Road dust, carbon from the combustion chamber, and fine particles of metal worn from the bearing surfaces get into the lubricating oil in the crank case. All this dirt circulates with the oil through the engine. If it isn't drained out regularly there's bound to be excessive wear and tear. Gasoline also escapes past the pistons and dilutes the oil. Modern Crankcase Cleaning Ser vice gets rid of the dirty, diluted oil, flushes the crankcase thoroughly . and refills with clean, fresh oil. The garages listed below are now equipped to perform this needed service quickly and for a nominal charge. We use Calol Flushing Oil, which cleanses thoroughly without danger of contaminating the fresh Zerolene refilled into the cleaned crankcase.

Adams WESTON OREGON THE PUBLIC and The TELEPHONE QHPAIT In spite of the fuct that a groat majority of the telephone using public thoroughly understand the rights, duties and obli gations of public service companies, we find now and then an individual who does not understand the matter. A telephone company, in its broadest sense, is a partner ship consisting of the State as an institution, the public as a group of customers, and the company. The State determines the extent to which the company may go and regulates its rates, services and practices. The company furnishes the facilities with whjch these rights are exercised and the services rendered. Those members of the public who constitute the customers, fur nish the revenue with which the company is enabled to jerform these services. No telephone company can exist without cus tomers, and these customers must be treated with fairness both by the company and by the State. The State docs not permit any undue burden to, be placed upon a customer. A public service corporation, in n broad sense, is merely an organized right to render the public a service, and in the same larger sense the service belongs to the company's customers. It follows -that the customers are really the company. What benefits or harms the one has a like effect upon the other. We are anxious that our present customers, applicants for service, and the company shall be treated fairly. To continue to extend our service under our present condition is impossible. We invite our customers, the public of Oregon, to interest them selves in our problem. Va Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. barbarians, is a matter he seldom consumer is always the goat.
