by ./employes of the United Gas
Pipe Line Company and its
two affiliated companies, the
United Oil Pipe Line Sompany
and the Union Producing Com-
pany, have passed the $1,000,000
mark, according to information
released this week by the pay-
roll department of the com-
panies.
Figures released by the com-
panies do not include “personal”
bond purchases made through
agencies other than the pay-
roll deduction system, the re-
port pointed out.
As of July 31, total purchases
through the payroll deduction
plan had reached $1,040,914.75,
nnce inauguration of the plan
on February 1, 1942. Of this
amount, the 2,047 employes of
United Gas Pipe Line Company
accounted for $796,918.72; Union
Producing Company’s 424, for
$228,084.38; and United Oil Pipe
Line Company, with 38 mem-
ployes, for $15,971.75.
The personnel of the com-
panies subscribed to bonds suf-
ficient to reach the “10%
Club”—at least 90% of the en-
tire personnel alloting at least
10% of the total payroll to bond
purchases—within a few weeks
after the plan was inaugurated
The allotment figures since that
time never has dropped below
9.2% of the total payroll, the
report discloses. For most of the
two and a half year period it
has been above the 10% figure.

borne well is a Luttichau. An-
other variety which Mr. Cum-
berland has found successful
is the Palis. Five of six trees
on toe farm have yielded en-
ough peaches for the family to
give some away, eat some fresh
and to can three dozen pints,
ui spite of the depredations of
birds.

Old Men’s Breakfast
Club Popular Feature
Dan Bannister of Dainger-
field, Texas, was the star guest
on the Breakfast Club with
Don McNeil, recently. He insti-
gated a new idea in clubs, au-
proved by the “Messers” of
Ceremonies, called the “Old
Men’s Breakfast Club.” All the
members of the new club, ac-
cording to Mr. Bannister, must
be over 65 years old. The pur-
pose of the club is not quite
clear but Mr. Bannister will
most likely find one since he is
most resourceful. His resource-
fulness was demonstrated when
Don asked him if HE were over
65. His answer was, “I’M the
BRAINS of the club”.
The Breakfast Club has been
voted the most popular pro-
grams on the air. Hundreds
have been turned away every
day, so that now tickets must
be obtained at least, two weeks
in advance by anyone visiting
Chicago. KFRO listeners would
be wise to remember this if
they intend to attend a session
of the Breakfast Club, while in
Chicago.

importance of the Polish areas

German loss of the largest
part of the District of Galicia,
Central Poland, Polish Silesia
and of the Northwestern Pro-
vinces of Poznan and Pomorze

ways:—1, It would deprive Ger-

industries as iron and steel,
engineering and oil refining; 2,
It would deprive her of a large
source of war labor; 3, It would F^r County uiwu:

comparatively free from Allied
bombing in which she had been
developing new war industries.
