words
by JOHN CLINTON
Kern ember the
school store
acroii the
street? Re
member the
fat proprietor,
the heavenly
scent of chill
that permeated the premises at
noon, and the display of top
Strings, pencils and, most im
pressive of all the two-for-a-cent
candy?
Rimtmbtr the grim dilemma
that was yours whin, having
pant your whole allowance an
Itcorlco whips and jaw-breakers,
you could not buy the brightly
varlogafod nickel pencil you
wonted, but Instead wore forced
to get along with a common 3c
ono till nsxt allowance? Happy
problem! Now behind usl
So I thought
till I remem
bered Mrs.
C 1 i n t o n's
mother who
goes shopping
Willi a similar
abandon. In
variably on her way home she
has to buy gas. And invariably
her pure contains a balance of
eactly 30c and one hairpin- So
she buys 39c worth of gas, there
by driving herself nuts!
Therefore I now recommend to
Mrs, C i mother, te yea and to
at) who face this dowblo-hornod
dilemma get a Union Credit
Card. Then If won't matter how
much cash you spend on shop
ping trips, or for licorice whips.
You can always get gat, or ony
th'ng for your car in a Union
OH trot -on.
v . r, , - , Union Credit
Cards are good
all over trie
w pt, the whole
U. S. and even
in Western
Canada. They
are safer than

prottde a monthly, itemized
sut' mrnt of how much your car
oris ta run. Get an spplicatkm

Hybred Corn Variety
Adanled to Valley Is
Offered by Ben Cay
Wisconsin 695 variety of hy
brid corn has been found to be
well adapted to the Rogue River
Valley, according to Ben Day,
Sams Valley rancher and farmer,
who has conducted exhaustive
experiments in various sections
of southern Oregon. Mr. Day,
one of the important growers of
seed corn in this section of the
coast, has checked many varie
ties of corn in an effort to find
a type suited to the particular
requirements of this area.
According to Day, tests con
ducted by county agents of Jack
son and Josephine counties have
shown yields as high as 129
bushels to the acre, with 84 per
cent grain, silage yields of 15
tons per acre, low moisture con
tent and lodge resistance. These
are important factors in the se
lection of seed corn.

From where I sit. ..
Vert often these days; I get to
thinking about the soldier boys at
camp. And the sailors, too.
What worries me is . . . what
happens when they get a day off
after working their heads off all
week? They go to town . . . and
what then?
What happens? The answer Is
. ; . mostly nothing I Because most
towns near army camps just don't
have nearly enough entertainment
facilities to take care of the soldiers
on leave. So the boys just stand
around, leaning against lampposts
or sitting on doorsteps. And some
times, the local townsfolk find
themselves wondering what's
changed the town . . . instead of
pitching in to help the boys have a
good time in decent surroundings.
e
In many towns, however, the
situation is better. Many towns
have nice, community places where
a soldier can go sit down and "chew
the fat" and enjoy some cake and
milk, or maybe a good glsas of
beer. The boys like that And they're
not likely to get in trouble ...

nothing can be wrong about

There's another reason, too. The
beer industry is cooperating with
the army and with the law-enforcement
officers to help keep the
places where beer is sold, clean and
decent. The brewers don't want
their beer sold to soldiers in places
where bad conditions exist ... and
they're right.
