COLLECT TON
COOKING FATS

Results of the opening four weeks of
Ely's drive for the collection of tin
cans, salvaged fats, and old silk, nylon
and rayon stockings have been an
nounced.
Cooking fats lead in total weight,
with 1900 pounds turned in to meat
dealers, Louis Champa, salvage chair
man of the local civilian defense coun-
Gil, states. Housewives are paid cents
per pound for the fats by the butchers,
who turns them over to packing houses
who in turn send them on to the gov
eminent for the manufacture of ex-
plosives.
One thousand pounds Of tin cans
have been turned in to grocery stores
by patriotic housewives, Champa said.
A Coca Cola truck transports them to
Virginia on the first leg of their trip
to de-tinning plant. Fifteen stores
are acting as collection centers. The
American Red Cross receives all funds
accruing from the disposal of the cans.
Two hundred pounds of stockings
have been contributed, Mrs. M. j.
Fleming, who as head Of the Victory
Aides is in charge of this campaign,
reports. The socks are packed into 100
pound bundles and sent directly to a
government plant at Green Island, NJ
Y, where they are paid for at the rate
of cent per pound. Freight charges
are deducted from this sum and the
remainder goes to the American Red
Cross.
Champa also said that 160 tons Of
iron had been shipped from Ely's
salvage depot on the west edge of the
city.

Remember Pearl Harbor

Many letters received from soldiers
the past weeks, all speak highly of
toe achievement of sending The Ely
Miner to us in the several camps of
the country and to all parts Of the
continents where we are located"
Further they say, I'VE get news from
our home town it is impossible to get
in letters from home. But don't stop
writing letters on this account" One
of the boys with keen perception
also stated that every copy is read
from the first page to the last anr is
then passed around among the boys
in the barracks who also enjoy the
paper Another thing this soldier said
was that he read the page wherein a
few weeks ago, local merchants adver-
tised appropriate gifts for service men
and that he had received some Of the
very gifts advertised. I'VE will rem
member these places that keep their
names before us and by their patron
age are making it possible to keep
the paper coming, for We know that
without advertising revenue, the paper,
as well as other papers, cannot exist.
We will remember our friends when we
return home" Such words make the
Miner force feel good and we sincerely
thank the writer.

Don't Be a Hoarder.

Following the kicks that have gone
out from many cities and towns in the
state of official winking by enforce
ment officers at vice conditions, Gov
ernor Stassen has sent general notice
to enforce the laws. Governor Stas-
sen also stated in his letter that
should local officers not have
the backbone to carry this out, the
state would step in and see that liquor
and vice conditions were remedied
The kicks were brought on by the
actions of the licensed places in allow
ing the very young to frequent their
places of business and of selling hard
liquor on beer license in direct oppo-
sition to the licensed on-sale places
who paid their good money for the
privilege. Already the governors

Why Saue Old Hosiery, Tin Cans
.OLD HOSIERY

Ely women are being requested to
leave all worn silk, rayon, and nylos1
hosiery at stores now selling womep's
hosiery. The unusable hosiery should
be washed before turning it in, and
It's collection is a continuous PROPOSE
t1on.
Following are questions and answers
explaining the use to which the hosj,
cry will be put:
@. For what will silk be used?
A. For the manufacture Of powder
bags.
@. What are powder bags?
A. They are used by the armed serv-
ices and are woven silk bags into which
charges of powder are placed for gen.
Grating the power required to expel
a smell from guns of major calibre.
They are placed in the breech Of The
gun. A fuse, attached, is ignited to
cause the explosion that expels the
she'll
Q. Can only silk be used for powder
bags?
A. Yes. Silk alone burns completely
and leaves no hot embers. This makes
possible recharging guns with greater
speed than if each gun had to be
cleaned before new charge was in
serted.
@. Why can't nylon be used for
powder bagsP
"A. Because heat to nylon results in
a giimmy substances and will not burn
completely. 1t melts rather than iginies.
O.. For what is nylon used?
A. Nylon is used for the nnanufac-
ture of other important war materials.
@. Does the retailer make any pro-
fit from the collection Of this hosiery?
A. No. The hosiery is donated by
women for delivery through the re-
taller to the Government agency

CANS

One Of the most important contri-
buttons that Ely families can make to
the war effort Is to turn in their old
tin cans to their grocers The cans
should be properly prepared by wash
ing and flattening them, or the grocer
may refuse to accept them.
Most of our TIM per cent-formerly
came from Malaga and the Netherlands
East Indies. These imports are now
cut off. Some tin ore is imported from
Bolivia, but not nearly enough tin ore
can be obtained from that source to
meet our needs. Last year we used 1OO,-
600 tons Of tin in the United States
and produced A tons-in Alaska. Our
largest domestic source of tin is the
lowly tin can.
It is because of the urgent need for
tin that the tin can collection has
now been extended Statewide and
Nationwide, to all areas, both urban
and rural.
There is no known substitute for tin.
1t Is used in alloys, In babbitt metal,
In soldiers, as a coating for food cans,
etc. The tin can contains. just slightly
over per cent tin, the balance Of the
can being thin sheet steel. Since War
Production Board orders prohibit the
use Of tin coated scrap in the manu-
facture of steel, there has been no
method Of salvaging tin cans In most
areas in the past. The capacity Of
the detinning plants has now been in
creased and all clean, prepared tin cans
are now In demand. After the tin coat
ing is removed by the detinning pro-
cess the remaining steel Is baled and
used for making Steel, thereby addtns
many hundreds of tons of steel scrap
to the amount required to keep our
steel mills operating at capacity.
Housewives are asked to save and

Council Takes
Office Tuesday,
A appointment of TlcO Nelc
Aldermen is Scheduled
for Initial Session.

Ely's new council will hold
its first formal session Tuesday
night at 7:30 o'clock, when it
will assume control of the city
government-for the year.
1t appears likely that the
vacancy created by the resig-
nation of Toimi Ahola, new
fourth district commissioner,
will be filled at this meeting.
It is probable that the office
of alderman held by John N.
MAXI will be declared vacated,
and will also be filled.
Members, Of the new council in
clude Mayor John Kapsch and Al
derman, Edward z. PHthan who
were reelected, Aldermen Joseph
Klun, Jr., and william r Haxri, who
/ win be serving their first terms, and
Alderman Joseph Kochak, the
single hoIdovr member.
The two new members who must be
appointed win complete the member
ship of the city governing body. They
win serve until the next city election
at which time their terms will expire.
The council recently directed the city
clerk to wire Maxi to state what he
intends to do In regard to his office.
Two days after the wire was sent the
clerk received a letter from Maxi, pre-
sumably employed in Greenland on q
defense project, asking what the coun-
Gil had done about "his vacancy" The
letter was mailed Oct. Is and was re-
cevied here Dec. Is.
II the new council interprets the his
vacancy" terminology used by Maxi as
indicating that he considers he no
longer holds office, then his successor
will undoubtedly be selected Tuesday
night. The council, however, might
choose to wait until direct word is re-
ceived In reply to the telegram. This
word may be some time IN coming.
The city clerk directed Maki's tele-
gram to his company In New York City.
The firm has informed the clerk that
the message is being transmitted BY
air mail, and that, because this serv-
ice Is indefinite. It may be some time
before an answer can be expected.
While this situation Is somewhat
confused, the status Of the retiring
council is also muddled.
Alderman Gust r. Anderson, who
Will retire from his position Jan. 4, Is
leaving the city today for employment
on defense project at Hastings, Neb
This leaves the present city govern
ing body without a quorum, so the
final business affairs of the city can
not be transacted at a final meeting
customarily held on the day before the
the new council takes over.
The new council will be called upon
to dispose Of this as first item Of
business Tuesday night.
1t appears that the new council has
full slate Of business for the opening
session without appointing department
heads and completing other organiza-
ton work. This will have to be carried
over to an adjourned session which will
probably be conducted on the follow
ing Thursday night If the customary
procedure Is followed.

Legion Post to
Get CCC Camp
Facilities at GegOkd to be
Developed as Summer
RecreatiOnaL Area.

Orders have been approved
to effect the transfer of the
former Gegoka CCC camp tt
the Frank Lozar post of the
American Legion.
This information has just
been received here from M. A.
Stephens, executive assistant
to the director of the civilian
conservation corps in Washing
ton. No details were given.
The approval of the transfer eli
makes six months of work by the
post to secure the site for use as
picnic and camp grounds.
According to Ray Hoefler, post ad-
jutant, the communication from Mr..
Stephens said simply that "orders had
been approved to effect the transfer
as requested"
The terms of the transfer are ex-
pected to be received here within a
short time.
The U. S. forest service had been
negotiating with the CCC to secure
use of some of the buildings at the
camp for the storage of equipment. An
agreement will be worked out with the
forest service by the local legion post
to provide this space, Hoefler said.
The camp facilities will be used for
post picnics and they will also be
available to local organizations, ac-
cording to Hoefler. Local Boy Scout
troops and youth organizations may
use the camp.
An effort will be made to have
the state highway safety patrol camp
which has been located at Brainerd
transferred to Gegoka.
Picnic, camping, swimming and rec
recational facilities at the camp will
provide Ely with an ideal summer
playground spot. 1t is located on the
shore of McDougal lake. Recreational
facilities include sand beach and a
baseball diamond. The camp is 80 miles
south Of Ely on state highway No. /.

War Bonds viii Bring Victory.

An effort will be made this winter
to have the legislature boost the old
age pensions. Close figuring by an
expert shows that it costs s7400 for
absolute necessities such as clothes,
shoes and other wearing apparel for a
year, or $617 per month. Then there
is board, room rent, laundry, dentist
and doctor bills, barber shop and baths,
etc. The total amount needed for
these essentials is $6092 per month.
