Any motorist unfortunate enough to experience the failure of

if he is again able to use tne machine within six or eight weeks
or longer, -motor experts declare. . The reasons: Extreme shortage of
certain bearings, gears, pistons, valve stems and guides, rear axles,
gaskets and other essentials; acute shortage of kiiled mechanics;
rapidly increasing breakdowns of many cars, especially models five
years oia or oiaer.

Umbrella Symbol
Of Caution; Needed
To Protect Cars
"When you see that funny little
guy illustrated in General Petro
leum advertisements in 4 the act
of holding an umbrella over a
car," says T. C Clark, South Com
mercial and Owens streets, Mobil

for: Caution. And that's enough!
If we were all cautious and con
scientious about having our ma
chines thoroughly serviced and in
spected when the weather changes,
we" would have less grief. Yes, our
machines would serve us longer,
So, I say, heed the umbrella man,
and winter-proof.
Announcement of the resignation
of Carl (Zeke) Curlee as secretary
of the Albany chamber of I com
merce did not .come as much of a
surprise to a good many residents
of the city, sines it is the third
time Curlee has taken such action.
But it is more than likely this time
he will not reconsider his decision.
"Zeke," who came to Albany
seven years ago from Corpus
Christ!, Tex., has faced many
problems during his residence
here. In nearly every case he has
been! the winner. One exception
was the latest plan, to change the
name of Berlin to Distomo, when

However, Curlee has been In
strumental in helping to bring
many worthwhile business enter
prises to the city of Albany. He
was a factor in the development
of the dormant airport; engineered
the organization of a local I Na

' During his residence here, Cut

It seems that no one had con-
sulted the residents of the httle
hamlet of Berlin (once Burrel Inn)
if they desired to change the name
of their village.
Perhaps in this Curlee was
somewhat excusable, since, com
ing from Texas, he probably nev
er realized tne hardship and
trials of our early Oregon pioneers
in their long trek to this state, and
consequently did not realize that
our towns and cities have been
named either for some hardy pio

last meeting.
In leaving, Curlee, who made
headlines in eastern newspapers a
few years ago as ."Albany's Fire
ball" is turning over to his sue
cessor in office as secretary of the
chamber a fine record of member
ship and financial affairs, and a
renovated office. At the present
time the chamber role shows more
names than at any time in its his
tory, and several thousands of dol
Lars in its treasury.
Curlee did not state his reasons
for resigning other than that "con

'Play Safe9 Motto
Now; Applicable
For Car Driver
"If you've recently had occasion
to call at one or more of the large
auto repair establishments," says
Monroe Sv Cheek, owner of Mo
bilgas service station, corner Liber
ty and Center streets, "you've
probably seen many cars standing
on the ' floor- awaiting the time
when when 'parts could be secured
for : them or when there was a
mechanic available to work on
them. It's not' unusual for some
motorists to wait weeks until they
can get their machines fixed so
they can drive them again. . The
real happy car owners these days
are those who have followed
recommendations on ' regular oil
changing, regular lubrication,
which have protected vital parts
from wearing out: Don't take
chances. Join the procession of
those who order winter-proof serv
ices and inspections. Play safe.1
