Standard O;l of Cal fo"aia Announces New Program In Line with War Effort

Announcement was made today by Standard Oil Com pany of California of a war time program now under way by which the Com pany plans soon to have only two kinds of workers: l, the employee who pro- duces goods essential to the war effort and, 2, the em- ployee who produces pro- ducts or services needed to back up the first worker.
 An employee whose job now falls into the category of peacetime work which can be deferred for the du- ration may be given new training and assigned to a place in one of the two es- sentjal groups.
 An important part of the plan is Standards inten- tion to draw from its own personnel in replacing en- ployees called into military service, instead of going out into the market to h.re men and women who could be used in other industries.
 In making the announce ment, President II. D. Col Tier pointed out that this was not primarily an econ omy move. "As viewed by the Directors,' he said, this program is one of de- termining the qualifica- tions and talents of all em- ployees with the end-pur- pose of mobilizing the en- tire Company into an in- dustrial army"

Registrants with Dependents Will Be
 Drafted Unless In Essential Industry

Juneau, May Many Seectve Service registrants who have been deferred from military service sole ly because they have dependents will eventually be inducted unless they become engaged in activities essential to the Nations effort John L. McCor- mick Territorial Director of Selective Service declar ed today.
 We are rapidly approaching the stage where every must be working or fighting to win the war" Dir ector Mccormick asserted. War requirements - the demand for manpoWer by essential industries as well as the armed forces will compel many local boards within the next several months to find seectees for their quotas among registrants who have dependents.
 Right local boards are reconsiderng all regis trants with dependency deferments for major The first is to eliminate from this class all men who cannot prove that their dependents need their earned income for support in reasonable and all who cannot prove that they did not acquire de- pendentS to avoid military service. The second pur- pose IS to distinguish between who have depend entS but engaged in activities aiding the Na- tion's effort and those who contributing for victory by their work civilians.
 By making this distinction between those engaged in essential activities and those whose civilian occupa tions not contributing to the effort is desir ed to induce voluntary movement O the latter into essential activities and thus to release for military service men without dependents who must be deferred necessary men until they can be replaced at their work
 Persons engaged in nonessential activities however, should not their present employment until their services needed in some essential activity the Dir ector warned He said:
 This voluntary movement from nonessental to es- sental activities should be gradual orderly and ec- chemically sound transfer of manpoWer The Federal Government will make known from time to time, the opportunities for training and employment in actv- tieS essential to the effort so that this shift of employment may be made without unnecessary dis turbance to the welfare of the community the family and the individual. Each individual registrant how ever, knows should inquire into his own capabil- ltles and the opportunities for employment in war n- dusry and should seek such employment without wait ing for specific instructions from the Government"
 When with dependents are considered for mili- tary service, the Director emphasized local boards will have regard for occupation together with the degree of dependency Regstrants who have the greatest degree of dependency, such dependent wife and children will be the last group sought for military service he said, provided that they have become necessary men in production or supporting activities"

and vegetable ivory. These, with it's precious stones, it's platinum, gold, silver and other minerals, Columbia offers in exchange for much of that which fl still needs in the way of foodstufs, textiles, iron and steel products, railway supplies, school and office sup plies, machinery, automobiles, agricultural and mining implo- mentS.
 And not to be ignored in any reckoning is the fact that this republic is the only country in South America with a seacoast on both the Atlantic and Pacifr oceans with good ports on both, open to the trade of the world
 A veritable treasure chest though Colombia is, the gem su- preme, in the mind of the true OOlonDldn, IS the 1act that IDeF- ation from the yoke of Spain came at the hands of the Great Liberator himself - Simon Boil var who led the army of patriots to victory in the decisive battle of Boyaca, August ', 1877, but it was Santander, the Man of Law who established the consti- tutional regime of New Granada, the republic of Colombia as we know it today.

 Only Russia, at times, has been able to take first place from Col umbia in output of platinum. The extent and wealth of Colombian gold deposits is still largely con lecture. It is thought that her en- tire Pacific Coast has been form ed by gold-bearing alluVial. Great stretches have never been explored except by native hunt CTS. AS the Pan American high way and tributary roads push on these and other areas can be opened for mining,
 Colombian territory covers 439,828 square miles. Within the nations borders the Andean mountain system splits into three parts, joining again in the ex- treme south. So the rivers run north and south in the valleys between the mountains. The eli mate varies widely as do the attitudes. Tropical along the coasts, it is temperate in the high CT regions inland. Bogota, with an elevation of 8,546 feet is cool and healthful the year around.
 There is a corresponding varia ton in products. Prominent in export trade are coffee, cocoa sugar cane, tobacco, bananas, hardwoods from the vast forests,
