Industry Mourns
Posing of S0roh
M'Hule of Shelby

The entire Montana oil industry
mourns the passing of Sarah F. Mac
Hale, Shelby realtor and accountant,
who succumbed on Tuesday to pneu
monia at the age of 60 years. Miss
MacHale took leases for several Kelvin
operators and handled the accounts of
many others. She was responsible and
honest in her dealings and these attri-
butes brought her many friends in all
branches of the oil industry. She was
frequently called upon as intermediary
in controversial matters in that both
parties felt that she could be trusted.
Born in Michigan in 1882, she came
to Montana in 1902 as a school teacher
and was first superintendent of Hill
county schools. She became office man
ager of Shelby Townsite Co. at the
time of the Kevin-Sunburst boom and
has since continued in the real estate
business, most of which was related to
the oil industry.

Production
Showed Gain
In December

December production of 81 1853 Dbl.
per day in Montana oil fields halted the
heavy draught on storage, exceeding
the November production by more
than 10000 barrels, while market de-
mands eased from ISL 1868 Dbl. in No
vember to 649,0s3 Dbl. in December
This is revealed by the current
monthly statistical report of the Oil
Conservation Board. Storage gained in
December from 15-year low of 609,761
Dbl. to 638,139 bbl This is, on the
basis of December consumption, "a
day supply, provided all such storage
is marketable crude.
Every Montana field showed slight
gain in December production over No
vember: about 5000 Dbl. in Kelvin,
1000 Dbl in Cut Bank; "a Dbl. in Cat
Creek; % Dbl. in Pondera and about
1900 Dbl. in all other fields.
Billings refineries using Wyoming
crude imported and refined less crude
in December than in November, with
totals of 321, 100 Dbl. refined in De
cember and 1887 Dbl. refined in No
vember. Total imports dropped from
99,624 Dbl. to 64,67s Dbl.
Refiners using Montana crude used
423, 465 Dbl in December and 494, 954
Dbl in November Canadian exports in
December were 9O,243 bbl against 1885,
500 Dbl. in November. Shipments to
Idaho and Washington increased from
1O9,472 Dbl in November to 125,446
Dbl. in December.

condition under which evil men
quite rightly fear the strength Of

The relatively peaceful era Of the
18th Century was possible because Of
growing international prosperity re-
sulting, among other things, from
liberal British Free Trade agree

seller and by spreading prosperity
and entrenching ideas removes many
causes for conflict. Those who hope
for a lasting peace and freedom from
fear through world economy based
on government controls are chasing

more conflict, less freedom and a
lower standard of living everywhere.
