OFFICERS HERE
Sheriff Owens Says No Special
Patrol Will be Named for
Ely-Tower Road.

Patroling of highways in the Ely
Tower area will be left to the deputy
sheriffs in the two towns, Sheriff Sam
owens has informed The Miner. There
will be no special patrol for the Ely
Tower road as was the case last year,
owens said.
Instructions have been issued by
Owens to Deputies Adolph DolenShaE
and Walter Tufvander of Tower to take
care of the patrol work, and the sheriff
has left it to them as to what hours
the work should be done.
DolenShak said that he and TUT
wander are patrolling all county roads
and also state highway No. l. The Ely
Winton road, which has been the scene
of many accidents since it has been re-
surfaced, the Grant-McMahan boule-
ward, and No. 81 are among those being
patroled
Last years report discloses that the
amount of traffic on the Ely-Towel
road does not warrant the expenditure
of a full-time patrol" Owens said.

No. 81 on the First National Bank COR

meme in answering the call went to
the Forest hotel corner because the
indicator in the fire station said the
alarm had come from No. 81 on the

The awning on Tauzell's Depart

carelessly tossed cigaret, was ablaze,
and passerby turned in the alarm.
A large crowd gathered at the spot
waiting for the firemcn that didn't
come until arm-waving citizens brought
them to the fire.
Meanwhile, Francis Brennan, man
ming the Ely theatres eXtinguisher
carried to the store by Manager Dick
Davis, put the fire out.
The ticker and the bell said the
alarm had come from box 81, but, &C
cording to Frank Lindgren, on duty
at the time, and Paul Buccowich, Jr.,
superintendent of the light and water
department, also at the station, the
indicator reported No. 81.

leaders pointed out that, even with
the enlarged building program, the
limited States would still fall short
of the 5-5-3 ratio because of the ac-
CELEBRATED naval programs of other
countries. The new authorization
when completed would provide for
a. total under-age tonnage of l.
724 ,4SO and total of 289 ships, add
ing three airplane carriers, five
cruisers and six submarines, as
well as 1,O11 planes to provide a
maximum of $500. The newly au-
thorized vessels will be laid down
during the next two years and will
require five to six years for COM
pletion. BY that time, the Navy
would have in combatant types 18
battleships aggregating 100000
tons, eleven aircraft carriers of
254 500 tons, 48 submarines total
ing 102,956 tons.
HATCH Billion Tuesday of
last week, March 10, the widely
discussed Hatch bill was passed by
the Senate by a vote of 58 to %.
The first Hatch bill passed by the
last session of Congress, forbidding
pernicious political activity by Fed
eral employees even outside of civil
service regulations, was a great
step forward in Government. This
second bill, applying to State en-
ployees paid partly or wholly with
Federal funds, is logical exten-
sion of it. This latter bill is now
ready to come before the House of
Representatives with the added
Bankhead amendment which limits
private contributions to $4,000
from any individual. This whole
some check on campaign funds
would seem to indicate an express
sion of public sentiment for cleaner
politics.

ing. 1t may be the daily grind OF
routine work, it may be the ambi-
ton for a career, it may be the
pursuit of pleasure, it may be a de-
votion to God. Whatever it may
be, it is supremely cnetral in your
life and around it all other things
revolve.
Is that central thing in your life
something small, something un-
healthy, something with a negative
power, holding your life by its in
f1uence within very small circle ?
The circuit of the moon is very
small compared with the circuit of
the earth because it has only a
dead earth exercising the supreme
influence upon its life. But the cir
cult of the earth is infinitely larger
because it has for its center of in
fuence a living sun.
Select for the central influence in
your life something that is infin-
lively bigger than yourself, some
thing of surprising quality, some
thing that will fill your life with in
spiration and make possible out
standing achievements.
When God is the center of ones
life, he no longer goes around in
circles; he travels large orbit.
