WASHINGTON, May 4.-Wood-
en- boxes, fresh fruit containers and
egg cases are now on the scarcity
list as far as the War Food Admin
istration is concerned, and every eff
fort must be exerted to conserve on
their use.
Though these articles are still be-
ing manufactured, officials point
out that military and government
shipping of foods has increased and
manufacture of containers has
been taxed to the limit.
Priority rulings on lumber, nails
and wire make it hard also to pro-
duce any more than is now being
made. Therefore, reuse of all such
containers is being urged to the ex-

Special care is being requested
in opening containers to prevent
breakage. Containers which are in
shape to be reused may be given
or sold back to concerns having
need for them.

Ter in Fun Mystery

How good are your powers OF de-
duction? Paramount's murder mys-
terry, Might in New Orleans at the
goth Century Theatre will keep you
busy spotting the killer of two men
at Mardi Gras time. 1t is job for
experts and even movie experts
Preston Foster and Patricia Mori-
son have time doing it.
The picture is biffing thriller
with laugh for every thrill. It's a
smoothly plotted mystery and the
chances are you won't be able to
call the killer before the film is
three quarters over. In the mean
time you'll have a lot of fun be-
cause Night in New Orleans

amuse as well as to excite movie
fans.
In addition to Preston Foster and
Patricia Morrison, the excellent cast
includes Albert Decker, Charles
Butterworth and Cecil Kellaway.

On the fifteenth day, Balchen
flew over and dropped supplies. At
the same time, Staff Sgt Don Tet-
ley of Fort Sam Houston, and Lieut..
Max Demorest of Flint, Mich, set
out from a weather station with
motor sleds.
Demorest's sled fell into a Gre
vase within less than 100 yards
from the plane
Then Lieut.. John Pritchard Jr..
of Burbank, Calf, Coast Guard
flier, landed a Gruman near the
wreck and flew back to the cutter
Northland with Sgt. Alexander
Tucciarone, of the Bronx, and
Staff Sgt. Lloyd Puryear, of Lee

On the succeeding flight, how
ever, his plane crashed on the
takeoff, killing Pritchard, Howarth,
Coast Guard Radioman Benjamin
Bottoms, of Salem, Mass.
Lieut.. William F. O'Hara, of
Scranton, Penn, his feet frozen
and gangrenous, was put on Tet-
lety's sled, which had reached the
scene, by Monteverde, accompanied
by Lieut.. Harry Spencer, of Dallas,
Texas, Pvt. Clarence Wedel, of
Canton Kansas, leaving Monte
verde at the plane camp.
A mile and a half from the
wreck, Wedel dropped into a Gre
vase and was lost. Four miles
farther along, the sled broke down
and the survivors were stranded
in two camps in foul weather and
on a virtually impossible terrain
which frustrated rescuers.
But supplies were dropped in
February and then Balchen landed
at the sled camp to rescue all, in
Guiding O'Hara, who lost his feet.
Bad weather prevented another
flight until April when Balchen
flew in a dog team and expert
enced mushers who took Monte
verde to the sled camp where
Balchen again landed a ply and
took out the remainder of the sur
vivors, including Tech. Sgt. Alfred
Best, of Waco, Texas.
