VONT LET this get around not to more than ten million people, anyhow but one of our employees was driv ing a crowded highway one re cent week-end night when the rear-vision mirror came loose . . ."Yah-ah!" whispered his . nerves, "that'll jiggle around and blind you! . . . it'll land you in the ditch !.. . you'll be fuss ing with it and go boom!" Instead of driving safely re-, taxed, he tightened up like a jail door. For an hour he was a menace to himself and every body on the road. Then he turned into a Standard Station. The boys fixed everything in a jiffy of exactly two minutes, 27 seconds. 9 Whereupon he realized that he had been dangerously reluc- . tint to ask for service solely because he tiasn'i going to buy anything. If a Standard man can feel that way, then there ought to be a law, or a cam paign of education, or some thing, so the public will realize the true nature of free service. If someone were hurt in an accident, you wouldn't hesitate to rush into the nearest drug store for first aid. Yet every Standard service from clean windshields to clean rest-rooms is a form of first aid . . . pre rewrite first aid. Use it as such, please, please, pul-fc-ze.

E AIDING DEFENSE A saving of more than five million pounds of metals vital to defense needs, including enough aluminum to build more than 275 fighter planes, is be ing effected by the Bell System this year through a materials substitution program, according to word received by R. B. Ham mond, telephone manager here. Made possible through long range planning, research, and readjustments in manufactur ing, the substituting of mater ials In 1941 will divert for use in defense work nearly 1,700, 000 pounds of aluminum, almost a third of a million pounds of nickel, well over three million pounds of zinc, and 8.300 pounds of magnesium. Additional re ductions are foreseen for 1942. Freight traffic on the Rogue River valley section of the Southern Pacific railroad has taken a spurt the past month and from three to four through freights are now going through both ways, a local railway of ficial reports. The gain has resulted In three operators now being maintained at Siskiyou, where a few weeks ago there were none. The freights are routed this way to relieve the Natron cut-off of some of its congestion. Dm suit Tribune nil ada.

And not for Pam, the thought Chapter Two The Bet JERRY WINTHROPE. on South J Beach, had watched Pam go sway from him with a distinct tense of dismay. He was no ac customed to being deserted by girls. He turned at length to grin ruefully at a group ot tanned young men who had been sun ning on a small bandstand, watch, ing him. As they saw Pam trot away they scoffed lightly. That's one girl you can't mow down with your fatal charm!" The speaker was a young blonde giant who was tutoring a boy In the neighborhood. "Oh. yeah?" from Jerry. "Yeah!" laughed a gilded youth lazing the winter away at Casa Marina. "She doesn't give us a tumble. It's a shame, because her blonde beauty is just the foil my dark good looks need!" "Treats us northerners as If we were germs or something!" ex claimed Edmund Antoine, who was orchestra leader at the hotel and the current rave of ail the winter girls. "Well, maybe you are!" Jerry hoisted himself gracefully to the platform. "You can't blame a girl tor using a little discrimination." I supposed you think you're the fair haired boy!" another scoffed. 'That girl wouldn't make a date with a winter man if her life depended on it! She thinks we're dangerous, or something." "You boys Just haven't the ap proach." Jerry answered lightly. "Well we haven't a Kerry Blue, if that's what you mean. But even that" Antoine was ear nest "won't get you anywhere with that girL She's winter-man proof! I'll bet you." "As I said," Jerry retorted with maddening smoothness, "you boys just haven't the approach." "And I suppose you think you have!" "I have. Til take you up on that bet, Antoine. A supper partv at Pena's. If you win, 1 give it. If I win, you give it." "Accepted." Antoine turned to the others, laughing. "Get set for AGENT IS VISITOR Louis E.

Van Dyke, executive secretary of the ci vilian cantonment coordination board but when he learned this morning that Mr. Van Dyke had gone to Salem for a conference Mr. Scarbrough decided to con tinue to Salem also. Mr. Van Dyke was to confer In Salem with William H. Craw ford, director of the Oregon economics council, regarding va rious civic phases of the pro posed army cantonment here. Mr. Scarbrough said he also was to confer with Mr. Crawford and with Gov. Charles A. Sprague. He added that he would endeavor to see Mr. Van Dyke in Salem.

"I'll have her at the tea dance at Casa Marina tomorrow after noon," Jerry promised, and once more was answered with friendly jeering. Invitation PAM always cut her roses In the morning while they were still silvered with dew. Her scissors had just cut the first bud when she heard steps behind her and was aware of Blaze beside her. "Blaze has been waiting for you." It was Jerry's voice. Jerry whom Pam had hoped to avoid. She stroked the dog's soft coat, but was too startled to make any reply. And. Incidentally. I have too." Jerry continued. "Don't tell me ,nat cioesn t mean anything to vmi . L.. .7 )y. She was enchanting in her ark blue enttnn nlnv.anir whiM, she had made herself. Im terribly flattered that Blaze remembered me." She smiled anally. "I like dogs, and Blaze is such an aristocrat. But how do you happen to be in my garden so early in the morning?" "I've remembered you, too. I'm In your garden waiting for you, lnvplv InHv h m e a m aftar- whole night I still remember! you. And rm supposed to be flat- terea at tnat? "You should be. It's a tribute. A tribute to your very superior charm and beauty, and all that sort of thing." He spoke lightly, but the words were faintly etched with earnestness. "All right," she laughed. "Just to please you, I'll say thank you. And now if you don't mind, I'll cut my roses. I've got things that need doing." She would have turned away from him, but Jerry caught her hand. He was sudden ly very serious. "But I do mind, Pam," he said. "Don't send me away. I've just found you." Pam looked out over the fa miliar scene. Poinsettias flaming scarlet against white walls. Ma-reschal-Neil roses rioting along a fence. Palms rustling in salt sea breeze. Spanish lime trees, dark waxy-green in the brilliant sun. It was all Just as It always had been, even to the pungent acrid smell of Cuban breakfast coffee in the air. Everything exactly as she had always known it Yet Pam had a feeling It should be different Jerry Winthrope had spoken to her with tenderness in his voice. Jerry Winthrope had come to her garden to find her. And her heart was a-thrilL But she tried with her words to deny it "You'll find dozens ot other I return to Medford in a week or 10 days.

"No, I won't That's Just It I knew yesterday when Blaze found you. Blaze knew, too. You're not just another girl to us. You're" he paused as if trying to find the right word "something else. Something I'd rather tell you when there's a moon. But right now I'd like to tell you that I want to squire you to the tea dance at Casa Marina this after noon." "Don't be slllyl You don't even know me." But under the gayety of her words her heart was pounding wildly. "I do know you. You're Pam. And your voice is a celestial lul laby. And your moods are as soft and gentle as a summer breeze. Besides, it's such nice silliness, Pam-lovely. Now will you go?" Pam looked at him without an swering. A Persian cat moved si lently along the path to a castor bean plant grown to tree propor tion on the winterless island, and sharpened its claws satisfactorily. Jerry's hand at Blaze's collar stayed her instinct to give chase. Pam was finding it hard to say the thing she believed she should. "Pam! ' That tender note was in his voice again. Blaze's nose, coo) and damp, touched her hand per suasively. "Will you say some thing after me?'' She met his eyes, a question in her own. "Will you say, 'Yes, Jerry'?" There was a moment's silence. Then: "Yes, Jerry," she repeated. They laughed like happy chil dren and Blaze, catching their mood, capered about alarming the cat which climbed up the cas. tor bean tree and jumped to the top rail of the white picket fence, to sit there in composed and dig nified safety surveying the trio. "Now let me cut my roses be fore the dew is all gone," Pam said in what she hoped was a matter-of-fact voice. "Dew is pre cious down here, you know, on this coral island where we have so little rain." Jerry followed her about as she cut roses. Then he walked with her to Casa Marina to deliver them. Blaze at their heels. Re turning, they crossed South Beach on the hard sand at the water's edge. Leo Shore THE water Waa emerald under the bricht sun and the atmos phere so clear you could see to the lighthouse. A boat from Cuba that would be tying up in about an hour at the docks on the other side of the island was like a toy against the skyline. Sea beans, looking like large round horse chestnuts, swept in with the surf, rolled madly back to the water again. Pam picked up a perfect one tic servlcee conducted by Rev. and Mrs. Brazil will be con tinued at 7:45 p. m. each eve ning this week at the Church of God, Haven and Holly streets. Those attending have enjoyed the wonderful messages In ser mon and song. By VIVIEN GREY that had been caught la tome debris. "They polish to the most beau tiful mahogany," she said. Jerry took it and slipped it Into the pocket of his jacket So engrossed were they In thefr own pleasant companionship that they didn't even glance toward the bandstand where a few sua worshippers had already gath ered. The boys stared at the cou ple walking along the sand so ob viously in perfect accord. "Pam with Jerryl" someone said in surprise. That lad is made of norse shoes," said another, watching them Intently. "Ha gets all the breaks." "It looks as If the supper is on me," Edmund Antoine said. 'It's easy to tell when a girl has (aid yes." "What a row of pikers we most be!" commented another. "I've been trying to date that girl ever since I ve been here, and I've watched every last one of you trying to do the same thing. Jerry comes in and walks off his old man's yacht and does it, just as he's been doing it all his life. What's he got that I haven't?" But Antoine wasn't listening. He was staring hard at Jerry and Pam and thinking Pam was too lovely. Too sweet and earnest and lovely . . . and Pam. in the pleas ant homey quiet of her big house, was thinking of Leo Shore and, for the first time, missing him. Leo was surgeon at the naval sta tion. His family, like Pam's, had settled in Key West generations before, and he and Pam had been friends ever since she could re member. If only Leo were here, Pam ' thought now. He had been called : to V ashington the week before, I with several other officers from the base, relative to future devel ! opmcnts at the Key West station. I Leo, who was ten years older man fam, nad once told bar he loved her. But that was not why Pam missed him. Not why she wished she could talk to him. It was because she had met Jerry, and there was something disturb ing about it alL And Leo knew Jerry and Lenore and many of their kind while she, Pamela, had made a point of not knowing win. ter men, the idle, play-intent son of the rich. With Leo near. Pam knew she would feel a little better about her date for tea dancing with Jerry. Leo, out of his sincere friendship for her, would be able to guide her rightly. He was that kind. Pam was thoughtful as she dressed. Jerry and Lea They stood side by side in her mind. So like and yet so unlike. Both charming and attractive Jerry a handsome playboy, Leo a useful member of society.
