price is S2.05 for Bradford-Aliegheny
OIL While the top here is ST for oil of

In California, oil output has increased
steadily to nearly $4,000 barrels a day
almost 10000 barrels more than con-
troll agencies considered a reasonable
production for the State under the
present curtailment program for the
country. The voters of California will

prevent waste and over production, will
become law.

TALK HERE FRIDAY
Continued from Page u


County commissioner races occupy
the limelight in three districts
George Schmiesing, incumbent and
Philip Raveling are contestants in
the first district; j. P. Kragh, incum-
bent, and Carl Christ;anson, in the
third district and Herman Muetzel,
incumbent and John Hines, in the
fifth.
On the county amendment ballot,
voters will decide whether to change
from county system of poor relief
to system whereby the problem
would fall upon the local governing
unit. Of four amendments proposed
for the state constitution, Redwood
county is expected to accord the great
est vote to the first, the income tax
amendment, which is hailed as farm
relief measure in shifting tax burd-
ems from real and personal property
to incomes.
Most difficult task for voters is the
selection of nine congressional candi-
dates from 80 names listed on the
ballot. Victor Christgau, first district
congressman, is "sticker" candidate
for reelection, making total of 81
aspirants.
Next weeks Redwood Gazette will
bring readers latest election returns
available as soon as the important
decisions are reached.

 Early returns on poll conducted by the Association of Motion Pic ture Producers, headed by Will Hays, has revealed that as the most surprising development of pie ture preference in recent years.
 Slapstick comedy is the first choice of majority of the voters; second choice goes to thrill pie tures," based upon mystery plays and detective stories, and third choice is for adventure films and stirring yarns of the wide open spaces.
 Western thrillers have lost little of their popularity, being rated ahead of sex triangle and prob lem plays.

weakened condition they could not be left, by the cannery watch man, the only person there at the time Through that mysterious source, the moccasin telegraph, word had reached Biorka, small island near Unalaska Island, that three of their people were lost and two men started out to search. One persisted that he wanted to take his bidarka and cruise along the shore line, which was ridiculed as foolish proceeding by the oth- CT, as it was so far out of the beaten path. However, the man followed his inclination and finally landed just about where old man Mercu- lief lay almost dead from exposure and starvation. It seems, when left alone the old man kept strug- gling along, but soon became con- fused and left the trail and crawl ed to the beach, where he lay un- sheltered and starving for four days. Although unconscious much of the time he realized he could not live much longer and had giv- en up all hope of being found. The
 rescuer dragged hte sick man to his bidarka, which was but a one hatch affair, and slowed him away, | then got in himself and padded back home. The old mans feet and hands were frozen and he was ! so weak he could hardly walk, but regardless of not having any med
 ical assistance they kept him
 alive for a few days until weather
 permitted them to carry him home l to his family in Unalaska He is
 now back on his feet again and
 does not appear much the worse
 for his terrible experience. The
 boys were cared for at the cannery
 and returned home as soon as they
 had gained sufficient strength for
