MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1943 PAGE THREE In the days when automo biles buttoned at the back, the town of Burns, in Eastern Ore gon, was true frontier. Its art museum was the desert sunset. Coyotes furnished its sym phony. And the Burns Garage, hard by the blacksmith shop, was as frontier as its community. Now, the frontier teaches people to be neighborly. The latch-string is always out. Your ' neighbor helps with the round up. Your wife helps when the neighbor's wife has a baby. People get along because they give so many things that money won't buy. So It was perfectly natural that standard of llitornia,jm old Western outfit, should haul gasoline in S-gallon cans over ISO miles of rugged wagon-road to supply the Burns Garage and its few early-Ford customers. It's doubtful that there was much money in ic But this frontier neighborly ness held a profit in human relationships. Today the Burns Garage would reflect credit on any large city. Stride for stride, its town has advanced, too. To day the Burns Garage and its community stick by Standard of California. They remember f that,'when the going was toush. Standard stuck by them. So, you sea, we know from experience this one and many parallels that it's a good thing always to look beyond the money involved. That's our policy in these days when wat problems hold for everybody more bumps than any 150 miles of wagon-road. We're doing our best to help. Our war work must come first. But more than ever, we're trying to do biuiness in the way Standard learned as an integral part of tho earlier West. Our guide is the old frontier spirit . in modern dress. mm 1 ft W9t WcfcissKtoJ BflJWlF SWEDES TIRE OF Stockholm, Oct. 25 (U.R) Anti-German feeline lnrrH in the Swedish capital today as two oiocunoim newspapers charged flatly that a Nazi hnmW w down the Swedish airliner Gri pen Friday night, killing 13 of the IS persons aboard.

They are the symbol of your hopes and aspirations, the heir to democracy's victory and the Four Freedoms. They stand hopefully waiting for the guns to be still, waiting for that world where there will be enough food, enough sunshine and laughter. All over the world the children are waiting. Children are starving in Occupied Europe. They are war orphans, homeless, hungry, in the bombed cities of England, Poland, China, Russia. Even in our own country deadly juven ile delinquency is rising steadily. These chil dren everywhere nee'd your help and need it now. With the world in flames and in tears, the demands ' on genuine American Hearts have been infinite. When the fires of London are so thick the fire hoses run dry . . . when a Chi nese mother has to watch her baby die for want of a simple drug . . . when Greeks by the hun dreds drop dead in the streets from starvation . . when a home town war orphaned kid starts playing with fire . . , decent Americans cannot close their eyef, or turn their backs. The way to help is to support your war chest No dollars you spend will ever go as far. There is no other way you' can, in one gift, help our fighting forces, our Allies, and our home front agencies. . .. So when you're asked to make a pledge, think of these little children, waiting for tomorrow.
