'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! Remem

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.
