Ruby E. 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

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

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.'

And through the shrapnel's eerie

"Over the top!" He was there
to do his share.
Today I bend my head to hear
a far, faint whisper:
