EUREKA
Sailing Drug Store Changes Hands

Sailing Drug Store Changes Hands
A business transaction of more
than ordinary interest took place
on Monday when Mr.. and Mrs. c. l..
Weber purchased the Sailing Drug
Store. The Sailing Drug dates back
to 1907 when j. H. Sailing came
here from Kalispell and set up in
a building where tn Majestic the
atre now stands. Mr.. and Mrs. Sal
ing and Jay, Jr., made their home
above the store. Later this build
ing burned and Mr. Sailing moved
two doors south where he stayed
until buying out the j. W. McCalder
Confectionery at the present loca-
ton. After the death of Mr.. Sailing
in 1941, his son, Jay, came home
and ran the store. Mr. Sailing will
continue on under the Webers for a
few weeks and will then join his
wife in Los Angeles. Mrs. Marie
Sailing we are glad to report, in
tends to continue to make her home
in Eureka.
Mr.. and Mrs. Weber came to Eu
reka in 1927 and Mr. Weber has bar
bered here until this fall when they
both went to Bayview and worked
until Christmas. Eureka is very
happy to welcome them back in
their new venture and wish them
every success. Mr.. Weber will con-
tinue to work in defense and Mrs.
Weber, who received some intensive
business training while working at
a store in Athol the past few
months, will run the Drug Store
Miss Glenna Olson will assist at
the store

Chilled ADA Tenants
Promised New Stoves
Low Readings Reported
In Reservoir Rd. Project

AS residents complained OF in
SUFFICIENT heat at the Alley Dwell
ing Authority's temporary housing
project at Thirty-fifth street and
Reservoir road NV, assurance,
were given Yesterday by John Ihlder
executive officer OF the ADA that
improved stoves for the larger
houses are being installed las fast
as possible"
Mr.. Ihlder, in discussing the heat
ing difficulties, pointed out that
present restrictions ban oil or gas
heating stoves. The temporary
houses, he added, were built with the
restricted materials allowed by the
War Production Board and were
therefore, not lin the same category
as pre-war houses"
I'VE are doing the best that is
possible" Mr. Ihlder declared
Where the stoves are found defec-
tive, they will be replaced"
Ernest A. PiZzuro, an employe OF
the Bureau of Standards, COM
planned that his house was only ~
degrees at 3 am. yesterday, and
that he had to go out several times
in the early morning hours to get
wood. which he said radiated more
heat than coal. He said he knew OF
three or four families who were
suffering from insufficient heat.
At the house of 1t. and Mrs. T. F
Darrah, it was said that the temper
allure was SO degrees at 1870 m
Houses heated with the improved
stoves are comfortably warm, sew
eral occupants reported.
