pany in previous years. Supt. B. o.
Strachan of this city was chairman of
the booyah committee and had secured
the services of expert booyah cookers
and coffee makers besides a force of
hard workers for the service.
Emmett Jones of Two Harbors, a
native of Soudan where he was born
before his parents moved to the Port
City, was the speaker on the day. Mr..
Jones spoke of his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. r. G. Jones, and grandparents,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Mahady, ST.. He
spoke of their pioneering and their
relationship with the pioneers of the
range. After this tribute to these
old timers, Mr.. Jones touched on pre-
sent affairs in the economic life of
the country and asked all regardless
of polictical affiliations to stand be-
hind President Roosevelt in the criti-
cal service he is rendering the country
torn by internal and external dissen-
sion caused by the war situation.
At the business meeting following
the address by Mr.. Jones, the officers
were chosen upon the recommendation
of the nominating committee named
by President William Tracey, COM
posed of Samuel Owens, VIM. G.. Pryor
and James Beatty. The time for the
next reunion was changed to Saturday
instead of Thursday by vote The
gathering also decided to send a re-
membrance to Thomas Owens and

Nels Benson Heads
Old Settlers Assn

Nels j. Benson, Minneapolis, was
elected president of the Vermilion
Range Old Settlers Association at
Tower Thursday. Mr.. Benson is one
OF the earliest resident of the Ver-
million range having been in the lum-
Der business in our neighboring city
and later in the general merchandise
business.
Other officers chosen were Herman
Olson, Tower, first vice president; B.
0. Strachan, Ely, second vice presi-
dent; j. B. Pearson, Tower, secretary;
j. o. Mike, Tower, treasurer. John
Schwetger, Chisholm, was chosen a
director to fill the unexpired term OF
A. s. Kitto, deceased. and will serve
with Joseph Gerzin, this city. Two
directors were chosen for three years
John Meta of Angora and William
Martin of Soudan. These will serve
with E. j. Morcom of Soudan and
Peter Schaefer of this city on the six
man directorate.
The twenty-Seventh annual reunion
of the Association was very success
full one and over a thousand people
participated in the festivities incident
to the occasion. While the arrange
ments for the meeting only occupied
the attention of the several commit
tees for about eight days, the mem
bers were all workers, resulting in one
of the most pleasant programs high
lighting the meetings for the past
several years.
Rain threatened early in the morn
ing of Thursday but by the time spe-
CITED for the old timers ito assemble
the weather had cleared up and q
most pleasant day resulted. The re-
ception committee received the visitors
at the city hall and when the party
left for Mckinley Park, a large crowo
had assembled and paid their yearly
dues. To add to the pleasure of the
gathering in the morning, the Tower
Soudan high school band under the
direction of Charles Minelfi, played
during the time the old timers were
gathering and registering.
Not only did the band entertain al
the city hall in the morning but fur
nished music at the pavilion at the
park where selection after selection
were played during which the or
ganization accompanied several very
good vocalists from among their mum
Der.
At 1890 the booyah was served and
baskets with lunches were brought
out. The booyah, coffee, cream, bread
and butter were served by the Oliver
Mining company as a tribute to the
old timers. This generosity and ap-
probation also characterized the COM

family at Two Harbors, absent on ac-
count of illness.
The changing of the meeting date
from Thursday of the third week in
July to Saturday of the same week
seems to meet with the popular ap-
proval of the members. This date win
be rather hard on the merchants who
usually enjoy a fine trade on Saturday
and thir employees. This phase came
TO the attention of those advocating
the change. 1t was felt that all other
employees of the mines. city, county
and other employing bodies. did not
work on Saturday and would be able
to attend the reunions without the
loss OF time and that merchants could
arrange their affairs for the one day
out OF respect to the old settlers.
AT the annual meeting in 1899 in
this city it was voted to hold all future
reunions at Tower instead of alter
mating between here and Tower. IN
line with this policy the last two meet
ings were held at Tower. 1t is expected
that with the change in the day to Sat-
urday for holding the reunions many
more of the younger old settlers will
attend to keep the association function
ing. The very older ones are gradually
passing out of the picture and the
younger blood is needed to arrange
for the annual get-togethers.
The passing on of several of the
original members and organizers were
noted at the meeting Thursday and
resolutions of regret were passed at
the annual meeting. The sons and
daughters of these are carrying on as
a tribute to the pioneers.

Two Die, Two Injured
as Car Leaves Road

Two men are dead and two
more seriously injured as the
result of an automobile acci.
dent on the Lonstorf curve,
Za miles west of Ely on high
way No. 1, at about 1880
o'clock Wednesday night.
The dead are Kenneth Soljahem, q,
Fargo, N. D., who was employed in a
store at Virginia, and Raymond Kishel,
%, Virginia. Soljahem died instantly
of a broken neck, while Kishel sue
cumbed in Shipman hospital.
The injured are Roland MattSon,
Virginia, driver of the car, who has a
compound fracture of the right leg
and other injuries, and Leonard Carl
son, Virginia, body bruises and other
injuries. After being treated in the
local hospital, the men were taken
to the Virginia hospital.
According to Deputy Sheriff Adolph
Dolenshak, Mattson said that he was
blinded by flash of light, believed to
be lightning, as he rounded the curve.
The auto left the highway, Mattson
said, and he yelled to the other men
to "duck." The auto crashed through
a wire fence, overturned an undeter-
mined number of times, and stopped
about 500 feet from the road.
Wreckage was strewn in all direc-
tons. The men were thrown from
the car.
A passing motorist, hearing honk-
ing auto horn beside the highway
stopped to investigate, and found the
wreck.
This is the first serious auto accident
in the rural area here since 1889, shat
tering safety record more than year
and a half old.

WV PATRIOTIC
SEALS ON Sale

The sale of patriotic seals for the
promotion of Americanism and align
ment against subversive elements il
being sponsored here by Ely post No.
PITT, Veterans of Foreign Wars. The
stamps carry pertinent slogans which
are designed to awaken the spirit of
liberty in the hearts of every Amer
lean.
The local post has issued an appeal
for the cooperation of local residents
in purchasing the seals at a nominal
cost.
In sponsoring the campaign, the
VFW is carrying out the program
adopted at the 41st annual encamp-
ment at Los Angeles last summer and
designed to combat all fifth column
and other Subversive activities in the
United States. Included in the program
is a recommendation for the expan-
sion of the Bureau of Investigation to
the extent necessary for the increased
activities under the national defense
movement.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1941-07-24

More than any other individual in
the Administration, General George
G. Marshall, Army chief of staff, has
the confidence of members of Con-
gress, of all parties and all shades OF
opinion on our defense and foreign
policies. They regard him as a fine
soldier, well abreast of all modern de-
velopments, and having the confidence
of the army officers and men as few
commanders have had it.
That is why, when General Marshall
first announced his belief that the ma
TONS defense made it necessary to
hold selectees, National Guardsmer
and reserve officers over their one
year of service, his proposal won i'm
mediate serious consideration in Con-
gress. Indications now are that the
period of service will be extended by
Congress without very many opposi-
ton votes.
The chief reasons are two. Selectees
were infiltrated into regular army an6
National Guard units to bring them to
full strength, so as to provide nu-
cleus of trained soldiers and thereby
train the units more quickly to the
point where they could actually be
used for defense in event of an
emergency. From 40 to 70 per cent of
the men in nearly all of our q div
iSions are selectees. Obviously, to re-
lease that proportion of men from
each unit in the next three of four
months and replace them with raw
recruits would leave this nation with
no army worthy of the name, GER
tainly with an army that would take
another three or four months of train
ing before it could be used in an
emergency. That is reason number
one.
Reason number two is that a SUBJ
stantial portion of our troops now are
on duty at garrisons in Hawaii, Alaska,
the Panama Canal Zone, Puerto Rico
and similar outposts very vital to our
defense. Like all our units, the troops
at these posts include a substantial
percentage of selectees and guardsmen
to say nothing of reserve officers. Their
period of service would expire in a
month or so and the only troops avail
able to replace them contain large
numbers Of men whose year would ex-
pire in another two or three months.
To release all these men at the end
of their year would necessitate an
almost constant shuttle service from
the mainland to these outposts, and
we simply do not have the available
shipping to do that job.
A third reason might also be given,
namely, that the army has found that
year is hardly sufficient time to
train men for service in mechanical
units. General Marshall has announced
that wherever possible men will be
released after their year and that
only where necessary will they be re-
tanned beyond it.
In extending the period of service,
Congress and the government are not
breaking faith with draftees, because
the Selective Service act specifically
provided in Section 8 (b) that the
period of service might be extended
whenever Congress declared the ma
tional security demanded 1t.
