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. The
Judges today gave post-derby

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.
There was something going on
every split second and at times
the derby took on the head-reel
ing qualities of a three-ring
circus.
Roberts Speaker
George M. Roberts, Medford
attorney, struck a serious note
in an eloquent address. Pleading
for full support of President
Roosevelt, Mr. Roberts empha
sized the need of national unity
in facing "the threat of the iron
heel that has crushed all Eu
rope." Asserting that thus far
every Hitler success has been
due to disunion in the conquered
nations, Mr. Roberts asserted
"we must stand behind the presi
dent of the United States for on
that depends whether there is
to be an America In the future
The derby was opened by the

Uui Company has never made a statement like
this before about any product
"We do so now becauseThermo-Charged
RPM Motor Oil does things for your
engine no other oil can do. The addition
of a newly developed compounding (Pat
ents Pending) gives 'RPM' amazing
qualities.
"For example, this Thermo-Charging
increases tremendously ' R PM's' power to
spread over and lubricate hot metal sur
faces. Other oils actually will run uphill
to escape scorching areas whichThermo
Chargcd 'RPM' refuses :o leave!
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. We be
lieve no other oil at any price can equal
its value."
