DOVER MAN MEETS PAL
Lieut.. Ben Courtright Meets Lieut..
With Same Surname

Chance has brought together at
a Midwest transition base two
Army bomber pilots of the same
surname with strong possibility
that they may be related by blood.
Lieut.. Ben COPYRIGHT, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Benjamin F. COPYRIGHT,
Dover, and Lieut.. Milton Court
right, Elmira, N. Y, have been the
pilots of the same Bog Marauder
for some weeks, meeting for the
first time when they were assigned
to that craft. The parents of the
Dover pilots father were of the
Elmira section, giving strength to
belief that the two fiiers who have
met in such a manner are related.
The two have been pals since meet
ing, but have not had the time to
attempt to establish if a blood re-
lationship exists. Both received
their wings in June and now have
completed training that qualities
them for combat or an other phase
of military flying, Lieut.. Ben
COPYRIGHT has been in the Army
two and half years and in the Air
Corps about year.

ence of Oil

Maryland's Kent County has long
been noted for it's fertile fields and
high producing crops, but not until
recently had it been believed that
a flow of oil may be lurking be-
meath its productive soil. Promot-
ers for an oil company, who have
been investigating evidences of the
existence of oil on lands extending
over a 10-mile belt from near the
village of Fairlee to the vicinity of
st. James Methodist Church in
Worton, are reported seeking leases
for term of years from landown-
ers with view of beginning bor-
ings soon to determine the quantity
of oil which they believe is under
the surface of the properties, fol-
lowing several weeks of investigat-
ing soil conditions.
Farmers Share Profit
1t is said that the contract stip-
ulates that if oil is found on any
one of the farms, all landowners in
volved are to share equally in the
revenue from the oil. The project
lis being watched with keen interest
not only by the landowners involv-
ed, but by other landowners in the
vicinity. The search for oil on the
Delmarva Peninsula is not new to
the resident of the three-state
area. Less than half a century
ago shaft was sunk in Wicomico
County, just below the Delaware
line which yielded a low form of
Illuminating gas. An effort was
made to commercialize the project
but it was doomed to eventual fail
ure.
Behring'S Down State
Several years ago there were
borings in the Bridgeville and also
the Milford area. In each instance
a low form of oil or gas has been
produced but not of sufficient quail
ity apparently to warrant develop
ment.
