Mitchell was stunned last Friday when gusty winds whipped his $150.30 pay check from his hand as he was getting out of his car at the California Theater parking lot.

Funds are too limited to even con because of its great size, started operations early this year but has not achieved the results anticipated. Accordingly, engineers from the manufacturing firm, as well as our own engineers and scientists, have been working around the clock to improve the performance. Experiments will continue For the past few months they have also been experimenting with a small pilot precipitator simulating conditions believed to exist in the big unit. This pilot operation has been able to eliminate smoke up to 82 per cent for limited periods. We will continue these various experiments as intensively and exhaustively as we know how in order to achieve maximum control efficiency.

Meanwhile, our 15 full-time scientists whose sole job is concerned with air control and research are reviewing other operations to determine what further can be done to keep the air around our plant pure. We have been told by outside experts that ours is one of the most complete and qualified staffs on air organization in the country. Recent newspaper articles in Los Angeles have stated that some people in that area link our plant with Los Angeles smog. Our own studies, and a report "from an authoritative independent research institute, indicate conclusively that only rarely, if ever, could smoke from our plant reach even the outskirts of Los Angeles or Pasadena. This is because the prevailing winds are from that area towards this end of the Valley.

Visitors view air control facilities Hundreds of interested individuals including many county and local officials have already viewed our electrostatic precipitator in operation and have visited our Air Control and Research Department. They have complimented us on the magnitude of our control devices and the quality of our research program. While we do not yet know the solution to all phases of air control, you may be assured as a company policy we are dedicated to do whatever is possible to continue to be your good neighbor. sider Mills with its light traffic count, said the committee.

A pioneering experiment After a thorough study, decision was made two years ago to install an electrostatic precipitator on No. 3 open hearth. The manufacturer stated that this equipment would remove 95 per cent of the smoke coming from the stack. Nevertheless, this had to be approached as a pioneering experiment since there was no proven method which would work efficiently on large open hearth furnaces using hot metal. moval of stop signs on Ogden street at Vermont, making it a through street, and to establish 2nd avenue as a through street.

Today's gasoline gives yOU, under comparable driving conditions, 50 more miles per gallon than in 1925! What does it mean to you?

In the old car with 1925 gas, you'd To compare gasoline values now with the "good old days," test drivers at Standard ran popular cars of the 1920's on 1925 gas, '53 models of the same makes on today's gas, and '53 models modified to use 1925 gas. All cars were driven over the same course, on the same amount of fuel till they ran out of gas.
