Woman's Chub Has
'Best Party of Year'
Not a moment of ennui was al
lowed to mar the entire evening
at the Valentine party of the
Seward Woman’s Club held at
the home of Mrs. Thomas Howell
Thursday, Feb. 14, and it was
termed the "best party of the
year."
Very clever “mixer" games
and a comedy skit entitled
“Swinging the Votes,” were ar-.
ranged by the program commit
tee. Members of the cast were
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Malin,
Mrs. llowell and Miss Ruth Rey
nolds, with Mrs. Bucky Nelson
as reader.
Special music was rendered by
visitors. Two vocal solos by Miss
Betty Boyd and violin solos by
Miss Bollinger were accompa
nied by Miss Jane McMullen at
i ho piano. A trio of tenor and
alto l'lule played by the Misses
Sara and Lura Peck, and clarinet
played by Miss Donna Overturf
with piano accompaniment by
Miss Audney Horton.
A bake sale was planned for
March 8 at McMullen’s, to begin
at 11 a.m.
A number of visitors were
present, bringing attendance at
the party to about 40. Cherry
tarts and coffee were served by
the refreshment committee.

“Why shouldn’t
you haul the other
fellow’s oil?”
One of the things people ask about
Standard is why we do not let other oil
companies use all of our tankers, marine
terminals, and pipelines. They say, “Why
shouldn't you haul the other fellow's oil?"
The answer to that question is that
we’re mighty busy hauling our own, meet
ing our regular obligations to our custo
mers. Standard just can’t share all of its
transportation equipment with other
companies. And it’s unfair to ask us to
do it. It’s like asking you to let everybody
i .se use your car.
You go out and buy a car for yourself and your
family—a car big enough for your needs. So wit h
Standard. We provide whatever facilities it takes
to handle our crude oil and keep delivering our
finished products where and when they’re needed,
to customers who depend on us for service
■rsv
Now suppose you’re driving your car and
a hitchhiker thumbs a ride. You pick him up only
if you want to. The choice is yours. So again with
Standard. In our pipelines within a state, cross
ing only privately-owned land, and in our tankers,
we may choose to carry only our own oil.
But the way some people seem to want it, our
freedom of choice would be gone. It’s as if you
were to be forced to stop and pick up everybody
who lifted a thumb at you. We’d he required to
carry anybody's oil in these tankers and pipelines,
even if our own had to be set aside.
In time, if your car were taken over like that,
you’d have to buy another for your own use.
Once again, so with Standard. If we were forced
to carry competitors’ oil, we’d have to buy or
build additional facilities to handle our own. Re
sult: increased costs to us, higher prices to you.
When they’re needed for national defense. Standard makes its private facilities
available for public use. But we can’t do it as a general rule. We would lose our efficiency
-a loss to you, our customers, as well as ourselves. We don’t believe you want it that way.

Better Health for Children
Scientists all over the world
are conducting clinical work with
terramycin, newest wide-range
antibiotic, to test the efTect of
the earth-mold drug on the dis
eases of childhood. Here are some
of the results to date:
Meningitis—Terramycin brought
about complete recovery in 14
consecutive cerebro-spinal men
ingitis patients, says a Chicago
medical report. It “may prove to
be the ideal drug” for this grave
epidemic disease, cutting the usual
sulfa treatment by three days.
Virus Pneumonia — U.S. Army
doctors in Germany treated 160
virus pneumonia patients with
three antibiotics, concluded ter
ramyein is “the drug of choice”
for infants and children.
Whooping Cough — Doctors in
Seattle and Providence report
that whooping cough, childhood
disease responsible for half of all
deaths in the first six months of
life, responds to terramycin ther
apy. The antibiotic shortens the
whoop stage by GO per cent.
Pinworir.s—An American med
ical team in Haiti reports 61 pa
tients found terramycin effective
—and "considerably more toler
able”—than the usual gentian
violet treatment. Pinworm infec
tion is found throughout the world.
