The finul success) of any pro-
lusion lies pot only In the af-
ore but depends on people who
jet no glory or praise and yet
leserve ample credit for their
tard work. “An Old Kentucky
Jarden" choral operetta to he
rrjgented in the city auditorium
vrtPch 23, has many behind-stago
vorkers who merit praise for
he job.
Tlie dancing of the operetta
nay seem simple and graceful
oiU in reulity old-fashioned steps
iiv hard to learn. Jackie Pow-
ers has charge of dancing and
make-up for the operetta.

Without Winifred Walker to
give sound and light to the dia-
logue, the actions would be flat
and meaningless.
Jackie Sheets is responsible
for finances. Since he took the
mumps. Gusta Goettsche has
taken charge.
Learning to play 22 numbers
perfectly to accompany the
chorus calls for work, patience,
and practice. Peggy Mayfield,
as chorus accompanist and stu-
dent, director, has had to be pre-
sent at every rehearsal.
The success or failure of a pro-
duction depends largely on the
publicity. Posters, prominently
displayed can bring in a large
crowd but it is the stories in the
papers that attract the eyes.
Ann Martin is in charge of
publicity and posters for the op-
eretta. She lias written stories
and supervised making posters.
Her assistants Marita Williams
and Ernestine Wilson have been
in charge of posters displayed.

V/ntch what you say! Up where the heat doesn't
jumble the sound vnvea, say polar explorers, you
could be ovcrhcfr1 1 >r a mile! Well, just let cli-
mate plry tricks, hut not on your car. Winter oil
in i!:-' crankcase today is a threat. You must
change for Spring, and you can hrve ail the wear-
resistance of OIL-i’l.A-rNO in your engine by
chaneins to Conoco motor oil.
This patented oil’s 1 dded ingredient—a great
research nehievement—fastens protective oil-
plating 10 your engine's fine inner finish, by
magnet-like action. And there's high-strength
liquid film besides! That’s how Conoco N"> oil
multiplies resistance to wear , . , conserves your
engine—and power!... holds down carbon gum,
and sludge . . . helps to make oil and gasoline
last you!
Even standing overnight—when acids trapped
inside threaten any engine most —yours will have
oil the special corrosion resistance of OIL-PLATINO
, . . yours will have its full chance to live! So
change to Conoco hP*1 motor oil —now—for
Spring. Continental Oil Company
