DUNK LARSON WRITES
FROM NEW GUINEA FRONT
Svere Larson is in receipt of
a letter from his son Dunk who
i has been in New Guinea with a
। Montana Regiment which left
| Wolf Point in 1940. All of us
i who know Dunk will enjoy read
| ing the following letter.
Dear Dad: I’m still here in
j Guinea and feeling fine. The
thing that has bothered us a
great deal is the food. We’ve
[ been living out of cans for the
past couple of months and it
sure gets tiresome. But today
for dinner we had steak. It was
as tough as shoe leather but, oh
Boy, it sure was good. It was
, the first fresh meat we’d had
।in a long time. We also had a
' turkey sent up to us but some
| dumb-bell had spilled kerosene
on it, so we can’t use it.
If and when I get home again
I’m sure going to do some eat
ing and sleeping (in a bed with
nice white sheets).
This stay up here is doing me
some good,l believe, as it has
gotten all the liquor out of my
system, and whereas I don’t
think I’ll be a teetotaler, I do
think 11l drink a lot less. I’ve
(been attending church services
whenever we’re able to have
them. You know, Dad, they say
there's no such thing as an athe
ist in a fox-hole and I certainly
agree.
I have had a touch of fever
two or three times but it didn’t
amount to much. Another thing
about being up here, it sure did
not take long to separate the
men from the boys.
Hoping you are well and in
the pink.
Love—Dunk
(Dunk has a brother, Lloyd,
in the Air force, whom his Dad
has not heard from for two
months and is also presumed to
have seen action.)

Meanwhile, with acid in your engine,

better take the precaution of having ^BBBkHBSB
its insides oil-plated by changing
to Conoco NO> motor oil this Spring.
Oil-plating is really a close cousin
of platings you see every day retard

acids and inner engine
surfaces. Unlike any mere liquid
lubricant, ready to drain down to the
crankcase promptly, oil-platino
tends to stay at its topmost point in
your inactive engine, keeping up
strong interference against acid at
tack on inner parts that can’t always
be replaced these days. The simple
key to oil-plating is Conoco Nth
oil for your needed Spring change—
