First Aid For Your Car
%
One way to observe First Aid week next week
is to check on your car. Perhaps nothing is wrong
with it except that it needs the oil changed or a
greasing job done. To have these things done,
go to Heath’s—they do an expert greasing job
and can give you the best oil.

“Our men in the service in this war have
pretty definite ideas about what they’re
fighting for and the way they want to find
our country when they cotpe back...don’t
you think so. Judge?”
‘“I certainly do. George. Just a week or so
ago 1 was reading in a national magazine the
results of a poll taken among our soldiers.
Each man was given a questionnaire con­
taining twenty-five ‘assignments’ for the
folks at home. He was asked to check the
first five in order of importance to him.
"Out of thousands of replies the first
'assignment’ to the folks back home was
‘Make sure I’ll have a job in my chosen
field of work when I get back’. Number 5 was
‘Make sure that Prohibition isn’t put over
on us again.’
“When the men in the last war came
home and found prohibition had been put
over on them behind their backs they were
sore as boils. You can see from what I
just told you how they feel about it this
time, too.”
