TcP, the most important gasoline development since
tetraethyl lead, overcomes the greatest cause of
power loss affecting on the road today.
In gasoline engines, metallic deposits constantly
build up spark plugs and in combustion cham
bers. These deposits "short circuit your spark
plugs They cause pre-ignition and wild ping"
But Conoco Super with TCP actually neutraIiSes
these deposits spark plugs and combustion cham
bers. Thus it boosts power up to Is 96-increases

So. Charleston
Farm Bureau To
Expand Plant

The South Charleston Branch Of
the Clark County Farm Bureau
plans an S111,OOO expansion pro-
gram at the former Dewey Broth
ers elevator at South Charleston,
according to a report Monday.
The program calls for $4,000
bushel grain elevator as well as
an expanded feed plant, it was
said. The elevator was expected
to cost about 100000 with the
balance going into the other ia
cilities.
The structure will be ready for
the 1855 harvest.
The South Charleston branch
opened in April, 1945. The busi-
ness had been owned by Dewey
Brothers. Earlier the location was
the site of the then widely-known
Houston Brothers elevator and
farm implement and supplies
store. Several old buildings on the
site have been raZed in recent
years A large brick building and
huge coal silos erected by Dewey
Brothers, remain.
It will not provide space for
government storage, however. The
manager said that the state Farm
Bureau Cooperative Association is
adding 3.5 million bushels of stor-
age space to existing facilities
within the next u months, a
measure that will permit the or
ganization to offer much more
government storage space to area
farmers.

West jefferson
Playground Area
Is Completed

West Jefferson's new shelter
house built at the village play
ground completes one of Ohio's
finest small town recreational
parks and the pride with which
local residents look upon the pro-
ject bears out the progressiveness

Cooperation of four organiza-
tions has made the playground
possible and members of the
Board of Education, the Village
Council, the Athletic Association
and the West Jefferson Business
mems Association have received
high praise from West Jefferson
residents.
The village has arranged ten
year lease on the grounds through
the cooperation of the school
board and work went ahead on the
project last year.

reation committee of the Business
mems Association. The village
park board, appointed by the
mayor, has M. H. Mellott as chair
man and Donald Elliott, Paul Laf-

visor and Mrs. Wilma Hunter is
assistant with responsibility for
activities in the village park itself.
Mrs. Hunter instructs over 100
small children each day in simple

their play on swings and equip
ment. There is badminton, shuttle
board and horseshoe sport for all.
% Across a fence on the athletic
association field, used by the high

three leagues of boys play base
ball three nights a week. There are
six teams in the Junior League,
for third to fifth-graders; four
teams in intermediate League, for
sixth to eighth-graders; four teams
in the Senior League, for high
school boys.
There are also two black-topped
tennis courts, available for use at
any time except alternate Satur-
day nights when the recreation
committee of the Businessmen's
Association holds square dances to
help pay for the program.
Last year, volunteer laborers
from the Businessmen's Associa-
ton built dugouts beside the ball
field and this year a building was
put up beside the tennis courts to
house the band and refreshment
stand.
The businessmen also made ar
rangements to take children of
West Jefferson in school buses to
London to swim in that towns
pool three afternoons a week.
