Oregon laws regulating auto-
motive lighting equipment are in
conformity with sepcifications
adopted by the automobile indus­
try in its development of the new
“Sealed Beam’’ headlamp system,
it was announced today by Earl
Snell, secretary of state, who
played a part in the nation-wide
study which led to ihe develop­
ment of the new lamps.
The new headlamps are design­
ed to give increased visibility for
night driving, longer and more ef­
ficient service at no increased
mileage cost, and virtual elimin­
ation of glare. They were devel­
oped as a result of a three-year
study instituted by the automobile
industry, the Automotive Safety
Foundation and the American As­

PRESIDIO OF SAN FRAN­
CISCO, CALIF., Sept. 28 — A
marked acceleration in Army en-
' listments has been noted all over
the Army’s eight-state ninth corps
j area, and the campaign to bring
| the Army up to its authorized
peace time strength under recent
j Act of Congress and the Proclam­
ation of the President is meeting
success, according to an announce­
ment released today at Headquar­
ters Ninth Corps Area.
Each
months enlistments are showing
a marked increase over the pre­
ceding month as the recruiting
efforts get into full swing.
The applicant of today has a
wide choice of branch and station,
it was pointed out by Maj. Charles
C. Quigley, Corps Area Recruit­
ing Officer. He may make ap­
plication for enlistment at the
most outlying recruiting office
and be assured of the same choice
of branch and station as were he
making application at a recruiting
office in any of the larger cities.
Recruit depots are filled to ov­
erflowing with applicants sent in
by the forces in the field, Major
Quigley said and prompt shipment
to the station selected is promised.
Current orders are to the effect
that the new recruit will not be
held tor a period of longer than
seven days at the place of enlist­
ment. For those who select for­
eign service assignments, Army
transports are sailing on schedule
to carry these men to their over-
sea stations.
The quotas for the air corps
and anti-aircraft units seem to be
the big drawing card, the Major
saidt
Here-to-fore men usually
placed on the waiting lists for
these services and sometimes it
was many months before they
were called.

Marion Stevenson
The many friennds of the valley
were deeply grieved, when word
was received of the passing of
Marian Stevenson, affectionately
called “Chick” by his intimate
friends. He passed away at Grants
Pass Sunday at 10:30 o’clock.
Funeral services were held on
Tuesdy at 2 p. m. from the Hall
Funeral Home where a large com­
pany of friends gathered to pay
their last respects.
The many
floral pieces spoke plainer than
words of the high esteem in which
he was held by those who knew
him.
Rev. George Gray of Cave Junc­
tion officiated.
Interment was made at Wilder-
ville beside the two sons who had
preceded him.
He leaves a widow, a son and a
sister, besides a host of friends.

SATURDAY and SUNDAY, Sept. 30, Oct. 1
A gay carnival dance will open
the winter dance program in
Grants Pass, Saturday, Septem­
ber 30, when the Lady Lions give
their annual, which has come to
be known as “the first big dance
of the season.”
Last year’s Jungle Ball which
saw the pavilion elaborately de­
corated to set the pace for future
affairs, was highly successful, and
this year's dance should be even
better.
Funds raised will be used to
furnish the newly established
children’s room at the county li­
brary in Grants Pass, and many
people are making plans to attend
because of the worthiness of this
project. It is expected that a
good group from Cave City will
keep the date in mindi The pop­

Mrs Ethel J. Duffy, aged 47
years, passed away at St. Peter's
hospital in Olympia, Washington,
last Saturday afternoon, following
a long illness. Mrs. Duffy was
born in Kerby, April 30, 1892,
and after completing her educa­
tion taught in various schools.
During her teaching at Raymond
she was married to Charles R. Duf­
fy and they later moved to Alas­
ka. Then they returned to Seat­
tle and from there to Olympia
where she had been teaching for
the past six years. At the close
of the 1938 term because of very
ill health she was compelled to
give up her school work.
Mrs. Duffy was a member of
the Eastern Star at Kerby. Be­
sides her widower, she is surviv­
ed by her mother, Mrs. Lottie
Woodcock of Kerby, two broth­
ers, C. W. Woodcock of Fresno,
California, and Q. A. Woodcock of
Pittsville, California.
Funeral services were held last
Tuesday afternoon, followed by
creamation.

Last Tuesday the Model Gro-

and are now ready to serve the
people of the valley with the best

His One Chance
It was three o’clock in the
morning and the policeman was
rather suspicious of the man in
evening clothes who walked slow­
ly along the street, crossing and
re-crossing the thoroughfare.
“Out rather late, aren’t you?”
aked the officer.
“Perhaps it ¡S a little late,’’
agreed the man. “But it's about
the only chance a pedestrian has
these days."
