HOW ABOUT ONE FESTIVAL

HOW O N FESTIVAL
IT IS TOO LATE to make any major changes in the OBJ
servance of the Christmas Festival for 1861, but certainly for
1862 the St. Croix Christmas Festival should make the most
serious effort to coordinate its forces and poerate from q cen
tralzed governing body. AS things now stand there are going
to be two, or possibly, three festivals, and if that continues
there will be endless little groups all over the Island claiming
yes, demanding, that a festival be conducted in every loca.
ton.
IN UNITY THERE is strength. That slogan somehow
brings to mind the coming together of two or more persons,
groups, or forces. They combine their strengths, their efforts:
and their resources, and the outcome is a unified whole much
much more effective than the individuals themselves But des-
pite all thirs, the greatest misfortune which befeD St. Croix
was the founding of the. two towns. If the early settlers had
somehow envisioned the problems, they might have put all
their efforts in one big town, and what a difference there
would have been!
THE CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL should set out on a much
more effective note for next year. The Committee should be
comprised of representatives from all over the Islands, with
out emphasis on any one section or town. Such a group should
then elect officers and an executive or steering committee
without regard to where they happen to live. The thought
should be on one, big, c~oordinated festival for the entire Is,
land and our people.
WE IN ST. CROIX are doing exactly what the South
has done for years in insisting upon two OF everything. ms
not only dissipates the resources at hand, but reduces the ef-
fectiveness Of every single step taken, for then everything has
to be done twice, two sets of bills have to be paid, two sets Of
ideas formulated and carried out, and the whole thing SO di-
luted that there is really no strong,e effective and invigorating
program.
AGAIN, IT IS URGED, let the coming year see the diff
ferent, bigger, and better fe~stival-one of the people, for the
people, and by the people Of St. Croix.

Trouble Is
cooling system leaks

Tiny leaks of permanent anti
freeze can play nasty tricks with
many motor oils.
These oils can react chemical
ly with permanent anti-freeze
and form horrible sludgewhich
can actually bring an otherwise
healthy engine to a standstill.
Milford chronicle., 1961-04-14

the oil resists thinning.
Thus, new Shell X-lO0 Pre-
mium eliminates trouble from
sudden temperature changes. 1t
lubricates just as efficiently in
June as it does in January.
Trouble ~ engine acid
All automobile engines manu-
facture acid. This acid can do
far more damage than friction.
1t can ear away at engine parts
in much the way stomach acid
can cause ulcers. Then you re
really in trouble.
One way to combat engine
acid is to make the oil alkaline.
Many oils use this method. But
here's what happens.
The nentralizing effect of al
kaline oil inevitably gets ,ueaker
and weaker as engine acid eats
mp the alkalinity-till it epentu-
ally stops working completely.
Then youu oil no longer gives
yon anti-acid protection.
Shell tackles this troublesome
acid problem in new way.
Shell MOO Premium actu-
ally plates all engine surfaces
with thin chemical film. The
metal literally adsorbs some of
Shell MOO Premiums protec-
tive qualities. Chemists call this
phenomenon "chemisorption."
"Chemisorption" offers a
longer-lasting protection against
acid attack than any other
method yet invented.

Trouble ~
Temperature changes

Many motor oils tend to become
too thick when cold and too thin
when hot.
New Shell X-l00 Premium is
an all-year oil. Here's how it
works. Alkaline has a molecular
structure that resembles a basket
of eels.
When the oil is cold, Aka
dimes eel-like molecules curl up
as if for comfort. In effect, they
take up less space in the oil :
and the oil flows freely through
the tightest bearing, even on
cold nights.
Conversely, when the Aka
dine in new Shell X-l00 Pre-
MUM is hot, its molecules uncurl.
They take up more room. And

A. & p. There was a man who went
out the door with big bag. As he

cold sidewalk. and il rolled to the

Soon colored boy came along
and kicked IL against the parking

must be feeling very cold. Then a
colored man went out of the store
and stood. After a while he did a
dance step and. in doing il. missed
the lemon by half an inch.
Then Dorothy and | had some
customers but when we looked out
again the lemon wasn't there. We
decided somebody had picked it up,
and now it probably has a good
warm home.

The Effect of Carbon Dl0xide on
Plant Life
Our class has been studying
science recently. For my expert
ment I chose the effect of carbon
dioxide on plant life.
The materials / used were:
three quart jars, vinegar. baking
soda, and five or six bean seeds.
First, | planted the seeds in two
of the quart jars. When they were
about an inch high, / put carbon
dioxide in one of the jars.
The carbon dioxide I used was
made by mixing baking-soda with
a little vinegar. Ii is easily poured
from one vessel to another because
the gas is heavier than air.
The carbon dioxide acts as a
food for plants. The plant / added
carbon dioxide to grow faster be-
cause it had more food.

A Quick Trip To Ireland
A few weeks ago we Had the OPP
portunity of attending one of a
series OF travel programs. spon-
sored by the Dover School and the
Wilmington Evening Journal. This
one was on Ireland.
At the show there were three
men TO tell us a little about Ire
land. They said. The people on
television don't do the irish dances
the right way. because there is not
that much movement"
They had some children that
were trained TO do Irish dancing.
They did an Irish Reel. an Eight
some, and an Irish Jig. They also
did the Hornpipe dance.
They showed us beautiful films
on Ireland. These showed the way
OF life and some well known

doesn't add to this problem : be
cause it doesn't contain a single
metallic additive.
Trouble #z-crankcase dirt
All engines accumulate crank
case dirt no matter how well
they are protected by filters. The
problem is to stop this dirt from
getting together and forming
sticky sludge which can clog
your engine.
Most premium oils use a de-
tergent additive to do the job.
And they perform well. But, like
other additives, most detergents
are metallic and cause that old
devil "a ash.
Shells solution is to replace
detergent with a remarkable new
ingredient known as a disper-
SAINT, called Alkadine.*
The Alkaline in new Shell
X-l0O Premium helps keep your
engine clean by holding dirt par
ticles apart. Thus they don't form
sticky slradge. Some particles can
be trapped by the oil filter; most
are drained out when you change
yonr oil.

it will suck the water up into the
glass. The water will stay in the
glass but when the glass cools the
water will go out.
The reason the water goes into
the glass is that the fire burns all
the oxygen up inside. The air pres
sure has to be the same inside and
outside.
So the pressure on the water of
the outside air. which has oxygen
in it. is greater than the pressure
of the air inside the glass. which
has had the oxygen burned out of
it by the burning paper. and this
unequal pressure forced water up
in the glass.
We learn that the air pressure
has to be the same inside and out

New Shell X-100 Premium is
genuine breakthrough because
it is the only motor oil available
that helps protect your car stimuli

internal troubles that can shorten

Trouble #1-additive ash
Up to now, even the best pre-
MUM motor oils were powerless
to guard against additive ash :
because they actually created it.
While endeavoring to keep your
crankcase shipshape, some of the
ingredients in these oils con-
tributed to the hard crust of ash
inside your combustion chamber.
All other premium motor oils
still have the same snag.
The trouble stems from the
metallic additipes used to pre-
vent scufing, dirt deposits, oxi-
dation and so forth. These addi-
tives do what's expected of them,
but with each stroke of the
piston, they can leave a tiny
amount of metallic salts in the
combustion chamber where they
burn and form additive ash.

ants and fines Of $500 each for
the other two. All were
charged with conspiracy tc
