Jones In The Blue Bell, August, 1941) Do you know how to start your automobile? Do You try to beat the other fellow when the traffic light turns green and race away at'twenty- flve ',=ilea, per hour in .second gear/ Do you "open lien up'.! on the highway and weave in and out of traffic? Do you leave your motor idling while waiting for your wife or dance to fin- ish her shopping? Do you neglect to check the engine performance of your car regularly''? • If you do any or all these things you're hindering Canada's war effort you're just as unpatriotic as the man who falls to "do his bit" in other ways! Why? Because, you'rea,wast- ing gasoline and thereby making it necessary to utilize more tankers and to find more vitally neededmerican doll,rs' for - the importatio of addi- tional quantities of petroleum: pro- ducts. Furthermore, you are wasting your own money and bringing the day ever nearer when gasoline for qou, and the drivers of the Dominion's other 1,500,000 motor veb,icles, will be rationed. 13y observing the six simple rules. printed on the next page, , it should be easy to get at least one more mile per gallon, according to W. H. Her- bert, Vehicles Superintendent for the Eastern Area, who has charge of nearly halt of the nine hundred and fifty motorcars and trucks in the Bell Telephone fleet. "What does that metro in'gallons and dollars?". we ask- ed Mr. Herbert. "Last year," he replied, "Bell Tele- phone mdiot' vehicles travelled q,- 262.798 miles. To us, a saving of one mile per gallon ineaus aboatt thirty- five thousands gallons or $10,000! "Of course. if every Canadian truck end Motor car• driver made a real .ef- fort to save gasoline, the results ''',uld be astounding, According to the latest Dominion- Bureau of Sta• tisties figures, over 663,000,00.0 gal- lons or gasoliee were consumed by motor vehicles in Canticle. in 1939: Let us •suppose that, by careful driving, the average motorist can get twenty instead of nineteen miles per gallon.. That's a saving of about 33,000,00C g;,tons on the annual estimated core umption o'f"663,000,000 gallons." , On the average, it costs 5.3 .cents, per mile to operate a Bell Telephone motor vehicle. This,figure represent, actual running costs 'and does not in- clude the. more or less fixed charges Fetch asdepredation,' capital invest- ment, ve t -hent, etc. ,Of..this amount. 1.9 cents • -or nearly thirty-six per cent. — is ::pent for . gasoline, . As 'by far the h r•gest part' of the "motoring" del ler is used to purchase gasoline, tt:e' company has always endeavoured to obtain ma.ximunt efficiency from the engine of every vehicle in the Beli Telephone fleet. in peacetime, it is good business— tt matter of dollars and sense — Lo watch gasoline bills, and th10.applies u motorists who drive largely for Pleasure as well, as to business men and oper"iitors of lere,e Heeds of mo- tor vehicles, In wartime, when pe- t•oleutn products are so urgently need- ed by' the armed• 'forces and war .in- dustries, it is even more important to save gasoline. Here arae •some of the tried and . 'ted ways -to, reduce gasolixL .-..r_on- sumption: (1) Drive at moderate speeds. All the company's motor vehicles are equipped with governors. These lim- it the speed of heavy-duty trucks .1n forty miles per hour, lItlf-t.on trucks to forty-five miles per houe and pas- senger models to fifty 'miles per our. They prevent speeding and the un- necessary racing of motors in fir;e and' second gars. . • de. (2) Inspect the motor regularly. Inspection of tete company's trucks varies according to the type of work t,. which the various unite are engag- ed, but it ranges from 5,000 to 10,000 miles. This periodic mechanical in- s ,2i"iele includes the checking an•ci conditioning of the engine. Every 5,000 miles, spark plugs are cleaned or; if necessary; replaced, timing is adjusted, the carburetor undergoes the vacuum gauge test, etc. Every • store room on Victoria street and have already started construction of a new concrete building to take the place of the old one. Tlie new build- ing will be one storey and much lnrg• et than the former 'building and will be used for storing coal, etc. The new fire truck purchased from th'e >Sickle -Seagrave "Co., Woodstock, was. delivered here last Friday and was demonetrated upon its arrival. The equipment is mounted on a. Dodge 21 ton chassis. has two com- plete chemical tanks, ladders and all necessary hose, etc., and should be an excellent machine when needed in case of fire. The Trustee Board of the village inten'd paying for same in about two years, without the issue of debentures. A collision between two cars, one driven by Mr. Lawrence Brisson anti the other by Mr. Clarence Brenner, took place Sunday night at a curve on the Blue Water Highway, south of St. Joseph., Both cars were badly damaged, but luckily the drivers es, ',aped unhurt. Misses Myrtle Raabe, Betty Wilson and Betty Ray, of South Bend, p�nd„ called on relatives and Mattis liege en Tuesday. Miss Elda Cali'fa.s„ of Kitchener, vis- ited relatives 'here on Sunday. Farmers in this section have cei - pleted cutting wheat, oats and bar- ley, and threshing, operations are no',v untler way. The yield is not heavy as the continued di;y ,weather has, of, rented the crops, w 10,004 miles,' the exhaust fumes are analyzed to aseentain whether the mixture is rich, lean or normal. (3) Driving Tips. .l cperienced chauffeurs know' that there are many ways to reduce gasoline consumption. Drivers of Bell Telephone vehielee are trainecl to save gasoline and thus cut down operating costs. For in stance, they are taught how to start the. engine. They are told to change frotxt first to second gear before at tain ng a speed of ton napes per hour to change from seeon,d to high before reaching fifteen miles per hour. They ]sawn that the most economical way to travel is at a steady, rate of speed without weaving in and out of traffic which involves continual speeding up and slowing down." They know that Wind resistance and a sharp increase in fuel consumption, begin at fifty miles per hour (this, is one of the rea- sons why there are governors on al the company's motor vehicles). They never idle the motor when parked. These practices have saved- the company thousands of dollars, and tens of thousands of gallons of gaso- line during the last few years. On a gallon -for -gallon basis, they will do as 'muter for the average, motorist. Try them, and see for yourself! Of course, if this remedy does u.ot reduce your gasoline bills and gallon- age sufficiently, 'you can drive- your car less -frequently, walk to work and, probably, improve your health — to :ay nothing of your pocketbook! In :his connection, we can do no better than quote a few sentences from an artiele entit'l'ed "Gasoline and Patriot- ism" which appeared in last month's issue of The Printed Word. "Most motorists will • admit that they are wasteful of gasoline," says the anonymous author of this treatise. "'They drive short distances when they, might better'walk. They drive et high speeds when there is no occa- eion for hurry, thus inereasine: fuel. consumption per mile. They make un- necessary trips by automobile. "The }'tinted Word claims that, if every passenger- car 'registered in Canada e,.tuld get ,elong with two gallons less per week, the annual• saving would be 120,000,000 gallons. ' . How are you going to save two gal- lons' a week? It's simple, says The Printed Word. Here's how: "It should not be difficult for the average motorist to save this small amount without buying a bicycle.. Neighbour accustomed to drive t business dail,' could arrange to drive their care an alternate days, taking each other as passengers. The housewife whose hatband leaves her the family ear ran plan to make one shopping trip alt the'place of three. The week -end !casure dHver can cut forty miles oft his jaunt and save his quo ' in or,'; 1 ty. Even those who us eeir cars Mainly for business would the' e'. they could make a considerable ,sav- ing by planning their rooter with economy in mind." Six :Simple Ways To Save Gasoline— and 'Money! -, 1. Learn how to start your automo• -bile. To avoid Wasting gasoline, the following should 'be followed when starting the engine: , Close choke (does not apply to vehicles with au- tomatic choke). Open throttle .about one inch. With ignition: switch in "off" potsition• and clutch fully • disea- gaged, step on :starter switch and turn engine over several times,,O•pt:n choke, turn on ignition, switch. step on starter switch. When ' engine starts, adjust choke and tthtottle con- trols to a point where engine can be kept running., Release clutch to u',r- mal position. Idle engine until choke and throttle controls can be returned to their normal posilion5. T)o not rice engine in an effort to heat u;') quire- ty. This le unnecessary and a very costly practice: 2 Change into second gear at ten. into high at fifteen, miles per boui'. 3. Never driver tastier than fifty miles per hour. �`Deme'mber: "Death b•egfne at'lifty!" And 'so does• wind resistance. 4. Drive at a steady rate of speed when in open country. Don't weave in and out of traffic or speed up and slow, down continually: • 5. Don't leave your Motor idling- • even it you are parking for only a few minutes. 0.
