of 52 feet, 8 inches was the best
performance of the Americans,
who are given a good chance of
sweeping the first three places
in the shot put. Hooper threw
the iron ball 50 feet, 9.5 inches
and Fuchs' heave measured 50
feet, 2 inches.
An early morning downpour

trouble pulling away to an easy
victory, covering the 2,000-meter
course 1,24 miles in seven min
utes, 23.4 seconds.

and Belgium reached the semi
finals, while the Soviet Union,

games, made an auspicious debut
from behind the Iron Curtain by
winning two gold medals in the
opening day of competition Sun
day and taking first place among
the nations with 23 points to 15
for the United States.
Davis Breaks Record
The Yanks, who gained one
first place on opening day as
Walt Davis of the Texas Aggies
captured the high jump with a
new record, hoped to come roar
ing back today in the shot put,
the broad jump, the 100-meter
dash, and the 400-meter hurdles.

uled today, the 50-kilometer
walk, but U. S. hopes were vir
tually nil in that..

ers Bob Richards, Laverne,
Calif.; Don Laz,' Aurora, 111.; and
George Mattos, Santa Cruz,
Calif. easily cleared the re

FARMERS, CATTLEMEN and
PEOPLE OF THIS AREA
The Pioneer Service Company, that represents the largest organization of business and
professional men in the Northwest, is calling your attention to a condition that is quite
serious for the local merchants, doctors, hospitals, and druggists.
That is: paying your bills once every six months or once a year.
A. Do you realize that your grocer pays
for his groceries once a week, or twice
a month?
B. Do you realize that virtually all the
merchants have to pay their bills every
30 days?
C. Do you realize that the gas and service
stations (or a lot of them) pay every
time. that4 gas is dumped?
U. Do you realize that your doctor, your
hospital, and your druggist, have to
pay not only their wholesale bills but
also their own personal bills every 30
days, and that when any of these mer
chants carries a customer over 30 days
on his books his profit is gone, and he
is losing money on his investment?
E. Do you realize what it costs to send
statements? After the second state
ment is mailed out, it costs from 35c
to 40c a statement. It is the handling
charge on the money that really
counts, not the paper, the stamp, and
ths time it takes to send it out.
So, why not quit taking advantage of your merchants and professional men, and cooper
ate with them by paying your bills sooner; and thus help the financial rating of your
trade area as well?
By so doing, you are not only helping to keep your own credit good, but you are help
ing your merchant and your doctor to keep on a sound credit basis.
