But these thrill highlights are only part of the story. In addition there’s a new twist to the “eternal triangle,” involving Esther's co- stars, Van Johnson and Tony Mar- tin.

What happens to my dues money that I pay each year; or in the case of a candidate; What is done with my initiation and dues in the American Legion? First of all, let me tell you what a small amount of money it will cost you to join, or pay your 1955 dues. An eligible veteran or candi- date pays the sum of $6 which in- cludes his initiation fees and dues for 1955. A Legionnaire pays $5 for his 1955 dues. Now, where does this money go? $2.50 from each new member, and dues paying Legion- naire goes to the department and national headquarters in the form of per capita tax. That money maintains the large and expensive Veterans program. Child Welfare comes in for the greater show which is by far, one of the most important programs of the American Legion. Maintaining the vast power in Washington, meaning of course, working for the veterans, is one more of the costly programs of the American Legion.

Result: more power-with-protection than you've ever known! Here’s proof: This spark plug is from one of the many sets of original equipment plugs used in Guif test fleet cars, Though spark plugs normally need cleaning or replace~ ‘ment after 5,000 to 10,000 miles, this plug and its mates did not need cleaning or replacement in over 15,000 miles of city and country driving with Super-Refined NO-NOX Gasoline. ( Here’s proof: Instead of trying to fight harmful de- posits with so-called “miracle additives”—inside your engine—Gulf believes in preventing them from forming in the first place, removes the cause—the “dirty-burning tail-end”—at the refinery. Just look at the plates in the unretouched photo at left and see what a difference Gulf super-refining makes!
