Join WAAC'S

Three Ely women, the first from this
city, have been enlisted in the
women's army auxiliary corps.
Miss Katherine Buccowich, Miss
Mayme Chernevitz, and Miss Clarice
Kobe have been sworn into the
WAAC's, as the corps is popularity
known, and are now on the reserve
list subject to call to active duty.
When asked to report, the three
will go to Fort Des Moines, Iowa, to
enter a training camp. There they
will find two local soldiers, unless they
are transferred in the meantime, who
are members of the instructors staff.
They are Corp. Hugh Doran and Pvt.
William A. Schiltz.
From the way many local young
women are talking, according to re-
ports, the three represent van
guard of many to follow.
These girls, many of them with hus-
bands, sweethearts, or brothers in the
armed services, want to do something
TO help win the war. With a good
pC1CClltdSC Vi U1lC, ClSAOAC COSoA 70 INV
gone for the duration, the reports
say, Ely's unusually large number of
attractive young ladies find time and
ionesomeness hanging heavy on their
hands.
The women's army auxiliary corps
beckons as a solution to both problems
what to do to bring victory, or to
cure loneliness.
About three weeks ago the three
WAAC reservists now awaiting call to
duty wrote the army recruiting office
at Duluth for application blanks. After
a week of digging up required inform
alton, including the names of three
references, the blanks were completed
and returned to Duluth. Cali of the
references were contacted by the army
indicating the thoroughness given
toward selecting members of the unit.)
Then last week the applicants re-
ceived instruction to report at Fort
Smelling for examination. There three
days in all, the three on the first day
were given mental tests, on the second,
physical checkups, and on the third,
having successfully gotten through the
first two days, were sworn into the
women's army auxiliary corps. All of
their expenses, even the street car
fare, were paid by the army.
Miss ChernevitZ is sister of Mrs.
John Pierce, whose husband is now
taking recruit training in the navy.
She has another sister, Miss Frances
Chernivetz. Miss Buccowich is a
daughter of Paul Buccowich, Sr., and
Miss Kobe is a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Matt Kobe.

In his communication in another
column Andy Johnson OF Embarrass
calls The Miner a "red-baiter" but
thinks this should be forgotten in the
business of winning the war, also
that President Roosevelt disposed of
the matter of second front by stat
ing in his address on Monday night
that a second front would be estab-
lished as soon as he and the military
authorities were ready for it and not
upon the demand of those who have
not studied the situation-a very crit
ical one at present. American men are
now fighting in 80 different fronts
and are giving excellent accounts Of
themselves. A second front will neces-
state, not alone large army of we'll
trained men, but also ornaments and
food supplies. This will require large
number of conveys in order to trans
port men and supplies across in order
to buck up against the ruthless hordes
of millions under the nominations of
Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito, all
bent on wiping the democratic nations
off the face of the earth. Let men
schooled in war handle the second
front.

Pete, Zgonc Ahead in
Commissioner Race
AhOLd Loses in Bid for
Nomination by 81
Vote Margin.
PRECINCT VOTE.
City of Ely.

Jacob L. Pete, incumbent, will be
opposed by Frank zgonc for fourth
district commissioner in the general
election Nov. 8.
Zgonc won place on the ticket by
nosing out Toimf Ahola in the pri-
mary election Tuesday by 81 votes.
Pete had a majority of 564 over zgonc.
After returns were about half in,
Pete forged ahead of the field of five
candidates, and the contest between
zgonc and Ahola developed.
About midnight, with four or five
outlying precincts yet to report zgonc
had 175-vote margin, but yesterday
morning with all but one precinct,
in, Ahola had pulled up to within A
votes of zgonc. Vermilion Dam, report
ing at noon, went heavily for the Ely
alderman, trimming zgonc'S majority
to 81 votes.
Senator Joseph H. Ball and Cover
nor Harold E. Stassen easily carried
the city of Ely in their bids for re-
nomination on the Republican ticket.
c. Elmer Anderson, sans the en-
dorsement of the governor, had a AZ
vote lead over Ed Thye, favored by
the states chief executive. Other in
cumbent state officers piled up COM
leads.
Elmer A. Benson, former U. S.
senator, was heavily endorsed by local
Farmer-Laborite voters. Hjalmar Pet
erson had sizeable lead over Paul A.
Rasmussen for governor, while Juls
j. Anderson was given the nod for
lieutenant governor.
The number of consolidated pri-
mary ballots spoiled was astonish-
ing. An estimated 526 were thrown
lot by voting for candidates under
more than one party ticket.
The exact number of spoiled consol-
idated ballots is not available because
the fourth precinct election officials
failed to record this figure In the
first precinct there were 103 spoiled,
second, 70; third, 81; fourth, 100 esti-
mated; fifth, 40, and sixth, 148
These spoiled ballots had no effect
on the commissioner race, since can
didates for this Office were listed on
the small non-partisan ballot.
Thirty persons applied for absentee
ballots, and 10 returned their ballots.
Thirteen of this number were service
men.
The election returns will be can
vassed by the county board Of COM

possibility of shutdowns in both steel
mills and manufacturing plants due to
the lack of raw materials, it is vital
that Ely, and every other community
IN the country, conduct a relentless
program of scrap collection.
Moreover the "housecleaning" given
the property in the city can aid in
beautifying the home as well as help
ing win the war.
From hooks and crannies, from
under work benches, from drawers and
lockers, from the woodshed, from the
garage, from the vacant lot-from ell
these places must come metal articles
no longer of use to be converted into
scrap.
The collection of junk gives John
O. Citizen on the home front an on
portunity to contribute something vital
toward the winning of the war.

ELYS RALLY DAY SATURDAY..
Throw Your Junk Into the Scrap'

Ely's "battle of the home front"
designed to uncover every remaining
piece of scrap metal and old rubber
left in the city will come to climax
Saturday when Boy Scouts of the city
will conduct Junk rally" day.
On this day they will tour the en-
tire city and collect contributions of
"junk thrown into the scrap" for
victory.
Residents of the city are asked to
pile old metal in their back yards
where it can be seen plainly from the
alley, Trucks will tour the city and
pick up the junk.
The material should not be put out
until Saturday morning, however, so
that contributors can be assured that
it will get into proper hands.
This week the nation was warned by
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1942-09-10

Donald M. Nelson, WPB chairman,
that war production will be curtailed
unless more scrap metal becomes
available for the making of steel
That's why Elys Junk rally Sat
urday is so important.
That's why every family should go
over its property once again and dig
up every old pan, hot water heater,
stove, auto chassis, etc., to be turned
over to the production of war mate
rails.
That's why persons having mate
rial that could be salvaged for scrap
but who have been holding back"
for reasons best known to themselves
should "give in" and get that strate-
gic old metal into useful service for
their country.

ton at top speed, and to rule out the

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

A very necessary adjunct to vot-
ing the three PARTED primary ballot in
the future will be a course in instruc-
ton in the matter of voting. Although
the rules were printed at the head of
each ballot stating that the voter is
not to browse around among the
several party ballots but to cenfine his
voting to one or lose his vote on the
entire ballot, the results show that in
Ely 526 votes were spoiled and lost by
voting names on the three columned
ticket. Added to this was 60 lost in
the Town of Morse out of a total of
less than 800 ballots cast. The figures
show that Is per cent of the voters
in this section did not know how to
vote. If the same ratio holds through
out the state, the loss in balloting be-
comes apparent and might change the
result in the nomination of candidates
on the Republican, Farmer-Labor or
Democratic ticket.
