Band Shell, Ice Arena Site to
be Selected by City Engineer
Boys Popeyed at Ely Winter

Seeking their first snow and sub
zero temperatures were the ex-
perience of a group of Arkansas
enroIlees at the Portage River CCC
camp, "a miles north of Ely on the
Echo trail.
While they were little bit skep-
tical about venturing out in the
weather typical Of the border lakes
country, after experiencing a few
weeks of it they were willing to
match their ability to withstand
the cold with anyone, according to
j. w. Shaw, camp superintendent.
Twenty-Five out of As who came
here in July reenrolled in Janu-
airy. Since then they saw and felt
what AZ below zero is like, and also
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1941-02-20

witnessed several billiards.
Amazed at the amount of snow,
they thought the people here, like
the bears. more or less hibernated
until spring.
Most of them are from the back
woods country, so they are well
acquainted with the type of ter
rene found here. The variety of
trees, however, is much different,
with the boys remarking about the
lack of hardwoods such as oak anG
gumwoodS.
The first fall of snow was quite
an experience for many of them,
for they had never seen airy be-
fore. They rolled and played
around in it like SO many young
sters.

SAFE DRIVING
BY Douglas Nankervis
Chief of Police.

Mote: Because Ely has had no auto
mobile fatalities since 1898, it has re-
ceivcd recognition throughout the state.
To continue this achievement is a
challenge to be needed by every car
driver and every pedestrian. At the
request Of The Miner, Chief Douglas
Nankervis of the Ely police depart
ment is making weekly suggestion
on safe driving to further the cause
of safety.)
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1941-02-20

Ely motor vehicle drivers are
very lax on giving hand signal
before pulling away from the curb
in the business district, according
to Chief Douglas Nankervis of the
police department.
Often through carelessness a
driver will steer his auto directly
into oncoming traffic, causing the
motorists behind to slam on brakes
to avoid a collision
In winter months when streets
are slippery with ice and snow
this creates a situation that might
easily result in a serious accident.
Car drivers deserve the courtesy
Of being warned by hand signal
that parked auto Is leaving the
curb. Oncoming traffic in the
immediate area should be permit
ted to pass first.
