Special exercises were held in the theater to present service pins to 17 employees at the sta tion for 30, 20 and 10 years gov ernment service, and for sugges tion awards given for ideas to improve operations, to three of the personnel. The importance of the awards program which began last No vember, was stressed by Acting Manager H. Denning, who presided at the meeting and maHa tha nrpcpnfatmnf Need Emphasised H. J. Heitkemper, personnel officer, emphasized the need for special recognition as a means of projecting the best interests of government service to the pub lic. Eric Allen Jr., city editor of the Medford Mail Tribune, as principal speaker, traced the history of public service from 1 its establishment in China in about 200 B. C. He pointed out that proven merit was the chief civil services, which lasted al most 2,000 years. fThe "spoils system," which was' responsible for the present civil service system in the United States, followed early efforts of the founding fathers to place public service on a high' plane, he said. .The fact that "Camp White is what it is today" is due to the dedication of personnel to serv ice rather than politics, he in dicated. He called attention to the future prospect of providing care for the WWII, men and urged "levelheadedness, fore sight and courage" in facing the tasks ahead. Makes Two Points Two points for consideration he gave were, 1. Protect the rights of the individual, and . 2. Don't be afraid to try something new. The fact that those who thought of something new are recognized is encouraging, he said. Acting Assistant Manager R. H. Ruff in ' summed up the pro gram with the statement that Camp White looks forward to many more occasions of this kind. He thanked Allen for coming out and also the Eagle Point High school band under direction of Steve Whipple, for providing music. Appreciation for the help extended by the domiciliary staff in preparing the program was also expressed by Ruffin in his concluding re-remarks. The top honors, 30 year gold service pins, were awarded to Miss Grace Stuhr, chief nurse at Camp White since 1949, and Edward B. Shelton, of the en gineering division, whose five years of civil service is supple mented by more than 30 years cf active duty with the U. S.

But his walk was short that day. For a big, handsome Cadillac with its smiling driver traveling in the lad's direction stopped and gave him a "lift." And as he stood on the schoolhouse lawn and watched the car roll into the distance, . he' made a decision. He decided that, some day, he would own a Cadillac. .And tere you see him, his dream come -rear- 1 i T Ultt Jl ecision I true, standing in the showroom ; of his Cadillac dealer taking the keys to a new 1955 Cadillac! As a Cadillac dealer, we've been privi leged many times to see such 'a dream come true. And it never ceases to be a thrill. But we do feel, in all sincerity, that many motorists not realizing the Cadillac car is practical as well as wonderful wait too long to make the move. The lowest-priced Cadillac, for example, actually costs less than twelve different models of other makes. Its economy of operation is far beyond anything you could (MAX 143 SOUTH RIVERSIDE MEDFORD logically anticipate from a car of Cadillac's size and luxury. And at the time of resale, a Cadillac traditionally returns a greater share of its owner's investment than any other i ..i. i j f . If, like the gentleman in the picture above, r you have been looking forward to a Cadillac of your own you should give careful con sideration to these remarkable facts. It is entirely possible that the time for f your Cadillac has come--and as we said, it is always a pleasure to help make such a dream come true. Better come in and see us today.
