From somewhere in the Pacific,
Frank Evenocheck, seaman, first class.
wrote his brother, Mayor Michael
Evenocheck of Winton, about a re-
union with two Ely boys.
Had the SURPRISE OF MY LIFE
when I met Eddie Petek and Louis
Garni out here. We talked about Ely
and all the fishing we had missed.
"Garni had a picture of a 30
pound fish which his father Louis
Garni) had caught, and you should
have seen the men get pop-eyed
when they saw it.
The way the men in my company
talk, they are going to Ely TO do a bit
OF fishing after we scrap the JapS."
Another reunion was held in Charles
ton, S. c., because of information OBJ
tanned from The Miner.
Chief Machinist's Mate Vincent

long chat TALKING ABOUT ELY and
telling each other of our experiences

"Army life wouldn't agree with me.
I was stiff for two days after that

X-Ray Project Starts
Wednesday in Schools
Local Workers Complete Plans
Weeks Ahead of Schedule;
Goal, 10000 Coverage.

Completing arrangements
several weeks ahead of sched-
ule, the local x-ray survey COM
mittee is inaugurating the pro-
ject next Wednesday with the
examination of every student
in the schools.
A house toulouse survey of the
city will begin from eight to ten days
later, and an examination of Winton
and the rural territory viii follow.
A talkie-picture on tuberculosis will
be shown at next weeks meetings of
the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, and
other local organizations may book the
film by contracting The Miner.
Ely's hardest working organization,
the Victory Aides, will make prelim-
mary visit to every home in the COM
munity, and members of the organiza-
ton will be the first adults to be X
rayed.
When the school portion OF the pro-
ject is completed, it is planned to have
the mobile unit tour every street in
the city on days and at hours to be
announced in advanced. The unit will
stop in each block and the residents
therein will be x-rayed. About S
minutes are required to make the pic
ture. There is no age limit, and every
one from babies to aged persons will
be included.
The success of the project will be
measured by coming as near to 100
per cent c0verage as possible.
Nothing like this survey, planned to
x-ray every resident of the county, has
been attempted anywhere in the ma
ton. Ely is the first city in the coun-
ty to be checked in total. >a.--.-
At a meeting OF the Victory Aides
Tuesday afternoon, DR.. r. j. Davies,
Nopeming, who is in direct charge OF
the test, and DR.. G. A. Scherer, Du-
luth, county health officer, explained
in detail the purpose OF the project.
ELY may be the starting off place
from which the fight against tuber-
culosis will be won," DR.. Davies en-
phasized.
He said too much importance could
not be placed upon seeing that every
resident of this area is examined.
tuberculosis, DR.. Scherer explained,
is Catching" disease in that it can
be gotten only from person afflicted
with it. It is not hereditary, he said.
BY finding it in an inceptive stage,
he said, complete cures are usually OBJ
tanned within relative short time.

LIKES ELY
"World Traveller" to Settle
Down Here After War.

When B. w. Bud" Anderson, well
known sportsmen in Minnesota, re-
turns from his next mission for the
United States engineers department,
he says he wants to "settle down in
Ely"
Anderson, the top fly and bait caster
in the Minneapolis United Sportmen's
club, did some casting" for lakeshore
property here and acquired a site on
BURNSIDE lake.
In the meantime he travelled, as he
put 1t, "all over Africa, Arabia, Sudan,
Cairo and Palestine" as a technician
for the U. S. engineers. Returning
from overseas last month, he immed-
lately come to Ely, where he says he
'has seen nothing prettier nor better
than the Ely country"
When I return from my next mis-
son, which is to Alaska, and trusting
that the war is over, I intend to settle
down in Ely and not be just another
taxpayer" he said

were employed regularly during the
summer are urged to place their social
security account number cards in a
safe place where thay can be quickly

the student again returns to work, re-
quires considerable time and extra
work for governmental employees, ac-
cording to Ralph W. Boeder, manager
Of the Duluth field office of the social
security board.

to the individuals wage account, which,
in later years, becomes basis for a

Stock Market Edges
Fractions Higher
In Slow Session
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK. Sept. 30.-Stocks
generally held to the recovery track
in today's market without working
up any real speed or covering much
distance.
The better action Of the list in the
latter part OF yesterdays session en-
couraged bidders at the opening, 1t
was felt that the recent retreat,
while rather mild, may have acted
at least as a partial correction of
the early September upswing. Earn
ings prospects accounted for demand
in certain cases. AS in past weeks
the good war news was a neutral in
fiuence. Sentiment was aided by
the sale OF stock exchange seat
for $45,000, up 81 900 from two trans
actions the day before.
Dealings picked up at intervals
although slow periods were plenti-
full. Fractional plus marks predom-
mated near the close. Volume for
the full stretch ran to around $780,
900 shares.
