From your own experience, we think you'll
agree that motorists are most critical Of engine
performance, power and mileage when their
cars ore new.
Thousands of these critical new car owners,
in l4O cities, were asked which gasoline they
preferred on the basis Of actual performance.
Blue Sunoco came out way ahead Of any
other gasoline-including those selling at
premium prices-and led its nearest CON-
petitor by 81 5% more votes
Since its performance won first place among
owners Of new cars with high compression
engines, obviously, III older cars Blue Sunoco
should be equally efficient. Test it in your car

Contaminated Celery
Is Cause Of Epidemic

Recent investigation conducted
by DR.. Adolph j. Roth, chairman
of the public health committee at
Washington State College, points
an accusing finger at contaminated
celery as the agent by which the
public was infected with the organ
ism causing dysentery.
The investigation indicated that
persons eating the affected celery
became Ill from twelve to forty
hours later. Correspondence with
various public health authorities
showed that a wide spread epidemic
of dysentery had occurred IN the
western states the early part of De-
cember, 1887 Once celery is IN
fected, ordinary washing with a
brush reduces the total bacterial
count several hundred per cent. But
washing contaminated celery will
not render it safe. Recent samples
of celery tested have not been
found infected with the organism
causing dysentery.

Cold Weather Need
Not Hinder Pruning

Temperatures that are several de-
grees below freezing need not de-
lay pruning of fruit trees, say
State College of Washington horti-
cultrrists. Frozen wood will split
much easier than that not frozen,
but if the pruning is done care
fully there seems to be no greater
injury done at below freezing tenn
peratures than at other times.
Several years ago the horticul-
ture department at the State Col
lege pruned some trees while the
temperature was below freezing,
and pruned neighboring trees in
the same orchard while the tenn
perature was above freezing both
before and after extreme cold spells.
There was no apparent difference
in the effect on the tissues around
the pruning wounds. No injury was
done to any of the tissue.
Injury of pruning wounds seems
to be more the result of weather
conditions following the pruning
than weather conditions at the
time the pruning is done.

CHALLENGE

eve the members of the class of
'38 of the White Bluffs High School
deem ourselves superb specimens of
mankind. However, we do not claim
that we are mentally and physically
superior, but we do claim that we
have as yet to meet our superiors
of these attributes. Inasmuch as we
hold an exalted opinion of ourselves
both individually and collectively,
we should like very much to ex-
hibit some of our many and varied
talents.
1--WE believe we as class have
proved our mental capacities by
leading-with little or no opposi-
tion--in the race for the coveted
"honors plaque" awarded annually
for scholastic achievement. Having
previously manifested our trans
cendent ability of mind we have
as yet to prove our physical pre-
e1ninence. Such is the primary pur-
pose of so modest an article as this.
1--WE, the senior class of the
White Bluffs High School, chal-
lenge you-and we do mean you-
our public, to a game OF basket
ball to be held ON the spacious
maple court of the community hall
sometime in the not too distant
future.
1T is not our contention that
we possess the greatest, most in
vincible of basketball teams, but We
do contend that we have the great
est basketball quintet that we have
ever had occasion to see or hear Of.

her parents home as valentine
in 1921. For her first few months
she resided in Spokane. She has
lived in Veraita for several years
and has attended high school here
in White Bluffs.
One reason she has gained such
height is because of her yearly
scrambling up cherry trees on her
Dads ranch.
She confded very secretly that
she thought she would like to be
a nurse when she grew up"
Miss Sigurdson has a couple OF
well known nicknames and I be-
lieve we all know her better by
