More motor cars and trucks are on the road in the
Midwest today than in 1941 and the per car con-
sumption of gasoline is higher.
Twice the volume of gasoline is being consumed
by tractors on Midwest farms as in 1941.
The railroads have four times as many Diesel
locomotive units today as they had in 1o41 Dieses
burn lots of fuel oil.
Additional hundreds of thousands of homes, old
and new alike, depending on fuel oil for clean,
economical, efficient heat.
More planes arrive and depart from Midwest
airhelds. Every plane has hungry NAV that must
be filled with high octane gasoline.
It takes lot of tank cars, pipe lines and barges
to bring crude oil to the refneres to produce the
needed gasoline and oil.
Steps taken to increase supplies
Thousands of new wells have been drilled and are
producing additional supplies of crude OIL Hun
dreds of miles of new pipe lines are in service. Our
refneries are producing as never before-operating
at new high levels.
Standard Oils expansion program was blue
printed long before there was any break in the
clouds. It has been driving ahead ever since VI
Day.
Refinery projects already completed have added
1879 to our undermining capacity and other prof.
ects now under way, although behind schedule be-
cause OF shortages of materials, will increase this
figure to 27e5 by next spring.
Great progress has been made. But all this is not
enough.
Why the Midwest feels the pinch
Last winters heavy demand for heating oil caused
Standard Oil to make large increases in fuel oil
yields at the expense of gasoline AS the result of
this and heavy gasoline demands this spring, Stand
ards available inventories of gasoline at rehneries
and terminals are 500 below year ago.
Also, in the Midwest transportation is serious
bottleneck At present there just aren't enough

pipe lines and available tank cars to carry to the
Midwest the extra load of crude oil and finished
products from distant producing and refining areas.
Here again. projects which will help the situation
by next spring are under way
How Standard Oil is handling the situation
In the interest of fair treatment Of all our custom
ers, putting into effect at once ALLEGATION
system for the distribution of gasoline during
June, July and August. Throughout these months
the total amount to be supplied Standard Oil
Agents and Dealers in the Midwest will be approx
inaately equal to what they received in 1916 dur
ing the same period. Since gasoline sales are
running millions of gallons ahead of last years,
Standard Oil Agents and Dealers, in turn, will be
unable to meet unlimited demand This tenn
porary ALLEGATION system is adopted for your pro-
lection.
We frankly do not know how long this situation
will last We are laying plans the belief that
it will continue through August-perhaps longer.
We do not believe the situation is serious enough
to justify the introduction of formal rationing
How you may be affected by this situation
There may be times when your service station dealer
will be out of gasoline temporarily. Even if you
are not always able to buy all the gasoline you
want, there should be no need for real hardship.
Although this is vacation time-if folks will take
it easy, will reduce unnecessary driving, and not
drive at high speeds that consume lot of gasoline
Everybody should be able to stay on fairly
normal basis. Nobody needs to become panicky.
Hoarding, which is dangerous, would only aggra-
vate the situation.
Standard Oil Dealers are cooperating wholeheart-
edly in this temporary emergency, which there is
every reason to believe will not be of too long
duration
We earnestly bespeak your cooperation with
your favorite Standard Oil Dealer. Both he and
we want to see you often-and for long time to
come.

O-THE BAND will be known as
the "Syncopated Triangle" this year,
as the result of a contest conducted
among the band members. Glenna
Gould was the winner. The band
will march in triangular formation
this year and from all indications,
the fans are in for some snappy
drills. Uniforms were fitted last
Monday, and uniforms were also
ordered for the cheerleaders, Joyce
Cecil, Doris Swank and Betty Sayre.
Proof of the bands marching ability
was aptly demonstrated at the Fire
mems Festival at McConnelsville
last week when the Caldwell band
was awarded first prize with Nc
Connelsville taking second. The
trophy, a cup with majorette on top,
is now on display in the window of
DR.. Ditch's office following a contri-
button of 500 by DR.. Ditch to the
band fund. 1t is also understood that
the band will enter another contest
at GAINESVILLE on September 20.

Fathers hands were, oh, so tired,
We folded them away;
In the grave now he lies sleeping
Awaiting the Resurrection Day
The voice we once loved,
Forever is still;
His chair and bed so vacant,
Which no one can fill.
So to all who have your daddy,
Cherish him with care;
You will never know his value,
Till you see his vacant chair.

- AAA
the exhibition game between the
Albany Senators and the Pittsburgh
Pirates last week in Albany, which
saw the Pirates emerge the victors
7-6, before a record crowd of $4,000
fans. Mazgay got two hits in four
trips to the plate against Roger
Wolff and Rip Sewell, including a
double and scored one run. Sewell
served up his famed blooper ball
in the eighth but Mazgay failed to
swing as it went for a ball. Blood
worth's homer in the eighth with
Whitley Weitelmann on base, was
the margin of victory.
e CHARLEY YOUNG, Albany
sports writer, in covering the game
had the following to say: There's
some interesting scrambleS among
the Senators for some of the club
batting honorS. For instance, Stan
Mazgay is showing the way to his
team mates in base hits with 129,
doubles "a, runs scored 78, runs
hatted in II, tied with Don Manno
for home run leadership with five.
Earl Turner leads in triples with 10,
Mazgay is next with eight"

Howard, Lincoln Play
I41st Tilt Tomorrow

The country's oldest football rival
ry between Negro colleges will be
renewed in Philadelphia tomorrow
when Howard U. of Washington and
Lincoln U. of Philadelphia tangle
in their annual Thanksgiving Day
game. The first game in this series
was played in 1894, and it has con-
tinued with only occasional inter-
ruptions for 40 games over that span
of So years. Howard has won IT,
Lincoln, 16, with 7 ties.
Because of the Importance of to-
morrow's game, which rates as the
weeks best in the CIAA, it will be
staged at the Temple University
Stadium. Last year a favored Lin
coin team failed to kick point after
touchdown, and Howard won, rs
Neither rates as choice for to-
morrow. Howard beat Morgan by a
touchdown and Morgan beat Lin
coin, but Lincoln tied Hampton
which beat Howard.

in the CIAA. Buttressed by such
stalwarts as Tiny" Bridgeforth. Le-
land Burris. Lacey jackson, Frank
McCray, Hank Parker, Warren

Griff 10 Keep Cash,
Trade Priddy Again

Johnny Berardino's wife wired
Mats Owner Clark Griff1th last night
that Johnny was away from his Los
Angeles home on location with q
movie company and thus she could
not give a definite answer as to
whether her husband intended to
play baseball next season.
Regardless of Berardinos decision,
Griffith was assured yesterday by
Commissioner Happy Chandler that
the Mats will not lose Jerry Priddy
and the $25,000 to $4,000 in cash
paid to the st. Louis Browns for
their second baseman.
Berardino has until March l to
report but If he decides to quit base
ball the entire deal will be voided.
Griffith is going to request an i'm
mediate answer from Berardino,
however, for If the Mats boss regains
Priddy the latter's name will be
placed on the waiver list as trading
bait. Under no circumstances will
Priddy remain with the Mats next
season, according to Griff.
General Manager Joe Cronin OF
the Red Sox and his family will
spend Thanksgiving Day with the
Grifiths but it will be social visit.
There's absolutely no chance Of
Priddy going to the Red Sox," the

II U IL "
should be divided between Of
fensive and defensive players.
They are equally essential to
the success of a team.
Notre Danes Russell Pete)
Ashbaugh is a good example OF
the fairness Of naming two teams.
Ashbaugh, former B-29 pilot,
is sure and deadly on defense.
Since he is used almost ex-
clusively on defense it would
seem only fair that he be judged
from that viewpoint.
Johnny Lujack is another good
example. His superb offensive
talents make it necessary in to-
days swift game to Utilize him
almost exclusively in advancing
the ball. Lujack also is one of
the finest defensive backs we've
ever had the pleasure of watch
ing.
The country is filled with play
ers in the same category; men
who are specialists because the
modern game demands speciali-
cation. Therefore. they should
receive full credit for carrying ou
the assignment given them.
This idea of the possibility Of
naming offensive and defensive
all-America teams is purely
personal one and is offered
