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.
New member initiated was Jim
Garvin.
A program during the eve
ning included dancing numbers
by students of Ruth Luy and
several vocal numbers by Rose
Ellen Uhrine accompanied by
Mrs. James Stevens.
Dwight Houton acted as toast
master. Following the dinner and in
stallation of officers, a group of
Active members headed by Wil
liam Miller were hosts to the
other members for a dance. The
hosts composed the losing team
in a recent membership contest.
Whipple's orchestra furnished
the music for the affair which
was the largest of its kind in
several years.
Special guests included Mr.
and Mrs. Don Bagley and Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Stedman.
Tea Saturday
Is Postponed
The tea which was to have
been given Saturday by the
Daughters of the American Rev
olution, has been postponed un
til a later date.
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.

GIVEN STANDING
BY COURT RULING
Labor Relations Board Must
Protect Rights of Work
ers Is Appeals Decision
San Francisco. .Jan. 10. P)
The National Labor Relations
board must protect the rights
of workers in joining independ
ent unions or in remaining un
organized, the ninth U. S. cir
cuit court of appeals held here
yesterday.
Company unions, in effect,
were restored to a standing of
equality with international un
ions by the decision..
The case was that of the
NLRB versus the Sterling Elec
tric Motors company of Los
Angeles, a manufacturing plant
employing approximately 70
workers, which the AFL Inter
national Brotherhood of Elec
trical Workers sought to or
ganize. Chicago, Jan. 10. W) The
Wagner act does not require col
lective bargaining contracts to
be in writing, in the opinion
of the United States circuit
court of appeals.
The court's view was an
nounced yesterday in a decision
reversing an order by the na
tional labor relations board in
the Inland Steel company case.
In its order of Nov. 12, 1938
the NLRB ordered Inland to
withdraw recognition of an in
dependent union, bargain with
the CIO steel workers organiz
ing committee, and put. into
writing any agreement that
might be reached.
