Your interest in trees as such may
seem to be limited to the balsam OF
spruce you trim at Christmas, or the
apple tree in the back yard, or find
ing shady spot on the Fourth OF
July, comments the U. S. Forest SER
vice.
But wherever you live, you live with
wood. You work on it, sleep in it,
eat from it, use it in your fireplace,
and depend on it for your daily
newspaper.
Take your home, room for room,
and see where wood and its products
-plastics, cellulose, and rayon-play a
part in your daily life.
In your living room are davenport,
chairs, lamps, lampshades, cushions,
coffee table, picture frames, holdings,
ash trays, piano, artificial flowers and

The dining room has table and chairs,
panels, rayon and paper napkins, salad

BUDDY POPPY
SALE May "a

With the nation in the midst of
tremendous national defense efforts
being carried forward by a great
wave of patriotism, the Buddy Poppy"
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of
the United States takes on a newer and
richer significance, declares Commander
John j. Maier of Ely post No. PITT,
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
These are among the factors expected
to make the goth annual v. F. w.
Buddy Poppy distribution the most
successful in the organizations history,
according to Commander Maier.
Post No. PIT will sponsor the
Buddy Poppy sale here Saturday, May
"a, for the benefit of its welfare pro-
gram among the disabled and needy
veterans of this community.
The wearing of a VFTW Buddy
Poppy has become an established Gus
tom in America tradition that is
rooted in the desire of the American
people to express their approval of
cause that is close to the heart of
every loyal American.
The 1910 Buddy Poppy sale was the
largest in VFW annals, he said With
patriotic sentiment even more intense
this year, it seems certain the general
public will be more anxious than ever
to contribute to veteran welfare acti-
VitieS.

And in the basement or garage are
wooden-handled hammer, screwdriver
and the like, boxes and crates, kindling
and coal bins.
These are just few of your every
day wooden servants, big and small
Your house itself, if it is like four
f1fthS of the homes in the United
States, is built of wood.
More than $500 uses of wood are
known. 1t rightfully claims the title
"the material of universal use." The
future welfare of our country, like that
OF the past and Of the present, is in
evitably associated with wood and the
forests that produce it.
That is why forest conservation is
important, why trees must be grown
and cut as crop, and why forest fires
must be prevented.
The United States Forest Service,
closely cooperating with state con-
servation departments, has for its
chief purpose the conservation of
Americas forests through wise use e.
through selective cutting of present
stands and through replanting of cut
over land better suited for trees than
for any other crop.
Forests form a great natural re-
source that, with intelligent care, re-
plenishes itself. They are source of
strength for this nation in both war
and peace, and a continuing supply of
their products will help keep America
the home of freedom and opportunity.

DROWNING GETS.
SECOND VICTIM
CCC Enrollee at Gegoka Camp
Loses Life as Kayak
Overturns.

Drowning took its second victim of
the year here Friday when a CCC en-
rollee in Co. 704 at Gegoka camp, 80
miles south of Ely on the Finland road,
lost his life in McDougal lake.
The victim was Edward P. Thilges,
10 years old, of Tracy, MINI. The body
was shipped from the Laing mortuary
to Tracy Sunday.
Thilges. with Gerrett VanDebe, 10
years old, were padding in a kayak
in the lake, on which the camp is To-
Gated, when the craft capsized. Neither
of the boys could swim.
Thileges went down, but VanDebe
when his shouts for help were heard.
The victims body was recovered by
divers after it had been in the water
about 20 minutes. Artificial respiration
was Immediately started, and later the
Ely Fire departments pulmotor was
used, but without success. He had been
enrolled at the camp Jan. "a
Thilges, insofar as The Miner can
determine, is the only CCC enrollee of
hundreds who have come into the
wilderness area to drown. Safety both
at work and at play some of the prin-
cipal subjects taught the enrollees from
their first day at camp. They are
warned never to enter boat or canoe
without life preserver.
This areas first drowning victim
was Frank Urmaz, 80 years old, who
lost his life below Silver Rapids April
1 81.

The reopening of the emeralite plant

Secretary Hull has proposed to con-
gress that even aliens must choose as
to whether they serve in the armed
forces or decide to remain subjects OF
other lands. Some have been drafted
and several foreign nations have OBJ
jected on the grounds of chow we
would feel if American citizens in
Germany or Britain were drafted into
the armed forces of these lands" The
secretary says that aliens called up
after registration should be exempted
at their request. But, he also sug-
gests that an alien should never
thereafter be allowed to become a cit
izen of the United States. This Will
give the alien chance to choose and
if here only tmporarily on businss
they will of course ask and receive
exemption. It will also show those
here for keeps. The choice will be
their own.

The Baltimore Sun remarks that
"people are willing to pay increased
taxes for national defense. They
recognize the urgency of the situation
and are ready to sacrifice to meet it
But before assuming heavier burdens
to meet a particular emergency they
have a right to ask that the Govern
ment protect them against excessive
non-emergency OUTLAWS. Prudence as
well as justice to those who must pay
the bills requires that there be some
effort to cover at least a fraction OF
the emergency costs by retrench-
ment in non-emergency items.

Statistics prepared by life insurance
companies show that in the case of
the average couple, each living their
normal life span, wife can expect to
outlive her husband by about eight
years. Women on the average outlive
men by about four years and in the
case of the average couple the hus-
band is about four years older than
the wife. The problem of widowhood
is not confined to the latter years of
life. Of the 100000 wives who be-
come widows each year, 1000 are
under 25 years of age; $1,000 under
So; while the total of those under As
is 100000. For the widows who are As
years old, there is an average lifetime
ahead of 81 years. In the case of
widows 20 years old, there are still
so years ahead, the statistics show.

LIGHTS, BRAKES

Eden Rowe, chief of the Minnesota

nounced the opening of the spring drive
on defective motor vehicle lights and
brakes.
AS the states lie highway patrolmen
received orders to concentrate special
attention on mechanical defects which
are common causes of traffic death and
injuries, motorists were warned by the
chief to have their cars thoroughly
checked in advance of the heavy traffic
season. Last year $4,000 motorists were
given tags and $3.50 arrested for
dangerously faulty equipment.

been issued against the sale of stock
in an oil development proposition in
Texas The stop sign, however, was
not hung out before $450,O00 of the
nice green certificates had been sold
to range and Duluth investors, so it
is stated. 1t is strange how people

We who smoke cigarettes seem to
get it in the neck every time tax
bill is passed. Maybe it is bad habit
and we should pay, but the government
certainly does seem determined to get
it's share.
In the new tax program, it is pro-
posed to increase the tax on cigarettes
from 6.5 cents a package of twenty to
8 cents. A delegation of tobacco farmers
kicked. They contended the present
tax is about 1900 per cent on what
the farmer receives for his tobacco and
that with state taxes in some states
as high as cents package, the pro-
posed increase would make the tax
alone Is cents package in some areas.
The boys i nthe army will sure have
to roll their own if that happens.
John L. Lewis, head of the CLIO.
United Mine Workers, is not only a
great Snowman, but master of politi-
cal vituperation and invective. In fact,
his choice of language in laying out the
so-called southern operators in the
hearing before the Truman committee
on the coal shutdown reminded me of
the late Floyd B. Olson's, when he
wanted to tear into an opponent to the
limit.
Lewis size. his massive head with it's
shock of tousled hair, those exceptional
eyebrows like a couple of young box
wood hedges, and his grim, steeltrap
mouth, along with his tremendous vi
tality all aid him in capturing and
holding the center of the stage. He
pounded the table frequently during
the hearing, but he could convey en-
phasis almost as well by the movement
of those furry eyebrows.
Perhaps it is merely characteristic
of the man and perhaps it is a symbol
of the growing political power of his
organization, but Lewis impressed me
as the most arrogant man I have ever
seen in public life. He was appearing
before special committee of the high
est legislative body in the land, yet Mr..
Lewis was laying down the law as if
he and not the Congress was the higher
authority.
I certainly gained the impression
that Mr.. Lewis has no great respect
for democratic political processes as
symbolized by the Congress, howver, ar
IDENTIFY he may talk of economic democ-
racy.
Latest figures on strikes in defense
industries show there are three or four
involving CLIO. unions to every one
involving AT. of L. unions. 1t would
carrying out the policies adopted by
their leaders of adjusting their dis
putes without any stoppage of pro-
duction, while quite a number of CLIO.
locals, regardless of the pledges of their
national leaders, are determined to uti-
lie the opportunity offered by the in
dustrial expansion to stage an organiza-
ton drive.
The result is likely to be that the
AT. of L.. because of its more COM
plete cooperation in the defense eff
fort, will be penalized by a slower
growth in membership than the CLIO.
The public reaction to the proposed
$3,50o,o0o600 new tax program shows
that human nature still operates at
the same old stand. Almost everyone
agrees that we need that much or
more additional revenue and that tax
increases are necessary. But the par
ticular tax that hits them is bad,
would hurt business and really wouldn't
raise much revenue, so why don't we
leave it out and keep all the rest.

SIS fine FOR
NOT REPORTING

Two Minnesota motorists last week
learned to their sorrow of the state
law requiring compulsory reporting of
all serious traffic accidents when they
were fined $75 apiece for failure to re-
port a pedestrian fatality, even though
they were absolved of blame in connect
ion with the death.
Because the traffic victim was walk
ing on the wrong side of the road. both
motorists were absolved of RESPONSE
bility by tn ecoroner's jury. However,
when investigation showed that both
motorists had neglected to report the
accident to local police, the court i'm
posed fines of $75 on each of them.

the army of bureaucrats serving in and
out of Washington. The secretary has
come out flatfooted and said that the
country could cut billion year
from the non-defense costs of the
federal government making that much
more of the public revenues available
for defense. A slight axeing of state
