Note TIE Sponsors

Now the interc. tiry thing
about this program is the spon.
sors.
II IS not-as you may have
thought--the Beverid-e report,
although in some resrcctS it is
not unlike that famous paper.
II is the program suggested
by 100 of Britain's LEADING
INDUSTRIES. however.
The real irony of the proposal
Is that by pre-war standards the
program would have been called
leftist maneuver by the very
men who are now backing il.
They decidedly would have
branded many of these proposals
as Socialist or Communist.

Change Oil Frequently

There Is definite tieup be-
tween oil changes and better
mileage. according TO r. Lyle
Brace, an engineer. More fire.
Quent oil changes add gasoline
mileage and make the engine
last longer. Brace told meet

Gently
Based on tests. Brace stated
that feet operators who have
their motor oil changed every
500 miles are not only getting
more gas economy but are ex-
tending the life of their engines
from $4,000 TO 100000 miles"
This may be good tip in
these days Of rationing and with
parts growing more and more
scarce.
