opening date,
but had been unsuccessful. The fed
eral biological survey is in charge of
setting the date.
An expert with the department is
studying the wild rice problem. He
spoke in favor of returning portion
of the harvest to the state for replant-
ing.
A hatchery here, at least until addi-
tional funds are available for its con-
struction and building of rearing
ponds, was not the answer to fish
propagation, he declared.
There are enough rearing units, he
continued, at Lake Winnibigoshish in
Itasca county to supply lingering pike
to this area. These paintings have a
greater chance for survival than the
paintings of fry
The abuses of shipping of fish could
be corrected, he said, by attaching a
tag to each nonresident license per-
mitting only one shipment.
The transfer of Warden Joseph
Krall to International Falls, long op-
posed by many Ely people, was dis
cuSsed with DR.. Strunk. He said that
he was reserving judgment until he

Ray Hoefler, secretary of the Com

clubs activities, both on local projects
and tourist publicity. Hoefler, and
several merchants who spoke, asked
that the council increase the appropri-
alton of $4,000 for next year by $3.50,
which would give the club the equival-

Peak levy made by the city, accord
ing to figures secured from the office
of the city assessor, was 1897 ,405 in
1882 This includes the state loan, and
compares with an estimated total levy
of $236,5O4 for 1910, payable in 1941.
Previously in this account this latter
levy was referred to as the one for
1941, but actually it is for 1910 but
payable in 1941.
During the past ten years the city
has levied the full 40 mills seven times.
Smallest levy was BIG mills in 1888.
While in 1882 40 mills raised 1897 ,405,
40 mills in 1910 will raise as estimated
$236,504. Reason for the decrease is
the decrease in valuations, from a high
of $9,234, ,448 in 1881 to a low of $5,912,-

AdUiSed for Hunters.

One of the graver by-products of
the duck hunting season is the annual
crop of eye injuries, according to a
bulletin issued by the Minnesota State
Medical Associations Committee on
Public Health Education today.
Most hunting accidents to eyes occur
when several groups of hunters shoot
toward one another over cornfelds or
intervening brush or trees, according
to this bulletin
Each group is unaware of the pres
ence of the other and the shot gun
pellets which have a spread between
forty and fifty yards after leaving the
gun are likely to fall at an angle that
may easily strike the eye.
Especially carefulnesS to avoid such
tragic mishaps is urged by the physi-
clans in this bulletin which is one of
series on prevention of blindness is
sued by the association of doctors this
month.
"Carelessness with rifles and shot
guns is inexcusable in any case" the
physicians ays, "and especially when
the result every year is loss of sight in
one and sometimes in both eyes for
somebody.
Unfortunately, they point out, ''it
is difficult to dislodge shot gun pellets
from the eye without doing irreparable
damage to the eye ball. Unlike steel
and iron particles, lead pellets cannot
be withdrawn with a magnate and any
attempt to withdraw them with for
ceps may be disastrous. The damage
done to the eyeball may also give rise
to other grave conditions that are
likely to preclude the possibility of
useful sight"
Curiously enough, the doctors say.
a sympathetic inflammation is likely
to occur in the other eye too; but
this inflammation hardly ever occurs
until about two weeks or longer after
the original injury.
Shatter proof safety spectacles are
recommended by the doctors as q
protection against such hunting in

By cliff M''aekay

And again Selassie with the fall of white
nation which supposedly possessed the worlds
best army after only 30-day blitzkrieg, must feel
q sense of pride in the fact that his subjects,
whose hearts burn with the spirit of freedom after
four years of Italian "btzkreging" are still able
to plague the enemy oppressor no little.
1t is indeed ironical that the English four
years after the Italian rape of Ethiopia deem it
advisable to rush equipment to Seassie's willing
warriors in tie hope that their revolt will distract
the Italians from bombing British SOIL
Selassie might pose the question why this
help should come so late, but doubtless won't. To
answer would be very embarrassing to the gov
ernment of nation standing on brink of the
most devastating and total warfare in its thousand
year history
WHAT A WASTE
But what needless waste of human lives this
whole business has resulted in 1t could be sound
ly argued that had the nations who find them
selves stripped of independence "ganged" up
the gangster Mussolini in 1885 they would not
have had the supergangster Hitler to face in 1910
Looking back on "what might have been"
however seldom gets us anywhere The important
thing is that the United States learn from the grim
and horrible fate that has overcome France and
seems likely to do the same thing for England.
England and France should have learned from
Ethiopia. We should learn from Ethiopia. France
and perhaps England to get ready for any mill
taristic dictator, who might cast a covetous eye
this way. The very fact that we are ready would
be the single thing that would deter him from COM
ing.
And the most important part of tbs prepared
ness is national unity-real national unity not
only of political parties, but of Americans regard
less of color
LOWER sENSELESS BARRIERS
1t entails the lowering of senseess barriers
preventing group of loyal Americans, solely be-
cause of color, from serving in the armed forces
of their country Waste of our resources must be
halted and especially this greatest of national ex-
travagance, waste of loyalty.
Nothing would forge America into unity
quicker than turn to the practice of democracy
not just giving lip service to the word The French
motto kept alive e, since t h

worded definition of democracy, Liberty Equal
ity, Fraternity is one that America might well
