"I'll have a lot of hot
stories to tell when / get
back" Maxi said.

At least one Elyite, and per-
haps several others, was in
Whitehorse, Yukon Territory,
when the U. S.-Alaska high
way was officially opened last
week.
Ben P. Johnson is employed
on what presumably is a de-
fense project at Whitehorse,
located not far from the Arctic
circle and one of the principal
points on this vital transporta-
ton link in the defense of
North America.
Actual dedicatory ceremonies fol
highway were conducted Friday 25C
miles north of the goldrush settlement
of Whitehorse, where on previously
isolated Kluane lake the last barrier
to the transport trucks of the U. S
army was removed.
Two Ely soldiers helped construct
the road, a job began last winter
and tagged greater accomplish
ment than digging the Panama
canal.
They are Pfc. Frank j. Marolt, 6
member of the army engineers, ant

is still stationed somewhere in thi!
far north country. Lankinen is at tht
home of his parents in this city or

While working near Whitehorse thi
spring, Marolt is credited with rescu
ing two stranded flyers forced dowr
in the Canadian wilderness. Marol

Buy War Bonds and Stamps

The state canvasSing board an
nounced last week that both Consti-
tutional Amendments voted on at the
Nov. 8 election had passed. Amend
ment No. l related to reduction in
the rates of interest in certain Of the
states permanent trust funds invested
in the bonds of any county, city, vii
lage, town or school district from three
per cent to two per cent per annum
Amendment No. 2 permits publication
of amendments to home rule charters
in a local newspaper for four issues
instead of in three newspapers of gen.
eral circulation. AS the majority OF
towns do not have three newspapers
the publication in one newspaper
makes it easier and cheaper on cities
changing their charters. The news
papers of the state are credited largely
with the success of the passage of the
amendments.

Buy Defense Bonds and Stamps

c. w. Moore of the Great North
ern Railway in his "Scrappy Scrap
Talk" asking for scrap a few weeks
ago, spoke as follows: "It was common
knowledge that Japan, with the official
sanction of the American government,
had been buying for many years tre-
mendous quantities of scrap steel and
iron from this country. SO, let's ad-
NIT that we led with our chinS, and
than let's forget about it without re-
examinations! There is no need for
national shame on that score, any
more than Americans should regret
the contribution of millions of un-
selfish dollars to Japan when earth
quakeS ravaged her. But, there will
be a reason for national shame if the
urgent need for scrap metals with
which to answer Japan and her gang
ster-nation cohorts is a failure"

film "The Pride of the Yankees"
which is featured at the State
