CITY ACTS TO
HELP Defense

An ordinance for civilian defense
and protection of public safety in the
city during war emergencies was en-
acted by the city council Tuesday
evening.
The ordinance controls traffic and
lights during blackouts, and gives
special authority to volunteer firemen,
policemen, and air raid wardens under
certain conditions.
1t is effective only during the pre-
sent emergency and does not become
permanent part of the city govern
ment. 1t is printed in full on the
back page of this issue.
The public road administration Ger
titled the application for 1000 gall
Ions of asphalt, 35 per cent of the
10000 gallons requested for street
work. Taylor & Taylor, Duluth, will
not be asked what it will apply the
smaller amount for. The firm had
been given a contract for the total.
The Ely Community Fair was granted
an additional 500 through the Com
AARSANAeNl S1IAO, l1du 1OUIlO IL
necessary to trim this amount from
the fair budget because the clubs
appropriation had been reduced. The
salary of Arthur Zerahn, city chemist,
was increased from $50 to $85 per
month.
An inventory of present city equip
ment will be taken before acting on
Fire Chief I. G.. Cox's request for
heavy duty truck equipped for a ten
man rescue squad, three trucks for
fire hose and ladders, and the creation
of three depots for two fire trucks
and squad truck.
The city has an average of 5000
monthly to meet expenses for the
remainder of the year, Clerk A. o.
Knutson reported
Primary election judges were named.
The council adjourned until Friday
night at o'clock, at which time labor
matters will be discussed.

PITTENGER
SAYS
BY Rep. william A. Pittenger.

Administration leaders have agreed
upon three day recesseS and this pro-
gram will probably be continued dur
ing August. Having been away from
Minnesota most of the time since
1899, I plan to spend this recess in
the District. My Office in the nations
capitol will not be closed and if there
are any matters of a congressional
nature, write or wire me at Room 244,
Old House Office Bldg, Washington,
D. c., and my secretary will give your
inquiry prompt attention. I shall, Of
course, be glad to discuss with every
one problems in which they are di-
rectly interested while I am back in
Minnesota but departmental inquiries
can be expedited by writing me direct
at Washington.
WARTIME DEVELOPMENTS This
country is at war. I consider it my
duty as your representative to sup
port all legislation which will help the
armed forces of the United States.
The question as to what should be
done in the winning of the war rests
upon the army, navy and other
agencies of the government. I have
supported and will continue to sup
port those agencies to the limit
On the other hand, I feel that the
American people are entitled to full
information from government agencies
in connection with our domestic prob
lens. We have many problems where
every individual in America is affected
by Government rules and regulations.
shall expect to criticize those rules
and regulations and point out mistakes
where administrative officials proceed
along wrong lines.
Perhaps the most critical condition
has to do with the rubber shortage.
Without automobile tires, almost every
person in this country is going to be
faced with transportation problems
which will result in grave damage to
different localities Our whole econ
onlic life has been built up around
motor vehicle method of tranSporta-
ton. Without automobiles and trucks,
the American people are not going to
be able to cooperate in full measure
with the world war effort now in pro-
gress. shall vigorously insist that adj
ministration agencies meet this pro-
blem promptly and efficiently.

ELY BASEBALL TEAM TO END
SEASON AT HIBBING AUG. is
NO BLACKTOP FOR
ELY-BUYCK ROAD,

Because of the federal restrictions
on the use of asphalt, portion of
the Ely-Buyck road and the Tower
hatchery road cannot be blacktopped
this year as planned, Jacob L. Pete,
fourth district commissioner, says. The
bureau of public roads would not ap-
prove these jobs, Pete said.
The bureau approved seal coating
the Ely-Winton road and blacktopping
about half a mile of the Grant Nc
Mahan boulevard which has been re-
constructed.
The Echo trail project had included
blacktopping about three miles from
the Grant McMahan boulevard to
BURNSIDE lake.

have fastened themselves to the ship
of state, the politicians bent upon
perpetuating themselves in power and
the handout brigade avid for con-
tinued unearned pay-checks realize
their ambition to secure fourth
term for the man in the White House?
With the people generally as apathetic
as they have shown themselves to be
of late, such a catastrophe seems
unacceptable.

WHAT OTHERS SAY |

TWO Harbors Chronicle-Joseph B.
Eastman, coordinator of Transports
ton, has requested the suspension of
county and state fairs for the dura-
ton, but the race tracks draw UMPIRE
cedented attendances. The man or
woman who bets on horse race is
a sucker, for the mutual or bookle
takes six to ten per cent OF every
wager. The urge to gamble is inner
ent in nearly every human, as is
atteSted by the fact that many
churches operate bingo games. Women,
especially, will crowd each other for
the privilege of putting their money
in a slot machine fixed for 2 to 80
chance against winning. A national
lottery, operated on the square would
satisfy that urge and would bring the
government more revenue than is
harvested from beer and cigarettes.
Most of the Latin-American countries
finance their relief and charities with
national lotteries, and the operation
of a U. S. lottery would relieve the
authorities Of the burden of vigilance

the tickets of which are forgeries.
Eveleth Clarion-If there is any
thing to the news report that some
firms and individuals are capitalizing
on the scrap rubber being collected
throughout that nation for the bene-
fit of the government, and making
huge profits on the handling of this
vital material, then it is disgrace
and calls for the severest penalty.
This nefarious practice can be placed
in the same category as when high
salaries are paid labor and huge
profits to industry with the money
poor children scrape up to purchase
defense stamps.
Argyle Banner-Nero fiddled while
Rome burned. Half a million unneeded
federal highly-paid employees, pres
sure groups, log-rolling congressman,
greedy contractors, labor racketeers
and something like ten million bene-
ficiaries of the New Deals alphabet

ridden nation today. Nero said he
found Rome in brick and left it in
the marble, but what will We have left

he stuck firmly to his point that to
toss overheard what has been done so
far would simply delay the whole
program for months. Any experienced
production executive will back up
Nelson's statement that a new pro-
gram of this magnitude simply cannot
be changed every time some more
promising process bobs up without de-
laying results for months.
AS matter of fact, tremendous
already have been made
in the process adopted by the govern
ment and more will be made, but
they can be Incorporated in the pro-
gram without delaying final produc-
ton only when they do not involve
too drastic changes in design

Bows to Cook, "a, on Local
Diamond as Misplays Give
Visitors z Runs.

COOK III ESU U1l-o
The Ely baseball team has an open
date this weekend, and will wind up
the season Sunday, Aug. 16, at Hib-
bling.
The Iron Ore Capital encounter
will be Ely's final chance to break into
the win column during the second
round of play in the Range league.
Chisholm, Virginia, Cloquet, and Cook
have all defeated the Vermilion range
club.
Cook was the latest to turn the
trick, whipping the local crew, "a,
on the Ely diamond.
Ely had only one big inning, the
first. Twelve Ely errors gave the
visitors only one earned run, which
would have made the final count 81,
in favor of Ely if only earned runs
were counted.
In the opening, inning, with Cook
ahead by a single run, Joe Novak and
Don Prola singled. Carlo Colombo fol-
lowed this exhibition with a one-bag-
ger which scored Novak and Frank
Lobe followed with a two-bagger that
brought in Prola. Seven men faced
the Cook pitcher, four getting hits
and three striking out to end the
inning.
Elys final run came in the fifth
when Ed Grahek got a free ticket
around the bases on being hit by the
pitcher, a wild pitch, and an error by
the shortstop in attempting to catch
Novak at first.
The visitors scored in all but two
innings, but they never got more than
a single run except in the fifth when
2 came over the plate.
