'I Drive Slow I THAT'S a question some of my best customers have been asking me ever since driving under 40 became both sensible and patriotic. They've been figuring and maybe you have too, that oil ought to work longer than 1000 miles between changes. But here's the catch: With all ' of the starts, stops, and idling, your engine may go 1300 miles or more while the speedometer reads only a thousand! Stopping, starting, and idling not only mean extra hours of wprk for your motor, but increased con tamination by gasoline and water. No matter how you drive, it's wise to come in for a refill of clean, fresh RPM Motor Oil every Thousand Miles! What Does a Soldier Do On His Day Off? WELL, what would, any of ub do in a strange town, with no friends, practically no money, and ?rdere to be back on duty in 24 hours? The USO clubs,mo vies, and stage shows are doing a grand job of solving this problem for the boys in the armed forces. I don't think there's any sweller way to show our gratitude to this coun try's fighting men than to make a contribution to the USO!

Torpedoed Boat's Survivor Put In Lifeboat by Nazis (By the Associated Press) Two young seamen from a United States cargo ship, the tor pedoing of which was announced today by the navy, told a story of being taken aboard the attacking U-boat and later being put afloat In a lifeboat. ' Cornelius F. O'Connor, 19, of Norfolk, Va., said the submarine was forced to crash-dive to escape navy planes shortly after It took him and Raymond Smlthson, 24, of Galveston, Tex., aboard. Their ship was sunk June 3 in the Car ibbean, the navy announced, with 15 seamen still missing from a 45-man crew, I , The sinking boosted to 391 the unofficial Associated Press tabu lation of United Nations' and neu tral merchant vessels lost In the western Atlantic since Pearl har bor. The seamen when put afloat In a lifeboat were stocked with wat er and hardtack. The hardtack, they said, was "unfit to feed a dog." Undersea raiders were credited with having picked off five other merchantmen in announcements yesterday but were pictured as having "missed the boat" during big transatlantic convoy opera tions of last winter. The navy disclosed that a single task force has escorted 2,400 mer chant craft across the north At lantic last winter with a loss of only eight ships. The disclosure came with an nouncement of a posthumous award of a distinguished service medal to the late Admiral Arthur Leroy Bristol, Jr., 55, of Charles ton, S. C, who died at sea of nat ural causes April 20 after seeing approximately 60 convoys across the Atlantic with a minimum loss.
