Consequently, when the demand came for skilled workers in de- fense industries, and salaries popped up to make hired mans pay look like a short crop in pea nuts, farm lads found themselves riding new gravy train and they made the most of it.
 There were two other factors the draft and the discovery by industrial employers that farm youths. even if they didn't know their mechanics, were two jumps ahead of city boys because they were work trained" You didn'l

SAFE DRIVING
BY Douglas Nankervis
Chief Of Police.
SCHOOLS OUT
WATCH OUT

Theme of the cover picture on the
June issue of Public Safety magazine
is schools Out-Watch Out" The
caption is used to illustrate an acct
dent involving car driver and a boy
running across street.
The artist was very realistic. The
expression on the boys face was one
of stark terror, as he saw, too late
that he had run directly into the path
of an approaching car.
School Out-Watch Out" is an apt
and timely warning to both car
drivers and youngsters. During seven
hours of each day, five days per week,
of the school year most of the young
people were confined to class rooms,
but now they are at liberty to go
where they please. As result the
chances of their being involved in
accidents have greatly increased.
Instead of Saturday being the big
bicycle day on city streets, now it is
every day. Increased care on the part
of both motorists and bicycle riders is
necessary to eliminate accidents.
Now at every hour of the day car
drivers must watch carefully for
youngsters darling across the street.
Parents should not neglect to caution
their children to use care, and to re-
member the safety rules they learned
while in school.
During June, July, and August make
"SchoOFS Out-Wafnh Ont, one of
Ely's traffic safety rules.

POPULAR BOY
Died JUNE 3
Chandler Crosman, Visitor
at White Iron Fatally In
jured in Accident.

The White Iron Beach cottages are
grieved to learn Of the death in Man
kato, Kansas on Sunday, June 8, Of
Chandler Crosman, as the result of
a bicycle accident.
Chandler was Is years of age, bright
and enthusiastic. He was popular,
both with schoolmates and adults who
enjoyed his acquaintance. He was a
favorite with the residents of White
Iron where he has spent his summers
for several years.
The unfortunate boy was born in
Lancaster, N H., February Is, 1928, to
DR.. and Mrs. Philip D. Crosman. Fol-
lowing the death of his father in 1881,
Chandler with his mother and two
sisters went to Mankato, Kansas, to
reside at the home of his grandpar-
ents, Mr.. and Mrs D. H. Stafford and
yearly came to White Iron with his
mother, sisters and grandparents.
One of the sisters, Ruth Margaret,
died December, 1886, and his grand
mother, Mrs. Stafford, died in this
city in September, 1888.
Sunday morning, June 8, while re-
turning home from church school on
his bicycle he met with an accident
which caused instant death.
As we said before, Chandler and
his smile, his bright joyous personality
his warm friendlinesS, his true Christ
ian spirit and his love of Boy Scout
activities, will be missed by the circle
of acquaintance he made on his
visits to Ely and the Stafford summer
home at White Iron and who join in
expressing heartfelt sympathy to the
bereaved relatives.
