Mi's. A. H. Fort nor and her
mother, Mrs. C. B. Bryant and
Miss Sears of Whitewright,
spent Thursday in Slaton.
Cosden Oil Corporation's special sales and ad vertising crew are in the Sweetwater district
publicizing Cosden products. They have been w orking with Itrack Mitchell, local jobber in
sales promotion for several days. The truck shown in the picture carries modern sound
equipment for making broadcasts. Cre-w members left to right are: Mat Harrington,
Big Npring; W. M. Nash and It. A. Stone, Fort Worth and Cliff I'omeroy, Abilene.

dentally, to John Lumpkin. He
lost a child in the explosion, and
now he virtually takes the re-

Choose Their Own Church
With the help of employes of
the oil company he heads. Lump-
kin sends a big bus through the
district's scattered oil camps
every Sunday, picking up pas-
sengers and depositing them at
the door of the church of their
preference. Later he takes them
home.
And what of the children?
Concerning the damage to bo-
dies of the survivors there can
be no difference of opinion. One
hundred and eighty-four were
injured. Of these, 137 suffered
only minor hurts. Of the more
seriously injured, 23 may prove
to have suffered permanent dis-
figurement.
But what happened to the
minds of the survivors is anoth-
er and more controversial mat-
ter. The Child Welfare Service,
after a survey of all the surviv-
ors, reported that the blast
caused considerable psychology
cal reaction among the child-
ren.
Mr. and Mrs. Homer Craig
left Thursday afternoon for Ft.
Worth to attend the Southwest-
ern Exposition and Fat Stock

The regular Wednesday morn-
ing program of the Music Study
club was presented by the
children of active and associate
members of the club and was
one of the most enjoyable of j
the entire year. Each number
rendered by the juvenile and
junioy groups was well pre-
pared and well received by the
members.
Mrs. P. L. Ullom was leader
for the morning, and presided
during the program following a
brief business period with the
president, Mrs. Albert Brann,
presiding. Spring blossoms of
lilacs, bridal wreath and honey-
suckle graced the auditorium of
the First Baptist church. This
marked the second program fea-
turing the children and it is
planned to make it an annual
affair.
The program was as follows:

Metal"—that's how a newspaper
editor might headline the story of
what happens when you fill the crank-
case with Phillips 66 Motor Oil.
It forms a film that is more than
tough, a film that becomes practically
a part of the metal. The high heat of
high speed, even in summer, doesn't
tear down this high-Jegne oiliness given
by Phillips JOO' i paraffin base crude.
So there is extra thrift in the extra
stand-up-ability of this longer-lasting
oil. Less carbon, too. Less wear and
noise. More protection against over-
heating and motor damage.
Next time, drain and refill with
Phillips 66 Motor Oil, the economy
champion. It'sconccntrated.'This year's
big value in car lubrication. Look for
the Orange and Black 66 Shield.
