A SESSION on CONTRASTS

The General Assembly just ended has
been from the beginning one of contrasts
great contrasts. Competent business men
and responsible citizens inexperienced in
legislative procedure following blindly with
out any leadership. Likable fellows led to
the slaughter of public oponion. The first
Negro to sit in Delaware General Assem-
bly, conducting himself and legislating for
the public good to such an extent that he
was an outstanding member of the House of
Representatives. A man who was a credit to
Delaware. Over in the Senate Deaware's
first woman Senator battling it out with her
party and jumping the traces constantly.
Praised by the Democrats whose program
she frequently supported. Disliked by her
party colleagues, she finishes her senate term
in the midst of confusion and like and dis
like according to the individuals views. A
legislature that passed much progressive
legislation, and group that went far too
far in taxation. An Assembly that started
out in confusion and disorder and ended in
backroom conferences which many believe
was inspired to take care of the liquor in
terests. Trades and trades, confusion anC
disorder, tax and tax, failure to amend the
over-stringent labor laws passed in 1947, Z
General Assembly that pleased few, disgust
ed many, has passed into history May it,
actions not rise up to haunt us.

To be realistic about the whole

They are receiving a subsidy

but direct subsidies in incen-

concerned, nobody knows ex-

Sailing" dangers and salt
water vapor corrosion have always
been m jor marine problems.
Wynn's Friction PrOofing Oil in
the opinion of marine engineers
who saw the test, is the first lubri-
cant in the world to offer COM
plete protection against this billion
dollar damage problem.
CARS PROTECTED, TOO
Automobile representatives pres
ent at the test pointed out that
car owners would benefit as much
as boat owners. Between 80 and
80 percent of all wear in car
motors, they said, is caused by the
corrosion of bearing surfaces by
acids produced during combustion
Recent research has been directed
towards the production of oils that
are less acid and gasolines that are
less rusting. However, engineers
pointed out that acids are still
produced in motors from the burn
ing of the fuel in the combustion
chamber. Of course, the concentra-
ton of motor acids is never as
great as to cause the damage. sea
water does. This means, they said,
that Wynn's Friction PrOOfing Oil,
which has proved its ability to re-
sist sea water corrosion, will COM
pletely protect automotive motors
against the corrosion-wear of COM
bustion acids.
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1949-11-03

On June Is, this motor had been
sunk in the sea at the end of a
6 foot chain. Leslie E. Soderberg,
Public Accountant of Corona Del
Mar, and an Ordnance Corps
Colonel, sealed the chain at the
time of sinking so as to prevent
its removal.
Before being sunk, the motor
had been treated with Wynn's
Friction PrOOfing Oil, a lubrica-
tion additive that reduces friction
and increases motor horsepower
as we'll as protecting against acid
corrosion.
Within three-quarters of an
hour after the raising, the motor
had been dried with an air hose
and was running perfectly. Later.
under the supervision of Reggie
QuirOz, registered engineer, 901
Coast Highway, Newport Beach,
the motor was torn down. Minute
inspection by engineers and naval
officers showed no trace of rust
or cOrrosion on cylinder walls, pis-
ton rings, bearing surfaces, or on
any other vital part.
NO OTHER LUBRICANT
No other lubricant in the world
has ever been subjected to such a
severe anti-acid test. No one
thought WYNN FRICTION
PROOFING OIL could pas such a
test because no other product
would even make the claim.
