AASHEIM HAS fine
RECORD IN OFFICE

OLAF Aasheim, candidate for reel
ection as county superintendent OF
schools, proudly points to a record OF
economy and efficiency" a platform
on which he based his campaign two
years ago.
The present superintendent has op-
Grated his office during the two wears
with a net saving of S631.49 over the
two previous years of his predecessor,
Henry 0. Raaen, who, Mr.. Aashen.
says, asked the voters to elect him
two years ago on his record of econ
omy.'
Responsible largely for this saving
IS MIR. Aasheim's mileage costs, when
show that he spent only 1922 in the
two years in travelling on his official
duties.
The efficiency of his administration
has not suffered through savings eff
fected is shown by new features that
have been added through county SUI
pervision. These include the renewal
of scholastic and athletic contests, the
establishment of a music festival ano
flag contests, publication of a monthly
teachers bulletin and bringing to
school children for the first time test
ing for tuberculosis under state health
department.
Through Mr.. Aasheim's personal eff
forts 1882 was secured for school
transportation after Sheridan county
had been completely omitted from the
appropriation and only after the SUI
perintendent had made a special trip
Helena to place this county on the
list. ~
Another of the present superinte11d-
efforts was the saving of $4,000
to the county, by refusing r., peTPjt the
tranzder Of high school spperoG1Anents
and contributed largely to increased
through his efforts in securing trans
portation for students from rural dist
riots, which this year totals three dol
a month per pupil.

TALENT GIVES
FINE RADIO

The Pentywood program at the
Wolf Point radio station last Thursday
night was unique and original. With
the soft accompaniment of violin and
guitar, played by Henry Goodman and
c. c. Johnston, the announcer, Howard
NJ. Lewis, gave the history of this part
of the west, and particularly of this
city. After the Introductory portion the
ensemble sang in chorus the state
song, Montana" This was followed by
the story of the origin of the name
"Plentywood" and, located as Plenty
wood is, this became the background
and setting for the solo, Out Where
the West Begins" by Lillian Edgehill.
In time with the beat of the orches-
trail accompaniment, the story then
for new homes, built ION benchland
and in coulee"; and this introduced
"Littlt Grey Home in the West" sunk
by Dean Moore.
Prosperity was characterized as the

was the background and setting for

the advantage mu go to the Demo-
cratic candidates, Tyler and Petersen
ne. only because they are on the more
popular ticket this year, but also be-
cause they are both practical farmers
from whom farmer taxpayers in the
county can expect more sympathetic
appreciation OF their common problems
and hope for constructive legislation OF
more direct service to agriculture.
County Contests
The county lineup is outstanding
this year for the splendid cahber of
candidates in both the Democratic and
Republican columns. Party designa-
ton means nothing in the choosing o,
me to fill county offices, except to reap
the benefits of the county organization
behind that ticket. 1t is generally
agreed that from this standpoint alone
the edge must so to the Democratic
candidates in this campaign.
Topping the list this year of cours.
IS clerk and recorder. which for the
first time combines that office with
those of treasurer and assessor. II is :
most responsible position, and both
parties have highly qualified men, cap
able and honest, seeking the office.
Chris Christensen, the Democratic
candidate, has the advantage of having
served two very successful terms as
county assessor. While A. ]. (Ar)
LANCER, popular and longtime resident
of Pientywood, will undoubtedly give
Chris a close race in his home town
and in Medicine Lake, it is expected
Christensen will pile up a lead in the
rural precincts which will assure his
election.
In the sherif's race, Hans Madsen,
who seems to have become almost a
permanent fixture" is opposed by
Bob Smith, a former deputy under
Madsen, who is running on a platform
of Wake up, voters, let's have Law
enforcement again" Although reports
come from different sections of the
county that Smith, who is recognized
for his ~fearlesness and determination
in experimenting criminals, win unseat
his former chief, observers cannot help
taking this with a grain of SALT" be-
cause of the handsome majorities piled
up by Madsen in the primary and pre-
vious elections when lust such omin-
UU Ief5OIS were III the an.
Carl B. Peterson seems certain of re-
election to the Office of clerk of court
where he has through several terms
given the highest degree of efficiency
to the taxpayers. He is opposed by H.
o. Stenehjem Of .Plentywood, who sew
eral years was associated with j. W.
Mckee in the land and loan business
and more recently creditably served
in various capacities with county re-
lief organizations.
Olaf Aasheim seems to be a safe bet
for reelection as county s~uperintend-
ent of schools. He has not only given
the county schools an efficient and
constructive administration, adding
several new features of service, but
has done so at a considerable saving
over any previous superintendent. He

ing or just under way. by their ex-

Suggestions Asked
The first OF Chairman Fishers
recommendations was In the nature
Of a request that local committees
submit to the commission sugges-
lions for needed amendments or re-
visions In the motor vehicle laws and
in the practice Of various organiza-
tions having jurisdiction over mat
ters pertaining to motor traffic.
Other suggestions concerned acct
dent studies to determine traffic
danger points; coordination Of the
activity OF police and the courts,
and organization Of sofety commit
tees in business establishments and
among organizations; 1t was sug-
gested that some smaller towns
might desire to combine their activi-
ties with neighboring towns, or
where several community centers
existed in a town or city, there might
be separate committees working in
close cooperation with the main
group.
Courses for traffic safety instruc-
ton in the schools and methods OF
adult education were put forward as
elements of the general program
worthy of consideration in every To-
cal safety program.
Publicity
The value Of publicity, and COM
petition among organizations for
safety was stressed. The necessity for
speakers bureaus was noted.
Consideration Of the possibilities
of organizing junior safety commit
tees to deal with the problems OF
young drivers was recommended.

Flyer Leaves U. S. to
Search for Redfern
Parents of Aviator Lost in 1927
Hope to Find Definite
Trace of Son

Pilot Art Williams, flying an am
phibian plane, took off from Charlie
stone, S. c., Wednesday for Jackson
vile, Fla, the first stop on flight
projected to carry him over the
jungles of British Guiana in the
hope of answering the nine-year-old
question of what became of Paul
Redfern, who disappeared on an at
tempted nonstop flight from Bruins
wick, Ca, to Rio de Janeiro in 1927.
He took off after two-hour dis
cussion of plans and data with Red
ferns elderly parents, DR.. Frederick
c. Redfern, Columbia educator, and
Mrs. Redfern.
Williams is a former U. S. army
aviator and a veteran of several
years of jungle flying.
DR.. Redfern said he hoped the ex-
petition of Williams would end the
suspense under which he and Mrs.
Redfern had lived since their son
disappeared nine years ago.
He said, upon his return to Co
lumbia, that he had agreed in the
conference with Williams and two
companions, that natives familiar
with jungle lore could best pene-
trate the rugged area believed to
hold his son entrapped after forced
landing.
