But if someone there asks him about San Francisco, his home town, he knows all about it. It is the same way with many of our top flight executives . . . and with hundreds of their former home These men who now sit at desks in the home office did not always sit there. Most of them started in a smaller post and a smaller town going from town to town as they ad vanced along the upward road. This is particularly true of executives who have come up through our sales department. Most of them have worked In places which are just a dot on the map. They know the people there by the most in timate of methods -having been one of them. They know the problems of the people and of the communities. The result is that when prob lems of policy come up affect ing almost any community you can name, some executive knows intimately how it will affect his . old friends Sam and Henry and Jack, who live (here. It makes for sympathetic understanding, which, we hope, has always been and will ever be, a mark of this Company's relations with every community where it does business. Standard Oil Company of California Newman Methodist church tended the organ concert given last Sunday afternoon in Grants Pass by Sebastian Apollo of Medford. Mr. Apollo's recital was the second part of the dedication service for the new organ given to the Grants Pass church by Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Kesterson.

Tremendous Rains in passen ger and airmail business here were made by United Air Lines in 1939 as compared with 1938, it was revealed by figures re leased today by Max C. Henne, Medford manager. In 1939, 1395 passengers got on and 1299 got off United Mainlincrs here, a total of 2694. In the previous year 755 pas sengers got on and 675 got off, a total of 1430. In December 83 passengers got on and 67 off, a total of 150, as compared with 19 on and 15 off. a total of 34 in the same month of 1938. Airmail figures showed that Medford d ispatched 23 ,3 1 1 pounds of correspondence e q u i v a 1 e nt to approximately 932,440 letters in 1939 as com pared with 17,892 in 1938. Revenue Doubles The local passenger business gain in 1939 as compared with that of 1938 was 88 per cent and the airmail increase was 30 per cent. The company registered a gain in revenue here of 110 per cent, Henne stated. Reports from other cities on the company's network indicate that the Medford percentage gains are substantially ahead of those for most other points, though large increases were reg istered for the airline as a whole, Henne related. Generally improved business conditions, more service than Medford ever before has en joyed, travel to and from the world's fairs and the normal growth of airline travel all were factors contributing to the best mowing which United Air Lines has made in its more than 13 years of serving this city, Henne said. He pointed out that service improvements included -three daily round trips with 21-pas senger Mainliners which pro vided Medford with increased ac commodations to care for mount- r St !

Phont 97 y The county court has extended the period for bounty payments on predatory animals until March 15. It was pointed out that this is the best time of the year for capturing of varmints and the bounty provides a source of income for rural residents when employment is slack. The original order provided for bounty payments during Octo ber, November and December After March 15 the extermina tion will probably be taken over by the government hunters.
