V
Mitiw ,,s Leap Year' cir,s!
First girl in our town to "get her
Bin on Leap Year was the Cop
pers' daughter. Jane, who wed Bill
Webster's boy last Saturday.
When I asked Bill Jr. if it was
true that Janey really did the pro
posing, Bill said : No, but she made
it plain she'd make an ideal wife.
Instead of looking for diversion or
excitement every evening, she was
content to chat beside the fire.
"I could plainly see," says Bill,
that we'd really have a happy
home life which is just exactly
what I want from marriage."
I know it's usual for older folks to
shake their beads over the younger
generation. (It's gone on for hun
dreds of years, now.)
But from where I sit, young
people of marrying age today are
every bit as commendable as their
elders were in their temperance
(a glass of beer for instance), tol
erance, and common sense. So to
Jane and Bill the best of luck!

Stalled before telephones can be used. You've
probably never seen it. ..but it's on the job
every time you make a call And there's still
more to the story. Land and buildings and
other equipment must be provided all of

4. Where does the
money come from?
Millions of new working dol

thousands of people who put
their savings to work in ibe

DEAR JULIUS:
You haven't seen the West,
the wild and woolly West, until
you've seen the high desert
country oi Eastern Oregon.
Here's a land as big as the
combined states of New Jersey,
Maryland, Delaware, Connecti
cut and Rhode Island, where
the deer and the antelope still
roam, where you can almost see
the bend ot the earth and the
silence is deafening.
We explored this high desert
of Central Oregon from the
hurricane deck of the Oregon
Motor association's AAA tour
car the other day, in a 450-mile
triangle bounded by Bend and
Burns, with Lakeview at the
southern apex, and we're still
bug-eyed.
Leave Bend headed east to
ward Burns as we did and you
Immediately climb up Horse
ridge onto what the pioneers
knew as the high desert, 4000
feet in elevation. First spot you
hit. if you don't happen to be
looking the other way and miss
it altogether, is mighty Millican.
Population Quadruples
You've heard of one-man
towns. Well, this is it. the orig
inal one-man town, the biggest,
littlest town in the West. For
many years it had but one resi
dent, Billy Rahn. The wartime
boom has quadrupled its popu
lation probably the greatest
growth recorded by any incor
porated town, but it is still a
one-man town. W. A. Mellen
Is the man.
Rest of the population, as
shown on the census rolls, are
Mellen's wife and two small
daughters.
With this introduction you
will think you're drunk when
vou droD down out of an end
less plateau of sagebrush and
greasewood into Burns to find
yourself suddenly confronted
with one of the big sawmills
of the West, the Edward Hines
Lumber company and not a
tree in sight. The logs are
freighted 50 miles from the
Ponderosa pine forests on the
company's own permanent rail
road. Don't miss the Malheur bird
refuge, 25 miles south of Burns.
On the 158,000 primitive acres
of lake and marshland in this
biggest and finest game refuge
in the West are found hundreds
of species of rare and plentiful
game birds.
Back to the high desert and
the high sagebrush. Fill your
tanks with gas and keep them
filled, for this is a lonesome
land!

Wagontire because the rusting
tire of a massacred emigrant's
wagon still hangs forlornly on
a juniper tree up on the moun
tain side. Bitter feucis were once
fought over the waterholes here.
All is peaceful now.
Look ahead as you roil
through the greasewood desert
south to Lakeview. There lies
A. Conan Doyle's lost world.
High above the highway towers
tlie ominous 2500-foot escarp
ment of Abert's rim, called one
of the highest fault scarps in
the United States. At its base
lies the unreal waters of Abert
lake, one of the largest, but
shallowest, in the state, 30 miles
long, but only six feet deep at
its deepest.
At the south end of Abert
lake we turned north again at
Valley Falls and meandered
northwest through he Chewau
can marshes to Paisley in the
heart of the rich cattle country
of the Summer lake valley.
Mule Deer Aggressive
Along the shores of Summer
lake, under the. snow-crusted
brow of Winter ridge, lies the
state's game refuge and public
shooting grounds something
new in game "growing and har
vesting. Just north of the game refuge
we saw 16 of the most beautiful
mule deer a hunter could rieaw
bead on. They kept chasing us
off the road all the way to
Bend.
Topping the ridge at Picture
Rock pass (4830 feet), we saw
what some old maps still de
scribe as a lake. Silver lake.
Silver lake itself, once a 20.
square-mile body of water six.
miles east of the town, is gone.
You can see the bed of the
lake blowing across the road
southeast of town about 15
miles.
If you want to steep your soul
in solitude, if you want to pio
neer as the pioneers pioneered,
but do it sittuig down in air
conditioned comfort on modern,
high speed highways, try this
High Desert triangle.

TRUE FUNCTIONAL DESIGN
True Functional Design is beauty with a pur
pose. For example, the STREAM-THRU fenders
of the Kaiser or the Frazer are a style feature
others have attempted lo copy. But the real
reason for the design has been overlooked.
The true function is to provide more usable
space without increasing over-all width. Only
the Kaiser and the Frazer have more usable
space. MORE SEAT WIDTHI . . . MORE HEAD.
