Tlie American chiefs of staff
seem to have answered effectively
those who were disturbed because,
reportedly, 73 per cent of the
“second front” invasion force will
be made up of Americans.
The British, say the chiefs of
staff, “are going to put in every-
thing we can get there.”
If there is any better formula
for invading the continent and
realizing General Eisenhower’s
hope to end the European war this
year, none of the critics have sug-
gested it.
We might just as well get it
through our heads right away that
this is not somebody else’s war.
It is our war, Just as much as
theirs. Our men are dying and
more of them are going to die.
Our men are being maimed, and
more of them are going to be
maimed. Our national future de-
pends upon the outcome. We have
to contribute, to the full extent \
’ of our resources in men, as well
as In materiel, to making that out-
come favorable.

Finally, turn off the heat as soon
as the food is done, but before re-
moving containers from the stove.
Mrs. Claytor adds the suggestion
to keep one-dish meals in mind.
Many are fuel savers, and they
save the cook’s time, too.

using it to capacity but taking care
not to overcrowd. Heating the oven
is a major portion of the fuel cost
in each baking job so it is thrifty
to do several jobs in a row.
Use the right pan with the right
burner or unit. Flame from a large
burner flowing up around a small
pan wastes fuel. On the other hand

countless car owners, that the old bus
would still be running strong in 1944!
They say it with wonder . . . and that is a
tribute to the lasting quality which American
automobile and rubber companies built into
cars and tires. ^
They say it with pride . . . and that is
recognition of the vital part each car plays
in helping to solve the nation's wartime trans-
portation problem.
So, to the man who has made his car last,
this is a deserved word of thanks. You have
done your part in two ways: By driving under
35, and by driving to your service station at
least once a week for wartime car-saving and
tire-saving care.
This help is always available, ready and
waiting, at every Phillips 66 Service Station.
Tire-Saving Service includes weekly check-
ing of air pressures . . . inspection'for cuts
and bruises . . . crisscrossing with the spare
every 3,000 miles . . . recommendation for
recapping. Car-Saving Service includes in-
spection of battery, radiator, air filter . , .
lubrication of every friction point specified
by the maker of your car.
Remember, you are helping to “Guard
America’s Mileage” when you drive in for
