The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1942-07-02

An officer of the U. s. army is in
Ely perfecting a system of air raid
spotting which will place this entire
territory on the alert.
1t. Clarence D. Hanson, who is
from the headquarters for auxiliary
service located in the Minneapolis
armory, met last night with a group
of local persons to discuss the air
raid spotting system.
Frank Schweiger is director of the
system in the fourth commissioners
district. Schweiger will select chief
observers, who in turn will name
alternates.
The system calls for observers in
every township, but in sparcely settled
areas here this will be impossible.
Forest service fire towermen will be
worked into the system during the
summer months the lookouts are on
duty.

OLD SOL IS, TOO

The government isn't the only one
putting the heat on your tires.
Old Sol is too, but the government
is trying to save the rubber for you
and the hot summer months are de-
stroying it.
Motorists are warned that during
periods of hot weather tires are more
subject to wear than during cool
weather. Careful and slow driving will
keep tire temperatures down during
a hot spell.
Tire treads wear twice as fast in
an outside temperature of 80 degrees
as at 60 degrees. Slow driving will
reduce the wear. Pavement, heated
I'D considerably during the warm
weather, bakes the life out OF tire
fabrics, makes bruising easy and blow
outs imminent.
During heat spell, automobile tires
develop temperatures as high as 23C
degrees when driven fast. They bruise
twice as easily at this time. Speeding
and careless driving during hot days

A writer in the Voice OF the People
in the Duluth News-Tribune signing
himself "Patriot" opened up sub
iect Friday which he terms delicate
matter but someone must tackle IL
sooner or later. He says that the
war has made necessary a great many
meetings, luncheons, study courses,
conferences and the like. These have
resulted in a great many speeches.,
lectures, explanations and discussions.
About one in ten Of these is OF
reasonable shortness. The other nine
are a trial of the public's patience
and interest. People will bleed, burn
and die for their country, but there
is a limit to the amount of time and
attention they can give to overlong
speeches. To begin with, it is doubt
full if the average audience can alb
sorb more ideas from any one speaker
than he can give in ten minutes. Any
thing after that is waste, and worse

ing to himself"
ct have read of mirages many
times, and now have seen quite a
few" he says.
"We'd be riding along in combat
formation when all of sudden a large
and shimmering LAKE would appear
on the horizon. After riding a few
more miles we would lose it and find
it was only mirage. 1t is all very
confusing.
Being the supply sergeant keeps
me and my vehicle in the rear of
the formation with the wreckers to
supply any parts or equipment needed.
We get lot of dust back there.
"In our battalion of 100 vehicles
we've had no breakdowns in two
weeks of strenuous maneuvering. This
is really a credit to the mechanics
who are very skilled in their type of
work. Most of them have been in the
army only a little over a year, as
have I, and have learned all they
know in the army schools"
Janezich started his training at a
second line" desert in Antelope
Valley, Calf, for more arduous work
to come.
"I'm writing in the shade of a
pup tent" he told The Miner. "Our
division is one picked to learn the
art of desert warfare. We are get
ting two weeks of orientation, and
then will be sent to the Mojave desert
for several months to round up our
training.
"The heat here is terrific during
the daytime. There isn't tree in
sight, and only an occasional farm
house in the far distance has a few
Scraggly pepper trees. The only shade
is that created by our pup tents or

Buy and Keep Defense Bonds

If you don't drive your car, you
will conserve rubber. This is a cinch
admitted by the government who with
its rules and rationing has almost
made it a necessity to quit driving as
a very necessary war measure. Those
compelled to drive wonder when
authorities will wake up and stop
ieopardizing tires by putting out OF
commission the gink who drops his
empty bottle on the pavement and
filters the streets with broken glass?

Government is Not Alone
in Putting Heat on Tires

will take months out of the life of
tires.
On an extremely hot day, the
temperature inside tire that is
moved fast can reach 285 degrees.
Such heat will wear it out four
times faster than in winter weather.
Parking of automobiles during hot
days should be in the shade, officials
recommended. Tires, gasoline and car
finish are saved by this practice.
Statistics show that 20 per cent
more tires fail in July than in Janu-
airy. It's the heat that does it-heat
and fast driving that further in
creased the temperature of the tires.
Heat waves bring blowout weather.
Keep your tires carefully checked for
air pressure. During hot weather,
tires can be preserved if cooled of
with a garden hose, driven slowly and
carefully and kept properly inflated.
Don't cook tires on broiling pave
ment. They can't be replaced.

Remember Pearl Harbor

By breaking a 80 to 80 tie vote
Friday, Vice President Wallace cast
the deciding ballot that kept the CCC
in the appropriation bill to the amount
of $76,529,O 900. From yesterdays news
dispatches it is learned that the
House again turned down the CCC
and in all probability the original
order abolishing the camps will stand.
The retention of the Civilian Con-
servation Corps in this section Of the
country is hoped for on the part of a
large share of the citizens, although
it costs some money. In the matter
of fire protection alone, the CCC
camps have saved their keep in the
prompt manner in which fires were
squelched, according to the U. S. forest
service. The fire situation, covering a
large part of the savings in prevent
ing the loss of timber and timber
products by the efficiency of the boys
in the camps and their efficient sup
errors is a prime factor in the work
of the CCC. Besides this valuable
conservation result, tree planting, and
erosion prevention has also saved
countless amounts for the national
forests of the country and agricul-
tural sections.
To carry on the work the CCC
authority has built camps for feed
ing, housing, training and entertain
ment of the enrollees. The results of
the excellent surroundings is very
noticeable in the morale of the young
men leaving the camps. The training
in the arts and crafts given them is
nnirrored in their gentlemanly bearing
and the ease with which enrollees are
indicted into the army on volun-
tary basis and their rapid subsequent
promotions. While not operated on a
military basis the camps have been
conducted with disciplinary precision
The education received has been OF
immense benefit and with the strict
supervision has accounted for race
of men fitted to take their place in
the world.
We hope that the camps continue
but should the government decide tc
abolish this valuable work and camp
sites, what we suggested a week age
still holds good. Save the camps ano
their healthful surroundings for rest
spots for our returning soldiers. Should
this not be acceptable and impos-
sible, turn them over to the Boy
Scouts or other social activities. Dom
destroy the valuable plants.
