SCHOOL BOARD
CONTINUED From Page One)

Scout council, Mrs. George T. Ayres
Mrs Emil Koski, and Mrs. Bern
Lambert, appeared before the board
to discuss the securing of director
for the Girl Scouts. The matter was
referred to the committee on schools
and the superintendent for study.
Oscar Lahti, fireman, was granted
years leave of absence to enter a
defense job, but only after the board
had considered at length the policy OF
granting such leaves. Lahti's request
was approved after it was pointed out
that two similar requests had already
been granted.
The board approved the purchase of
a seven-passenger four-door Buick
sedan from the Central Garage on a
net bid of $2,50075. The purchase of
seat covers for $40 will make the total
cost $2,520.75. Delivery was guaran-
teed within three days. The local
rationing board had granted the
school district a permit to purchase
the car. The bid was $2,835.75, less
$685. allowance on a 1888 Chevrolet
sedan.
Pete's Garage bid a net of $3.50
81 ,235, less $285 for the Chevrolet
on five-passenger de luxe Dodge
sedan, but its bid was not accompan-
led by a certified check and the board
disqualified it.
There was considerable discussion
over whether the board should pur-
chase seven-passenger auto. John
Koschak, the bidder, told the board
that this was the only size Buick
available.
After Supt. Stanley Adkins had
presented lengthy report comparing
the salaries paid the districts custo-
dian, janitors, watchmen, firemen, bus
drivers, groundmen, and carpenter
with those of other range school
workers, the board held up for fur
ther study a request of the districts
employees for an increase in salary.
Miss Mildred Rothman was given
contract for $500 salary for the
term, Miss Eunice Berglund one for
81 ,525, Miss Dorothea Skeel, new
music supervisor, one for $1,000, and
Miss Gertrude Clancy's salary was in
creased from $1,000 to $3.50 since
| she has secured her bachelor OF
science degree.
A girls physical education instruc-
tor has not yet been secured. Mrs
| Archie Swanson, who before her mar
rage held the position, is filling ii
temporarily until teacher is secured
The board approved the request OF
Is petitioners that Miss Jessie II
MichaelSon, college instructor, be
given permission to start course in
tipping to be given after school hours
Petitioners included II married women

PITTENGER

PITTENGER AIRS VIEWS
ON Suffered ORE PLANTS.

PITTENGER AIRS VIEWS
ON Suffered ORE PLANTS.
From Washington we received a
letter from Congressman Pittengel
dated yesterday which says:
"For some time informed observers
have noted that the present supply Of
scrap iron in the United States woulC
very soon be exhausted and unless
substitutes are found this problem viii
result in the closing of many stee
furnaces. Already plans are being
carried out to collect every pound Of
scrap iron that can be found in the
country so that our war defense in
dustries may continue in operation
Government officials are giving care
full consideration to the problem Of
manufacturing Suffered ore to be usec
as a substitute for scrap iron in the
manufacture of steel.
upon his return to Washington fol
vote on the bill to authorize soldiers
and marines to cast an absentee
voters ballot in the November elec-
ton, Congressman William A. Pit
tenger took up this problem with the
iron and steel officials in the WIPE
and pointed out to them that North
ern Minnesota was the logical place
to establish plants for the manufac-
ture of this type of ore. He urged the
establishment of Suffered ore plants
in his District at the mines where al
the present time 85 per cent of the
raw ore used in this country is pro-
duced. He pointed out that sintered
ore could be transported down the
Lakes much more economically than
to haul low grade ore to the eastern
mills, and emphasized the fact that
with the present shortage of vessels
sintered ore would occupy less bottom
tonnage.
I'm this connection Congressman
Pittenger also emphasized the fact
that there is plenty of labor available
for the building and operation Of
plants in his District. He feels conf
dent that the World War emergency
will make it necessary to give recog-
milton to his District in connection
with this problem"

Flu Marine Befriended
by California Family.

Mr.. and Mrs. John A. Riikola this
week received a letter from a Calf
ornia woman, unknown to the Ely
people, who tells of giving their son,
Corp Arnold Riikola of the marine
corps, a ride from Los Angeles to San
Diego, Calf, where Corporal Riikola
is stationed.
IN California" writes Mrs. Mittie
A. Mills of Los Angeles, where there
are so many fine men in uniform, the
slogan is, Give Soldier Ride. A
short time ago on a trip between Los
Angeles and San Diego we gave a
fine boy a ride. We were surprised to
find that we had discovered one OF
our own boys, for We too are Gophers
Minneapolis having been our home
before coming to California"
The Mills family shared their lunch
with the Ely soldier, eating il
along the roadside with the vast
Pacific before u.s." and promised they
would write to Mrs. Riikola.

No endorsers
or gUoruniors needed-A
prompt, simple way to get q
cash loan at reasonable cost


Do you need some cash? Would you
like to pay off old bills as part of
your wartime financial program? This
advertisement tells about a simple plan
which is helping many men and women
with their present daymoney problems.
Suppose you need 500 for an emer-
gency or to pay off debts. You can get
the money in a simple transaction.
Then you may repay on a regular
monthly payment plan. At the end
of definite time you are entirely In
the clear. The payment plan thus be-
comes personal debt paying program.
The cost of this service is reason
able. Suppose you borrow 500 and
repay in six monthly instalments of
$18.48 each, total of $110.88. The
cost of your loan is just $10.88. A $50
loan repaid in six monthly install
ments of 1924 each, total of SIS. A,
costs only $5.44.
This service has been specially de-
signed for folks with jobs. Many peo-
pie have no car, furniture or other
security on which to borrow. And
they hate to ask friends to sign notes.
Salary loans give these people an OPP
portunity to borrow on earning abil-
ity and willingness to repay. When
you get salary loan you merely give
us your personal note. And no en-
dorsers or wage assignment are re-

Helgoland Attacked

News that the Royal Air Force has already
started to pepper the Helgoland berths occu-
pied by the two escaped German battleships
and one cruiser, and assurance that they were
all So badly damaged during their audacious
flight from Brest that they will be out OF
commission for a long time even it the Brit
ish fliers fail to destroy them, brings ray
the Atlantic.
It had been assumed, and not without rea-
son, when word was spread that they had
got through the Dover strait unscathed, that
the Nazis would quickly put all three ships
into service to prey on Atlantic shipping, and
coast. Now that they are unuseable, the Unit
ed States and Britain may well have 50 in
creased their Atlantic fleets before they can
again fire shot that the strength they could
have added to Germany's naval attack will
be materially reduced.
Remembering what happened to the Bis
marck after this German battleship had sunk
the Hood, it is not hard to believe that Brit
ain will put her heart and soul into DESTROY
ing these ships at Helgoland, and that the
present attack will be on a different scale
of intensity and accuracy from the bombings
around their docks at Brest. The honor and
the tradition of the British Navy, no less than
Of the Royal Air Force, will be under a cloud
as long as their daring flight is unavenged
This action in the Dover strait is different
from the loss Of Singapore. It, at least, can
be offset by the destruction of the ships that
fought their way out Of the trap, whereas
Singapore cannot be retaken until Japan is
virtually on her knees. Another reason to
believe that no effort will be spared to send
Germany's proud ships to the bottom is that
such an achievement would go TAR to buck
up the courage and morale of the British
people which have been sadly shocked, if
not weakened, by these two quick enemy vic.
tories.

multitude of Americans, perhaps a ma
Jority, take no stock in the prompt official
denial that sabotage was responsible for the
burning and virtual destruction of the $6O, ,0O0 :.
900 liner Normandie which this Nation was
very soon to put into service as part of our
navy.
There are ample grounds for the conviction
that the fire was the result of sabotage, be-
cause there is ample evidence that saboteurs
had every opportunity they might have desired
to 60 aboard the ship and do their dirty work
without nolestation, because of unpardonable
carelessness on the part of the authorities in
charge.
1t has become impressive, the precise regu-
larity with which the frequent destructive fires
in industrial plants in this country are so
promptly officially declared to have resulted
from some other cause than sabotage. These
Official statements are often made before any
but the most superficial investigation has been
made.

BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Joseph Stain and
other bigwigs of the Russian government pur-
portedly prefer to deal with diplomats of the
"straight-fron1-the-sh school of speak
ing"
On that score, the selection Of Admiral Will
liam H. (BilD Standley as the new U. S. am
oasSador to Moscow should turn out to the
Reds liking. Standley is a 69-year-old sea
dog who speaks without camouflage.
Back in June, 1910, even before the Nazis
had finally crushed the French army, he de-
manded the United States Immediately de.
clare that a state of war existed between
this country and Germany.
Again in the fall Of that year, when German
Dombers were badly blasting Britain. he told
the New York Young Mems Board Of Trade:

no hope of ever using them ef-
fectively from Brest under a con-
tinual deluge of British bombs.
Four thousand tons Of bombs
were rained on them at Brest in
ten months. Although their escape
shows that high-altitude bombing
against small targets is utterly in
efficient, the law of averages
makes certain that some of those
bombs fell true. German repair
crews had to do their work over
and over again.
Hence Churchill argues that the
Germans decided to take the ships
out of Brest, thus sacrificing the
strategic advantages of an operat-
ing base on the flank of British
conveys in the Atlantic.
The presence of the ships at
Brest had taxed British air and
sea power to guard against at
tacks on those conveys. That strain
has been removed by the Nazi
flight and the British can now
make somewhat better disposition
of their naval forces in the Allan
tic, as Churchill drew the picture
for parliament.
Nevertheless, the dash from
Brest synchronized too closely with
the dawning spring campaign sea-
son in all Europe and the Near
and Middle East to escape the
conclusion that it plays some part
in Hitler's major strategy. Just
what that part is to be neither
London nor Washington can yet
know. Churchill banked heavily,
however, on his assurances to par
lament that before the consider
able Nazi naval strength now
massed in German harbors can
be brought into action, new British
and American construction will be
available to deal with it. /
