Long Service
Sydney, N. S. W. (UP) The
average motorist In New South
Wales makes his car do for
9'U years and thereby, believes
the department of road trans
port, increases accidents. Obser
vation suggests that the age of
the vehicles explains what is the
major source of accidents the
number of slow drivers on the
road.

A group of Medford Degree of

Gilbert Fleet Wed
In Klamath Falls
Gilbert Fleet, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Fred E. Fleet, prominent
Klamath Falls residents, was
PERHAPS we shouldn't point
to one man among all our
18,000 employees. But, after all,
he is certainly a "typical exam
ple." He went to work more
than thirty years ago, yet he
didn't get to be president of the
Company!
Actually he didn't get very
far along the route of advance
ment. He did achieve some pro
motion, but when his years of
service came to an end he still
was not a top executive.
The other day he retired
to a modest home in the coun
try. But he will not settle down
to his flowers and garden be
fore he has spent several months
in a tour of the nation which
he has been wanting to see for
years.
It has been his good fortune
to work for an organization
which appreciates loyalty in the
ordinary man as well as in the
man of genius. Its retirement
system was arranged to benefit
all employees, not just the top
men who need it least. . ,.
Naturally, this chap didn't
think much about retirement
until he was approaching it.
Then he discovered the man
agement of this Company had
held the good of the majority
at heart something which we
can say in honesty, it always
has tried to do.

This month is set aside for
the membership drive for the
Parent Teacher Association.
More than ever does the associ
ation need you and more than
ever do you need it. With war
on all sides of us, strife among
the unions, depressions and hard
times, more than ever do we
need right thinking and clear-
minded men and women to lead
us. Our boys and girls are the
leaders of tomorrow.
This is what Parent Teacher
work tries to do. It promotes
welfare work at home, in the
school and the community,
raises the standards of living
and educates the parents in all
branches of child education.
Too often It is heard "I be
longed to P.-T. A. while my
children were in the grade
schools, but now, they are in
Junior Hi and able to take care
of themselves." True, they need
to learn responsibility and to
make decisions for themselves.
But to be able to make those
right decisions, they must be
guided into the right way and
that is why you must not quit
in junior high but take more
interest than ever before. The
Parent-Teacher Association tries
to bring this closer companion
ship and cooperation between
the child and their parents and
teachers.
It isn't enough to say "I have
paid my dues and am a mem
ber." But go to the meetings,
take an active part in them and
be one to help make this the
biggest membership year for the
Parent-Teacher association. The
drive is on for the entire month
of October.
