and coastal areas and thus accen-
tua*e hazards. .—
( Five of th\? first water fatalities
this year, the executive secreta-
iy- observed came when small
boats were upset. Two men per-
ished in one such tragedy. The la-
test of this type was in Lone Star
Lake, taking one life.
The double fatality, occurred
near Shlro in East Texas in a
stump-studded lake created by a
dam.
It was suggested that one of
the other diownings reflected more
common dangers to modern boat-
ers. This occurred in Mountain
Creek Lake in North Central Tex-
as. The pair went out in rough
water to test a new boat The mo-
tor1 quit. One man stood up to
start it. A wave from a passing
boat upset the craft, •unbalanced
as it was.
The executive secretary noted
overloading with passengers still
is one of the more costly lapses.
"Three is the average safety maxi-
mum for the average small boat,"
he noted, • "yet oftentimes we see
up to seven and eight In these
boats. Even though some may be
children abd lighter, the hazard
’still is multiplied.'’
He suggested adequate life pre-
servers should be carried; that
waves of passing trait should tie
crossed at an angle of at least
45 degrees, and that no one should
ever stand up in a boat especially
if others are in the craft.

GULF’S FLEDGE to the motoring public
• \Ye at Gulf make this promise to America's motorists. We will not
permit a single compelilor—no, not a single one—to offer a gasoline
superior to our own superb No-Nox.
• It is our sincere belief that No-Nox Is the finest gasoline on the
market today, and no matter what others do Or say we will keep it the
finest—in power, in performance, in engine protection.
• This is not a boast, not a claim. Il is a pledge
to you, the motoring public—a pledge backed
by the resources—and the Integrity—of the Gulf
Oil Corporation.

But octane alone is not enough. Only a gaso-
line that burns clean can make its full-octane
power really Work for' sou'' mile afUy 'mile.
That s why new Gull NO-nqx is supcr-rrfmcil
to burn clean and make this power last
thousands of miles loitp'r!
I his lamp test above shows what a difference
Gulf super-refining makes. Gulf refines out
the dirty-burning Jail-end" of gasoline, at
the refinery, to bring sou new Gull NO-NOX.
Just see how dean new NO-NOX burns.
Fill up with new-Super-Refined Gulf No-

• More complete engine protection than
with so-called "mtradr-addilive” gasolines.
• Extra g*s mileage in the short-trip, stop-
and-go driving motorists do most.
• Stall-proof smoothness . . . instant starts

• No knock, no pre-ignition—even in tp-
