Mrs. Violet Lassey will feature Fri
day evenings concert by the city band
Mrs. Lassey is recognized as an artis-
tic soloist and her part in the concert
is being awaited by a large number of
friends.
Last weeks concert by the NUM-
cipal Band drew large and appreci-
alive audience at Whiteside Park on
Friday evening. The program presented
by the band under the direction of
Frank v. Di Nino was considered as
one of the best of the season.
Featured at the concert was Miss
Mary Hutar, soloist and organist at
ST. Anthony's church who rendered
several vocal solos accompanied by
the band and Miss Justine Korent in
saxophone solos. Both are performers
of ability and their offerings were re-
ceived by the large audience with
rapturous applause.

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

The Miner makes it a point to gloss
over the sins of the community and
we print only what is fit to be read
by you or your children. Naturally
there are those who feel that the news
is not printed in the paper and want
to see their neighbors panned for
their shortcomings. When a choice
morSel of scandal or news" as they
call it when speaking of their neigh
borS, hits them individually, the editor
is a fine fellow is he says nothing
about it and they weep and wall on
his shoulder to keep it out of the
paper. We are supposed to print the
news We don't make it. We kill many
succulent items that if printed would
cause pain and humiliation to some
father, mother, sister, or brother. What
you don't see in newspaper is what
you should be thankful for as no one
is so pure in their public actions to
warrant exclusion of certain items
from the columns of the paper. For
fear that the printing of these items
would hurt someone's feeling they are
not printed and not because some one
will threaten the editor with the loss
of subscription, as many suppose.
AS We said before. ''The Miner is the
only paper printed that gives whoop
for Ely or its people"

STATE TOPS IN
OUTDOOR NEVIS
Rapidly Overtaking Florida,
California as Recreational
News Material.

Minnesota is rapidly overtaking CAL
ifornia and Florida in the race for
first place in the estimation OF Amer
ica's publisher with respect to outdoor
recreation news. according to Victor A
Johnston, director of the state tourist
bureau.
Gaping the climax of these mount
ing waves of Minnesota outdoor pub
licity was the arrival in this state
late last week of a Metro Goodwin
Mayer camera crew to shoot Fitz-
patrick travelogue Of the states resort
attractions. 1t is being done in techni-
color and is expected to be ready for
showing. in the nations movie houses
early next spring.
In support of this assertion, John
ston cited number of recent instances
of large scale publicity given Mime
Gotta by metropolitan newspapers and
magazines. Outstanding among them
are:
A two-page spread of Minnesota
outdoor pictures in a recent issue of
Life magazine.
A six-page article in the current is
sue of Look.
A series of 20 successive daily articles
in the Chicago Daily News, written by
its outdoor editor, Edwin Nick. john
son, describing a recent canoe trip in
Minnesota.
An article in the DeS Moines Reg
lister by Ries Tuttle, telling about a
recent weekend airplane fishing trip
to Minnesota.
Articles by staff writer's on the same
subject in the New York Times, the
Omaha World Herald and the Detroit
Times, as well as several other papers
of large circulation.
Other newspapers regularly giving
liberal space to Minnesota as top
notch outdoor vacationland include the
Chicago Tribune, Chicago Herald
American, Chicago Times, Cincinnati
Enquirer Cincinnati Times-Star, st.
Louis Post-Dispatch, Houston, Tex.
Post, Kansas City, Mo-, Star, and a
number of others. These publications
bring the story of Minnesota's fishing.
fine resorts, invigorating summer eli
mate and scenic beauty to many mil
lions of readers throughout the con-
tinent and beyond, publicity worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars. For
example: the two-page spread in Life
would have cost $4,000 at regular adj
vertising rates.

10 Cars Are Smashed in (.
Mishaps; 2 Die, Z Hurt
This Year.

Four people have met death and 25
have sustained serious injuries during
the past four years on the Lonstort
curve q miles southwest of Ely on
state highway No. l, according to fig
ures obtained by The Miner.
Seven accidents in which 10 cars
were totally wrecked or nearly so
accounted for the deaths and injuries.
In addition an eighth accident in
volved a car-cow collision in which
the driver escaped injury, but the car
was wrecked and the COW killed.
Responsible for the accidents are
three factors, according to Informal
ton given The Miner They are:
l. Excessive speed.
2. Glaring lights of approaching
cars.
3. Unsafe construction of curve.
A flash of lightning that blinded a
driver was blamed for one mishap
that cost two lives. The other two
fatalities resulted from a head-on COL
iSion at the bridge just west of the
curve.
The most spectacular accident oc-
CURED in 1889 when 10 people were
injured, three cars smashed, and a
fourth stopped by bullets from an
officers gun after the car had run
through the site of the mishap at high
speed.
This year three accidents have &C.
CURED at the curve. One last week
resulted in two deaths and two seri-
GUS injuries. Earlier in the summer a
car failed to make the curve, injuring
over, landed on its top with four
persons being injured.

Human life is cheap. Lund's Topics
says some one who has been studying
the game and fish laws and the tragic
laws and has come to the conclusion
that smaller importance is being
placed on human life than on the
life of a fish. He comes to this con-
clusion by studying the works of the
lawmakers and the fines and penalties
imposed by them and cites several
quirks in the laws and their admin
istration. The dangerous driving laws
are compared with the fish laws:
The fine for cars passing on curves
is $4.72 Fine for possession of short
fish, S1078.
Fine for having inadequate brakes
on car, $500. Fine for illegal pos
session of a fur animal, $18.15.
Fine for hit and run driver, $3.50
Fine for having illegal nets, $44.44.
Fine for improper driving, 1874
Fine for catching too many fish, $16.71

Watch Your Lip Stick, Ladies
Friend Husband Nav Sneak 1t for Fish Bnif!

1t was only a piece of ordinary
lip rouge, but it provides the Ely
territory with its best fish story
for 1941.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. William Diedrich,
Jr., RipOn, Wis, were fishing in
Low lake, near here, idly trailing
their plain silver spoons in the
water. Their efforts to induce
even one member of the finny
tribe to strike were futile. Not
even one nibble disturbed the bait.
In the same boat sat Fred
Blishman, local guide, on the end
of whose line darted a red-streaked
spoon. Fred couldn't get his line
back in the lake fast enough to
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1941-07-31

Asked to explain the phenome-
non, Blishman said that the Died
richs had probably trOlled into a
large school of "male" fish.
The firm manufacturing this
particular make of lip stick says
that it now will add a fifth
: amazing feature"-catcheS fish
to the four it has employed in
marketing the product.
The editor of the weekly news
paper Ripon, Wisconsin, Common
wealth is credited with this ac-
count, and he concludes his story
by saying that he is forthwith
adding lip stick to his fishing
tackle.

accommodate the hungry northerns
fighting for chance to get hooked
next.
Blishman grew apprehensive over
the poor luck of his party, but Mrs.
Diedrich was equal to the occasion.
Taking her lip rouge from her
purse. she drew red streaks on the
lures she and her husband were
using, and tossed them into the
water.
What happened then made BIish-
mans eyes pop. The northerns
turned up their noses at his fac
tOry-made bait, and hooked them
selves with great fervor upon the
rouge-marked spoons.
