Constitutional Amendment
Would Permit Use of
State Funds.

The improvement of Ely's
flying field will probably have
to be done as a postwar pro-
ject, according to information
secured by A. o. Knutson, city
clerk.
Federal aid for airport i'm
provement or construction is
granted now only upon the
specific request of the army.
State aid may become available If
the voters act favorably on a con-
stitutional amendment at the next
general election and the legislature
appropriates the money.
L. L. Schroeder, commissioner OF the
Minnesota department of aeronautlcs,
in a letter just received by Clerk
Knutson, said that with respect 60
federal funds, no airports are now be-
ing constructed by the CAA or any
other division of the federal govern
ment, except on specific request Of the
army, and these airports are built only
where they are of military importance
or otherwise necessary for the army or
navy"
Mr. Schroeder pointed out that his
department was planning an eirways
system for the entire state, and that
under the constitution the state could
not expend funds on local projects.
''The last legislature, he said, "ap-
propriated $4,000 to the state depart
ment of aeronautics to be used IN
planning an airways system Tor the
state. The amount is limited so the
amount of aid given any one commun-
ity likewise VIII be limited. Pertinent
information VIII be prepared after
July l, when the appropriation be-
comes available"
The last Legislature" he said, -en-
acted bill providing that the mat
ter Of expenditure of state funds on
construction or airports shall be sub
mftted to the voters in the form OF a
constitutional amendment at the next
general election. IF the amendment Is
passed and if the legislature appro-
PIRATES the funds, the state will be IN
a position to assist communities In
building airports."
Knutson was instructed by the city
council to find out If federal funds for
airport construction or improvement
were available, after Alderman VIII
liam r. Harri had emphasized that
Ely should have adequate airport
facilities for postwar use.
A communication from Rep. william
A. Pittenger states that "Ey's air
port was not recommended for finan-
cial aid by the war department In a
recent survey, because its development
is not essential to the war emergency"
One from Senator Joseph II. Bah
said that "the construction and COM
pletion of airports Will be given con-
sideration in our postwar plans"
An answer to an inquiry sent TO the
civil aeronautics authority In Wash
ington is being awaited.

Skill, Not Dependency
Basis for Deferments

Workers of military age who
are employed in industries vital
to the war effort are being de-
ferred on the basis of their
skill and Importance to that in
dustry, with dependency being
of lesser consideration, accord
ing to information obtained by
The Miner from the state head
quarters of selective service.
"Occupational competence Is more
and more becoming the basis for
deferment as against a dependency
status" according to Col Norman ID.
Dean, state adviser on occupationai
deferments.
The dominating factor in deferment
or IN replacing time on a schedule" :"
Colonel Dean said, "is the individuals
ability to produce with his hands or
his mind-whether it be ore, guns,
ships, quartermaster supplies, or any
munition or article used in the war
production program or in support Of
the war effort.
"A factor which seems to have been
almost entirely overlooked IN under
standing the situation is that all steps
are being taken which viii reduce the
necessity to induct men with families

the induction Of such men Will be en-
tirely eliminated0
Skill, and not years OF service in an
industry vital to the war effort, Will
determine a workers eligibility for de-
ferment and the placing Of the works
name on a replacement schedule, he
said.
To illustrate" Colonel Dean said,
"a single man may be power shovel
operator with six to ten years Of ex-
perience. Such a man, even though Of
military age, falls within the intent
of the regulations and policies as
eligible for deferment
There may be a married man with
wife only having the same service but
who is capable only Of common or
semi-skilled labor. He is not a re-
placement.

Parents asked

A plea for cooperation on the part
of both parents and youngsters in us

any infraction of the rules, do not
hesitate to warn the offender" Mr..
Modin states Remember, it's your
program too"
Here are the beach rules:

been estimated that the same
amount of protein as in meat can
be raised from soybeans at about
one-tenth the cost.
Other high protein foods include
white, navy and kidney beans; black
peas, peanuts and peanut butter.
Peanuts never have been taken very
seriously except at ball games may
be, but with the emphasis on their
decided food value and the indus
trial use for their oil, they have come
into extensive cultivation in the
South.
Nutritionists have been careful not
to put all of their eggs in one basket,
however.
While pointing out the food value
OF vegetables, one expert explains:
a.. 'Ersatz' dishes of beans, peas,
lentils and the like are foods having
lower biologic value than meat it.
self. They are sometimes referred
to as meat substitutes, and they
are useful, but one should make GER
tain that milk, eggs and cheese are
included in the menu to furnish bio
logic values similar to meat, chicken
and fish,"
To obtain balance in diet for
necessary nutrition, another expert
steps to the head of the class with
the suggestion that milk, leafy green
or yellow vegetables, potatoes, cit
rus fruits, tomatoes, whole grain or
enriched cereals, meat or meat al
ternates and occasionally an egg be
included in the days meals.
Meats Also Have Vitamins.
This expert had in mind the fact
that besides protein, meats also pos
sess vitamins and minerals; so that
in finding protein substitutes, it is
also necessary to supply vitamin
supplements.
Vitamin 81 and vitamins BE- and
G are present in meat, chiefly in
pork. To make up for any losses,
whole wheat bread, enriched bread
or cereals and milk may be eaten
instead.

Diets of many industrial workers

Nutritionists figure that the noon

TRAINING:
For Postwar Youth

The idea that the youth Of Amer
lea, making use of industrial plants
and military camps might well give
a years service to their government
in the postwar era was advanced
by President Roosevelt.
Declaring that his recent inspec-
ton trip of war activities had con-
WINGED him that the armed forces
and the home front factories are
in their stride, the President said
he was wondering what could be
done after victory is won, with
camps and plants in which millions
have been invested. While he had no
specific program to offer, he empha-
sized the benefits in physical condi-
ton and mental alertness that men
and women in service and war-work-
er uniforms had realized in the last
few months. He indicated he thought
their training should be extended to
all young men and women in some
form after we win the war.
Any program that might develop,
he said, probably would be only part
ly military.
