ttAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE ELY ECHO! ! ! ! ! !
How do you wish a newspaper a Happy Birthday? ? ? ? I guess you
just say it the same way you would to anyone else....I still can't
believe I have been a small part of this "year old baby". Where
does the time go? A whole year. 1 can remember when Mr.
Aakhus called and invited me to become a member of his
"newspaper family", and all I could think of was, why me??? I
don't know anything about relmrting--but I said I'd give it a try,
and here 1 am, still trying--and enjoying it too. The "boss-man"
has been very kind, and I have made many new friends through the
column, and I hope no enemies. I am still an amateur, altho the
ELY ECtlO has become a PRO.in tile newspaper world. It may be
"old fashioned", but HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELY ECHO. I am happy
to be on board.
In trying to recall all the firsts here in Babbitt, 1 knew I'd make
some mistakes, and gues who told me I was, wrong--our kindly
druggist, Frank Jaeger says that the 1st bar in Babbitt used to be
located in the now Galbreath offices, and by golly he may be right.
OK. Frank, I've been told, and I thank you for reading "Jargon".
That makes me feel better--someone is reading me. lncid'entially,
the 1st Off Sale was in the building that is now used as our Public
Library. OK? ? ? ? Guess we could go on and on with these firsts. It
has been fun recalling the way it used to be.
The American Legion Aux. is hosting a tea for the teachers in our
school district today. All teachers have been sent invitations to
attend. The tea is from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. The Teacher of the Year
Award will be given at this time.
Registra tion for this year's figure skating classes has closed 140
or so pupils have registered. This year 43 pre-school and
kindergarten children are all eagerly awaiting their turn on the
ice, while only 7 first graders, 25 second graders, 9 third graders,
1(1 fourth graders, 12 fifth graders, and 28 from the sixth grade and
up will be making up the rest of the classes..Sunday evening will be
the first session for the skaters. They arc in need of more
instructors and supervisors, and if any of you can see your way to
help the club out, olease call one of the following ladies: Mrs.
Chamberlain, Mrs.D. Maddern, or Mrs. George Dimich. They will
appreciate hearing from you.
MRS.RUTII YOUNGDAitL NELSON TO SPEAK OCT26
October 26th, Friday--7:30 p.m. the Evangelical Lutheran
Church will have the very special honor and privilege to hear Ruth
Youngdahl Nelson.
Mrs. Nelson was named National Mother of the year this past
May. She is a speaker that long after you hear her you will recall
her message with Joy.
Mrs. Nelson is the author of fine books, "Where Jesus Walks",
Here Am I, Lord", "The Christian Woman", "The Woman
Beautiful", and "God's Song in My Heart". The last book listed
can be found in the church library.
Mrs. Nelson is 68, still very active. Two years ago she had a
heart attack and she was supposed to slow down. But she says she
would rather live three years as a lion than 30 years as a lamb.
Mrs. Nelson has been flooded with speaking invitations. She took
time from her busy schedule to share with us her love of the Lord. I
urge every one to keep Oct. 26th open and come to the church at
7:30 and be filled to overflowing with a message of love from Ruth
Youngdahl Nelson.
The public is invited to attend. It is not for women only. She has
a message for all. Coffee and bars will be served after the
program The choir will sing during the program. Books by Mrs.
Nelson will be on sale, plus other devotional material.
Those lovely ladies in the Tae-O-Notes sang at the hospital in
Aurora on Tues. at 1:30 p.m. and then journeyed to Ely to perform
for the shut-ins there. These gals meet ever ~d and 4th Men. at the
Bryant School Music room.
The annual Thanksgiving clothing drive at the St. Plus Catholic
Church will be held from Nov. 4-25. Bring your clothes to the
church hall. They should be clean and wearable.
Don't forget that the UPW of the Presbyterian Church will be
holding their fall bazaar on Nov. 10. The ladies have been working
hard for the last few months, and are doing a fantastic job of
getting it all together. Plan to attend. More to come in next week's
column.
The American Legion Auxiliary will sponsor a Teen Dance on
Sat., Oct. 27 at the Community Bldg. "Fire and Ice" will provide
the music.
I'd like to thank Evelyn Mclndoo for her kind words about nay
column. Like 1 said before, that's "Go Power" for me.
Get well wishes to Mrs. Gordon Grossman, who underwent
surgery last week.
St. Bernadettes Circle is sponsoring a drawing for a 26 in. doll
and outfit and also a Teddy bear. The doll will be on display during
the flea market on Nov. 13. All the outfits are all hand made by the
circle members. The drawing will take place on Dec. 12. Any
member of the circle will be happy to take your donation.
Our deepest sympathy to Mr. & Mrs. Wilfred Bradach. Mr.
Bradach's sister was killed in an auto accident last week. Mr.
Bradach is on the teaching staff of the J.F. Kennedy High School.
ttere is just a little thought for the day : Times have changed. In
the old days, men rode chargers. Nowadays, they marry them.
Till next we meet....Shalom ! ! ! ! ! !

"I
Surley one of tile most excit-
ing developments to occur in
Minnesota education in many
years is our state "t{ight to
Read" program
In announcing lhe program in
late 1971, I told Minnesota
educators than an estimated
one in eight Minnesota young-
sters were completing their
basic education as functional
illiterates. Without the ability
to read. I said. there is no hope
for anything bul ignorance:
without the ability to read, no
child or adult can be really free.

Sheriff Sertich Starts "Operation Identification'"
A (;rime prevention program called "Operation Identification"
was announced today by sheriff Grel~ J. Sertick of St. louis
County. This program will work in conjunction with Governor
Anderson's "Minnesota Crime Watch" and the National Sheriffs'
Association's "'Neighborhood Watch Program".
The purpose of these programs is to get citizen involvement and
participation to reduce the ever-increasing incidents of burglary
and larceny.
Sheriff Sertich is particularly interested in the rural and lake
areas: A survey conducted by the Arrowhead Regional
I.)evelopment Commission reveals that there are 9,199 seasonal,
permanent, and commercial dwellings throughout rural St. Louis
County. Because of the large geographic size of St. Louis County,
which boasts of more than 500 surveyed lakes of over 10-acres in
size, the problems of enforcement become more complex.
Although it may not stop crime with Operation Identification. an
individual considering a criminal acl will feel that lhere is a good
chance for hm to gel caughl, and. thereby, criminal opportunity
can be lessened.

By the use of engraving tools furnished by the Sheriff's Office,
items of value which are easily taken and marketable for resale
will be marked for identification with personalized numhers
assigned to each property owner by the Sheriff's Office.
This program is primarily geared for the seasonal dwellings in
our rural areas. Groups, such as lake associations, are invited to
have their members become involved in this project.
Information is made available at the Sheriff's Offices in Duluth,
Virginia, ltibbing, Ely and Aurora. If any group desires, we will
arrange to attend one of their meetings to further explain this
program.
