(Business had been good I that year, and I'd bought me a new ford. Sold the car in '39, but the girl stayed with me and still remains.,) It would be absolutely impossible imposs-ible to name everyone who played a part in the old station in business bus-iness or fun but Clayton Stapely could recall a, few things, and so could Layton Bishop and Cleo Whicker and the Bishop kids. While the reshuffle has caused Avery's and, if you happen to bably have been the first business in history to enter its building in the parade. So they pulled it off the night of the 3rd. It looked rather forlorn, for-lorn, trundling, along as its rear end disappeared down the far side of the overpass. Rut the end is not yet, Hugh Ivie and Grant Moulton prepared a last resting place for it out on the farm a solid concrete foundation and there it reposes re-poses and there, in all likelihood, it will stay until it falls apart. It is still useful. Of course it will never again know the sound of a horn as some motorist drives under the canopy and honks for service; there will be no more checking of the tires nor ringing of the cash register; but still it will serve as a place to keep the shovels and the canvas dams and the cycline seeder; to make a fire on a cold spring day, and to rest between water turns. And, who knows? Perhaps words like "See you and raise you ten" may echo again between its walls, ere long. Lyinulyl MARY JOHNSON a great deal of uncertainty among CAA personnel, it seems reasonable reason-able to conclude now that there will be no great shape-up at Delta. The most recently assigned man on the Delta maintenance crew. Mr. Hideo Takenaki, has been "separated", however. Shorty after af-ter his assignment to Delta Mr. Takenaki was sent to a CAA school in Oklahoma. He actually worked here only a few days. He Intends to return to the family home town to Lovelock, Nev. The communications staff was cut from six to five men a year ago, and is already at a minimum. A3C Brent Lovell, of Oak City, home on furlough the past couple of weeks tells me he enjoys reading read-ing Wingovers down in Puerto Rico where he is stationed. Concerning Con-cerning a recent item on ham radio he remarked that the hams sometimes louse up AF code frequencies fre-quencies but when asked what was the official attitude toward such ham messages as was recently re-cently sent to Japan, he indicated that it was favorable. Such transmission trans-mission serves good purposes. Good Bye Little Station It seemed like part of me, and now it's gone. Don't know why I always get attached to things. Just seem to attach too easily and find myself stuck with them. It's my old gas station I'm talking about. Someon referred to it as an old landmark the other day. Maybe May-be it was. It never was very beautiful; wasn't even the last word in gas stations when it was built; but it was practical, and people got used to it. It was more than a business. see them Willie Willoughby and Bob Stephenson,' and Max Walters, and Elwood Roberts. They were among the earliest habitues. For a time, in the early thirties, it chopped the big end of the tire business in Delta as well as most of the amateur poker games. (Gum dipped 6.0016's, $7.77. Special Spec-ial inner tube, $1.50, mounted. Who flidn't ante?) I always figured business was not, an end in itself, but rather a means to an end, the end being the enjoyment of life. So if the enjoyment could be had directly by playing poker, there seemed no point in going through the intermediate inter-mediate process of making money in business. One day Howard Dor-ius Dor-ius played poker on the station lawn eleven hours steady. Others came and went but Howard stayed stay-ed on forever, and just moved a-round a-round with the sun. Bill Starley once donated some tulip bulbs, and they bloomed prettily around the edge. The business ran, under what I like to think of as my "management", "manage-ment", for twenty two years. One might suppose that having run a gas station that long. I'd know the secret of how to make a living liv-ing at it. I do. Get a job on the side. Its opening day was noteworthy note-worthy chiefly for its dearth of customers, but its closing got nation na-tion wide publicity, thanks to the Wall Street Journal. So now it's gone, retired, like an old fire horse to the pasture. Sherman and Rulon Jones put it up on their house moving truck last week. I hoped, for a while, to send it out in a blaze of glory, in the 4th of July parade but there wa'n't to be no parade.
