purchase of lubricating oil and 67.1
percent said they have a hand in
the buying of storage batteries.
Contracted with these figures are
the findings which showed that on
ly 29.2 per cent of the girls pur
chase or play a part in the buying
of lubricating oil and 22.3 per cent
buy batteries.
In buving these automotive ne
cessities, male and female students
alike have developed strong nre
ference for specific brands. When
buying gasoline, 83.9 per cent of
the boyvs and 83.3 per cent of the
girls have definite brand loyalties
and specifv one advertised brand
or limit their selections to one of
several advertised brands. Brand
loyalty was also the princinal fac
tor governing the luhricating ail
nurchases “of the studenrts inter
viewed. 82.2 per cent of the bovs
and 80 per cent of the girls named
brands as their first consideration.
Lovalty to specific brands was
shown bv the survev to be the
orimarv buying consideration bv
both sexes in the purchasine of all
automotive supplies. In the in
stances of all products concerning
which inquiries were made, more
than 7 out of 10 of the students
interviewed said that they insist
upon one manufacturer’s brand or
will aceent only one of several
leading advertised brands. The
strongest brand allegiance was
shown to exist in the purchase of
tires with 86.8 per cent of the bovs
and 81.2 per cent of the girls stat
ing that it is the maior factor in
determining their choices.
In the opinion of automotive in
dustry leaders the widespread edu
cation of vouth by advertising con
cerning the proverties and the
characteristics of the several
makes of automotive requisites, re
flected in the recent survey, has
resulted in better care of automo
biles. Tt is hoped by these leaders
that this will be a factor in re
ducing the automotive accident
rate which has risen since the
war’s end put more cars on the
roads than ever before in the na
tion’s history. Coupled with the
fostering of better understanding
of the vehicles and their require
ments, the manufacturers of the
major brands have joined hands
with educators in encouraging

THE WAR THAT HASN'T ENDED
NEW YORK —(AP)— The Cold
War is a bore. A third World War
is something few ‘even wish to
think about.
But the Second World War is
still of tremendous public interest.
Politically, that war is still con
tinuing, but its combat phase has
been over for four years. And it
is the neriod of actual fighting that
nenple want to know more about.
What was it really like? What
veally hanpened at nlaces like [wo
Jima, Salerno, Anzio. Bastogne?
Year bv year, as the memoirs
and the novels pile un. the real
story of mankind’s greatest test
at-arms is filtering through. For
war is a kind of huge ijigsaw puz
zle. You ean’t nut it together and
understand it all at once because
the nieces come to you slowly.
The general pattern of the war
can best be found in the memnirs
of people who usually write me
moirs—generals and statesmen To
set the real feel of battle and the
hurts it gave, you have to turn to
books written by the men who
fought the war and best knew its
boredom and danger—the junior
officers and enlisted men.
Two of the latest are “A Tent on
Corsica,” by Martin Quigley, an
ex-sergeant in the 12th airforce,
and “Day Without End,” by Van

Both explore new territory. Van
Praag tells a one-day tale of the
life and death of a doughbov pia

book deals with the adventures,

This series. covering the Furo

vender in the schoolhouse at
Rheims, shows the impac’ of war—
its brutalitv .and devastation —
more graphically than any novel,
merelv because it is so t;rribly
factual.
I went to a preview of one of
the films with two soldiers who
had fought over the area shown—
the Hurtgen Forest, which Eisen
hower himself described as “one
of the most bitterly contested bat
tles of the entire campaign.”
“That’s the way it was,” said
Corp. Seals W. Knight, 29, a
bronze-star winner who was
wounded in the forest. “I don’t
want anymore of things like that.
It was rough there.”
“The publie ought to know more
about what war is like.” said the
other soldier, Corp. Oliver, G.
Snow, 42, ‘But you can’t put it
