promptly put in the Az class. His
pal, up for a physical the next day,
decided to borrow the truss and when
asked how long he had worn it he re-
piled, Five years" He was promptly
slated for 81. When he demonstrated,
the doc said, "That means you viii be
IN Italy in six weeks. Anybody who
can wear truss upside down for five
years can certainly ride a jeep."

Through the persistency and logic
presented by Arthur E. Strand, county
superintendent of schools, the Office
of Defense Transportation has modi-
fled its ruling relating to the opera
ton of school buses. The pupils of
rural schools had been ordered to walk
up to two miles by the ODT, but
Superintendent Strand secured cor
cession of the distance to three-fourths
of mile from their homes to the
school bus trunk routes, and no pupils
in the fourth grade or below who are
not accompanied by older children
shall be required to walk more than
one-half mile from their homes to
meet the buses. The new rules be-
came effective Nov. l. Superintendent
Strand states that in this connection
whole hearted cooperation was given
him by Director Tom Adams of Du-
luth and Harry Gormley of Chicago.

Grove Wills over in Eveleth says in
his Clarion: DO not complain if this
or that organization is not carrying
out important duties for the commun-
ity. The way to do it is to join up
and bring your suggestions with you.
Criticism doesn't amount to anything
unless individuals try to do something
about things they think are faulty"

John Clifford Folger, smalltowner,
was elected president of the Investment
Bankers Association of the United
States In his talk after being chosen,
he said, "I want to get back to the
old concept of the dollar-a coin hard
to get, hard to keep, and, If borrowed,
hard to pay back" He sees IN the
war bond purchases the best savings
plan and the capital needed to finance
business reconversion and expansion
following the war. He disagrees with
the idea that social security for all is
the way to Utopia We've got to keep
and encourage the war bond thrift
habit instead" he said. Because of
that kind of thrift, we are building
up today a postwar investment era
that is going to be the greatest in
history" Besides it is helping the gov
ernment to wage successful war.
Are you buying bonds to keep your
skirts clear on the honor roll and then
selling them at the first opportunity,
or are you buying them for an invest
ment and to bolster the greatest saw
tngs in history" of which Mr.. Folger
speaks?

We attended the funeral OF Jim
Early at Hibbing Saturday and were
struck with the loss to the community
his passing had occasioned. Every
walk in life, every business place,
every civic and fraternal organization
in the city and many from all parts OF
the state were present to pay their
last respects to one who was in the
forefront of all that was good in the
scheme of things on the ranges and
in st. Louis county. Jim will be missed
and as one editor said, "the Arrowhead
viii never be the same without Jim
Early"
