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.

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

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.

CLAIMS 11 LIVES

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

The fire started at the oil
depots of the Weitz and Signal

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.
