State Equipment
To Test Fuel Oil
Meters in Area
The state department of ag
riculture fuel oil meter truck
will be in the southern Oregon
area for the next two and a
half weeks, according to the
Salem office.
The equipment was set up this
week at the Mcdford Associated
oil plant to test all meters
through which fuel oil and gaso
line bulk and wholesale deliv
eries are made, including gaso
line deliveries to service stations
as well as fuel oil deliveries to
homes and businesses.
J. E. Kitchen is in charge of
the equipment.
Special Truck
The special testing truck is
on the road throughout the year
and visits all wholesale plants
at least once a year. The meter
truck schedules visits to deliv
ery trucks in the area on a
schedule which is arranged to
interfere as little as possible
with plant delivery activity.
The inspector has reported
that so far this year tests re
veal that meters are in good
shape. Meters which test all
ryiht are sealed and seal goes on
in such a manner that the meter
can not be disturbed without
breaking the seal.
Meters which do not measure
correctly must be corrected be
fore the seal is attached.
The test truck will be in
Grants Pass in two weeks at the
Standard oil plant and will move
to Cave Junction later.

Pacific Employment
Has 86,700 Increase
San Francisco (U.R) Wage
nd salary employment in the
three Pacific Coast states in mid
June totaled 5.518.900, ah in
crease of 86.700 over the mid
May level, the U. S. Department
of Labor reported Thursday.
Max D. Kossoris, western re
. gional director of the depart
ment's Bureau of Labor Statis
tics, said the mid-June total was
261.200 greater than in June a
year ago.
California employment in
creased by 53.700 over the May
level to a total of 4.240.900:
Washington was up 14.000 for a
total of 779,000, and Oregon
showed a monthly gain of 19,000
workers.
Kossoris said the average
weekly earnings in the three
slates was close to $90, well
above the national average of
$79.40. He said the difference
between the two was due main
ly to industrial competition and
the number of hours worked and
did not reflect substantially
higher hourly earnings.

Comment On This and That
Br HARMAM
United Preis F
Washington 'U.R) Riding
herd on a bunch of college stu
dents is a far cry from putting
on pajamas
and looking
over the foot
lights at a cri
tic a 1 theater
mob. But Mar
guerite Shaw
has played
both roles and
loved both. Be
fore she join
j ,1.. j
Harm NirhnU r u i u
troupe of the play "The Pajama
VV. NICHOLS
eatura Writer
Game" she was dean of students
at the .American University here.
Although she was no stranger
to acting Marguerite had never
thought of making a career of
it before "The Pajama Game."
Up to then acting was strictly
for relaxation.
Had it not been for a little
prodding from her sister. Reta,
a long time professional in the
theater. Marguerite would not
be where she is now.
Rcta played the part of "Ma
bel" in "The Pajama Game" on
1 Broadway. When the road com
pany was organized she sug
gested her sister for the same
role. Nobody is sorry Reta did.
The theme of the play is set
in a pajama factory and the plot
is wound around a spat between
labor and management over a
7 '.4 cent an hour boost in pay
for the hired hands. Fun is
poked at both sides in balanced
doses.
Phone Rang Late
As "Mabel" the bookkeeper.
Marguerite gets herself into a
number of pretty funny jams.
"I've had some bad moments,
though," she told me during a
chat backstage at the National
Theater. "Like the time I picked
up the phone before it rang and
almost jumped out of my P.J.s
when it finally went off in the
middle of a sentence. I ad libbed
out of it and the audience laugh
ed. I guess the customers thought
it was part of the act."'
And another time she and
Buster West were doing a soft
shoe dance and our gal did a
prat fall. Buster gathered her
up and that took a bit of doing.
No lady likes to admit that she
stretches the scales to 180
pounds, even in flimsies like
pajamas.
Marguerite can lay claim to
a fine education. She holds an
A.B. degree from Bates College
and has a master's degree from
Columbia University. She calls
South Paris, Me., her' home
town.
Uses Good Luck Charm
Maybe you have wondered
how show people doll up for
a performance. Applying the lip
rouge and such. The "book
keeper" showed me her own
system.
First, she washes her face,
then applies some grease paint.
After that she puts on some wet
rouge, and next the eye shadow.
Face powder is smoothed on and
she sees that the brows of the
eye are free of paint and powder.
"Then," she said, 'I dab some
rouge under the chin shying
away from the second one."
Marguerite, incidentally, has
a good luck piece which she uses
regularly. It's a rabbit's foot
Reta gave her before she started
off on an 18-month tour, dur
ing which she completed 650
performances without ever hav
ing to call upon either of her
two stand ins.
She uses the bunny paw to
smooth her face after the make
up is on.
Biggest thrill she has had
came the other night when some
of her former pupils in the gal
lery here flashed an American
University banner.
