The American Petroleum Insti-
tute maintains; "Since oil and gas
are irreplaceable by man's effort
and, since they ai-e not limitless,
continuing emphasis on conserva-
tion efforts is highly desirable to
make these valuable assets avail-
able to present and future genera-
tions at reasonable price levels.
This does not mean that oil and
Kas should be hoarded but should
be used for the greatest good and
in free competition with other
energy sources."

You don't contribute money in
this case, just Common Sense,
which is something that all of us
have but do not always use when
we get behind the wheels of our
tars.
All the accident preventing do's
and don'ts boil down to the at-
tainment of safe driving habits
through the simple application of
common sense.
If all of us drive safely we can
stop the slaughter on our road-
\vays by sending Mr. Highway
Death on a long vacation from his
proverbial grim reaper role.
Won't you help?
THE SECRET OF GETTING AHEAD
There are all kinds of success-
ful people. They spring: from many
different backgrounds. But they all
have something in common. In
school or industry or the military
service, they know the Secret of
Getting Ahead.
It's a simple secret and from
the minute you learn it you can
start using it. It's as uncomplicat-
ed and direct as a one-two punch.
In two words it's "Check" and
"Choose".
These two words can start a
young man or woman off to a new
and useful career when applied to
any walk of life. This is especially
true when applied to military ser-
vice and are the key words to the
Army's "Choose-It-Yourself" pro-
grams.
For a minimum enlistment of
only three years,, an applicant can
check the opportunities available
to him and can then choose the
!career most suited to fit the in-
dividuals desires.
Sound impossible ? Actually,
through the Army's wide selection
of enlistment programs, the ap-
plicant selects his or her career
area and is given a written guar-
antee before enlistment ceremonies
are completed. An applicant is able
to Check the opportunities for
schooling, advancement and all
phases in any chosen field. The ap-
plicant can then Choose the field
that is best suited to his or her
wants or needs. To top it all off,
the written guarantee assures as-
signment to a particular school or
career area.
Only the U. S. Regular Army
can make this selection of careers
possible to American youth today.
Why not, if you're thinking in
