' iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiii •* UJU* VN Holiday' Expression Originated With Pilfrlm Ever wonder where the expression "blue Monday" comes from? According to the log of the Mayflower, the Pilgrims landed on Sunday and spent the day giving thanks. On the very next day, a bleak Novejtnber Monday, the Pilgrim women took their clothing to the shore and had America's first washday. Whether they always washed on Monday or not, the expression hat become a tradition. But washday needn't be a "blue Monday"--not if you follow these suggestions from the laundry experts in the college of home economics: First of au, let everyone in the family collect his own aoiltiP clothes and put them in the laundry. Then you won't need to waste time rucaasaglng through drawers and closets. Be sur* to remove all stains from garments befonf 'washing, and mend what's necessary before the clothes go through the machine. As for drying clothes, if you fold sheets and bedding carefully when you hang them, they won't need ironing. . The same goes for towels. And sk,f down to do the ironing. f ^ " Test For .Fastness Hhen washing prints, be sure tO' test for color fastness.

Green SL McHENRY Minniiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnniiiffl More motor cars and trucks are on the road in the Midwest today than in 1941 and the per car consumption of gasoline is higher. Twice the volume of gasoline is bong consumed by tractors on Midwest farms as in 1941. The railroads have four times as many Diesel locomotive units today as they had in 1941. Diesels , burn lots of fuel oil. Additional hundreds of thousands of homes, old ' and new alike, are depending on fuel oil for dean, economical, efficient heat. More planes arrive and depart from Midwest ^airfields. Every plane has a hungry maw that must be filled with high octane gasoline. It takes a lot of tank cars, pipe lines, and barges to bring crude oil to the ftfinfrin tt> produce the ^needed gasoEne and oil.. Slaps takM toincrosss Thouaands of new wells have been drilled end era producing additional supplies of crude oil. Hundreds of miles of new pipe fines are in service. Our refineries are producing as never before--operating . at new high levels. Standard Oil's expansion program was blueprinted long before there was any break in the war clouds. It has been driving ahead ever since VrJ Day. Refinery projects already completed have added 13$ to our crude-running capacity and other projects now under way, although behind schedule because of shortages of materials, will increase this figure to 27% by next spring. ' - ~ Great progress has been made. But all this is not , enough. Why ths Midwest, fesfis the pfcidS 'Last winter's heavy demand for'heating oil caused Standard Oil to make large increases in fuel oil yields at the expense of gasoline. As the result of this and heavy gasoline demands, tiiis spring, Standard's available inventories of gasoline at refineries and terminals ate 30% below a year ago. e AIsq, in the Midwest transportation is a serious At present there juct aren't enough pipe lines and available tank cars to tftrry to the Midwest the extra load of crude oil and finished products from distant producing and refining areas, fiere again, projects which will help the situation by next spring are under way. New Standard Oil is HandNaag the sttnatiea In the interest of fair treatment of all our customers, we are putting into effect at oncie an allocatidn system for the distribution of our gasoline during June, July and August. Throughout these months |he total amount to be supplied Standard Oil Agents and Dealers in the Midwest will be approximately equal to what they received in 1946 during the same period. Since gasoline sales are running millions of gallons ahead of last year's. Standard Oil Agents and Dealers, in turn, will be luiable to meet an unlimited demand. This temporary allocation system is adopted for your protection. We frankly do not know how long this aituatabak will last. We are laying our plans on the belief that it will continue through August--perhaps longer. We do not believe the situation is serious enough to justify the introduction of formal rationing. New you may be affected hy this sHwafee There may be times when your service station dealer will be out of gasoline temporarily. Even if you ' are not always able to buy all the gasoline you want, there should be no need for real hardship. Although this is vacation time--if folks will take ' it easy, will reduce unnecessary- driving, and not at high speeds that consume a lot of gasoline --everybody should be able to stay on a fairly normal bsuiij. Nobody needs to become panicky. Hoarding; n-hielz dangerous, would only aggra- Vate the situ&L.jr.. ; I Standard Oil Dealerr ^re cooperating wholeheaftedly in this temporary _:nergency, which there is every reason to beheve will not be of too lone duration. it We earnestly bes^esk- ycur cooperation with gipur favorite Standard C.t Dealer.
