Taylor, husband of Mrs. Peggy Ann Taylor, 1006 S. Oakdale Ave., Medford, Ore., is now serv ing as a squadron administrative specialist in the personnel de partment with a troop carrier group in the European theater of operations. Prior to his entering the serv ice January 16, 1943, Sgt. Tay lor, a graduate of Medford sen ior high school, Ore., class of '43, was employed as a book keeper by the United States National bank, Medford, Ore. His mother, Mrs. Mary E. Gus tafson, is now living in Long view, Wash. Sgt. Taylor's group is a unit of the Ninth Troop Carrier Com mand, headed by Grigadier Gen eral Paul L. Williams, which was the spearhead of the in vasion forces of France. money to themselves and also eliminating extra work through the year for the carrier, accord ing to Circulation Manager Gerald T. Latham. The "bar gain days" drive which ends Monday, offer's a year's sub scription to the paper, deliv ered by ' carrier for $7.50, or when delivered by mail for $6, representing substantial re ductions from the monthly pay ment policy. The average route delivered by 43 Mail Tribune carriers is 139 papers per carrier, Latham states. Persons who subscribe annually eliminate 11 monthly collections by the carrier throughout the year, thus sav ing themselves the trouble of being solicited each month, and also allowing carrier boys more time for school studies and ac tivities. This is especially true, Latham says, in cases where subscribers are away from home frequently and four or five trips are necessary for the carrier to contact them and make the collection. Net earn ings of each carrier are based on total collections, and all money paid into the Mail Tri bune office is refunded to car riers making their .earnings the same amount as when collected on a monthly basis. Subscribers who have been taking the paper on a monthly basis and who are planning to take a year's subscription now are asked to bring their last re ceipt to the office when the sub- j scription is paid to avoid con fusion as to the date the present subscription expires. Yearly subscriptions may be taken out at the Mail Tribune office or by mail, or for persons living outside Medford they Persons who have not yet sent Lhn r aiifiH n their renewal applications fori them Latham statcs, Carriers A' gasolme rations are urged (dehvcri rou(e3 ts,de ( to do so at once in order thatjMedford are Route Ajoseph they may be processed before wukin 4-Charles N.

That little round distributor-box on the side of your engine is a shark. More than 5000 times a minute it deals the right amount of electricity to the right spark plug at the right instant. And there's never a misdeal or hardly ever. If it should get out of whack, your engine would run jerkily or knock. Or you would hear those loud bangs down underneath in the muffler. One of the best ways to keep your distributor dealing those sparks without a miss is to have Shell lubricate your car regularly. That's the way to protect all the other important parts of your car, too. Shellubrication is the safest guarantee we know that something hard to replace won't burn out, break, or just get tired and quit. (And 5000 cars do quit every day junked by neglect and War time Stop and Go driving.) Let a regular check-up by Shell experts on your spark plugs, battery, lights and tires be your ounce of prevention.
