TEAM WINS DERBY PRIZE WITH 47 CATFISH Pruitt Brothers Second Witl 44 Large Throng Hears Roberts' Patriotic Address Army's Biggest Bomber Takes Air on First Flight Central Polnt'i three -man team of Walter Painter, Harvey Cassman and L. A. Williams won the championahip at the fifth annual national catfish derby at Col. F. L. TouVelle's park on the Rogue river near Bybee bridge yesterday after noon. To win the gold cup and other prizes, the Central Point anglers turned in 47 catfish when the gun ending the derby was fired at 4 p. m. The Pruitt brothers, experienced catfishermen, were a close second with a catch of 44. A. J. Pruitt of the runners up scored Individually with the longest and heaviest catfish. Luke Wyatt, equipped with a saw, mallet, rake, bird cage and the other paraphernalia usually carried by the expert angler, dis graced the fair city of Grants Pass by turning up with the smallest catfish. As Master of Ceremonies Frank DeSouza re marked to the crowd: "How the mighty has fallen." For Luke has won one national catfish derby crown after another and for years has been the undis puted champion. Bill Bowerman and Leonard Mayfield had a car breakdown while on their way to the derby so they fished in Bear creek un der the East Main street bridge and caught 23 catfish but then they were unable to thumb a ride to the derby site and hence did not get under the wire. At least that was Bill's story and somebody is stuck with it.

Greatest Derby Yet By popular acclaim, Painter was declared to be the hand- somest of all the catfishermen, distinction he apparently did not relish. The derby was declared to be the greatest yet held In the an nual series. A large throns filled the spacious natural am phitheater and the extensive park grounds were none too large to accommodate the hun dreds of cars that started rolling into the area before 1 o clock. The program of fun events was reeled off at a fast pace by DeSouza and members of the 20-30 club which this year took over sponsorship of the derby.

The addition of a newly developed compounding (Pat ents Pending) gives 'RPM' amazing qualities.

Super-heated points protected as never before "This means Thermo-Charged RPM' is absolutely outstanding in its ability to stay put at the hot points in your engine where lubrication and cooling are needed particularly. The result is the most com plete protection so far. "In addition, this new oil will not de posit harmful quantities of carbon, gum and varnish which can clog engines and take the fine edge off performance. "And I will go even farther. Thermo Charged 'RPM does a better job of cleaning out deposits left by other oils. Longer engine life definitely finer performance "Because Thermo-Charged 'RPM keeps engines so clean, it materially reduces wear. Diesel engines which are far harder on lubricating oil than any automobile engine have proved this in millions of miles of operation. Thermo-Charged oil has more than doubled the service life of their piston rings and cylinder walls. "Thermo-Charged RPM' actually brings you nine important advantages. It is now available at a quart.
