HAPPY BIRTHDAY

A glance at the date line shows
that this Volume 81, No. So. rounds
out Fl years Of reporting the
news Of Montana oil and mining
development. Next week we start
Volume %, No. /, venturlng into
our 22nd year, which time spans
the history Of commercial oil de-
veIOpment in Montana. Twenty
years ago this week the Campbell
discovery well at Kelvin was COM
pleted, making this week n double
anniversary.
We wish 20 thank our friends
among the Old-tmers who were
thoughtful enough TO remember
our birthday by letters and per-
sOnaI calls. We might grow rem
iniscent except that there is a job
to do that has all 70 do with the
future.
The most stirring chapters of
Montana oil history, we believe,
are about 10 be recorded.

.PRIORITTES IN
OIL SUPPLIES
ARE SIMPLIFIED

Principal provisions Of Preference
Order Pea are retained until May IS
by virtue Of an extension Just issued
by the war production board, the Of
flee Of petroleum co-ordinator an,
nounced today.
No changes are made in the prefer
ence ratings, except that natural gaso-
line extraction plants are given the
same ratings as refineries.
The principal difference between the
old Order P-98, which expired Sunday,
March IS, and the order as extended,
is In the organization Of subject mat
ter Formerly, the ratings were CLASH
fled by functions: that Is, production,
refining, transportation and market
ing. Now, the grouping is by ratings:
Ais, AIS, A-8s and A-10s.
The purpose Of the Encouragement
Is to shorten and simplify the order.
The definitions Of production, refin-
ing, transportation and marketing
of main gas trunk line" has been
added.
A new inventory basis is also pro-
vided by the extension order It defines
minimum practicable inventory as one
not exceeding 90 days supply of ma
terials.
One section of the extended order
that is Of considerable Importance to
many operators Is that which defines
maintenance, repair and operating
supplies. This section specifies that
this type of supplies does not include
material for the replacement of an
item carried on the operators books
as fixed asset. However, the operator
is permitted to apply the proper pref
erence rating TO materials for a part
of such an item, If he can properly
charge the cost to operating expense
and not to capital account.
Thus, If an operator wants to re-
place a Joint in pipeline, or a tubing
or casing, and can properly charge the
expense to operation and not to cap
itaI account, he can apply the prefer
ence rating which is assigned to main (
tenance, repair and operating supplies.
The extended order makes clear that
the ALE ratings, applicable TO pro- /
duction materials used exclusively for
Cbut not drilling), includes
specialized automotive equipment, used
In such operations and attached to
automobiles or trucks, but does not
include automobiles, trucks, motors,
parts of motors, tires or chassis.
Aiding the natural gas industry Is
4 provision which permits operators to
apply Az ratings to chemicals used
n extracting, cycling and other plants.
It avoids the delays experienced In
applying for these materials on PD
'orms.
The order emphasizes that, II an
operator who wants a material having
/ high rating can obtain 1t through
over rating, he must use the latter.

County Education
Criticized by Women

Can we educate our children for
democracy while we support an
all-out defense of democracy? Can
the schools give our children the
kind of education we want them
to have when teachers are resign
ing at such a rate that probably
only one half of experienced
Prince Georges teachers will still
be in the schools next fall?
These are some of the questions
that were discussed in an open for
um meeting sponsored by the
Prince Georges County League of
Women Voters and the County
Federation of Womens Clubs. DR..
Sidney Hall, former commissioner
of Education of Virginia was the
speaker, and the meeting was held
in the new Administration Audi
torium at the University of Mary
land, on Wednesday evening.
To give the people some idea
of the serious situation that faces
Prince Georges County schools the
County Federation of Womens
Clubs and the League of Women
Voters are distributing 10000 cop
les of a little booklet bringing
these facts to their attention.

By THE STAFF

AS members of a Greenbelt or

Cooperator, herewith enter as our
candidate in the Forthcoming De-
fense Rally Popularity Poll, Miss
Joan Mcnamara.
If Joan, originator of the "High

ular with others as she is with US,
we know she'll win the Poll.
Those personally unacquainted
with Miss Mcnamara might be in
terested in learning just what we
consider her qualifications. She's
popular with US because of her
nersonality-a combination of
sugar and spice her at
tractive appearance (that beauti-

If any other candidate has a

D. T.. and Area Lead
Nation in Building
During 3 Months
City Permits TotoI
S75,446,34l Against
$50,756.175 Year Ago
By FRED H. MORHART, Jr.

Washington and its Metropolitan
Area led the Nation in construction
during The first eight months of
this year, according to the value of
building permits issued, the Labor
Department reported today.
The permit valuation during the
period for the city was s75, 5,446,341,
as compared with $50,756,175 year
ago. The former figure is consid-
erably increased when nearby areas
are included, bringing the total close
to the 100000, 900 mark. A con-
siderable amount of the new con-
struction was the result of war hous-
ing and Office space building.
Second to Washington was Chi
cago, which had permit valuation
of s73,171, 1895 for the eight months
of this wear, as compared with s46.-
74l,645 a year ago.
S68,618 for Week.
Meanwhile, for the week, Robert
H. Davis, building inspector, issued
permits OF only $68,618 value, a
figure close to the lowest level re-
corded here. Officials of the inspec-
tors Office attributed the low figure
to the season, priorities on building
materials and general curtailment
of construction.
However, an estimate of the
months total building permit valu-
alton was given as S2.449. 900 for pri-
vate construction and $4,000 for
the construction of two temporary
schools here. The monthly estimate
of building permit valuation is con-
siderably under that of last month.
While the building trend here was
on the upswing, the Labor Depart
ment reported that throughout the
Nation there was a go per cent
drop from the. total of last year
This covered the field of new resi-
Dental, new non-residential and
general repairs in 1891 cities which

now furnished as a game room but
with the adjoining bath would make
a complete sleeping apartment. On
this floor is another wonderful
cedar lined closet and a large in
sulated trunk storage space which
will make the lady OF the house"
ecstatic with joy.
The kitchen is a dream of con-
venience. Red-topped work areas,
a double sink and an electric stove
which has a working light as we'll
as one within the oven, make "kitch-
en- policing" fun whether you do the
work yourself or not.
Plenty of storage space and deep
broom closet provide for utility,
though the actual footsteps neces-
sary from one point to another are
at minimum.
Between the kitchen and the din
ing room is combination pantry
and breakfast room. A solid plate
glass window makes you feel as
though you are out-of-doors and
another sink and work area, with
cabinet space above, will make this
small room doubly useful when
dinner is served or needed for enter
tanning
Below stairs the basement has a
fireplace. With its full length win
dows it could be made into whatever
type of recreation or play room the
owner desired. Entrance to the
garage and laundry facilities are
conveniently located here.

as hair dressing salon and child's

roads, huge old trees and hillsides
offer all the joys of country living
the city is just around the corner
whenever necessary.

Another advantage of the new
roller is that 1t will apply all types
of interior paint-fat, gloss, semi
gloss-whether oil-base or water
thinned.
The cylinder is of metal so
shrdinking and cracking is elimi-
mated. The sleeve, which is of
deep-pile. fabric-like carpeting, is
easy to remove for changing from
one color to another in painting and
for ease in cleaning.
The paint should be poured into
fiat, square pan, wider than the
roller and tilted at one end. Dip the
roller in and roll it back and forth
until the fabric sleeve is saturated.
Start to paint at the top left corner
of the room.
Roll down the wall in diagonal
stroke, then raise the applicator and
repeat the motion, close to the
first stroke but not overlapping 1t.
