Top Soil Around Trees

The Mount Pleasant Citizens

District for some top soil to fill
up areas around trees at the

The idea came to the group
after the Districts chief horti-

gested that, if enough citizens
complain about the areas be-

walk, the District will do some
thing about it.

1he greatest cause Of power loss, affect
ing the majority of cars on the road today,
is now knownl
Your car loses power and wastes fuel be-
cause certain chemical deposits constantly
accumulate in the combustion chamber and
on the spark plugs.
In the combustion chamber these deposits
glow red hot and ignite the fuel-air mixture
ahead of time. This is pre-ignition. 1t results
in severe form of knock called wild ping"
On the spark plugs, these same deposits
short-circuit the electrical charge causing the
spark plugs to mishre. The combined effect of
pre-ignition and spark plug short-circuiting
is power and fuel waste
Now, you can eliminate this power loss and
fuel waste, simply by switching to Shell
Premium Gasoline with TCP-the Shell-dis-
covered additive Blended into Shell Premium
it accompGShes what no other fuel has been
able to do. TCP additive has the remarkable
property of frrproofng the deposits in the
combustion chamber, stopping pre-ignition.
SThe UNIQUE gasoline additye discovered by Shell Research
Evening star., 1953-11-10

In addition, it changes the character of the
deposits on the spark plugs to stop Short
circuiting.
As result, you get up to 1879 more power
and up to 5000 more spark plug life, as we'll
as increased gasoline mileage.
Shell Premium Gasoline with TCP is the
most significant gasoline development since
the introduction of tetraethy lead in 1922!
Shell Premium with TCP
Quick to Act
So quickly does it act that you'll feel your
engine has had tune-up by the time you'0e
finished the second tankfuH Of course, since
the deposits are constantly accumulating,
continued use of Shell Premium with TCP
additiveis the onl yway to maintainits benefits.

The idea was that judicious
use of some material favorable
to American aims from Com
munist-indorsed authors would
have a good propaganda effect
with persons having Communist
leaningS.
Senator Mccarthy hammered
away at the portion of the di-
rective which mentioned Howard

works might be given a special
credibility among selected audi

February 18 with the current or

under any circumstances of ma

The publication, called "Prob-

reprints material from various
Communist sources to point up
Soviet deception in saying diff
ferent things to people in diff
ferent parts of the world about
the same subject.
The proofs for this months

1t can't go to press as long as
the ban against use of any Com

exception for it.
'Interim" Directive Awaited.
This and other problems are
piling up as department policy
makers struggle to get out as a
substitute for the fiat ban a
new interim" directive expected
to unfreeze some types of ma
trials.
Officials say the ban already
has stalled the buying of books
for American libraries abroad,
hampered Voice Of America
broadcasterS and brought into
question a program for expedit-
ing sale abroad of American
newspapers, magazines and other
publications.
Baffled employees of the State
Departments International In
formation, who are responsible
for carrying out the ban in many
kinds of operations, want answers
to these two big questions:
/. Do their new bosses really
mean to prohibit such things as
dredging up war-like quotes from
Communist leaders to show the
nisincerity of Soviet peace prop
uganda?
2. What is a "fellov-traveler"
and especially an let cetera"
writer?
Pleas for Guidance.
From all over the world, ia
employees are telegraphing re-
quests to Washington for guild
ance on specific problems involv-
ing one or the other of those
two questions.

directive presumably will be de-
signed to answer them. Carl w.

Alfred H. Morton. chief of the
