One is a small pneumatic
tool which uses compressed
air to turn a socket wrench,
operate a drill, or even a
circular saw. These air
power" tools provide top
safety when working
around gas. They are also
used to operate some of the
many hundred control val
yes on the Inch lines quicker
than would be possible by
hand.
The valves themselves
are quite an item on two
1,3O0-mile pipe lines. Each
is designed for a special
task. Some are the size of
your kitchen faucet while
others are taller than a man
and weigh several tons.
Valves with brains
Main valves are power
operated and remotely con-
trolled. Some are equipped
with automatic spark-proot
electric motors which open
or shut the valve just the
right amount. Others have
hydraulic cylinders which
do the same job.
Remote valves and also
the hundreds of large and
small electric motors which
do a myriad different jobs
around Texas Eastern sta
tions can be operated by
one man from special con
soles" and panels.
Oil to protect gas
In concrete vaults are the
unique "seal oil" systems
which protect the Inch
lines new centrifugal COM
pressors.
Through these systems a
special oil is circulated con-
stantly at a pressure OF 800
pounds. This oil goes into
bronze seals on the COM
pressor axles to keep gas
from escaping.
These and other ingeni-
GUS machines make it pos
sible for the Inch lines in
your county to do a bigger
job than was thought pos
sible only q few years ago.

SUGGESTIONS FOR Woo BOARD MEMBER

00Ho Nv FOp WIZ DOAFD MEMBER
THE NEW CHARTER of the Virgin Islands COMPANY
calls. for a board of directors to be comprised of seven. three
OF whom are to be experienced businessmen. This Immediate
~ stlrS speculation as to those whose understanding of con-
dltionS, devotion to public service, and faith in what this Is
land needs and stands for, fit them for membership on the
board. AS we see it, ALEXANDER MOORHEAD, prominent
businessman OF FrederikSted, and former Chairman of the
Municipal Council, is a fit candidate. He knows the situation
from first hand experience and contact; he has shown his in
tereSt, and he may be counted upon to take to the important
meetings of the Board the welfare of St. Croix.
IN CALLING ATTENTION to what would be an ex-
cenent selection we do not exclude any other possibility. what
we point to is our conviction as to an excellent candidate. and
a capable one for the position. During the past few years the
Virgin Islands Company has been much in the news, and at
one time there were grave misgivings as to its continued life.
Now that Life has been breathed into it again, yet with a some
what curtaied budget, there is every need for careful think
ing on the policy-making level. Here, no doubt, is where much
OF what the future holds will depend, and that is the reason
for any concern expressed as to the membership of the board
of directors.
IT MUST NOT BE forgotten that the Virgin Islands
Company came into being as a quasi-government agency in
tended almost entirely for the benefit of these islands, and
that it was thought that it would take a most prominent part
in the rehabilitation of this Island. How well it has fulfilled
its mission may be shown by the great anxiety created when
the charter came up for consideration. No doubt, on the books
it may not appear to have produced the desired results, ac-
cording to some Congressional minds, but what is back of the
Company, and the part it plays in furnishing employment to
hundreds, in offering an outlet for the small growers of cane
must be taken into consideration, and there is its strong point.
and its greatest service.
WE BELIEVE THAT those who want to see progress,
, 1949-07-26

and know that the Island will
be effectively represented on
the Virgin Island Company
Board of Directors will agree
with us that no better selection
of a member of the Board can
be made than that of L E
