new RECORD IN
SALE OF SEALS

A new record for the pur-
chase of Christmas seals and
health bonds was set here this
week.
The total is now 81, $40, ex-
ceeding last years previous
mark by $132.
Reports have not been re-
ceived on about one-third of
the seals and many of the
bonds mailed out, and these
should hike the final figure
well over $4,000.
Christmas seal sales have reached
$3.50, while bond purchases total
$3.50, officials in charge report.
Families with seals and organizations
with bonds outstanding should make

ASK ELY TO help
Make UP DEFICIT

This area has been asked to
contribute up to $500 more to
the united war service fund,
Judge Edward Freeman told
local campaign officials at a
special meeting conducted last
night.
Judge Freeman, who is county
chairman of the fund drive, said that
the Ely territory is being asked to
give from $500 to $500 more in order
to make up a $500 shortage for rural
st. Louis county and the ranges. The
quota outside Duluth was s85,O00 which
was not met, he said.
Other range communities have been
requested to contribute additional
amounts to wipe out the deficit, Judge
Freeman said.
Hibbing has agreed to raise $1,000
more, Virginia, $1,50O; Eveleth, $500,
and Chisholm, $7O0.
These communities, like Ely, went
over their original quotas, but are
contributing additional amounts, he
said. This area raised $500, exceed
ing the amount asked by $500.

Unless Senator Vandenberg of Miih-
igan and several other ran prevail on
Congress to halt the sqheeze on the
pay envelope which will take effect
beginning with the New Year, the
employe and the employer will each
pay double the present take on their
social security tax. Like many other
statesmen, Senator Vandenberg is Of
the opinion that an increase in the
social security tax at the present time
is unnecessary and that the tax should
not be used to finance any part Of the
war He pointed out that the tax yield
ed one billion 130 million dollars for
the fiscal year ending June 80, and
benefits were paid in the sum OF 149
millions. The reserve fund has been
swollen to four billions 800 millions
The Michigan senator declared that a
reserve fund three times greater than
the highest annual expenditure during
the past five years has always been re-
garded as adequate, while the present
reserve is five times the highest year.

security taxes were collected at all next

Two Ely servicemen are divided on
the quality of the fishing in widely
separated points in the Pacific as COM
pared with that Of Minnesota's border
country
Sgtz Joe E. Janezich, who helped
conquer Attu, reluctantly admits that
angling in the Aleutians (not for Japs
this time) is better, while Sgt. Albin
C. Markun Of the marine corps says
that members of the South Pacific
finny tribe won't compare with North
ern Minnesota's pike.
I'm ashamed to say this, Janezich,
now transferred to Hawaii, admits,
'-but the fish in the Aleutians were
so thick that they leave our Minnesota
water way behind.
Hawaii is quite change from Attu.
Hawaii is quite novel, but not up to
what I had imagined. War has dis
rupted and torn much of the beauty
the islands once possessed, but there
are still spots where you can see and
feel the old Hawaii. Honolulu is so
crowded with soldiers and sailors that
it is almost impossible to get around.
waikiki beach has been unkept for so
long that its splendor has almost van
ished. All that remains Of the Royal
Hawaiian hotel is the structure itself.
In the country you can see pineapple
growing, and bananas, sugar cane and
coconuts are abundant and very, very
delicious, but watch so you don't get
caught. Chinese and japanese pre-
dominate, and there are very few
whites. My heartfelt wishes for a
merry Christmas and New Year for
all the people of Ely"
Since Markun is now a chief cook,
it can be assumed that he rates the
eating quality of Minnesota's welleyes,
as well as the sport of catching them,
ahead of South Pacific fish, but he did
call attention to the catching OF a
500-pound shark Moreover he speaks
from the experience of five months at
this station.
