Flentywood Mayor and Fire Chief Resign Cal Peterson
Assumes Mayorship and Martin Nelson Is New Chief

DR.. j. c. Storkan has decided to
get out of politics and has resign
ed as mayor of the city of Plen-
tywood.
Many were the things he was
going to do for our little burg,
and few were the things he did.
He had his councilmen travel
hither and thither investigating
municipal power plants and report
back to him. He called special
elections and we all voted with
him. He was our champion. He
was the one who was going TO
save Plentywood and give us
cheaper light and power. He got
up as a roaring lion and laid down
as little. lamb. Probably he
found out that really doing some
thing for the people takes lot
of backbone. Probably he fount

piled that he was not coming and
that he was going to end it all,
Ibsen then went to Hansen's home
and found him in the garage with
the doors closed trying to start
the car in an effort to commit SUI
icide in that manner. Ibsen talk

Ibsen asked him what was wrong
and Hansen replied that he was
going to commit suicide. He tolc

out that it pays for city mayor
to keep people from getting cheap
light.
With few taxes and lots of
trouble and no graft ahead, slid
ing out from under is the easiest
way out Of it and that is what our
former mayor, DR.. Storkan, did.
Cal Peterson is sliding into the
empty chair and will be the boss
of the city until next election.
Lew Helm, who for years has
been the city fire chief, has also
resigned, and Martin Nelson has
taken his place. Lew has always
done what he could to prevent
people from collecting their fire
insurance. Probably there have
not been fire enough lately tt
make the job worth while.
