SH-H-H!
You Mustn't
Tell a SOUL
D.
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.

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.

ruefully at a group ot tanned
young men who had been sun

That's one girl you can't mow

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

blonde beauty is just the foil my
dark good looks need!"

scoffed. 'That girl wouldn't make

"I'll have her at the tea dance

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

And rm supposed to be flat-

"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.

she said.
"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.

they didn't even glance toward
the bandstand where a few sua
worshippers had already gath

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

"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
