Rusque, Idaho Writer Becomes Medford Resident One newcomer to Medford who did not coma because of the cantonment is Mrs. Ruby E. Rusque who hails from Idaho, hav ing spent fifteen years in Boise, Mrs. Rusque's poetry eontrl- buttons are well known in Ida ho, appearing regularly in the Idaho Educational Journal, State and National P-T.A. magazines, farm and other publications, and Idaho Verse, published by Capi tol News, Boise. In 1939 she won the all-state prize for best poem of the year, - However, she no longer writes poetry for publication as she says "poetry is the poorest paid of the writing arts." She is con centrating on prose and has sold articles , to Sunset Magazine, Hearst and other syndicates, and to pulp and farm magazines. She has had her sixth short-short story published by Idaho Agri cultural Journal. "It remains to be seen whether the success 1 hope for will be come an actuality," she declared yesterday. "I am hoping that I will not 'do a Hemingway' and have to wait twenty years for my first big break. My ambition is to write for the movies." Mrs. Rusque says she came to Medford because she had heard for years what wonderful place it is to live and because of the clement weather here. Mrs. Rusque has had her share of grief. Two yean ago her mother died suddenly. Three months later her son, a corporal in the army air corps, met death while en route from McClellan field to Los Angeles. Mrs. Rusque went to Califor nia to be present at the hearing into the tragedy. While In Los Angeles her son's buddy. Lieu tenant Paul Bunch, who had been put in charge of her son's affairs and to assist Mrs. Rusque any way he could, crashed to his death while stunting before a crowd at Bakersfield. Six months after her son's death, to the day. on -last May 2, her brother met death in an automobile accident. Mrs. Rusque is a widow. Be fore her marriage she was teacher of dramatic expression. She has had programs over radio KFXD and KIDO in Idaho, read ing her own and other verse. Because of ill health Mrs. Rus que leads a fairly inactive life. Mrs. Rusque has purchased house here, and her daughter, Miss Phyllis Rusque, who is still In high school east of the moun- Melba and Payette. tains, will make her home with her mother when her school is out. One of Mrs. Rusque' poems. written for a neighbor who lost her son in World War I, appears below: He Beat Me Thora bore him when the .world seemed at its fairest; I held him close to me, and ten derly I watched him that no evil might befall him Nor dreamed of conflict's dark futurity. ' He loved to go on little Journeys with me. Returning playfully, mood light as air, He'd rush ahead to reach the garden gate first And call, "I beat 'oo muverl I beat 'oo there!" And then the stirring drums of war enticed him; His splendid youth responded gallantly. He bore the banner over trench and bombnest OS W,o)ay. LOGISTICS Strategy is the planning of warfare. Tactics is the execution of those plans. Logistics, the third branch of military science, is the supplying of everything necessary to strategy and tactics in the right amount, at the right place, a the right time. , Now, in total war, we must apply the science of Logistics to all of our activities as a nation civilian as well as military. WE-ALL are part of the Victory Program. Our supply lines are literally life lines of the United Nations. Man-power and munition-power are the controlling factors. Today, Logistics dictates strategy determines tactics. Congress has appropriated billions of dollars but it cannot appro- ' pnate one single second oj time. Time favors those who appreciate it as the priceless commodity it now is. In war, when we save time we save lives and we make our indi vidual contribution to Victory.' Department of Logistics International Business Machines Corporation All because of Hate's Immensity. And through the shrapnel's eerie scream he shouted: "Over the top!" He was there to do his share.
