(U.R) Men in uniform today were as sured of plenty of Sunday chicken dinners for the next six months as result of a govern ment order requisitioning all frozen chickens in storage as of 12:01 a. m. Thursday. The War Food administration ordered owners of frozen chick ens to report their stocks to de signated army quartermaster centers within 10 days. They will not be permitted to remove or sell their supplies to any other customer until at least 70,000,000 pounds are procured to assure adequate chicken for the services. The poultry also Is destined for the War Shipping ndminia tration and the military hos pitals. The WFA explained that army buyers had sought in vain to furnish ennurh chickens for two Sunday chicken dinners a month for the troops and fin ally had to resort to govern ment requisition.

"If thaft Tim." the said, "darlnt to tay he t on duty tonight, ID find out whether Dr. Farley knowt what he's talking about in the line of getting away with murder I" She went out as the telephone rang again. Evan looked at Meredith and said tenderly. "Tired. Merry?" "A little." she answered, then added swiftly. "Evan, dont say anything to Jonathan about Mid land City or about my working with you there." He frowned. "But why not You Surely don't think he'd offer any objections, do you?" "No. of course not: It's a marvel ous opportunity for me. and under ordinary circumstances, he'd be delighted! It's only that well It seems he has some ldlotlo Idea about my staying here." "Then the sign at the gate wasn't gag I" said Evan. "No. Absurd, isn't It?" . "CEK here. Meredith," Evan said sternly, "you're not by any chance thinking of staying?" "No. of course not. Why. VA go mad shut up here I" answered Mer edith, her voice shaking a little. "Only well, he's old. Evan, and it seems he's gone to a lot of prepara tions for me to stay on. I'll have to break It gently to him that I've got a few plans of my own." "Of course you have I" Evan said sharply. "You've got a rare gift: It mustn't be lost by being burled here. You know our plans: Harbor Hospital for a few years and then research. It's a great future, Mere- dlth. You mustn't pull a feminine trick now and develop a conscience that holds you back. Because you'd be guilty If you deserted the things that lie far ahead, far more than If you upset fusty old country med ico's silly plans!" Meredith's head flung up and her yes chilled a little. "Jonathan's not quite a fusty old country medico." she said frostily. "Nor are his plans necessarily silly Just because they happen to run counter to yours." tain cases to prevent secondary infection. "We are opposed to the routine use of sulfanomidcs In the treatment of the common cold but would favor their use in a few selected cases as a protection against severe second ary infection," they said.

(U.R) A new world record for completing the most minesweepers, aviation pa trol craft and repair ships for the naw In a alnuls war mill ha set by Associated Shipbuilders to morrow with the commissioning MEDFORD MAIL "Maybe not. but anybody with an ounce of brains would know that It Is criminal to lock up a woman of your abUlty tn this back-water " began Evan stormlly. Meredith stared at htm. "Why. Evan I We're we're quarreling I Isn't that silly?" Evan looked a bit sheepish. "We are a couple of chumps, darling, only the very thought of your stay ing here Just about knocked me out. Don't do It. Merry. After all the things we've planned. I couldn't quite take It. . "I won't." answered Meredith. "Only you must promise to let me tell Jonathan my own way." "Of course, sweet." TUX aezt moment, Rosalie was back tn the living-room, her eyes dark with anger, storm-signals flying In scarlet patches on her pert face. "The the bum I" she raked. "Tn Til tear him apart! Standing me up at this hour of the evening!" Meredith's eyebrows went up. "I take It that Tim has er assorted himself?" . . . . "He has been given night duty! Why. I could wring his neck!" Meredith said coolly. "Well, after all. there U a war on and I've heard the army has a way of liking Its men to obey their orders, rather than the girl friend's!" "What bums me up fat that he didn't have to do It," Rosalie raged. "He's replacing another cluck who got leave for a few days to go home and see a sick wife or something. It's not Tim's duty at all. And he knew this was dance night!" Meredith looked at the girl as though she were a complete and not very pleasant stranger. Then Rosalie looked suddenly at Evan an Intent, measuring gaze. Deliberately, she walked around him, Inspecting him from all angles. And then she looked at Meredith. "How's for lending me him tonight?" she demanded. Startled, Meredith said, "What are you talking about?" "About Evan taking me to the dance." answered Rosalie flatly. "If I could show up with him. It would set the other gals back on their heels plenty! And give Lieutenant Tim Abernethy some thing to think about. It would show him he can't stand me up an hour before a dance begins. How about It?" llffEREDITH said curtly, "Rosalie, "a you're being very silly and childish. If a man has a Job to do" Rosalie turned rudely from Meredith and looked up at Evan, who was studying her curiously, a hint of a smile In his coo) gray eyes. "Want to take me to the dance," she said archly. "I'm popular with the stags, so you wont have to dance with me if you don't want to, once we get there. And It wruld make Tim green-eyed with Jeal ousy. How about being a pal and throwing a drowning gal a straw?" Evan laughed. "It might be fun at that I" Rosalie cried, "Oh, you sweet thing!" She whirled to dash out of the room, but saw Meredith's face and paused a moment. "You don't mind, do you. Merry?" she pleaded, suddenly sweet and gentle and coaxing. "Jonathan's dying to have a long confab with you, and anyway. Evan might like the dance Be a lamb. Merry, and do let him go!" "I dont seem to have much to ay about it." answered Meredith cooly. "If he wants to go. hell sol" Rosalie grinned wickedly, swayed towards Meredith, and whispered. "Remember, darling. Jealousy Is so old-fashioned!" The next moment she had danced out of the room and they heard her flying foot-steps on the stairs. . (To be continued) (The characters in this serial are fictitious!

This is ihe conclusion of Forrest E. Cooper, district representative of the Oregon war finance com mittee, who reported this week to N. H. Zacharisen, Jackson county chairman. Cooper has . Just returned from a conference of U. S. treasury executives where plans were made for the 4th war loan scheduled for Janu ary. The out-of-pocket cost of sell ing war bonis is 133 of one per cent, Cooper reported. "Rumors about the high cost of selling war bonds can be laid to Ignorance or enemy propa ganda," Zacharisen stated yester day. "Only in- America could billions of dollars be raised at such low cost." Concerning cashing in of war bonds, Cooper - stated that the number being turned In is much smaller than state headquarters had anticipated. "Ninety-four of every 100 sav ings bonds (Series E, F and O sold since war bonds were first introduced in May, 1941,' are still in the hands of original purchasers," Cooper stated.

Figures released by the state office show that Jackson county has invested $4,624,433 in Series E war bonds since May, 1942. While the exact percentage of redemptions in this county could not be ascertained, N. H. Zach arisen, county chairman, assert ed that the figure is proportion, ately low. . STICKERS LATE .
