Immediately following]as guests during the holidays, their
the examinations the papers will be daughters, Miss Macel Owen of
collected, placed in an envelope pro-
vided for that purpose, and sent at
once for scoring to the College En-
trance Examination Board.
That this test be administered
fairly and uniformly to all condidates
as imperative, said Mr. Daniel, since
zft serves as one of the most import
ant bases for selecting the boys and
girls to be awarded the scholarships
and certificates cf merit in this third
nation-wide competition.
Other factors to be taken into
consideration in choosing the win-
ners will be the school record, lead-
ership ability, and financial need of
the candidates.
All winners will be announced on
April IS.
If one of the boys and gi^ls elect-
ed from Electra High School wins
one of these liberal scholarships, he
or she will have his full tuition and
■certain incidental fees paid for four
years to any accredited college in
the United States he wishes to at-
tend. In addition he will receive an
allowance cf $25 a month during the
four school years plus traveling ex-
penses* at the rate of three cents a
mile for one round trip from home
to college each year.
There will be five runners-up for
ever, scholarship granted, and each
wifi receive a certificate of merit
which carries with it a $50 award
payable when the winner enters col-
lege.
Once a student is in' college, the
only scholastic requirement for the
continuance of his scholarship
throughout the four-year period is
that he remain in good standing
and progresses normally from year
to year. If in the opinion of the
Board any student does unusually
outstanding undergraduate work, he
will receive a three-or-fouivyear
Memphis, Tenn., and Miss Billy
Owen of San Antonio and their son,
Russell Owen, Ylc, US Navy and
Mrs. Russell Owen, of Boston, Mass.
The latter was formerly Miss Flor-
ence Hoy of Cedar Rapids, Iowa
and the young people were married
on August 29, 1946.

Strange phenomenon of nature is the “Goblet of Venus”!
Stranger still is the tremendous force of molecular attract
tion that enables the stem to support the huge bowl!
Utilizing this mighty force of molecular attraction, a
special ingredient in Conoco TXth motor oil is attracted to
working surfaces of your engine. In fact, so strong is this at-
traction that cylinder walls and other parts are OIL-PLATED.
And because molecular attraction holds Conoco OIL-
PLATING up where it belongs... prevents it from all draining
down to the crankcase, even overnight... you get these benefits:
1 • added protection during the vital periods when you first
start your engine
2. added protection from corrosive action when your en-
gine is not in use
3. added protection from wear that leads to fouling sludg
