MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE,-MEDFORD.-OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1940. PAGE THREE Society By Clara Active Club Party Enjoyed By Many At Hotel Medford The banquet room of the Ho tel Medford was the scene of an enjoyable affair last evening when Active Club members and Lady Activians gathered for an nual installation of officers. The following new officers were installed by William M. McAllister; Bert Lowry, Jr., president; William Miller, vice president; Ray Martin, secretary-treasurer; Kenneth Denman sargeant at arms; trustees, Roy al Claire and Dwight Houghton.

You can't call it the "Milky Way" Route SOME of the captains who have been sailing in this Company's vessels for a quarter century or more have traveled above a million and a half miles enough for more than three round trips to the moon. If you should care to ask why anybody would want to visit the dead old moon when so many interesting and attrac tive places exist on earth, the answer is that nobody ha.. Some of these captains shut tle back and forth from refin ery to pipe-line terminal and from pipe-line terminal to re finery with such regularity that their course is known as "the Milk Route." That's far differ ent from the "Milky Way Route." But that's the way it is. Their jc'i ind our job is to be dcpen d.ii;!c to let the motorists of the West pile up the fun-filled mileage which makes a trip to the moon seem no more than a summer-evening spin for a breath of air. When you say "We'd better tc:i at the next Standard Sta tion and fill up" you assume and properly that tankers have plowed the seas, refineries have functioned, tank-trains have run, tank-trucks have rolled all on earthy schedule, with no chance flights to the inconstant moon.
