Pogo Captures Labor Vote
By WALT KELLY
Prairie Dog, Wyo., Augtember
97 (Special Dispatch) — Laboi'
leaders here expressed themselves
today as being in favor of the plank
to make “Ground-Hog Day” a na
tional holiday, a move endorsed by
Pogo supporters. “If the possum
becalms the President of the United
States, it will be our bounden duty
to see to it that animals every
where come into their own,” said
one operator of seventy five
prairie - dog hills employing an
estimated 346 workers.
Asked if he had not meant “be
comes” instead of “becalms”, the
Prairie Dog Operator said, “No
comment.”
An undercurrent of revolt, how
ever, was seen by some observers
in the fact that the working prairie
dog had not been consulted on the
matter. “We work all year long,’’’
said one who was incapable of
identifying himself, “and the
Ground-Hogs sleep. They get up
and do one day’s work, which most
of the time scares them half to
death, and they get a day named
after them. In fact they are now
being told that they can have
THAT day off. When we ask for
a day off all we get is the Mary
Haha. We are told we can go
whistle.”
On the other hand, Pogo Poll
Takers have reported that Ground-
Hog enthusiasts have set to music
the old refrain, “How much wood
would a would wood would if a
wood chuck chuck wood would.”
Ground-Hogs, the wakeful ones,
have indicated that the labor pi’o-
blem, which the new move for a
GASOLINE
has the HIGH EST OCTANE RATI NO
in Texas ... highest by far!
Humble research provides the first gaso
line specially made for cars with very high
compression engines and cars that tend to
ping or knock on “premium” gasoline.
This gasoline, Golden Esso Extra, has
the highest octane rating in town—highest
by far.
But octane rating is only one perform
ance quality. In Golden Esso Extra this
improvement paces other quality improve
ments that will assure you:
Quickest starting and warm-up; maxi-
_ 4C
mum power; fastest acceleration; increased
protection against vapor-lock; minimum
engine deposits; and best gasoline mileage.
Golden Esso Extra is the world’s finest
automotive gasoline. Its performance rates
it “premium over premium.” If your car
has a very high compression engine, if it
tends to knock or ping on “premium” gaso
line, use Golden Esso Extra.
You will save the extra cost through
performance, operating economy, and added
gasoline mileage. Dispensed from the
golden pump under the Humble sign.

Golden Esso Extra is first of three great
Humble gasolines. It costs more to make,
and those whose cars require its quality
will profit by paying more for it. Others
will not.
PREMIUM
Famous Esso Extra Gasoline is No. 1 in
Texas, first in sales among “p rer m ur n”
gasolines because it’s first in quality. Esso
Extra gives peak performance to most cars
with high compression engines. This fa
mous gasoline will continue to be the
quality leader in its field.
REGULAR
Humble Motor Fuel is for cars that
perform viell on regular gasoline. It
sets the pace for performance and
mileage among the “regulars.” It is
the only regular gasoline in Texas
that contains a patented solvent oil
to keep engines clean.

HUMBLE
National Holiday Brings up, is a
formidable one.
“We don’t get paid for holidays,”
explained one. “We sleep through
Christmas and January First, both
usually considered holidays. We
don’t get them off. We work right
on through. Then at the end of
our hitch, we get up to round up
the winter’s work. If it’s a nice
bright day we see a shadow, boom,
we get another six weeks work.
If it’s raining, we get laid off
with two weeks notice. Do you call
that fair? And now they want to
take our last day’s pay away, be
sides rigging it so that the layoff
comes about automatically. Who
are these lemmings that go around
proposing things? Why don’t they
swim back where they came from?
They got labor problems of their
own. If we need a holiday, we’ll
take Christmas at double time.”
Essentially this protest has been
drafted and is being sent to Pogo
headquarters.
