I The on Situa-
ton

The fact that the oil develop
ment in Scott and Morgan counties
is at low ebb may cause some of
the readers of the Press to be dis
couraged as t. the out look for the
future. .....
There are number O. things
that are working against the test
ing of this territory at present
In the first place the demand for
structural steel for ship building
has made it difficult for operators
to secure the material for drilling.
The shortage of skilled labor is al
so factor i'm the undertaking of
any new enterprise. However the
fact that number one crude oil has
gone to the heretofore unheard of
price of four dollars per barrel is
causing the oil people to concen-
trate their energies on the fields
where oil is known to exist in pay
ing quantities, and not until oil
prices decline will much new terri
tory be tried out. The discovery
of oil in the Beaver sand at depth
of 1905 feet in the Mrs Pemberton
well no 8 is the out standing fact
of first Importance in recent de-
velopmept in the Glen Mary field.
The known exisGance of two oil
sands in this territory doubles the
chances for finding oil and is the
one most encouraging feature of
the present situation.

The war has begun to open the eyes Of educators

All that IS IS to recognize that the
fundamental truths of social Justice and national Loyalty
must be taught TO every American and taught dearly.

Here's one thing I want you TO re-
member. If ever the Red Cross has any
collections don't fail TO give. for there
isn't better cause. We made six spe-
oial stops just so the Red Cross could
show US what they are doing with the
money they collect and here's what
they give US: Cigarettes. matches. candy
writing paper. ice cream. coffee. hot
doughnuts. chewing gum and plenty Of
all this stuff too. oh. yes. and they
gave us postal cards. bananas, and be-
lieve me it cost bunch of money to
