was strk.
“Next day. doctors diagnosed her Illness as polio For almost a year,
Sylvia lias been in an iron lung fighting for her life. Nevertheless, she's
taking one history course and trying to keep up a little with her studies
'She iwy not be-in school but her classmates haven't forgotten her,
for this week the football team chose her to be its queen at homecoming
activities Here today
"It'll be a real homecoming for Sylvia, for once again La Marque Is
playing La Porte with title hopes in the balance
And once again, a plucky little girl who won’t quite when the going
gets rough will be on the field for a heart-warming tribute from her
friends “
Oeneral Rooert J Smith, chairman of the 1953 Texas March of

A new type motor oil for the new cars
Your new car needs this new type oil
Prevents "4000-mile knock.** Many 1952 and practically
xll the 1953 automobiles have high compression engines.
You've heard about these fine new engines.
You know, for example, that they require gasoline with
extra anti-knock performance ... a gasoline like Humble
Esso Extra.
Now, Detroit's automotive engineers have discovered
that high compression engines need an entirely new type
of motor oil. With conventional oils in the crankcase, the
new engines have a tendency to ping, or knock, after four
to eight thousand miles of driving.
This "1000-mile knock" is caused hy combustion cham-
ber deposits, these increase the compression ratio to a point
where no commercial gasoline will give you anti-knock
performance.
Mumble Fmo Uniflo, an entirely new type motor oil.
prevents the formation of deposits that cause *'4000-mUe
knock" in high compression engines if you begin to use it
regularly in the first 1000 miles of driving.
Protects oflointt friction wsor and odd corrosion. Second,
the engineers discovered that friction is the chief cause of
wear in automobile engines. Moving parts in the new
engines are so carefully machined that they fit very closely.
This gives you much better performance from your car,
but it also requires superior lubrication. Heavy oils and oils
that "chicken" in cold weather don’t flow readily between
such closely fitting para. The mult is excessive wear from
friction, and expensive engine overhauls ... To minimise
frictioo wear . . . again you need Humble's new Esso Uniflo
Motor Oil.
Bsso Uniflo has such an amasingly high viscosity index
diet k gives you the quick-flowing characteristics of an SAE
9W oil at 29* below aero Fahrenheit, and the laugh, full
body of an SAB 20 el at 110* Fahrenheit.
Furthermore, the additives In Imo Uniflo art anti-acid
■ thh new type oil cun acid corrosion as much aa 509b-
You Need Only One Grode of Humble Isso Uniflo.
You use it year 'round. Esso Uniflo meets all the speci-
fications for SAE viscosity classifications 5W, 10W,
20W and 20. It is a heavy duty, detergent oil, recom-
mended for API service classifications ML (light duty),
MM (medium duty), MS (severe dury) and DG (gen-
eral diesel duty). Its viscosity index is amazingly high.
Premium Value-Premium Price
Humble Esso Uniflo costs something more than most
motor oils. But you'll agree that the small extra cost_
less than one-tenth of a cent for each mile of driving_
is cheap insurance against "4000-mile knock," friction
wear, and acid corrosion!
A Word to Owners
of Older Automobiles
If you use an oil meeting SAE viscosity classifications
up to 20—you will find it profitable to change to
Humble s new type Esso Uniflo. It will protect your car
against friction wear and acid corrosion; reduce starting
drag and extend battery life.
If your engine has just been rebuilt—change to Easo
Uniflo. It will prevent the deposits causing "4000-mile
knock , it will protect against wear from friction •nil
corrosion, reduce starting drag and extend battery Ufa.
If you use SAE JO or SAE 40 ofl—Humble continues to
recommend Esso Extra Motor Oil No. 3, a high quality,
boavy duty, detergent oil with a viscosity index
only ao dun of Emo Uniflo,
