A CENTURY of progress IN 24 YEARS BECAUSE waterholes along the way were natural filling stations for their oxen, the pio neers who settled the Pacific Coast were able to cross the plains beginning just a cen tury ago. Without water spaced at intervals their motive power would have failed and progress would have come a cropper in the desert. The coastward trek of a peo ple was a tremendous develop ment. Yet it influenced the life of the nation perhaps less than the spread of the gasoline serv ice station, which today allows Americans to travel anywhere over desert or mountain or along the busiest highway without fuel-worry whatever. Not only was the first gaso line service station opened by this Company but also the first system of service stations in the world. Back in 1914 it estab lished 19 stations. Since then good roads, the increase in au tomobiles, and the universal desire to go places and do things have made the service station an integral part of al most every American's pattern of living. Wherever you go you know you'll find dependable, roadside service. For service stations have, in a quarter century, formed a network reaching from Greenland's mountains to India's strand making gaso- . line the easiest thing in the world to buy.

Communications Says Townsend Plan Workable To the editor: A few days ago you were wondering how strong a part the Townsend vote played In the Idaho primaries. The reports on that election are In the last Townsend Weekly and claim a 100 percent victory for Townsend -ism. D. Worth Clark for senator and Compton I. White for congress are both definitely pledged and Bert Miller for congress has been a hard Townsend worker even before a club was .formed. I do not know what methods were used In Idaho but the plans in Cali fornia were openly discussed when I attended the Townsend convention In June. At that time all Townsendltes In California had changed their regis tration to the Townsend party but the party did not have a full ticket Quite a few cana mates that they wanted to vote for were on either one or the other major parties, so the candidate that they wanted to vote for was picked and all Town sendltes In that district registered back Into that candidate's party, and yesterday told the tale. "Unethical, immoral?" Not a bit of It. All is fair In love, war and politics, and Townsendltes know how to play politics as well as the best of them. The results of the various elections shows that the Townsendltes are be coming pretty well regimented, and that means they are now a very definite factor to reckon with. And remember the .Townsend plan is not an "old age pension" but Is a very definite and workable plan to Ret this country back on Its feet economically. , OEO. IVERSON. Townsend Legionnaire No. S3813.

TO BASKETBALL AS FILM VEHICLE By Alexander Kahn (United Press Staff Correspondent) HOLLYWOOD (UP) Seeking a new background for the frequently made college pictures, the studios have turned to basketball as a phase of athletics rarely touched In the films. Every studio In Hollywood annu ally makes a football picture and these pictures annually make money. In addition, these college pictures have touched upon baseball, track and swimming, but for some reason basketball has been overlooked. Interest in basketball, aside from the funs who follow the sport season after season, reached a new peak during the past few years with the rise of Hank Lulsettl, called the Babe Ruth of the game. Lulsettl and his Stanford univer sity teammates won several national and Paflclc coast championships and Lulsettl himself set an all-time scor tng record the past year. The popularity of Lulsettl and his fellow players led Paramount studio to investigate the possibility of a picture based on the sport. A story was drafted and won the approval of studio executives. So Lulsettl, Art Stoffen, H. B. Lee and Dlnty Moore, all of the Stan ford team, were signed for the pic ture titled "Campus Confessions." Hollywood's criticism of sports as a source of story material Is that, with the exception of football, they lack the close physical contact that makes the audience sit up In their seats. A secondary criticism Is that it Is difficult to sustain the suspense for any length of time. Basketball, how ever, carries sustained Interest be cause the play does not stop often and the score may see-saw back and forth between the teams. Director George Arch ain baud, after studying the game from a film view point, reported that the close, intri cate play, the frequent scoring and the physical contact was such that he expected basketball pictures to rival football films In popularity. BOYS GET RESULTS HOLDING COURT IN BICYCLE CASES CANTON, O. (UP) Canton's nov el "bicycle court" Is irked by disre spectful offenders and is cracking down on them. The court tries cyclists who disre gard the traffic rules. Ib has han dled 149 cases In its four months of existence. Members of the court, who are high school students, are losing their patience with offendera who do not take their fines and sentences seriously. "Chief Justice" Earl Wise gave James Stevens, 18-year-olo messen ger boy, the most severe sentence ever meted out by the court. Stevens had pleaded not guilty to a stop sign violation. His attitude toward the court was most disre spectful. Justice Wise turned the messenger boy over to police court. Here he was fined (5. Safety Director Ralph A. Bauhof approved of the procedure. "This court operates the same as a municipal court and all per sons pleading guilty will be turned over to municipal or Juvenile court. There the defendants will have a chance to appear with the arrest ing officers and a fine may be im posed," Bauhof said. Charges brought against cyclists Include: Failure to obtain a license, violating signal stop, violating stop ordinance, failure to have head light or reflector after dark and riding on wrong side of street. "Prosecutor" Robert Domer said that disrespectful offenders are in the minority, however. "Most of the defendants take It pretty seriously and we have had only four second or third repeat violations." he said.

P.

"Growing boys need adequate food If they are to maintain growth as well as vigor, while the effects of undernourishment are likely to have more serious repercussions during youth than Its occurrence later In life," the report states. "Using the same standards as for the adults, the nutritional status of 53 percent of the boys was judged to be below average, while nearly a third were classed as poor or def initely malnourished." The report states that not only was there definite malnourlshment found but also other detrimental factors In a large proportion of the youth of unemployed famllled. Among the other factors, "most Im portant Is the facti that poverty means overcrowding, which In turn frequently means loss of sleep, un sanitary living conditions And Irreg ular domestic arrangements.'
