Why. he never goes over 35 <k takes a trip over 10 miles! Actually this kind of driving is very hard on a car engine because the engine seldom gets “wanned up” sufficiently. The oil tends to be sluggish. Sludge forms in the crankcase. The way is open for dangerous wear and corrosion. But there's something you can do about this, to protect your motor. If you have to do a lot of start-and-stop driving at low speeds, as most of us do, use Trap-Artic* Motor Oil It flows fast... resists sludge formation ... helps your car run better, longer. Get Trop-Artic Motor Oil at any station where you see the Phillips 66 Shield. \ PHILUPS / •A trademark National Oil & Ga«, lnc. v distributor Bluffton, Indiana

One To Go Is Now Motto Os Joyous Dodgers ’ By JOE ST. AMANT United Press International LOS ANGELES (UPD — "One to go, go go" was the twist the Los Angeles Dodgers gave to the White Sox motto, “go, go, go,” after taking a 3-1 lead in the Wrld Series Monday. The Dodger version of “go, go, go" was chalked on a blackboard in the team’s dressing room and drew smiles from the players as they trooped wearily to the showers. < 8 Needing but one game to win the 1959 world championship, the Dodgers were still not boisterous. Gil Hodges, the hero of the I game with his solo eighth inning homer that put the Dodgers out pn front. 5-4, took a joshing from jhis teammates because his mouth ■.was smeared with lipstick. “That lipstick is my wife’s,” he explained sheepishly. Roger Craig Downcast Another center of attraction was ' 24-year old Larry Sherry, who got i credit for his first World Series I pitching victoy by hurling two scoreless innings in relief of Dodger starter Roger Craig. Craig was downcast in the dressing room. You might think he had lost the ball game because of the home run ball he pitched to White Sox catcher Sherm Lollar in the seventh with two meh on. “I tried to throw him a slider low and outside,” said the lanky pitcher sadly, “but I’m afraid it got over the plate more than I wanted.” Manager Walter Alston who would make no predictions about the length of the series but said he hoped the Dodgers did not have to use their plane transportation to Chicago, said, "I probably went one man too far with Craig. I went out and asked him if he was tired, he said ‘no’ so I let him pitch to Lollar.” Lopez Still Optimistic In the White Sox dressing room, Lollar said the home run ’ball broke inside to him. “There was nothing cheap about that one,” he said, “even though it went over the left field screen. It would have been a homer at Comiskey Park in Chicago. I'd say our trouble is that we're not running like we did durig the regular season. These Dodgers are the best running club we’ve met aside from the Yankees.” Manager Al Lopez would not concede defeat despite the third loss to the Dodgers. “We still have a helluva i chance,” he said. “We haven’t done it the easy way all year and |we might as well figure we won't have it easy the rest of the way.” 1959 Freedom Award To Paul-Henri Spaak NEW YORK <UPI) — The 1959 Freedom Award was awarded to Paul-Henri Spaak, secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, it was announced today by Freedom House. Sentenced For Life For Slaying Youth HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. (UPD — A Kentucky farm laborer was sentenced to life imprisonment Monday for killing an Indiana high school basketball player.
