Y asst January, two New York hold-up
men murdered the bearer of a pay roll
@1.m and then ran amuck in crowded Fifth
Avenue, killing policeman and menacing
the lives OF hundreds of midday shoppers.
They were captured finally, as you remem-
Der, with the help of half dozen ordinary,
everyday. run-of mill citizens.
German newspapers called the incident
another evidence of the softneSs, lawlessness
and lack of discipline in democracy" l see
it as demonstration of the individual cour-
age. initiative and resourcefulneSS possible
only under democracy In Berlin, think
even the bravest of these citizens would have
waited to be told what to do.
Most of the crowd on Fifth Avenue, of
course. behaved as crowds always have be-
haved everywhere. and probably will for
centuries to come. The significant fact was
that out of the crowd came the kind of men
who can be counted on in emergencies, wheth-
er of war or peace; the type of man the Axis
would have us believe - and some of US do
believe - no longer exists in America. A civ
ilian, William Lumley gave the alarm. A taxi
away; despite revolver pressed against his
head. he deliberately pulled up behind bus
and stalled his car. A few moments later
another taxi driver, Leonard Weisberg threw
himself, unarmed, on the bandit who had
just slain Patrolman Edward Maher, and was
himself shot in the neck. Frank Nicholson,
clerk, grabbed one of the bandits guns, and
Joseph Di Gregorio, a nineteen year old
truck driver, got the other. District Attorney
Thomas E. Dewey said, There are at least
four civilian heroes that know of"
Ten minutes before, suppose, all of these
men would have been amazed if they had been
told they had the stuff of which heroes are
made. They are commonplace folk and their
reactions were simple. Weisberg is former
linen salesman who out of his S18-a-week
taxi wages, was saving to buy a cigar store.
Patrolman Edward Maher was his friend.
Il just wanted to help Eddie" Weisberg
told his wife. Young Di Gregorio explained,
The cop was dead, and you didn't know who
the gunman was going to get next, so
grabbed his gun
i HE truth is that heroism is so common
place that it goes almost unnoticed. Some
of us may already have forgotten the bravery
of the two California lumbermen Cecil Wet
sci and Ellis Wood, who looked down the
muzzle of a pistol pointed at them by the
kidnaper of little Marc de Tristan, and then
quietly took it from him and tied him up.
Who remembers the three witnesses who
risked death in the prosecution of AL Capone?
Probably few of us, although that incident
resulted in the establishment of gold medal
for ''valor in citizenship
We thrill at fiction depicting indomitable
courage, such as Conan Doyles The White

POSE. The hardest step to perfect in
modern ballet is the ''arabesque on
point" While doing it, the ballerina
retains complete poise and balance,
remaining motionless on one toe with
the other leg raised in back. Few dane
ers have been able to equal Pavlova's
control in this delicate performance.
At one time she held this pose for
seven seconds.
CLUE. A typewriter letter can be cas-
lily traced to its source, as no two
machines, even when brand-new and
of the same make and model, ever write
exactly alike.
ALTERNATE. An Egyptian woman
who gets divorce and then changes
her mind cannot go back to her former
husband until she has been married
and divorced by another man. Usually
an ugly or blind man is employed for
this purpose. She can marry and di-
vorce him and be free to remarry her
husband - all within two or three
hours
COLOR SCHEME. Colors for mourn
ing vary in different countries. Red is
used in some parts of Africa, white in
China and Japan, grayish- brown in
Ethiopia, pale-brown in Iran, sky-blue
in Syria and Armenia, violet in Turkey
and yellow in Egypt and Burma.
FLAVOR. Licorice, one ingredient of
which is fifty times sweeter than sugar,
has wide variety of uses, such as a
fiavoring for bitter medicines and a
foaming agent in beer and fire-extin-
gushing fluids. incidentally, licorice is
really brown, not black. Because so
many people expect licorice candy to
be black, a harmless carbon is added
to conform to this impression.
RECESSiONAL. The Bowery was one
of the gayest streets in New York until
about forty years ago, when it was
started on its decline by the publica-
ton of the song called The Bowery."
Nearly all America knew, sang and
believed its chorus: The Bowery,
the Bowery! They say such things and
they do such things, on the Bowery,
the Bowery! I'll never go there any
more" And most of them never did.

CANADA MUST
have CRUDE OIL
FROM MONTANA

Reports from responsible
sources in Canada this week i'm
dictate that Montana oil fields
will be called upon to assist
Canada in carrying ON IT'S war
activities, to supply a need OF
some 2,OOO,O barrels of oil
during the present year.
The alarming decline OF bottom
hole pressure in Turner Valley field
points to the necessity OF curbing
the present rate of production In
the interests OF conservation and
operators are said to be anxious to
conserve pressure to delay the ap-
preaching time when it will be
necessary to pump all Valley crude
producers.
1t is reported that the Steveville
field is proving disappointing, ow-
ing to water invasion and even
though this problem is solved, the
development of production can not
come in time to greatly aid Cana
dian prairie province refineries in
producing enough motor fuel for
both aviation and agricultural pur-
poses. The training of British
pilots is requiring an even greater
amount of gasoline than was con-
templated In earlier estimates OF
Dominion consumption.
The rise of oil prices in the Mid
continent and elsewhere means that
Canadian refiners are going to get
the cheapest available oil and Mon
tana crude is the closest and lowest
priced. The price of Illinois crude.
formerly supplied to Canada in
large quantities, Is now up to $1.22
per barrel as compared with Cut
Bank crude of similar gravity, at
e1.10 per barrel and Kelvin crude
at so cents per barrel.

refiner that has adequate
crude for its own requirements.

WOULD EXTEND
TRIBAL OIL POOL
one MILE SOUTH

A one-mile extension to the
southwest OF the new Tribal pool
in south Cut Bank oil field will be
attempted by the drilling of a well
in the northwest quarter OF Sec
ton 31-32-5W, according to an
nouncement of p. B. Anderson, Cut
Bank, on whose place the well is
to be drilled by Pioneer Lumber
company of Cut Bank.
Location ds in the northwest cor

Carter Test IN FaIIon
County Spuds Next Week
BIG SNOWY Line
IS FIRST HORIZON
FOR PRODUCTION

The coming week will see the
commencement of drilling opera
lions on Carter Oil company's pro-
posed deep test on the Cedar
Greek anticnne. south of the town
of Baker. Location of the test was
moved from Center SEA SW u
Sec. 19-4N-62E to Center SW u
SEA Sec. 10, a quarter of a mile
east.
The location is on the high" OF
Little Beaver dome, as establish
ed by careful geophysical work,
with gravity meter followed by seis-
mOgraph. 1t is a short distance from
the Absaroka test which was a
bandoned far short of possible pro-
ducing horizons.
Whereas it is generally believed
that the Fidelity Gas (MOntana
Dakota Utilities) discovery we'll
found it's first oil in the Madison
lime, the producing horizon was, in
stead, a lime above the Madison
known as the Snowy Mountain
lime, according to w. c. Vande-
wort of Marmarth, N. D., who has
been a close student of the geology
of the area for many years.
This territory is underlain by
the Snowy Mountain lime, he stat
es. and the first oil production
found on Little Beaver dome, was
in this lime. The formation was
found to be over 1900 feet thick.
1t is 1900 feet thick $50 miles
west, in the Snowy Mountains.
when the first of the three
wells was started here in 1885 we
all had thought that if we could
get a well drilled to $500 feet
that it would bottom in the Madi-
son lime, he states. Consequent
ly that was the way our operating
contract with the Montana-Dako-
ia was drawn. Our first oil here is
found in the Heath series of the
Snowy Mountain lime at 674T.
The second oil is found at what
is thought to be the Devonian,
although this has not been posi-
itively identified. Anyway we know
that this well did not reach the
Madison lime until it had passed
7,4OO feet and it was at least 700
feet thick with several colors show
ing through it. None of them JUS

1900 gallons. 1000 gallons and
1000 gallons. In that order. Each
treatment is believed to have in

through into a large quantity OF
oil such as might be expected in a
fold OF this type.

Is quite similar IN that respect to
Kevin-Sunburst oil. 1t has some
sulphur content but is likely to
classify as sweet" crude, similar
to Cut Bank oil
Because of the velocity OF the
gas, ii is impossible to save the oil
by flowing il into a tank but some
observers made a guess that the
well would make 40 to so barrels
per day with the use OF separators.
Irrespective Of the production OF

as sufficiently important TO justify
