Aside from the more serious business
Pete Brasiugli, Eveleth deputy sheriff
who works out of Virginia, easily stole
the show when he unceremoniously
arose wearing very realistic Hitler
mask and gibbered dramatically. With
fist waving overhead in true dictator
style, the Eveleth sheriff with his high
pitched Hitler-like voice nearly rolled
the visitors out of their chairs.
Following a business session held ir

lOWANS HEAD
VAcATl0NERS
Lead Other States, Johnston
Reports; Ely Gets Most
From Illinois.

More IoWanS came to Minnesota for
their 1910 summer vacation than from
any other of the more than 80 states
which contributed to this states total
of tourists it was announced this week
by Victor A. Johnston, director OF the
Minnesota tourist bureau.
Ely's biggest drawing power is in
Illinois, however.
Illinois came a close second, Kansas
third; Nebraska, fouth; Missouri, fifth;
followed by Indiana, South Dakota
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ohio, Wis
consin, Texas, New York, Pennsylvania
California, Nevada, Michigan, Kentuc-
ky, Colorado, Washington, Montana
West Virginia, Maryland, Maine, Con-
necticut, Georgia, Virginia, South Car
DINA and New Mexico.
In addition to these U. S. visitors
tourists came from several provinces
in Canada, Mexico, Central America
and South America. Because of wal
time exchange restrictions, Canadian
tourist travel was drastically curtailed
resulting in a reduction of Canadian
vacationists to less than 8 per cent
in Minnesota resort areas where last
year they exceeded 80 per cent of the
total patronage, according to reports
to Director Johnston.
Even with this sharp drop in Cana
dian travel, indications now are that
Minnesota may have set new high
mark for it's summer tourists business
this year, Johnston said. The years
total is being materially increased by
an unusually large number of fall va
cationists, attracted by the states rep
utation for delightful weather and ex.
ceptionally colorful scenic beauty al
this time of the year, as well as re.
ports of good fishing and hunting, he
said.

Physicians Open DriUe
to Prevent Loss of Sight

Loss of eyesight is one of the mos
tragic of human accidents and it car
be prevented in a vost majority Of
cases.
This is the text of a campaign fol
prevention of blindness in Minnesota
which will be carried on during the
month of November by the Minnesota
State Medical association in coopera-
ton with the Minnesota Society fol
the Prevention of Blindness, it was
announced by association officials to-
day.
Plans for the campaign include talks
by physicians, special newspaper bu-
letins, radio broadcasts and a packet
of scientific material on control OF
grave eye disorders which will be sent
on request to all physicians OF the
state. Speakers for any interested or
ganization will also be supplied on
request, at association headquarters
493 Lowry Medical Art building, ST
Paul. it was announced.
Among the principal causes of blind
ness which can be controlled or pre-
vented entirely the physicians list the
following:
The first is accidents, many Of which
happen at play or in athletic sports
as well as in industry and on the
farms. Even trifling accidents should
have immediate attention the doctors
warn. Many grave eye injury seems
trivial at the time of the accident and
expert help is not sought until serious
illumination or damage to eye struc-
lures has occurred.
The second is cross-eyes in children.
Vision in the crossed eye will be lost
entirely the doctors say, unless the
child has treatment before he reaches
the age of six or seven. 1t should be
emphasized, they declare that nobody
outgrows cross-eyeS.
The grave eye disease known as
glaucona is the third. This disorder
is occasionally present at birth but
does not usually develop until after
middle age, the doctors bulletin points
out. Early signs include headaches,
misty or narrowing vision and, too
often, the trouble is dismissed as a
simple eye defect The victim tries
one pair of glasses after another and
when finally he goes to an eye physi-
clan for examination its too late to
save his vision Early treatment will
control glaucoma in most cases.
Infections, particularly syphilis and
gonorrhea also cause major proper
tion of blindness the bulletin says.

PERK0 BUILDS
FISHING CAMP
To be Located on Friday Bay
of Crooked Lake; to Open
for 1941 Season.

Ely will have another remotely loca-
ted fishing camp for which seaplanes

Joe Perko is erecting camp on Fri

cich has a camp on Curtain Falls of
the same lake, opened last spring.

A crew of seven men in charge OF
Steve Mizera is now constructing the
camp. They will be at the site all
winter, and until the freeze-up comes
planes are being used for tranSporta-
ton of supplies. Thirty miles by air
the camp requires about 20 minutes tt
| fly to. Only other route would be w
the Ely-Buyck road to the trail into the
Angleworm lookout, and then through
the woods.

In the election of 1896 there were
"a million voters in the country that
failed to vote. Since 1886 the number
of countries where citizens have re-
tanned the privilege of going to the
polls to vote without fear of reprisal
for candidates of their choice, have
narrowed down to very few. America
is lucky that this country is one of that
handful. On November 5th we again
have an opportunity to speak our
piece and to register our approval OF
displeasure. Every American owes it to
himself and his fellow citizens to regis
ter his desire as to who is to be ouI
chief executive and who is to represent
us in Congress. Get out and vote.
