Jack Bennett Has Narrow
Escape From Sudden Death

only a few feet above the water in the
pipe when fellow workers became
aware of his plight. A man was sent
irto the pipe in an effort to rescue
him. However, sensing gas, he was
forced to return. To effect a rescue
they were forced to open a mar hole
and make their way through the mud
and water to the unconscious youth. A
fire department squad pumped oxygen
into the pipe while the rescue was in
progress.
Revived before being taken to a
hospital, Bennett told his rescuers that
he was making his way back to his
safety line when he first began to be
effected by the fumes. He was not able
to reach the line, however, falling into
a stupor some twenty feet from the
rope hat would have enabled him to
be hauled to fresh air above.
He was confined to the Providence
hospital for two days.

County Schools Getting
Ready for Flag Contest

Sheridan county schools are again
preparing to take part in the annual
Flag contest which is a project car
ried on by the American Legion
Auxiliary. The State Department OF
Public Instruction together with the
County superintendent assist the
State President of the Legion Auxil-
larry, Mrs. H. D. MacMurray, the
Chairman of the Americanization
Committee of the Auxiliary, Mrs. D..
D. Bolyard Of Homestead, and the
Presidents of the local American Lee
gion Auxiliaries.
Miss Elizabeth Ireland, state super
intendent of public instruction says,
Each year the Flag contest becomes
more satisfactory; however, there are
still schools and counties that do not
make the material on the flag of the
United States, its history and symbol
ism a vital part of the yearly history
program. Some schools just select one
student and coach him or her for this
particular event. This should be a
project for every pupil in every school
in the county,"
Dates of the Contest
Individual school contest-February
28; district contest (this contest will
be given when there is more than one
school in the district) March 6; county
contest-March q, Saturday; regional
contest-April 3, Friday; state contest
April II.

WE HAVE IN
SH N
COUNTY ....

G. E. FULKERSON, of the firm of
Fulkerson-Nelson in Plentywood, has
for more than a quarter of a century
been a licensed funeral director. He
has now entered into his 26th year as
a practitioner.
Mr.. Fulkerson is a graduate OF the
late Prof. w. P. Hohenschuh, of Iowa
City, Iowa and was but a youth when
he was issued his license to practice
one of the oldest professions known
to man, practiced before Biblical days.
In 1915 the we'll known funeral di-
rector left North Dakota and came
to Montana settling near Medicine
Lake. Since 1915 he has followed his
schooled profession along with farm
ing interests. A fine, modern farm,
which he still operates, is near Medi-
cine Lake.
In 1929, Mr.. Fulkerson with County
Coroner Martin Nelson, as a partner,
founded the Fulkerson- Nelson mortu-
airy here, which since that time has
gained a reputation as being one of the
most up-to-date funeral homes and
among the best between the Twin Cit
les and Spokane.
Last fall, Mr.. and Mrs. Fulkerson
moved to Plentywood, where, accord
ing to plans, they will make their
home. They plan to rent their farm
and cast their lot with Plentywood,
prompted because OF their liking for
this community.
Fulkerson's two sons are following
his profession. His son, Eugene, is a
licensed funeral director and is con-
nected with the Peterson Funeral
Home at Glasgow. He is a recent
graduate of the Cincinnati College OF
Embalming and his license entitled
him to practice in % states. His
youngest son, Clinton, at home, will
enter an embalming school later. Mr..
and Mrs. Fulkerson have a daughter,
Marjorie, who is a student nurse at
the Dsaconss hospital Il Grad
Ferm.

Jack Bennett Jr., until recently of
Plentywood, narrowly escaped death
at Everett, Wash, last Tuesday when
he was overcome by gas fumes from
a pipe line in which he was working.
Working their way through water
and mud in the supply line leading
from a reservoir, fellow workmen res
cued young Jack after two and one-
half hours of frantic effort.
The pipe line on which Bennett was
working is being installed by the Pu-
get Sound Machinery depot. During
the morning he had been let down a
distance of 300 feet by a rope inside
a main that runs up a steep bank to
paint. Freeing himself from the line,
Bennett was several feet from the
safety rope when he collapsed from
the fumes that had accumulated with
in the pipe since ventilation was cut
off by water and mud left following a
test of the main.
He had fallen into the soft mud,

X-RAY is
HERE

Installation of the latest type shock
proof x-ray unit was recently COM
pleted at the Sheridan Memorial hos
pital in Plentywood.
The new machine differs from the
older styles in that it is extremely
compact and 100 percent electrically
safe and stockport for both operator
and patient.
It's f~lexibility is such it may be used
for virtually all types of photography
as well as a f%euoroscope. Because OF
its compactness, the machine, or es-
sential parts of it, may be transported
with comparative ease, making pos
sible x-ray examination in cases
where patients are unable to be
moved.
The equipment which embodies al
the latest developments in the field Of
x-ray work is manufactured by the
General Electric X-Ray corporation.
Installation was made by ]. j. Muir
ply of Great Falls, field engineer for
the company in this territory.

New Table Accessories
And now for note for women.
Your table linens will be made Of
everything but linen this spring,
predicts House Beautiful. You will
use hemp, wool, leather, cotton
beads and even cellophane. You
will buy thick mats for your spring
and summer tables, rugged, but
not unfeminine, amazingly smart
and gay. Doilies made OF leather
strips woven with cellophane will
not astonish you; and your SIM
plest dolly will be as thick as the
knitted wool you use for heavy
sweaters.
In odd contradiction to this
rough-hewn feeling in linens is the
pottery. This years pottery is
smoother, more stylized, with a
more formal grace than its peas
ant cousings of past years. In
white, in turquoise, in Venetian
pink, it will give a grace-note to
your table,
