CANNED GOODS II
IMPORTANT IN
MODERN KITCHEN

All the humor written about the
modern wife whose only kitchen
implement is a can-opcner fails to
bulge the fact that the can-opener
is, after all, the most important
culinary" tool. Cans now bring
to ones table, at any season Of the
year, both staple and fancy foods
which, only yestcryear, were avail
able only portion of the twelve
month or not at all.
Thus, to emphasize the importance
of canned goods in the modem
kitchen. whether such foods be
served hot, chilled or as is, and to
bring home to many a housewife the
tremendous variety Of foods whicl.
may be purchased in metal pack
ages, Safcway Stores this week are
staging the greatest canned goods
sale in all their history.
Twenty carloads of canned
goods, including many Southern
California grown fruits and vcge-
tables are being offered at this sale.
And lest the reader pass too lightly
over the special shipment, it should
be stated that there are $4,000 eases
in the "a carloads.
Officials in charge point out that
the outstanding feature of the sale
is not merely that prices are SO re-
markablv low-but that the goods
being sold for these prices are of the
finest grades. In keeping with the
rigid Safeway policy, quality was
the first consideration in planning
the event. That such low prices
may be quoted, it is said, is due 10
the highly organized system of dis
tribution, bearing out the slogan of
the company, which is redistribution

Arctic. Crews
Hunt Bodies
Of AViatOrS
Wreckage of Eielsen's Plane
Found; Bodies of Flyers
Are Missing

The final chapter in the interna-
tional search for Carl Ben Eielson
and Earl Borland, American avia-
tors, was being written Monday by
searchers who dug into the tightly
packed snow and ice around the
wreckage of Eielson's plane, 80 miles
southeast of North Cape, Siberia
Four men taken to the scene SUM-
day from the ice locked trading ship
Nanuk in planes piloted by Joe Cros-
son and Harold Gillian, explored the
area around the demolished allmetal
m~onoplane in the belief that Eielson
and Borland were flung out to in
slant death when their ship crashed
in a binding snowstsrm Nov. 9, or
were under wreckage of gasoline
cases near the csbin.
Two dog teams driven by natives
also we're on their way to the wreck
from North Cape.
Meanwhile the conviction was
growing here that after a faulty
altimeter, upon which Eielson was
forced to rely when the snowstorm
wiped out all visibility, vas in part
to blame for the crash.
Registered 1000 Feet
Pilot Joe Crosson reported upon
his return from the wreckage Sun
day that the altimeter registered
1000 feet. Inasmuch as the plane
crashed on tundra almost at sea
level, the instruments error may
have misled the pilot.
Proof that the plane was taveling
at a high rate of speed was found
by Crosson in the fact that the
throttle of the ship was wide open.
The manner in which the metal por-
pellar was wrapped around the
motor of the plane testified to the
terrific impact with which the ship
struck the frozen earth.
Bank Turn Started
Crosson reported that Eielson
evidentelly was attempting to make
a banked turn when he struck. "His
right wing cartwheeled." Crosson
said. 1.-THE ~fuselage broke in two
just behind the baggage compart-
ment and landed on its side. The
engine shot out a distance Of 100
feet The right wing dropped off
about 200 feet from the fuselage."
Crosson brought back the clock of
the wrecked plane, which had
stopped at $40 p. m, teller t me
(6:1O Pacific coast time). This
would fix the time of the crash at
about dusk.

Radio Club Is
Way to Check
Lnterferences

From time to time the Herald has
called attention to the radio Interior
enc nuisance in Plentywood and
some Of the wne of motors and
other electric appliances that cause
poor reception have obtained filters
and corrected matters completely as
far as their own appliances are con
cerned. These peope are to be COM
mended by the radio fans of Penty-
wood.
However, after the Montana Oak.
ota Power Company sent a man here
to locate all this interference, and the
City Clerk sent out notices to more
than so owners of interfering divi-
ces, calling attention to the city or
dinance which is very drastic about
such interference, many have ignored
the matter of complying with the
City ordinance and the wishes of the
many radio users here, and continue
to broadcast the racket from their
appliances.
This matter should be taken up by
the Commercial Club when they meet
on February 18th, and a Radio Club
should be formed and funds raised
to bring a man here to locate these
interfering devices and also TO help
in correcting them.
With an active radio Club here, all
this interference will be done away
with in just a few weeks. Such clubs
were organized in Wolf Point, Malta,
Chinook and Shelby where We know
that immediate satisfactory co-opera-
ton was obtained from all owners
Of interference devices, and the same
satisfactory results can be gotten
here.
Interference eliminators or filters
can be obtained at small cost through
Henderson's Electric Shop; who will
furnish these at very little or NO
profit in order to help put a stop to
this nuisance in Plentywood.
Everyone should be at the CONNER
cial Club meeting, as there are many
matters to be discussed

reflect about every mothers son in
the world that goes to school, and
also reflected upon ladies in Plenty
