EMPLOYMENT SURVEY
MADE IN SEWARD
Melvin E. Weir, manager of
the Anchorage oi'i'ice, Territorial
Employment Service, was in
Seward this week making a sur
vey of employment conditions
here.
Mr. Weir’s visit was in direct
response to the request of the
Chamber of Commerce to make
Seward a critical defense hous
ing area, according to informa
tion given the Chamber of Com
merce at the Tuesday meeting.
Results of the survey are not
known here, and will not be
until after a report has been
made in Washington.
One of today's modern jet
fighters lias enough power to
pull six 60-car freight trains,
fully loaded. The six Diesel
locomotives normally required
for the job weigh 90 times as
much as the whole plane, and
over 480 lim.s as much as the
jet powerplant.—“Planes"
U.S. domestic certified air
lines flew 250 million ton miles
of freight in 1951 -equal to car
rying one ton on more than 500
round trips to the moon!

Aviation Safety
Discussions
D. M. Gretzer

The Office of Aviation Safety
Holy Smoke, It's Afire
Every winter we hear of air
planes burning up instead of
warming up. The pilot’s accident
report usually says, . flames
were first seen around the edges
of the engine cover.’’
Flames do not “just appear;”
something catches fire. Why?
The fire-pot is a source of
tremendous heat. The engine
cover surrounds it and the en
gine, to contain the heat. Old
timers use these precautions:
1. Place the fire-pot in an
open topped drum (50 gallon
drums are usually used), or use
wooden stakes, tepee-like to tent
the cover.
2. Don’t use two fire-pots, but
if two must be used, never Lave
them. If one goes out, its raw
gas will be exploded by the
other pot.
3. A fire-pot should not be
left unattended. Several air
planes w.rc lost while the pilot
left them to attend to other
matters.
4. Many pilots tail the air
plane into tiie wind, so that if
the engine cover catches fire,
the wind will keep it from the
fabric.
5. Run tlie carburetor dry
before stopping the engine, and
leav. dry until fire-potting is
finished; otherwise the gasoline
will expand and drip.
Jet Fuel for Jets Only
Tiie November, 1951 issue of
"Aviation Age” carries the fol
lowing information:
"Navy’s BUAER comes up
with this warning: A very small
amount of JP fuel used in jet
engines can contaminate stan
dard aviation fuels to such an
extent that their operating per
formance is reduced below the
critical point.
"Power failure in a conven
tional engine could result from
the addition of such a small
amount that its presence could
not be discovered by any known
method short -of a laboratory
analysis. No change in the color,
appearance or odor of the fuel
would show the presence of the
JP fuel.”
