Yowkey Con Toke Time
To Improve Bosox

This unusual state of affairs Is
helpful to others, even though they
do not like it too well. There is
Tom Yawkey. for instance. Tom has
spent a lot of money and lot of
time building up the Red Sox to
beat the Yankees. Currently he has
the next best team-not only in the
American League, but in both
leagues.
At least, that's what I believe
that the Red SoX, who beat the
Yankees in majority of their
hand-to-h hand combats last year,
could beat any club but the Yankees
National League as we'll as the
American. That. on the form shown
last year, goes for the Reds and the
Cardinals.
Meanwhile, Yawkey and Joe Cro-
min need more time to pull the team
up to parity with the Yankees
and that's just what they are get
ting, without pressure being exerted
from any angle. They may have
better pitching this year. They
have, in their outheld, Dom Di Mag
gio, rated as the best in the minor
leagues last year and potentially as
great ball player as Joe.
Well, they can take their time.
They aren't going to win this year
unless. in a terrific upset, the
Yankees practically fall apart.

Yonks Likely Stronger
This Yeor Thon Lost

The Yankees figure to be even
stronger this year than they have
been, with Charley Keller and Babe
Dahlgren starting from scratch and
not from a long way back as they
did last year, with Joe Gordon con-
stantly improving and with the
strong possibility that the pitching
will be better than it was.
Calm acceptance by their rivals
of the superiority of the Yankees
has been pronounced all along the
line this spring. This may not be
desirable. but it was inevitable. No
matter how courageous or even
hard-headed a ball player or man.
ager may be, after while he Is
bound to come to the conclusion
that the Yankees. as they wound
up last October and as they are to-
day, are unbeatable.
The Reds reached that conclusion
IN the World Series after they had
exerted all their efforts to bring the
Yanks down and couldn't even make
a dent In them.
Bill McKechnle'S men didn't quit
before the series started. as other
clubs have done when they found
themselves face to face with the
Yankees. They believed that, with
Paul Derringer, Bucky Walters and
Gene Thompson in fine form, they
could hold the Yankee hitters in
check and that, with their power,
they could overcome the Yankee

Attorney General Rules
on Game LaU Provisions
Says Judges Cannot Order the
Return of Confiscated
Arms, Equipment.

Attorney General j. A. A. BurnquiSt
this week issued three game law opin-
ions covering hunting in drainage
bitches, disposition of confiscated ar
ticles and revocation of hunting IL
cenSeS.
Since the fee title to drainage bitches
remains with the landowner on whose
property the bitches are constructed,
the attorney general ruled, the owner
may prohibit hunting in them. Judge
Douglas j. KiSe of Redwood Falls re-
queSted the opinion.
A justice of the peace or a municipal
court Judge does not have authority
to order return of firearms or other
equipment confiscated by game wardens
from law violators, the attorney gen.
eral advised the state game and fish
division.
A person convicted of violating a
fishing, hunting, or trapping law with
consequent revocation of license cam
not be issued another license for per-
iod of one year, the attorney general
ruled.
The question was raised by the divi-
sion of game and fish on the point OF
whether a person losing his resident
game license for law violation could
purchase a nonresident permit before
expiration of the penalty period. The
attorney general said this practice is
illegal.

car and motorcycle.
A band shell fund and {. fire truck
fund were created and $4,000 allocated
to each.
A total of $4,000 was allocated for
other permanent improvements, includ-
ing the WPA projects and paving OF
several alleys in the business district.
$4,70O was levied in the band fund,
So 700 for the band, the same as last
year, and $1,000 for the Ely drum and
bugle corps. The attorney general has
ruled that drum corps can be allo-
Gated money from the fund, provided
their activities are carried on for the
benefit of the general public.
The Ely Commercial club was allowed
$1,000, about $1,000 less than last year,
but the $3.50 set up in its budget for the
drum corps was eliminated.
The library board has been notified
that its annual budget of $4,000 will be
continued if they employ trained Ii
brarian as head of the library. Other
wise it will be trimmed to $1,000. The
council will no longer require the board
to pay an annual rental fee of $1,000,
which will automatically increase the
library budget by this amount.
A change in the type of fuel used
at the Community Center is being con-
sidered, which would result in con-
siderable saving to the city.

perform a duty required by the selec-

subject to trial in the United States
district court, which may impose a fine
or imprisonment, or both.
The date when action was taken by
the local board will be written in the
classification record in each of the
following instances:
l. When a duty is to be performed
by registrant.
2. Whenever a period of time begins
to run within which a registrant is to
perform a duty.
3. Whenever a period of time be-
gins to run within which registrant
may claim privilege.
All registrants and other persons con-
cerned should examine from time to

board and the classification record.
The classification record is open to
inspection by the public during the

Entertaining the Teen Age

mo, Mary, you're not to go to the
movies tonight! The show isn't worth
seeing. Besides, don't like the idea
of your always chasing off evenings. y
What do you expect me to do-just
sit around all evening alone, with my
head stuck in a book?"
why don't you ever ask your friends
to come here? Why must you always
go away from home to have any fun?"
Perhaps such alterations might not
be quite so frequent if parents would
do little careful planning to make
staying at home attractive. The lure
of commercial amusements, where the
individual has to make little effort, is
so great nowadays that mothers and
fathers can't just sit back and COM
plain about their children not staying
home nights. They must provide some
thing in the way of counter attrac-
ton.
But if I do ask a group of boys
and girls in," says one mother, "they
either act stiff as pokers, or else they
rough-house all over the place"
This suggests the need of having up
ones sleeve all manner of interesting
things to do. Without bossing a party,
mother can unobtrusively switch the
crowd from one activity to another,
when interest in one thing begins to
wane. She must use ingenuity, of
course, but good book of games
should keep her from being at her
wits end.
In the early teen age years boys and
girls are still not completely at ease
with one another socially. so they're
likely to form two groups, boys at
one end of the room ond girls at the
other. It's necessary to have some
clever ice-breaking ideas that will en-
gage the interest of all at the outset.
Contests are always popular One
such game is planned thus: two rival
sides are lined up, and given pencils
and paper. They are then told to
look about them, to inspect the room
carefully. After they have had a i
chance to look around, some one
should begin to remove from the con-
spicuous places where they have been
put many objects that make up the |
list for the contest.

May be Ready This Weekend,
Local Office States; to
Mail Questionnaires.

RegiStrants may be able to secure
their official draft order numbers from
the local Office by this weekend, ac-
cording to information obtained from
the office. Copies of the master draft
lottery lists arrived here Monday, and
since then members of the Office force
have been engaged in clerical work
preparatory to assigning draft num-
bers and mailing out questionnaires.
Mailing of the questionnaires which
is expected to start the last of this
week or the first of next, is notification
that the process of classification and
selection with regard to registrants has
begun, according to George T. Somero,
secretary of the board
Each day the local board will post
at its office a notice of the order
numbers of the registrants to whom
questionnaires have been mailed that
day, Somero said.
The local board keeps in it's office a
classification record form 10O). On this
classification record will be entered the
date each action is taken by this board
or the board of appeal concerning each
registrant. The entry of this date in
the classification record is notice of the
action taken. Other notice will be
mailed to each, registrant at his ad-
dress last known by the local board,
and to any person who files claim for
him.
Either the mailing of notice of the
entry in the classification record is
notice of the action taken. Other notice
will be mailed to each registrant at
his address last known by the local
board, and to any other person who
files a claim for him.
Either the mailing of a notice or the
entry in the classification record of
