Senta's letter, sent via V-mail, was
exactly two weeks in reaching Ely, and
that of Morley's required several days
longer
There was no mention of military
affairs in any of the letters. but there
was much emphasis on the miserable
weather.
Morley, former commander of the
Gegoka CCC camp now turned over to
the Frank Lozar post of the American
Legion, said that "the people seem very
friendly and happy about the change.

cording to action taken by the

phasized the dangerous situation ex-
isting with unrestricted sliding, and
said that other range cities were elm
mating the hazard by restricting slid
ing to- designated streets.
A truck owner has asked the city

. vehicle destroyed by fire as the re-
suit of an unusual accident.

ferred to the city attorney, superin-
tendent Of the water and light de-
.partment and street commissioner.

ing out that the city garage mechanic
was on duty during the hours that the

downs. A lengthy discussion Of his
proposal ensued, but no action was
taken. Alderman Koschak said the
mechanic worked extra hours when
ever the occasion demanded.

It appeared unlikely, how
ever, that last years shortage
of licenses as the season open

At midweek ammunition was
still available at some local
stores, which had not decided
how they would ration the
stock on hand. Several other
firms had limited five shells to
a customer, quickly disposing
of the allotment received.
