How to hive HAPPILY Ever After IN FAIRY TALES, the Prince arrives by carriage, but in real life little Johnny turns a cartwheel and says "Feel my muscle!" Right there Johnny bumps Into an eternal truth. The reaction of his light of love will depend on whether he is boasting ... or advertising. That's why Standard advertises ... but never boasts. From endless evidence we know that when Standard ad vertises, the public... our light of love . . . never peppers our claims with grains of salt. You're that way yourself (we hope). This slow-won public confidence reflects in both our advertising. ..and our products. If we develop a new motor oil, for instance, the advertising copy must be passed by produc tion chiefs who have full power of veto. They make the oil, but they don't have to sell it Sci entists ail, they have George Washington's yen for truth. ViTiat happens to over-enthusi-tstic sales-talk is what happened to the cherry tree. Further, to retain this public confidence. Standard has to live op to its advertising. Otherwise Standard Gasoline . . . horrid thought! . . . might be "unsur passed" one year . . . and jolly well surpassed the next But while the public assumes that if we say to, it's the peer of the best . . . then, by gracious, sir, it shall be. That'i our plan for living happily ever after. Standard Oil Company . of California Washington School Holds "Dad's Night" Washington School P-T.A. held Dad's night potluck dinner at the schoolhouse Friday evening.

GIRL SCOUTS News Behind The News by Paul Mallon (Continued Prom Page One) army may suffer later in the win ter. Virulence of the disease varies. In mild epidemics, the death rate has run below 23 per cent; in serious plagues, as high as 80 per cent. It spreads rapidly. While the body louse requires 14 days to infect the victim, after the tenth day all lice on the vic tim become carriers. The lice collect on fur clothing (widely used by the German army) and on tables, furniture, chairs. The Russians are better pre pared to fight the louse, through a long acquaintanceship. Pre vious Infection also provides some Immunity. What has happened on the Russian front can be measured more accuratey upon the map than from the florid phrases of the communiques. Hitler's ad vance into Russia averaged 400 miles, measuring from the orig inal Russo-Polish border (Minsk line). The Russians have pushed him back an average of 40 miles (exactly that in the south, none at all north of Leningrad.) Ony one-tenth of Nazi-conquered territory, therefore, has yet been regained. OIL FIRE, BLASTS Senior Girl Scouts will hear Juanita Gunter and June Jar min report on the regional senior Girl Scout conference which they attended in Port land during Christmas holidays Thursday at 7:30 p. m. at the Girls Community clubhouse. All Senior Girl Scouts work ing on 18 hours of service upon completion of that time will register with the civilian de fense program. The scouts are making plans for a Senior Scout service bureau. All of these girls have or are completing their junior first aid course. During the past season they have knit 20 sweaters for Red Cross and hemmed 100 baby diapers. CALENDAR Libya, with a strong plane force which accompanies and warns the British fleet, refueling it from underground storage. Malta has survived 1.200 bombings with its terrific concentration of anti-aircraft guns. If it falls, the British will be able to get some ships around it, back and forth through the Medi terranean, but only with great danger. REPORTS that the devastating typhus has reached Berlin are doubted here. There may be a few cases, but the delousing sys tem and sanitary conditions in the Nazi capital make an epi demic unlikely. Throughout War saw and Poland the disease is spreading, but it has not reached an epidemic stage. If the Nazis are pushed back so fast that their sanitary facilities break down behind the lines, their THE red campaign is not an am , bitious drive to destroy the German army or invade Gcr 1 many. Limited objectives are evi dent in the tactics employed. One is the relief of Leningrad, i This would reopen valuable sup ply railroads behind the lines, push the Germans back beyond easy bombing range of Moscow (close-in their pursuit planes could heavily protect their bomb ers.) More important, it would allow the reds to clear the Finns from the shortest rail line to the White sea and open a second route for our supplies. The Finns have cut the railway around Lake Onega. The second grand objective is to clear the Black sea to insure its supply lines. The reds, fight ing up through the Crimea, are seeking to cut in behind the Ger man advance post between Mari upol and Taganrog (on the sea of Azov). Relief of the naval base at Sevastopol is in line with this coastal clearance. Heaviest fighting of the rest of the winter will come In this southern region. It is no secret to the Germans that the reds are planning a great new effort there. Fighting on the Moscow front CLAIMS 11 LIVES Sacramento, Calif., Jan. 19. At least 11 persons were injured and another was feared killed in a spectacular fire accompanied by earth-shocking explosions which swept through two oil company plants on the northern outskirts of Sacramen to early today. The fire started at the oil depots of the Weitz and Signal Oil companies and spread to two nearby buildings. The high- shooting flames lighted up the surrounding area for miles, and explosions could be heard as far as Folsom, 20 miles away. Five of the injured were fire men. Reports from the scene said three lS.OOO-gallon tanks of gasoline and three 8,000-gallon tanks of fuel oil were aflame at the Weitz plant. Large stores of lubricating oil were burning at the Signal plant. Sacramento Fire Chief Tor- rence Mulligan reported at 3:30 a. m. (PST) that the fire was under control but would be al lowed to burn itself out. This, he estimated, would take sev eral hours. The blaze started late last night. Chief Mulligan said the amount of the damage was not yet determined. was presented to the students by Coach Russ Acheson at the first basketball pep assembly last Tuesday during activity period.
