JACK PARNELL
Highway Hostess Says Tourist Travel
Will Reach All-Time Peak during 1940
Dumont News
By Mrs. V. M. Hand
Early expectations that 1940
would be the all-time peak year
in motor travel have been more
than borne out, according to Miss
Ruth Cline, Phillips 66 highway
hostess who spent Monday in this
vicinity.
Driving nearly 4,000 miles
every month, she is well qualified
to speak, for a great share of her
eleven highway hostesses sponsor-
ed by the Phillips Petr,oleum-
company to help motor travelers
and to inspect the certified clean
rest rooms in Phillips 66 service
stations. Each of these young wo-
men travels through a section
of Phillips territory performing a
wide variety of seiwices. A visit
with one of these “couriers of
MISS RUTH CLINE
work is aiding tourists, and she
comes in contact with them every-
day. A registered nurse, she drives
a car especially equipped to rend-
er assistance to motorists; carry-
ing first aid equipment, tools, and
a supply of fresh ice water. In ad-
dition to these tangible forms of
assistance, she has a world of in-
formation which is of benefit to
tourists. She knows highway
routes and their conditions, she
knows the best hotels and res-
taurants in hundreds of towns,
and she knows places- of interest
which will attract tourists. A day’s
work for her may include any-
thing relating to tourist travel,
from simple road information to
helping a tired mother with a
fretful baby . . . from giving
first aid in case of an accident to
answering some question about
ipetroleum products. She is a
combination of information bu-
reau, saleslady, nurse, philosopher,
and1 friend.
Miss Clive is one • of a corps of
comfoid” reveals an almost un-
believable number of difficulties
in which motor travelers find
themselves, and there is practical-
ly no such situation in which a
highway hostess cannot be of as-
sistance.
One of the outstanding trends
in modern motoring is the inter-
est women are taking in car
purchases, and operation. As an
aid to them, a great part of the
highway hostess’s work is helping
them to gain knowledge and com-
fort. In addition to working with
service station operators to main-
tain “hospital-clean rest rooms,”
Miss Cline and her colleagues
make suggestions about land-
scaping and other forms of ser-
vice station beautification.
Furthermore, the young women
are familiar with petroleum pro-
ducts, and are able to advise wo-
men' about the numerous products
used in their cars.
During the next several weeks,
the highway hostesses anticipate

Paducah Girl Gets
Degree At WTSC
CANYON, Aug. 30—Miss Lo-
rene Metcalf, of Paducah, re-
ceived a bachelor degree at West
Texas State college at the thir-
t i e t h commencement exercises
Aug. 23.
Dr. H. W. Stilwell, superinten-
dent of Texarkana public schools
delivered the commencement ad-
dress. West Texas State gradu-
ated a total of 265 people this
year. Twenty one students re-
ceived master’s degrees this sum-
mer.
Miss Metcalf was granted the
bachelor of arts degree. ,
an exceptionally busy season, as,
in addition to helping the greatly
increased number o f motorists
during vacation season, they plan
to be in attendance at county and
state fairs to give first aid. This
service, affered free of charge, is
but another form of providing for
the comfort and convenience of
travelers. Every year, on the road
and at large gatherings, highway
hostesses bandage innumerable
cuts and bruises, treat countless
cases of fainting, prostration, and
illness.
Through the varied nature of
her work, the highway hostess is
helping her profession to take on
an even more widespread sphere
of service. Her work shows clear-
ly the steps which are being taken
by business organizations to give
as complete service as is possible.
The service station has long been
the standby of motorists, and now,
with highway hostesses to supple-
ment its functions, its assistance
is carried out all along the length
of highways and byroads.

Did I get the //rt4e$uiq/i when I said
electric rates had been cut in half!
w
‘\7’OU see, I work for the electric company and so the other night at a
■E. little party I got to sounding off about the way electric rates have been
steadily reduced to about half what they were twelve or fifteen years ago.
Boy, did I get the horselaugh!
“Sure,” says one of the fellows, “I suppose that’s why my electric bill
is higher than it ever was.”
“Hold on,” I said. “I know what’s bothering you. Your bill is as big as
it ever was. Maybe bigger. So is mine. But you forget we’re using more
juice. We didn’t always have radios, refrigerators, clocks, and percolators,
and irons, and maybe a dozen other things.”
“That’s not all,” I said. “You not only get twice as much juice for your
money. You get better service than you ever got. And what does it cost?”
I ask. “For most of our customers it’s less than a dime a day. Light, music,
refrigeration, cool breezes, good coffee, hot toast, cool ironing, and it costs
about a dime a day. It’s the biggest bargain there is, and it’s getting bigger
all the time.”
