Winter lube problem licked

No winter layoffs these days. Now, wheth- CT you're sweeping drifts from airstrips, or trucking supplies over winter-locked roads, you can't afford cold-weather delays. To keep trucks, tractors and other equipment rolling despite frigid temperatures, Standard of Cali fornia has developed two brand-new, cold weather lubricants:

 The first needs no elucidatiou and there certainly shouldn't be any wholesale condemnation of em- ployers who are motivated by the second. Many merely are trying to share something with their em- plOyes.

are engaged today.
The officer has a special interest
in North Carolina history because
his ancestors were citizens during
the early days of the state. His
great grandfather for w h o m he
was named, was the Rev. Adam
Empie, rector of St. James Epis-
copal church at Wilmington and
an organizer of the Diocese Of
North Carolina. Later he built a
church at Richmond, naming it for
the church in Wilmington. He mar
ried the daughter of Judge Joshua
Wright of Wilmington, founder Of
Wrightsville Beach. Descendants Of
the family are still living in Will
mington and other Carolina COM
munities.
It was Colonel Potts d e to
build birdhouses on the Camp Da-

lina's historic structures, to EN-.
phasize graphically the states ar

Among these are Tryon's Palace,

pursuit Of his military duties hv
gaining an understanding of 10

it to use for the orientation o.

were arranged for his soldiers and
their wives.

BY GERTRUDE CARRAWAY

NEW BERN. Sept. 16. - North
Carolina will lose one of its best
military friends when Col. Adam
E. Potts, USA, is transferred soon
to another command from Camp
Davis, where he has served as
commanding officer since July,
1912, soon after its establishment
as a Coast Artillery Anthircraft
center.
An outstanding officer with dis
tinguished service in the army for
30 years in many parts of the
world, he has always felt it duty
and privilege to promote bonds OF
understanding between the military
personnel and their civilian neigh
bors.
Instead of being disappointed at
the tame" assignment of being
named commandant at the W
camp on the Carolina coast fol-
lowing a much NOR e dangerous
war job in command of troops in
Hawaii after the japanese attack
on Pearl Harbor, ne made the
most of this task and recognized
it as a real opportunity for Sc.
vice not only to the Camp Davis
soldiers but also to the North Caro-
lima residents.
When he first arrived at Camr
Davis, all he had heard about il
was that it was nothing but mud
and mosquitoes. Since then tholl-
sands of dollars have been spent
in correcting this condition, and the
camp came to be regarded as the
most complete antiaircraft p o t
anywhere in America, with mill
tary history of note recorded there
during: World War II.
A Virginian by birth though a
Carolinian by heritage, Colonel
Potts knew little North Carolina
history two years ago. Now he Is
considered an authority on the sub
ject. Principally military leader,
he sees the military aspects Of
every locality in which he is sta
toned and also takes a keen in
terest in its historical lore
1T always makes a place more
interesting. to know it's history +"
the colonel explains He stressed
this to all the men under his COM
mand at Camp Davis, just as he
has in his other assignments in
the far-flung corners of the world
"At first learn the history from
the viewpoint of the people of that
region, that is, the history of which
they are proud. The best place to
) lind this history is in the books
studied by their children in school
History makes any section inter.

Colonel Potts points out that in
the present crisis we are fighting
for causes fundamentally the same
as those for which we fought in
the American Revolution and that

Location of the test is on the
Yeager ranch, in Sc SW Sc 21-24N-
CIV. Elevation of the well site is
1916 feet. Plans call for the landing
of a string of 1875 inch string of
surface pipe at 300 feet, with 9B
hole to be drilled with rotary tools
to bottom
The well is regarded as being
well-located to throw light on De-
vonian possibilities in a wide belt
along the disturbed area at the
east face of the Rocky noun
tains. The Devonian, where exposed
in the mountains only relatively
short distance west of the Union
wildcat, is distinctively petrolifer-
Gus, with the source beds found
adjacent to good reservoir rocks.
Wells drilled near the crest of
the Sweetgrass Arch have failed to
find source beds or reservoir rocks
comparable to those revealed in the
mountain outcrops
The Union well is about Is miles
west of the crest of the arch, rough
~ half way between the crest and
the disturbed belt at the eastern
edge of the Rockies. Location of
the well was made following seis-
mograph survey that showed the
Madison limestone high" of the
area to be about four miles east of
the crest of the structure as indi-
Gated by surface exposures. Should
the Union wildcat find oil, it win
throw doubt on the worth of any
surface indications in wide belt
along the east face of the Rockies,
in band extending for about 100
miles southeasterly from Glacier
Park to a point west of Great Falls.

Huge acreage blocks continue to
be taken in the area between this
well and the Princess field, 120
miles north of Montana's Sweet

of California recently completed a

Well Boosts
Field Output

Output of the Dry Creek field
in southern Montana has been
more than doubled by the drill
ing of one well, the Ohio Oil
Company's deep test which was
drilled to 1882 and plugged back
to the Morrison sand, from
which more than 800 barrels
daily of 5e-gravity oil is being
pumped. Production is coming
through perforations from 5905
to 5945. Other Ohio wells in the
field are producing from Dakota
Lakota sands, above the Morri-
son. Before the opening of
Morrison production, the field
was averaging from 275 to 200
barrels daily. Since the Morri-
son producer was put on the
pump, field output has scared,
last week averaging 619 barrels
daily.

Utah Ruling May Have Bearing
On State Move to Tax Oil Subsidy

If recent federal court decisions
in Utah have any bearing on the
matter, Montana oil producers seem
to have sound backing in their
battle to prevent imposition of
state production tax on the per-
barrel bonus payments recently al
lowed by the government, in lieu of
a normal and needed price increase.
Many producers are paying the
