Thursday, June 3, 1954 NEWS FROM Wonder Lake By TaiMM 8eD« Invites Women The Wonder Lake Woman's club extends an invitation to ail women of the area to. be guests at ihe club's next meeting on Friday, June 11, "at eight o'- " clock. The meeting will be held in the home of Mrs. Henning Widen. A moving, picture,_ entitled "Fly With Godfrey," will be shown as a part 4of the program. Membership in the woman's club is open to any woman of the community whether she is a permanent or a summer resident. The project for this year is improvement of the community. * Wonder Lake Girl Heads Club Virginia Audino, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Audino of Indian Eidge, was elected to head tjie McHenry high school's Girls' Athletic association at the annual banquet of the group Wednesday. Virginia is the first Wonder Lake girl to be so honored by the largest girls' group at the high school. Betty Wright, daughter cf the C. L. Wrights of Wickiine Bay, was elected chairman of the board. Both Betty and Virginia were already members of the GAA board. Betty was also runner up for the tennis trophy. Reports Boat Stolen Angelo Solomoni of Wonder View subdivision at the south end of Wonder Lake, reported to the sheriff's office that a 14- foot boat, which he had chained ti> a pier," has been stolen. ACCIDENT TOLL Motor vehicle accidents on Illinois highways during the first four months of this year killed 593 persons, a decline of 34, or five per cent, from the fatalities reported during the similar period of 1953, according to the state Division of Highways. During April, 157 deaths were caused by traffic accidents on the state highway system, a reduction of 15 per cent from April, 1953. The Department of Labor W%8 created in 1913. Proper Storage Saves Gas Supply -Proper farm storage will save gasoline Just as a good roof will save corn and hay. H. P. Bateman, agricultural engineer . at the University of Illinois College of Agriculture, says that shading your outside storage tank with a sunshade or tree will cut down evaporation loss. S * Loss from evaporation through, the Vent can run as high as 10 per cent in a month if you let the temperature in the tank rise in the hot summer .*un. And you'll find that your tractor is harder to start when you use the gasoline that's left. Part of the gasoline evaporates, and what's left has a higher gum content that ir^y cause sticky valves. i You'll be unwise to shade your gasoline storage tank by putting it in a building, Bateman says. That will void your fire insurance policy and increase the possibility of fire. Keep a stor age tank at least 15 feet away from any building. • Use a pressure valve oh the ver.t to reduce evaporation los3, the engineer suggests. Such valves allow the pressure to build up to 2 or 3 pounds per square inch before they release the pressure. Your gasoline ser viceman can tell you about them. Tilt your tank a little so that water and sediment can collect in the end opposite the gasoline outlet. Drain out the accumula' tion at Jeast once a year. Underground storage tanks are good for keeping gasoline in the £est condition, according to Bateman. Use a good quality tank, and coat it with a waterproofing material to help prevent leaks. Locate an underground tank away from wells and sewer lines. Wells have been ruined by gasoline that leaked from an underground tank, and gasoline has been known to run into basements and milk houses through sewer lines and cause explosions. These are only some of the more important things you should consider when you store fuel on your farm.
