octane aviation gasoline is the cream that comes from crude oil: 100000 barrels of good East Texas crude yield only about 11,O00 barrels of 100-octane.
 That doesn't mean the other 89,- 900 barrels are wasted. They come out in the form of, among other things, lower-octane gasolines for automobiles. That's why there's go- ing to be less high-octane gasoline for your motor cars in the future.
 But if you find one of these days that your car motor needs to be ad- justed for lower-octane gasoline that it has less pull, more knock remember that, thanks to your small sacrifice, an American flyer some- where is able to carry heavier load of guns or bombs, is able to fly higher, farther and faster than his enemy.
 Your sacrifice helps keep 'em fly ing"-to victory.

KEEP FEM FLYING"-YOur sac-
 rifice of a small degree of quality
 in your auto gasoline will help
 Uncle Sam's fighting planes to fly
 higher, faster-and pack harder
 wallop. The tough-lOOking baby
 above is the Curtiss Hawk P40-F.
 newest and deadliest of the fa-
 nous P4O series-the planes
 which U. s. Air Chief H. H. Arnold
 declared are more than holding
 their own with German, Jap and
 other Axis fighters on all fronts. accessories, including propeller. By contrast, a 1750-horsepoWer engine designed for 91-octane weighs about $500 pounds. That means TOO pounds of weight saved per engine or 1400 pounds for a two-engined ship. The 14OO pounds saved weight can be utilized for more bombs, guns and ammunition or for more fuel for longer trips.
 Such are typical of the victory margins" in speed, power and ma neuverability which 100-octane gives Uncle Sam and his allies over the Axis. Just what is this gasoline marvel that small sacrifice in your motoring pleasure makes available to your sky fighter?
 Its full name is "10O-octane num- Der gasoline" "Octane number" re- duced to simplest terms is the anti knock quality in fuel. The auto- mobile gasoline which you used in the early 'TWenties was around 60- octane or less. Today, if you buy premium, or so-called "ethyl" gas- oline, you get 30 to 82-octane num- Der. If you buy regular" you get 73 to 77-octane number. The oc- tane numbers of third grade are 68 to II.
 While these automobile fuels are quite adequate for your cars motor, if used in one of our new Army or Navy planes, the knock would be so great that it would probably wreck their high-compression engines be- fore the plane got off the ground Only 100-octane will meet their needs.
 One hundred -octane number gas oline is not a single product, but blend of four basic componentS: "basic stock" "high-octane blending agent" Tight blending agent" and tetraethyllead, the so. 1! called "ethyl" used in premium au. tomobile gasoline Addition of three or four cubic centimeters of te. traethyllead to each gallon of the three other components brings the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-01-27

octane number to 100.
 The final product, obtained by a vastly complicated method of re- lining crude oil, contains, in addi- tion to anti-knock qualities, three highly important characteristics:
 1. Proper boiling range" so it will burn smoothly at normal engine temperatures between 100 and 325 degrees.
 2. Low "vapor pressure" so that it will not evaporate either at sea level or high attitudes, causing "vapor lock" to stop engine.
 3. Low water suitability. If avia- tion gasoline absorbed water, the water would freeze at high attitudes clogging fuel lines.
 So all in all, the 100-octane avia- tion gasoline is literally tailor made for tailor-made engines: the modern American military airplane won't perform at its best without 100-oc-

To speed output. MT. 1ckes has among other things, obtained All A ratings for all applications for materials to build new 100-octane plants; effected an agreement with companies owning patents on the complicated refining process to re duce royalties by half. thus enabling other companies to afford to parti- cipate: enlisted the best brains Of the oil industry by creating the Pe- troleum Industry Council for Ma tional Defense.

 Louis A. Walsh introduced reso- lution on the death of MT. Will Hams, for more than 20 years treas urer of the council, which was unanimously adopted.
 Plans were announced for the councils annual dinner meeting February 12 at Temple hall, which will inaugllrate a 10-day financial drive under the general chairman ship of William T. Jebb. The goal of the effort will be $16,868, an in crease over 1941 expenditures of $15,67428, to allow for increased wartime activities.
 Scout Executive David F. Babson reported per cent gain in scout membership in Waterbury during the year, and a 40 per cent increase in Cub enrolment. At present there are 2,466 registered leaders, scouts and Cubs on the councils roster.

FACES?
Good Evening.

FACES? There's a shortage of sugar, There's a shortage of flour, There's shortage of this and that About every single hour. There's shortage of gasoline, We'll soon be using horses, There's shortage of most everything But no shortage of divorces. They're cutting down on our sugar, Things don't look too good, But why shortage of anything When we're surfeited with food. There's a shortage of this and that, With all our vast resources, Yes, there's a shortage of lots of things But no shortage of divorces.
