Yes, Shamrock's getting the ploy.
— and for a good reason: LUB-
RICATING ABILITY is what you
want and what you buy when
you change oil. Shamrock heavy
duty oil has proved its ability.
Anti-oxidant and anti corrosive
additives toughen the oil film —
high detergent elements take out
dirt particles which prevent oil
from clinging to the cylinder
walls. Result — faster, more
complete lubrication, less wear.
This Fall change early and
change to Shamrock.

the houses along the water' way are
part of the city an^ the' river Is a.
very busy plfce.
The streets' are filled , with cars,
many American made, and'bicycles
pulling a two wheeled rickshaw.
There are supposed to be 15,000
of them. The shops have anything
you want to buy.
They have a government similar
to threat Britain. The people are
busy,- hftppy and economically se-
cure. '
They live along the waterways
and raise their crops of rice and
vegetables, transporting their pro-
duce up and down the rivers.
Prom the air yon see a patch
work of green or flooded rice
fields crisscrossed with rivers and
canals. Their houses all along the
banks on either side are nearly
hidden by trees which line the
waterways.
Taking a boat trip down the riv-
er early in. the morning we got
another view of these orientals
beginning their day's work
Every inch of space along each
bank has a frame building off
the ground a few Teet with sides
open and people living there with
their farms behind the houses.
Thousands were bathing, washing
their teeth, doing their morning
toilet, washing clothes, men bath-
ing babies, swimming in the river.
Many were eating bowls of popped
rice for breakfast, feeding the hun-
dreds of yellow robed young priests
who paddled along in their canoes
to accept bowls of uncooked rice
from the people who could afford
and watited to give. These priests
were healthy looking. They seemed
to know just where to stop.
TRADE IS BRISK
There was a beehive of activity
ooats loaded with produce, wood
cocoanut, sugar, flowers, loaded
targes, three or four tied to one
boat, being towed in—all going
to market.
Our guide says the elephants
still bring tcakwood out from the
northern part. Rubber is another
important export.
There are 300 BuddahLsi temples 2-
in Bangkok. We visited one which1
was very elaborate. The temple
was enclosed by a wall inside of
which were many- houses and pa-
godas for the different priests and
worshipers.
The King's Palace covers a
square mile. Enclosed by a wall,
its many ornate buildings and pa-
godas are covered with steep,
slanted roofs, tiled and in many
tiers. The walls are covered with-
in and without by many millions

Much has been said about the
beer cans alSng our highways lead-
ing in and out of Amarillo. Last
week James M. Harris of the State
Highway Maintenance Dept. gave
us the following information on
these roads in an article written
for the Amarillo Globe-Times. Ac-
cording to Mr. Harris four men
work continually on one highway
or the other picking up these cans
and bottles. $380.00 per week in
the peak season is spent picking
up this litter. When the beer in-
dustry prints in glowing words the
great amount of taxes that they
pay; items such as these are nev-
er mentioned by thfem. This would
amount to almost $100.00 per week
per highway leading out of town.
I wonder Just how many of the
slop-joints it would take to pay
just this expense with their great
amount of taxes.

According to'a recent article writ-

Europe are busy mapping out a
giant Marshall plan for the future
in which Uncle Sam will continue
to pour our dollars into their open

for a world support price for all
the farmers of the whole world
with dear old big hearted Uncle
Sam doing all the supporting. Any-

We saw "The King and I," a

about a school teacher by the name
of Anna who taught the fourth
King of Siam's son abuot Abe Lin-

saw the little open air house in

taught the royal children.
The fifth king, the little boy

gave it a sound economy.
MODERN HOTEL
The Oriental Hotel here is a
tropical looking place with very
high celings. open air dining room,
open hallways, floors covered with
matting. Our bathroom has wire
screen for the ceiling, swinging
doors that you can nearly see over
and under, and besides the ordinary
bath fixtures a huge stone jar filled
with water under a faucet.
Our food in all these far eastern
countries has been wonderful. We
have more than we can eat of well
seasoned, good food. We enjoy the
fresh fruit which they serve at tho
end of every meal.

SINGAPORE
Singapore is a British free port
of one milion population two-
thirds of which are Chinese, on a
strategic sea lane of traffic. It is
the seventh largest city in the
British Commonwealth. It is an
excellent shelter for ships and its
greatness comes from its being in
close touch with the spice islands,
the East Indies, whose prdouce are
so much in demand and yet on the
sea routes along which Malayans,
Chinese and Indians hive to move
in search of trade or privacy.
Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819 saw
the value of this strategic harbor
and trading center and, as a ser-
vant of the East Indain Company,
was able to influence the British
to secure a treaty to gain sovereign
rights to make Singapore a free

tion had torn the wonderful old
song "I'm Bound for the Promised
Land" out of all their song books
and never intended to sing it any-
more; being in Texas, they thought
they were already there.

Just this one little paragraph a-
bout politics as it is so near elec-
tion Two more short weeks and we
will pick the man who will try to
lead as for the next four years.
One thing for sure we ought to
vote. If we fail to vote, and to vote
as our heart and mind tells us. we
are failing those who will have to
take our place as citizens of this
great country. We will have to con-
fess to them that we let them down
So let's all vote. Let's all vote our
sentiments. The sentiments that
our better judgment tells us is
right and I, for one, have a lot of
faith of the verdict that is reached
When America Speaks.
