Shell recommends 21 WAYS
to make your car last longer

element in your car has the exacting task of
keeping tiny, dangerous specks of metal and
other abrasives out Of the engine, while
allowing oil to flow freely.
The filter catches and holds these foreign
particles until it can hold no more. But when
the oil filter is clogged up, it cannot work
effectively.
Replacing the filter element every other
oil change helps your engine to last longer.
Is. Get fabrication job regularly. Dirt
and moisture can work into chassis Joints
and bushings, causing friction and wear.
Grease can also eventually pound out, leav-
ing the parts unprotected.
See your Shell dealer for Shellubrica-
ton. He has the charts, equipment, Shell
lubricants for your car, and the skill for a
really thorough job.
Ii. Have your cars cooling system checked
twice year. In time, the inhibitors in your
anti-freeze lose some Of their ability to pre-
vent rust, corrosion and sediment from form
ing in your cooling system.
Let your Shell dealer check the cooling
system including hoses and hose connec-
tions no less than twice year. When he
drains and reGlls he will add special Cool
ing System Protector.
IS. Keep door and body panel drain holes
clear to foil rust. You never see them, but
there are little drain holes at the bottom of
body panels and doors. They can get clogged
so that the panels actually hold water. Rust
forms more easily and can eat holes right
through the metal.
You have probably noticed this ugly sight
in other cars. Make sure drain holes are
always kept clear.
16. Keep road salt washed off. Nothing can
damage cars appearance more than the
chemicals used to clear icy, snowy roads.
They can eat not only the finish, but the
body structure itself. Max sure you get it
all of-not only from the paint but from
the bright metal parts, as well.
IL. Use these tips to help your car stay
new looking longer. A good coat of polish
provides film that protects your cars finish.
But before you polish your car, always wash
it-Gnd always in the shade.

AMERICANS spend more than 2 billion
"A dollars year on automotive replace
ment parts. This expense is enough to give
every man, woman, and child in the u. S.
$l2 birthday present
With little care you can avoid much Of
this expense and keep your car youthful.
Here are few tips from Shells experts.
1. Break in a new car properly. A long
break-in period at low speed is no longer
necessary. But manufacturers recommend:
A. Don't accelerate at full throttle or change
gears abruptly. Sudden shocks to gears in
the rear axle and transmission can cause
lasting damage.
B. Vary your speeds and especially avoid
sustained high speed.
c. Try not to stop too suddenly-it can harm
brake surfaces.
z. Warm up slowly. Racing an engine to
warm It up ages it fast. A short warn-up
at moderate speed is good for your car even
in summer, and even more necessary during
colder months when the oil tends to move
sluggishly at first Never race your cold en-
CINE to warm up, though. 1t may damage
critical working parts before fabrication can
be fully established.
There's no need for long idling; but drive
slowly for the first few minutes.
3. Use your engine to save your brake Lin
ings. Anticipate your slOwdOwns. Use the
brake as little as possible.
When you see you'll have to SLOW down,
take your foot off the accelerator early
and let the engines compression do
some Of the job.
Always keep the master brake cylinder full
Of heavy-duty brake fluid. Shells Super
Heavy Duty brake fluid is designed to help
your cars brakes deliver top performance.

Some new car finishes need only good
washing to keep them bright, but others re-
quire waxing. It's good idea to check your
owners manual. Older cars are almost Ger
tain to benefit from good waxing.
Is. Protect chrome against rust invasion.
Chrome, itself, can't rust. But it actually has
millions Of tiny holes which can let the
moisture right through Oh to the metal beneath.
DirtinviteS this invasion, soclean the chrome
thoroughly and frequently, and wax it for
further protection.
10. "Bandage" minor scratches in your
cars finish. Small scratches in the finish
expose bare metal which can rust. Until you
can have the scratches re6nished, keep rust
from forming with coat of touch-uP paint
or even strip of cellulose tape on the
scratches. Use clear nail polish on scratches
in the chrome.
20. Pamper carpets and upholstery.
GrOund-in dirt wears out carpets before their
time Give them weekly whisking or vacu-
uming; shampoo once in while.
Fl. Let your Shell dealer help your car last
longer. Your car may have cost you thou
sands Of dollars. After your home, this is
probably your biggest single investment.
Treat it carefully. Feed it well. Let your
Shell dealer help you on both counts. You
will save money-and increase your driving
pleasure, too.

4. Have your engines spark timing set to
proper specifications. The spark timing de-
tennines whether your plugs FIRE at exactly
the right instant. With incorrect timing you
lose power and cut mileage. Also your car
may knock. Chronic knocking can eventu-
ally damage your engine.
S. Use a gasoline that controls knock. If
your engine persists in knocking, you may
need gasoline with more anti-knock COM
Ponents, for higher octane rating.
Today's Super Shell contains all Of the
anti-knock ingredients required to help your
car deliver knock-free performance.
s. Learn to read tail pipe smoke signals.
Blue smoke means too much oil is getting
into the combustion chambers.
Excessive blue smoke is a warming that
piston rings may be Worm-Gmd need
replacing. Your mechanic calls this
ring job"
Black smoke is an indication Of too much
gasoline in the air-fuel mixture. Your carbu-
retor may need an adjustment
White smoke is mostly water vapor. Don't
worry about it. Your engine makes gallon
Of water for every gallon Of gasoline burned.
On cold days some of this shows up as vapor.
7. Have your oil checked whenever you gill
up with gasoline. An oil check is a simple
safety check for your engine. 1t is also free,
and takes less than a minute.
By the way, oil does not wear out. But it
can be lost through leaks or burning. And it
does get dirty. Worse yet, oil can become
contaminated by combustion by-products-
including acid.
To be really safe, use new Shell X-l00s
Premium Motor OIL 1t only costs about
$3.50 more per year than regular oils
no more than most premiums.
Evening star., 1961-04-25

New Shell X-l00 Premium Motor Oil fights
engine acid brand-newway-with an amaz-
ing chemical shield that clings tightly to all
metal surfaces.
For most cars Shell recommends an oil
change once month in winter, every 90
days in summer-never more than 1000
miles between changes.
8. Avoid high speeds and save your tires.
Every extra mile your tires last is money in
yourPOcket. High speeds increase wear dras-
tically-by as much as 808o over normal
wear so it pays to go easy.
9. Rotate tires every S 900 miles. Your tires
will last longer because they will all wear
evenly, and at the same rate. Note: See your
Shell dealer for set Of valve caps; they will
prevent air from getting out and dirt from
getting in around the tire valve.
10. Check wheel alignment and balance.
The shock of hitting curbs or dropping into
deep holes can cause misalignment
This literally drags the wheel at an angle
to the line Of travel. Nothing wears tires
out more quickly.
An out-of-line wheel can increase tire wear
as much as so per cent. An unbalanced
wheel pounds the tire against the pavement,
wearing the tread unevenly.
Have an expert check wheel alignment
and balance at least twice year. Proper tire
imitation at all times is also essential.
IL. Save your battery with lie worth of
baking soda. Dirt and corrosion can actually
cause current leaks and can shorten your
batterys life by many months. IF corrosion is
visible, wash the battery off with solution
of baking soda and water. Use wire brush
if necessary. Then rinse thoroughly with
warm water. Ask your Shell dealer to check
your battery terminals.
Caution: Never allow the soda-water
solution to get into your battery; it could
neutralize the acid which makes your
battery work.
II. Change your oil filter element every
other oil change. Abrasive specks as small
as l/l000th Of an inch in diameter can
shorten the life Of your engine. The oil filter

A SOLUTION is NOT YET IN SIGHT

The problem of children dropping
out of school before they complete
the work necessary for diploma is
one which deserves the attention of
us all.
No one single move in a young per-
sons life is more apt to have such Il
lasting and limiting effect.
Stlll, however, from studies con-
Quoted in schools in the county it is
pointed out that more than half the
students who enroll in the first grade
or school never make it to graduation.
The situation is obviously bad. And
one OF the most discouraging things
about it is that there doesn't seem
TO be any promising trend toward i'm
provement.
The percentage of students who do
graduate has increased over a long
period of years, but the increase has
Deen SLOW. And there is nothing about
IT to indicate that it will at any time

ward turn.

root of the problem or its solution.
mere are Il great number of factors
which must be considered, in order to
determine lust why the drop-outs con-
tlnue on such 4 large scale. But il is
our opinion that one stands out like
the proverblal sore thumb over all
others.
We believe that the main contribu-
ing factor Is parental disinterest in
the education of their children.
Many of the reasons cited i'm drop

can be directly connected with this
Shortcomlng on the part of parents.
We wonder Just how much longer
we can wait for mothers and fathers
to realize that they are contributing
TO the failures their children expert
ence all during their lives when they
allow them to quit school.
We believe that when parents begin
TO see the value in things other than
