Let's nominate "Gus Gasoline" for All American ON any Saturday this Fall you could find 60,000 fans in this western stadium, 30,000 fans in that one, and maybe 100,000 fans in a third and every last one in a lather of excitement. For such occasions the cheering thousands can be counted. But there's, no meas uring their vast pleasure the All American "boot" they get out of football. Each season, so many en thusiasts "make the kick-off" by automobile that someone should figure out how many kick-offs to the gallon. Gaso line gets them to the game just as much as a ticket. White-clad service station attendants con tribute to their fun as well as the gridiron warriors in their i moleskins. " " - " For distinguished service, old "Gus Gasoline" rates All Amer lean in nearly every sports field. Why? Because the increase in the general enjoyment of sports has been made possible by the development of the gasoline buggy which summer and winter, fall and spring brings every playfield into your own back-yard. People old and young, rich and poor the real All Amer icanscan depend for outdoor fun upon the automobile be cause the oil industry has made its fuel and lubrication depend able, cheap, and everywhere accessible a triple threat to dullness which runs up the score in happiness to everyone.

Kelly (Continued from Pao One.) ferences, he is keeping constant ly in mind the possible effect of his remarks on the nation at large. There are 200 reporters, worshippers and critics, listen ing intently, making notes and attempting to discover what is back of the statements. A dozen senators and newsmen huddle together studying the remarks of "that man in the White House." 4- AS a senator or representative .......0 .w. imbviuu X1U111 home, the president has his ears up like a rabbit to hear the repercussions from the countrv.

Naturally the "patronage" or. memoers of the capitol police, elevator boys, office staff), are constantly wondering whether their patron will man age to come through another election successfully, for it means their own jobs and pos sibly the end of their studies in one of the several law schools. Of course, if their patron dies in office, they are instantly canned; there is no sentiment about it. A fellow is on the payroll in the morning, his con gressman drops off during the day and the fellow has joined the army of unemployed and wondering how he will manage to return back home.

By William McMenamln (U.R) Staff Correspondent Boise, Ida. (U.R) Robert John son, 35, veteran mountain pilot, daily flies his tri-motored plane on one of the most hazardous flying jobs in the world. He soars over jagged moun tain peaks, where a forced land ing would mean a certain death, to carry supplies to 600 snow bound families in Idaho's primi tive area. He provides their only contact with the outside world during six long winter months. The pioneer families live in small communities or singly, spread out over 1,087,000 acres of mountainous, heavily-timbered wilderness, unpierced by any road, in the central part of Idaho. Many of their teen age children never have seen an automobile but they know Johnson's plane well. , Miners, trappers, forestry workers and their families rely on Johnson's skill and daring to provide their mail, food and medical supplies through the winter. These modern frontier folk are snowed in from Octo ber through March each year, unable to reach civilization by horseback, their normal means of transportation. Dog Team in Competition Dog team, snowshoes and skiis are the only alternative to Johnson's plane as a means of winter transportation for them. A dog team driven by a' grizzled old frontiersman, "Blacky" Wal lace of Big Creek, provides Johnson's airline with its only competition. Johnson is called upon fre quently to rescue an expectant mother, a hunter shot accident ally or a woodsman, injured by a falling tree. He carries them to civilization in his plane and can't understand why jpeople make a fuss over mm acoui it, To him it is just part of his job, The U. S. forest service pro vldes the airports. Landing fields are extremely small, little more than mountain meadows with stumps cleared off, or river sandbars with the rocks re moved. He frequently lands on these with a capacity load of heavy mining machinery. Johnson loses one or two planes each year in crashes. He uses Ford tri-motors because they carry a tremendous load and land short, he says. To fly down narrow mountain gorges and over snow-capped peaks nearly every day of the six- month period isn't easy, he admits. Parachutes Land Supplies Supplies are dropped from the plane in parachutes. Fliers say Johnson can hook a parachute on a crate of eggs, bail it out without protective packing and not break an egg.

Ray Fisher, Mis soula, Mont., had it a week and then was killed when he flew into the side of a mountain. Bill Gowen of Boise held the mail contract for a time and lost it to Johnson. Johnson spends his summer months flying for the forest service. He flies through smoke and ashes to bring supplies in an hour to fire fighting crews far up in the mountains where it would take days to bring sup plies by pack horse, the only other means. Tired of an early barnstorm ing career in aviation, Johnson settled down to run a gasoline station in Missoula and have a quiet life. But aviation was in his blood and he started a pri vate flying service. He bid for the mail contract into the primi tive area and thus started on the most hazardous flying job in the nation. health had not been good for several years, his death will be a shock to his many friends. Mr. Beall was born on the original Beall homestead on Beall Lane February 26, 1862, and had lived in Jackson coun ty continuously since that time. He was a man of fine qualities, always had a smile and hand shake for his friends, and will be missed by a host of friends. He followed farming all of his life, the farm being on Ross lane, and the farm will be con tinued by his son, Earl. He was united in marriage to Clara Ellen Rippey,. Decem ber 6, 1809 at Santa Rosa, Calif. Mrs. Beall passed away in this city February 8, 1932. Mr. Beall was at one time a member of the Medford Lodge No. 1168 B. P. O. Elks, and a member of the Central Point Grange. He is survived by one son, Earl Beall of this city, one sister, Mrs. Clara Lewis of Sparks, Nevada, one brother, Lee Beall of Lakevlew, Oregon. t uneral arrangements, in charge of the Perl Funeral Home will be announced later. Roosevelt Offers Taft a Prize For Help With Budget . Washington, Dec. IS. (P) President Roosevelt offered today to give Senator Taft' (R.-Ohio) a very handsome prize if he would supply a bill of particulars on how to balance the budget in two years. The President was Inform ed at a press conference that Taft, who is in the race for the Republican presidential nomination next year, had said in a speech it was pos sible to balance the budget within two years. Mr. Roosevelt, emphasizing his words with intonation and gesture, declared twice that he would offer Taft a prize if the senator, person ally, would give him a bill of particulars. The custom of using the name "Jack" as a general term for the average man originated in the Middla Ages. Moral support, exclusively. seems to be what Medford citi zens are giving Finland in the little country's desperate strug gle against the Russian Invasion. Up to today, not a cent had been contributed locally for aid to the Finns, It was reported by Medford's three banks, which are prepared to accept financial donations under the relief plan headed by Herbert Hoover. The answer at all the banks was the same, "No contributions have yet been received." One bank, however, reported that a person had mentioned he planned to contribute "a dol lar or two later."
