plan to attend.
Three courses, allowing six hours
of university credit are being giv- i
on. Miss Fern Babcock, national
secretary of the YWCA, will lecture
on leadership in student Christian
associations. Dr. Jack Fenneg, of
the Pacific School of Education, will
teach an introduction into Christian
faith, and Dr. Buell Gallagher is
teaching an introduction into social
ethics.
Mss Hansen also is planning on
leading the Oregon delegation to Y
Camp Seabeck from June 15 to 22.
Those planning to attend are Beryl
Howard, Beth Easier, Anne Whit
aker, Shirley Multhauf, Violet
Meisenholder, Marcia Summers, El
len Sutherland, Sylvia Jensen, Bob
Clark, Hariette Tozier, Norm Die
bel, Bill Lieuallen, Malcom McCal
lum, Robert Northrup, and Dave

In 1898 the medical school be*
ame a member of the American
Medical association, accepting the
entrance requirements of that body
nd the enrollment increased from
9 in 1893 to S9 to 1902.
1. The worst energies of grease are heat, cold,
water and vibration. Consequently, one of the
hardest things to lubricate is an airplane. Until
recently, the only answer was to use a number
of different greases — heat-resistant, cold-re
sistant, water-resistant, etc. —and lubricate
the plane frequently.
2* Even then, airlines had a high replacement
parts problem due to lubrication failure. Know
ing this, our Union Oil engineers realized there
would be an excellent market for a grease that
would lick the problem. And since we were in
competition, and wanted business, they set out
to find one.
3. The result was a strontium base grease we
named Strona. Strona proved to be absolutely
insoluble in water. In its two grades it gave
maximum protection at any temperature from
300° F. to -40°F. And it would lubricate 90% of
the parts on a transport plane — a job which
formerly took 8 to 12 different greases.

14. In the first service test made with Strona, a
leading airline lubricated each of its ships on
one side with Strona and on the other side with
regular greases. During the 10-month test, the
Strona-lubricated sides of their ships went 7
times as long between grease changes as the
other sides.
5* Furthermore, not one part lubricated with
Strona showed any sign of breakdown during
the entire 10 months—the first time in the
line’s history that this had happened. As a
result, that airline and several others are now
using Strona almost exclusively.
6. Naturally we're happy about this new prod
uct. But more important, we believe, are the
economic conditions that inspired its develop
ment. Under anything but the American system
of free, competitive enterprise we would never
have had the incentive to put the time and ef
fort we did behind Strona or behind the other
product research we’re continuing to do today.
