Newspaper Page TextHARD VORK NEED IS RECOGNIZED Albany, Aug. 1 1 (U.R) Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, republican presidential candidate, and GOP National Chairman Her bert Borwnell, Jr., today plot ted the next move in their cam paign to put the GOP back in the White House. Fresh from conferences with republican leaders of 11 mid western states, Brownell said he carried an optimistic report. He told the governor, however, that , "plenty of hard work" has to be done between now and No vember and party followers are ready for action. Brownell was an overnight guest at the state executive mansion and he and Dewey talked until after midnight in the big study. One of the prin cipal topics, it was reported, was President Roosevelt's in spection trip to Honolulu. On his last visit to Albany, Brownell charged that Mr. Roosevelt was the first of 32 presidents to claim that the ti tle of commander-in-chief made him a soldier and that he was using the title to "perpetuate himself in public office." At that time, Dewey heard reports the President would deliver his speech accepting the democratic nomination from foreign shores and he said if Mr. Roosevelt did, "I might have something to say about it."

Bartlett Phone 2419 n " This is a crankcase The under side of your engine is enclosed by a thing that is called a crankcase. This is a sort of swimming pool where hard-working engine parts Bplash around in motor oil to keep from get ting overheated. TO ' Speaking of oil, remember how doughnuts, French fried potatoes, etc, foul up your deep fat with hard, burned particles of this and that? Well, oil in your crankcase gets fouled up, too.' Its hot, dirty assignment is preventing metal parts from cooking to a crisp in the terrific heat inside your engine . . . quite expensive parts like gears, pistons and bearings. One minute your oil looks almost good enough to put on waffles. But a few "A" coupons later it has become grimy black from carbon, dust and sludge. And as gritty as a picnic on a windy beach. Then it's time to have Shell put in fresh, safe Golden Shell motor oil. And while they're about it, have 'em Shellubricate the entire car. This is a service protecting all vital parts. A good bet to keep your family bus from joining the 5000 worn-out automobiles that limp to junk yards every day. GIRLS, HAVE YOU READ IT?
