Ely housewives need have no diff
Guilty with their canning this year
even with sugar rationing.
Authority for this statement is no
less a source than the Office of war
information, Minneapolis, and the
ladies who wish to argue the point
can take their troubles to Dowsley
Clark, regional officer, $50 Midland
Bank building. The Miner does not
claim that it is qualified to speak on
this scientific subject.
Everyone wants the housewife to fill
up the fruit cellar-the government,
the University of MinneSota'S home
economics department, the county ag-
ricultural agent, women's clubs, and
most of all, members of the immediate
family whose meals are made more
appetizing by generous helpings of
fruit all winter long.
But the office of war information
admits that the "little woman"
whose multitude of complexed prob
lens are increased directly by the
war, has a job ahead in making
minimum amount of sugar satisfy
the family's sweettooth.
To carry out its point that there
need be no difficulty even with the
restrictions on the use of sugar, the
information Office passes on the fol-
lowing suggestions from the consumer
division of the Office of price admin
istration:
Instead of making the usual syrup
the consumer division of the OPA says
add small amount of sugar to the
fruits own juices. Since fruits con-

fruit in each jar. There should be
enough juice to cover the fruit COM
pletely.
Honey may be used to replace UP
to one-half the sugar called for. Up to
one-third of the juice may be corn
syrup. Fruit juices may be bottled or
put in jars with little or no sugar.
When sweet and tart juices are mixed,
no sugar is needed. Simmering the
juice rather than boiling it will keep
more of the natural flavor.
And here is what she can expect to
get as the result of her try:
PEACHES-A crate will make 1912
quarts. Each quart jar needs about
10 to IL peaches.
PEARS-A box will make 1915
quarts, five to six pears going into
each jar.
PLUMS-A crate, or lug, of plums
will make 1915 quarts. Each jar takes
from 26 to 80 plums.
APPLES-A bushel will make 20
quarts, seven to eight apples going
into each jar.
BERRIES cups of huIled
berries to each quart; 20 quarts out
of each crate.
CHERRIES-A lug of cherries will
make about IL quarts, each holding
about two to % pounds.
She can use one pound of sugar
for each four quarts under the ra-
tioning plan. She gets sugar for can
ming through certificates issued by her
rationing board.
That's about all there is to it.
assuming that the required supply of
fruit, glass jars, cans, rubber rings
and tops is on hand.

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

Praise and congratulations are due
the Ely Drum and Bugle Corps for
their very admirable work at the
American Legion Convention in
Duluth. Besides winning the state
championship for the third successive
time the corps also distinguished
itself in the several parades staged
during the convention. The honors
won by the corps did not come with
out effort on the part of the men,
berS who spent the past month in
intensive practive and drilling. Much
credit is also due to Harold Dillon,
drum major and his majorettes, Olga
Tome, Marcella Niemi, and Virginia
Hoppa. another Ely contingent that
distinguished itself in the parade
Tuesday evening and at the exhibit
ton was the Northland Cadets under
the direction of Mrs. Ann Saari. The
Cadets also were drilled by Mr.. Dillon.

the east edge of the city at j p. m.
A welcoming committee headed by
Mayor John KapSch and Lynn Paul
son, chairman of the Ely Wings for
Norway committee, will escort the two
flyers to the Community Center
auditorium
The flyers will address a public
gathering in the auditorium at / 80
o'clock, and If time permits will show
pictures Of the Nazi bombing of Nor
way. Donations will be accepted for
the Wings for Norway fund, used to
provide the corps with training planes.
The flyers are 1t. Nils MeIin, and
Andreas of Norway, the latter pilot
ing the ship.
Lieutenant Melin is the only Swed-
ish pilot In the Norwegian air force,
while Andreas of Norway must re-
main anonymous for the sake of his
family living still under the heel of
Hitler's guerillas.
Their tour of the country is sane
toned by the United States govern
ment, which furnished the plane.
Melin, resident of California,
went to Canada to join the Raj when
he encountered some difficulty enter
ing our air corps. Instead, he en-
listed in the Norwegian air force,
which is dedicated to the task of
avenging the fall of Norway. Thirty
three years old, he received his first
officers training in Sweden.
The mad Austrian who would rule
the world by force will hear much
of countless Andreas of Norway, brave,
determined youths who flout the
dangers of the sea to escape by var
ious routes to England and on to
the air training center in Canada. The
Andreas of Norway who will visit Ely
travelled this route, which Nazi SUBJ
marines, mines, fighter pilots, and
ocean storms make near suicidal.
Some day, he says, he hopes to re-
travel this route by air with rack
Dad of bombs for the thugs that
would kill his parents if the Nazis
could learn their identity.

NEcKTIE saves
OFFICERS LIFE

An extra-tough knot of his necktie
probably saved the life of Capt. Joe
Markovich of the Ely police depart
ment.
Early Monday morning the police
department was notified of an auto
mobile accident just west of the rail-
road tracks on the Ely Winton road.
Markovich and Patrolman Peter Ko-
cevar went out to offer assistance.
They set out flares, and put Eric
Nikkinen, driver of one of the two
cars involved in the accident, in the
back seat of the police car.
In the other auto were Louis Call
igari, Ironwood, Mich, the owner, Joe
Boldavin and Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Garni. Mrs. Garni and Boldavin got
into the front seat of the officers
car with Markovich to return to Ely.
The others stayed at the scene of
the accident, head-on collision in
which both cars were badly damaged.
When the police car had reached
the city garage, Nikkinen, it is
alleged, attempted to slash Marko-
vich's throat, but the knife hit the
knot of the tie and was detected. The
officer jumped from the car, warning
the other two to do likewise. He at
tempted to take the knife from Nikki-
men, but he refused to give it up or
leave the car.
A furious fight followed before Mar
kovich subdued Nikkinen and secured
the knife.
Nikkinen waived preliminary hear
ing and was bound over to the district
court on first degree assault charge
He is 63 years old.
Markovich had Is stitches taken in
his throat, but he was not seriously
hurt. He reported for duty again
Monday morning.
