Philgas? is so economical to use in tractors that savings on fuel bills alone soon pay the cost of converting. You save on repair bills and downtime, too... because your engine lasts longer! Philgas burns clean. That means no oil dilution, no cylinder wall washing . . . longer ring and valve life. You get more power. .. smooth anti-knock performance ' under heavy loads.

BETH GUFFEY (Elementary Supervisor) Fifth glade pupils in Miss Ethel Calloway's class at Highlands School are learning how to get more enjoyment out of reading, how to increase their reading speeds, and to improve the effect iveness of their reading compre hension. This group of youngsters devised an orginal and unique game for reading improvement. Most of the work is on the mechanics of read ing, but speed in reading has been doubled for some pupils and sig nificant gains in reading compre hension have been noted. The class is divided into groups. Each group represents law en forcement officers ? policemen, sheriffs, patrolmen, F. B. I. agents etc. Eacli group of officers has specific duties to perform. In the process or reading a new story, any unfamiliar word is considered a "criminal", because it deprives the reader of complete ing his thoughts. So, at the first | reading of the story, all unfamiliai I words found by the readers are l immediately tabbed as "criminals". The law enforcement officers go into action. Dictionaries are whisked off book shelves and the records of the "criminals" are investigated. First, the scheme for showing pronunciation by phonetic respelling and diacritical marks are reviewed. Then, the record of the "criminal" (unfamiliar word) is studied. The syllabifica tion and markings are observed and the correct pronunciation Is obtained. Often the class finds that a word has diferent mean ings. So, the officers must hasten to the story and find where the particular "criminal" is hiding and how it is used in the story. Once in the hands of these efficient officers, all information is obtained and the "criminal" Is captured. When the correct pronunciation and meaning of the word are understood by all mem bers of the class, the word Is no longer considered a "criminal". It then undergoes a program of re habilitation, which is making sure I the pupils use the word often so they will remember it. Later in the day. the story is reread for fun. The underlying purpose of this work is to increase reading en joyment. The pupils look forward with eagerness to their reading period, they work energetically, and enjoy the session. They are i not only improving their reading ability, but are becoming "vocabu lary conscious" If they hear a teacher or riaitor use an unfamiliar word ('?crimi nal") It Is not surprising far the pupils to "capture" the word for Investigation. The reading period In this class is certainly one of interest and action.
