SECTION TWO—] Underground Tank System Broke Chains Os Gas Fuel Industryj Green’s Fuel, Inc., is a Florida com- I pany, founded by a Floridian who | wanted to improve an industry. J. B. Green of Sarasota not only worked out the Green’s Fuel formula of Liquefied Petroleum gas and de signed the then brand new storage and delivery system. But he also de- ■ veloped the Green’s Fuel distribution < system which takes Green’s Fuel throughout Florida and the southeast. j Green took the Liquefied Petroleum gas business out of the “bottle” class < and moved it into the bulk business where the fuel sold by the hundreds ; of gallons to a customer. He just ; wanted to take advantage of the fine qualities of LP-Gas and pass it on to i the consumer. After Green developed his under- i ground gas system—he thought a tank installed above the ground would be unsightly—he started the Green’s i Fuel System. He also started distributing the gas which he called Green’s Fuel and it proved so popular in his territory that ; he started to expand the operation. He started franchising independent dealers, alloting territories to them. : He was very strict in his require ments, particularly in regard to safe ty. He had to be satisfied that a man • wanted to provide an economical gas to the public with full regard for safe- ■ ty and efficiency before he could se cure a franchise. Green’s Fuel expansion took place at an astounding fast rate. Today j every county in Florida has at least j one Green’s Fuel representative and his franchise holdings extend as far north as the Carolinas. Green’s Fuel, Inc., maintain a gas engineering service-training service — gas brokerage and routine service and many other services for their fran chised dealers who, in turn, offer a superior LP-Gas service for their many thousands of customers. The Green system came about when most LP-Gas was sold in small steel tanks, commonly called “bottles.” They were filled at bottling plants, re filled and re-delivered. It was a job for the home owner to keep a steady balance with his gas supply. Green saw the great advantages of LP-Gas and saw that it needed only a better storage tank so that it could be shipped in great bulk lots from the producer to bulk tank stations. The bulk buying naturally reduced the cost. From the bulk tank station the fuel would go to the customer’s tank which would be large enough that he could buy in quantity—at a lower cost—and not be worrying that a cold I snap would catch him without fuel: The plan also saved the cost of trans porting the small tanks back and forth. Green, a plumbing engineer, looked at the problem and solved it with his underground storage tank. Each step of the growth of the business has been planned with the sole desire to im prove the product, its transportation and storage efficiency—and the cost. Professional Chefs Prefer Gas Ranges Answers received to date from a poll sponsored by the Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association to determ ine preferences of the nation’s lead ing chefs in cooking reveal that 12-1 vote for gas. All chefs polled are professionals with years of experi ence in cooking. Comments of famed cooks from such famous restaurants as New York’s Stork Club, Toots Shor’s, the Longcliamps chain, Chicago’s Pump Room, Palmer House and Drake Ho tel; New England’s White Turkey; Hollywood’s Brown Derby and Wash ington’s Mayflower and Carlton Ho tels confirm the claims of versatility and controllability on the behalf of the modern gas range. One of the best known chefs gave as his reason for preferring gas is that it, “permits one to achieve the really fine nuances of cookery.” Another chef made the point that the gas range is more accurate and dependable foF mass cooking. Gen eral agreement was expressed by top flight cooks that gas ranges, “will take a round-the-clock beating that no other type of appliance could take.” This poll result is not surprising to the owners of the Western Gas Ser vice right here in Edenton. They have long known that housewives— who do more cooking than profes sional chefs—prefer a gas range to any other type of appliance. Western Gas Service has all types of gas ranges in its showroom on East Queen Street. There are large ranges for big meals and apartment size ranges with two to four burners. The professional cooks like the gas range—and' so do the housewives of Chowan County. USED IN SHIPYARDS Gas flames cut metal in shipyards and iron works; gas provides the pro per inert atmosphere in heat-treating furnaces so metal products will not oxidize and lose value. Page Eight L P Gas Hot Water ; Heater Saves Money; The automatic gas heater-fueled with Green's Fuel—is economical be- , cause: 1 1. It saves time, money and es- ] fort. ] 2. It costs less to install and to operate. 3. Because of the speed of the gas, ( a smaller heater will take care of the ( average customers needs. 4.

CL THUB3DAY OCTOBER 22, 1988. Burner Important In Gas Operation The first step in the actual utiliza tion 6f LP-Gas is the operation of the gas burner. Aside from chemical uses, propane and butane are of value to mankind because when burned off they give a very useful and conven tional form of heat. To obtain that heat gas must be passed through a suitable burner which mixes gas and air in the prop er ration to insure the satisfactory combustion of the fuel. Gas burning is not new. Perhaps some of the magic fires worshipped by the ancients could be accounted for by a natural gas well under a tem ple. The girst gas burners were used for lighting and the yellow flames caused by the unbumed particles of carbon was the source of light. An application of the luminous flame—a system whereby a number of small flames are located in such) a position that the flames do not touch the surface being heated—is the modem range conversion burner. This unit is designed to be installed in the 1 firebox of the range and converts it to 30,000 B. T. U. Since there is am ple space between the burner and top covers there is no flame impingement and very satisfactory combustion re sults. It was about 1855' that Robert Bun sen perfected a burner . which pro duced a blue flame by an entirely new principle. By a very ingenious de sign, air was mixed with gas without the necessity of supplying it under pressure as had been done previously with the blow pipe. The Bunsen type burner obtains the oxygen required for the blue flame combustion from the surrounding at mosphere and for this reason it is called an atmospheric burner. The word Bunsen is more commonly ap plied to a small laboratory burner with a single port, but a Bunsen type burner is one which works on the prin ciple covered by Bunsen, regardless of its size, shape or application. The orifice is the opening through which gas is admitted to the burner and it performs two distinct functions. First, it determines the flow rate of gas and secondly, it directs the gas Exclusive THIRMAFLOW ACTION creates the fastest, dry ing-est breeze ever known!

The velocity of the gas stream is the force which causes in spiration, of the primary air. If the I gas stream is directed against the side I of the mixing tube or if it meets an obstruction of any kind its velocity will be reduced and it may be im possible to supply sufficient primary i 1 air for satisfactory combustion. : J. B. Green Invented “Mighty Flame” (Continued From Page One) Green’s fuel is a form of iso-butane which vaporizes at atmospheres low er than the surrounding environs and the vapors, piped to* gas appliances ; and mixed with air, produce an in- < tsnse heat in combustion without giv -1 ing off offensive odors or poisonous gases. At the time Green’s Fuel was intro duced, propane was being distributed in a limited way in bottles and was a satisfactory dry gas. But, because of ; the high pressure exerted was expen sive to distribute. BUTANE REJECTED < Green considered butane theh, and - he considered it too hazardous and varying in its characteristics to be used unless an engineer is on the job. Green came to the conclusion that hydrogen and carbon, which are ■ abundant in the right mixture, would J make an ideal fuel. Thus came about 1 the formula and source for Green’s < Fuel, bringing as the next step the ! necessity for developing a suitable system for distribution. After many experiments and ex haustive research, Green developed an i underground tank and a method of i transferring the liquid which had not been used before for moving similar i liquids. Rigid tests proved his theory correct and he patented with the gov ernment as patent No. 1,968,141. This underground system consists < of a tank with two connections and ! necessary valves to connect up to a 1 tank truck. One of the connections is ! 1 made above the vapor lines in the two tanks and the other is made from the lower tank to the bottom of the ! truck tank. ; Valves on the vapor line are open |fljj!j M PoMZ&UL.

Next the liquid valves are opened and the liquid flows into the lower tank by gravity, vapor passing into the upper tank, replacing the space vacated by the liquid in the downward flow. The liquid measuring gauge which registers in gallons is inserted into the tank and the liquid is measured and sold by the gallon. Green’s Fuel system are installed on the premises within 10 feet of the house. A Green’s Fuel installation leaves no unsightly evidence of tanks, bottles, tubes or other obstructions that mar the beauty of the home or grounds. There is no more evidence of gas service than‘that from mains. Western Gas Service Grand Opening (Continued From Section One) are: Fred Britton, J. B. Lee, Pruden Forehand and E. T.

LEFT-HANDEDNESS , by Scisnco Features The problem of a left-handed child in a right-handed world is one which has occupied psycholo gists—-and parents—for a good; many years. Should the child be; forced to change? Should he be I left alone? I Dr. Gertrude Hildreth, a uni-j versity psychologist who has made : . ' an exhaustive) 9® study of left iyVwi handedness, be ■Vpjr lieves that chil dren are not yIjYS *>orn left s'—handed. At a (A. ‘ f fairly early age TV W a child ma y show a prefer-' enceforthe wFW \ AT right or left f. jV/«/>i vs hand but it is ’■•/fcWW only a prefer , ence. 4 For this reason, Dr. Hildreth believes that it is important to be gin training a child to use his right! . hand while he is in the crib-and nigh-chair stage, before the prefer ence becomes a deeply engrained habit, if you wish to train him at all. Here are a few ways this can be done: -i Always place toys or silverware near his right hand but never take them out of his left hand, once he has them there. Hanging rattles and other toys on the right side I of the crib or carriage may en-1 courhge the baby to use his right I hand. A toy watch or bracelet on. the right wrist may draw attention j to the right hand. ■npAi h However, if the child persists in using the left hand he should be {allowed to do so. Constant criticism may make him feel he is “different*! ana can lead to personality prob-, lams such as stuttering when he 'starts school.
