Go ahead—that’s your privilege—thinking I’m
just plain hipped on everlastingly keeping this
engine's insides oil-plated with Conoco N'h

other ways that would have kept engine acids
from raising Ned with this pre-Pearl Harbor
limousine. But one thing I know is this: it’s
still running swell on nothing but Conoco N'/>
motor oil. You needn’t be a scientist to know
that acids from every explosion are forever trying
to spoil an engine. Looks like the proper idea is
to try blockading those acids by getting your
engine oil-PLated. I learned there’s a modern
synthetic in Conoco NUi oil that reminds you of
magnetism, because it makes inside surfaces at-
tract a shield of oil-plating. Acids can’t so
easily tear right into this. Then your oil-plated
engine has an extra chance to last you. When
new cars arrive, hurray! But a real advanced
improvement right now is to switch to Conoco

Texans To Hear
Voices Of Men In
Service Next Monday
For the first time since the
invasion, Texans on the hottie-
front next Monday will hear the
voices of their husbands, sons
..wads fighting on the
battle-fronts of France, when
the United War Chest of Texqs
presents its state-wide network
radio program, “The Texan’s
Share in the War.”
Plans for the unique program
were announced today by Way-
land D Towner, UWCT general
manager, whose staff arranged
the broadcast with cooperation
of the British Broadcasting Com-
pany and the three Texas radio
networks.
The thirty-minute program
will consist almost entirely of
short-waved interviews with
Texas men abroad, Towner said.
From Normandy and other bat-
tlefronts fronts, Texas fighting
men will talk by short-wave
with the folks back home in a
series of informal ‘chats’ the war
chest official explained. In addi-
tion, Larry Allen, famed Associa-
ted Press war correspondent, will
tell briefly of his 13 months in
a Nazi prisoner-of-war camp. ,
The broadcast, one of the most
unusual staged during the war,
will be introduced by Judge Ben
H. Powell, state war chest presi-
dent. Music for the production,
which will originate in the stu- __
dios of the University of Texas —
Radio House, will be by the 8th
Service Command military band.
The program will be carried •
by all three Texas radio net-
'.vorks and by independent sta-
tions from 9:30 to 10 P. M., Mon-
day, August 28. _

These soirtters of the Combnt
Support Wing, the Air Service
Command's crack trucking or-
ganization,' are rushing bombs
from railheads to airfields' for
zpecial delivery to the Nazis.
Their record was hung up

number of trucks theoretically
■squired.
At times they haul huge bombs
directly from the railhead car

The crOws are working twenty-
four hours a day to keep pace
with the tremendous demand
for bombs.

Prepare Now For
Mailing Christmlif
Packages Overseas
It's not long until time to
start mailing your Christmas
packages to boys overseas. ^je
period for Christmas mailing^to
Army and Navy overseas forces
is Sept. 15 to October 15. After
October 15 no gift parcel may be
mailed to a soldier without the
] presentation of A written request
] from him,' Postal authorities an-
nounce. .
So now is the time to begin
•saving strong string and box
material and start to plan shop-
ping, the authorities warn.
The authorities warn that the
boxes must be -strong, because
many packages sent last year
were crushed in transit and the
gift and the outside wrapper
became separated. The address
should be shown on both inSide
and outside wrapper, arid , the
Postal authori'ies at Washing-
ton give this instruction rela-
tive to the packing: ,1
"Unhappily many people be-
came convinced that a shoe box
is the best possible container.
If the gifts are to be protected
in transit they must be packed
in boxes made of metal,-wood,
solid fiberboard, or strong double
faced currugated fibreboard, rein-
forced with strong gummed
paper tape or tied with strong
twine. If both tape and strong
twihe are used so much better.
If the outer wrapper is crushed
—and this is likely to happen—
the loss of contents may be ■
preven'ed if fiberboard boxes
are wrapped in heavy ’ paper.' ' ‘
“Among the important rules to
remember are the following:
“The parcel must not exceed '
five pounds and must not be “]
more than 15 inches in length i
or 36 inches in length and girth
combined.—It should, be mark-
ed Christmas Parcel so that it
may be_given special attention
to assure’its arrival before Dec. I
25. Not more than one parcel I
may be mailed to the same
member of armed fojQcj>j: by pr 1
for same mailer.”
