"Here I've been going around
dreaming about getting a
new car as soon as the war's
won." #
"But I know better. It may be
2 or 3 years after victory
before I can make that dream
come true."
"In the meantime, the Gulf
man is helping me to keep my
old car from being a night-
mare. He says with Gulfpride*
and Gulflex** it can be kept
going until I get a new one."
"So now, I'm not worrying. By
giving It the best lubrication
I can buy, I expect to keep
on the road."

Dan Culpin Gets His
Second Wind
Dan Culpin got his plnwing done
in record time this year. He was
Fitting on his porch, enjoying a
well-deserved glass of beer,
while Bob Wirts, his neighbor,
still had over an acre to go.
It burned Rob up. wring Dan
relaxed while he worked. So
he'd stop and have a glan* of
rider—and make out that be was
in no hurry anyway.
"And that was the trouble,"
Dan explained to me "I kept on
going till I got my second wind:
and saved my rest until the job
was done. He stopped to rem-
and he never got his second
wind."
Front where I wit. there'a a
moral there for all of us. We've
lx-en working hard to win thla
war. A Utile rr«.{ may l«*>k aw-
fully templing. Hut by keeping
going, hy ne\er letting up, we
ran count on getting our Kcronri
wind that will overrome weari-
nr«i and we u& through to Vic-
tory.
