Magic In Oil

Deputy Petroleum Administrator Ralph K. Davies, reveals that the United States petroleum industry plans to spend more than 1852, 100000 on domestic and for eign refining facilities as soon as mater ialS become available. It was announced further that the figure does not include rebuilding or rehabilitation of facilities in areas now occupied by the enemy.
 No country in the world has even re- motely approached the performance of the United States in oil production. Both world wars have been fueled by the Amer ican oil industry. American oil men nave been called upon to help other nations in the development of their oil resources. American oil companies and American oil holdings are scattered throughout the world. During World War II our oil companies have done more than merely get out oil. They have turned it into fuel for planes SO powerful as to smack of sheer magic.
 After the war they will continue to do far more than merely get oil out of the ground. Some inkling of what they ex- pect to do can be gained from their ex- pressed intention to spend over $500 OOO,- 900. That money is to go into facilities to create more magic from oil. It VIII help to make possible smoother running, more economical cars. It will help to make productive jobs for men who VIII be conscious of real accomplishment III their work.
 The plan of the oil industry to enlarge it's activities as soon as possible IS true to a greater or lesser degree of every oaSlc industry in the land mining, trans portation, and power. After all IS sald ana done, the future of the country rests to a large extent upon the progresslvenesS of these industries. And one thing IS cet- tain, as long as they remain as compeE- tive enterprises, they will be progressive.

struck the right note. Even though there is no original document, all 26 nations at war with the Axis subse- quently subscribed to ''the joint declar- ation known as the Atlantic Char ter'' in the signed and official Declara- tion of the United Nations. So it is idle to assume that since no original" Char ter ever existed, it's principles never existed either. No one argues that the perfection of Lincoln'S Gettysburg Ad- dress is marred because, as the story goes, it's final draft was written in pencil on brown wrapping paper. Preponderant American opinion holds the aims of the Atlantic Charter to be right and just. Whether all the other 25 SignatorieS still hold the same view is another question, a big one, and cause for real concern.

 WEATHER NOTE
 When the House Military Af- fairs committee took of from Washington on its trip to Europe, members had been told they'd fly the northern route to England, with a stop at Newfoundland. So they dressed in their heaviest underwear. A card game started, some of the members began to read and one or two went to sleep.
 Among those who chose sleep was Bolivar Pagan, commissioner for Puerto Rico. Pagan slept through the pilots announcement after the plane had been in the air about half an hour that the plans had been changed, that they would fly the southern route with a Bermuda stop.
 As the plane pulled ill to tropi- cal Bermuda, only a few hundred miles from Pagan's homeland, Pagan awakened and stared to dig out his wraps. He put on a sweater under his suitcoat, muffier, a heavy oyercoat, hat, gloves and spats. Those of his colleagues who noticed. decided to say nothing. They sat by and watched. When the plane landed Pagan, with amazement written on his face, marveled at the mild ness of the mid-winter climate of Newfoundland
 'T never heard of such a thing" he said. "Why, you'd think we were way down sOuth."

disc. The casualty lists are growing, and no one with the slightest sensi- tivity can look at recent news photo graphs showing the mud and the grin1e Of war with any feeling what ever that the end is near
 But the American people can not be found entirely to blame for the false optimism that depleted the ranks of factory workers and cre- ated serious n1anpower shortages in vital war Industries. Those who oc- cupy positions of responsibility should be constantly aware of the Impact their words have on public opinion. For example, when MT. Churchill blithely predicts victory by spring or Easter, or at any other future date, the reasonable suppo- sition is that he knows what he is talking about. Who should have bet ter information than he?, And as for the so-called military analysts, some of them have had the war won a half-dozen times.

NATURAL SCIENCE AT PEACE
 TABLES

(NeW York Herald -Tribures)
 In December bulletin of the New York Geological Society, Fair field Osborn, president of the so- ciety. makes the interesting sug- gesticn that futurep olitical cabi- nets, forums Of world planning and committees of human welfare might well include around their council tables some natural scientists, par ticularly eperts in biology, zoology and geology. The purpose of such scientists would be to offer data on the patterns of social behavior of beasts, birds and even fishes, 50 that man might be aided thereby in his approach to the problems of future wars territorial rights and racial survival.
 : From gorilla to groundhog, from eagle to humming bird, MT. Osborn points out, individual, family and social group disputes occur over ownership or use of territory. There is nothing unnatural, MT Osborn believes, ;n all living things fight ing for the right to live in their own

The Missing Charter

There has been a great to1do over MT. RooSevelt'S admission that there never was an "original' Atlantic Charter, and that consequently nobody ever signed It. Most of this to-do, however, can be traced to senators, reporters and columnlStS who never had much sympathy with the sentiments of the document itself. Their concern developed only when it could become a vehicle for expressing their dislike of the President or their dislike and suspicion of Mr. Churchill and Brit lsh policy. And they have perfect right O speak out with these opinions. But their opinions do not alter the fact that the triumph or defeat of the Atlantic Char ter's sentiments does not depend upon the existence of document printed on parchment or vellum, and duly signed and sealed.
 Perhaps they have been misled by the title The dictionary defines charter as s'an instrument in writing, from the sov- ereign power of state or country, exc cuted in due form granting or guarantee ing rights, franchises or privileges" So the socalled Atlantic Charter isn't a charter.

AS A MATTER OF FACT

It's a lot of trouble to bundle up old newspapers and save old rags. It's bother some to have to remember to pour waste kitchen fats into container. It's easy just to toss away tin cans and forget them. It's also a lot of trouble to fight war. But Japs and Germans must be shot, and to do that job our fighting men are going to need more and more supplies. A lot of supply lines begin right at home in the kitchen. And most of the things that housewives have been salvaging are needed now as much as ever, some of them more so. Sometimes it is difficult to remember that little bit more war required waste from every American kitchen will get more supplies to the fronts faster, save lives, and end the war a little sooner But it's true. So keep 'em rolling.

Times of Crises

These are indeed times that approXi- mate matching those that "try mans soul" exposing the sunshine statesman, the summer patriot, These are times Of crises. We must match their needs, their demands.
 The dreadful proportions of the offen- Eive on the western front, the cost in American lives, the wounded, the sad ness and sorrow at home-what greater proof must we have?
 But these are times during which we must be level-headed and weigh all fac There must be no frantic alarms, no de- pressing fearful anticipation of things to come, no burdenSome unnecessary Wor- rieS. These negative factors are energy sapping and we will need all our energies to meet the weight of responsibilities to be shouldered by all.
 The latest and most recent of war dl- rectiveS are not merely scarce measures. In some proportion they are intended as such, true, but the fundamentals of each are based on cold facts written, in some instances, in blood.
 These include the manpower dlrectlveS, the Step-up of production, the warnings as to robot bombs, and others They are realities based on dire needs.
 To avoid the dread and fears created by a misunderstanding of the intent of some of these most recent dlrectlveS, we should analyze them carefully. For eX- ample, the reports and the subsequent authoritative action relative to material shortages nthe fighting front; these have either been misunderstood or not clearly defined for the truth is according to official sources, there is no actual shortage. What the authorities are Str1v- ing for is a means of building up re- serve of material so as to avoid any chance of unnecessary waste of lives of troops. 1 The manpower directives are concur rent with this plan. It is strictly a means of building preponderant supply of the always necessary material. The danger of robot bombs speaks for itself and only those utterly lacking in imagination or furnished with too much imagination can over or underestimate the dangers ot such an attack.
 These are confusing times, indeed but what crisis isn't confusing?
 We must all give what we can, and still remain of benefit to the general war pro- gram. Think clearly and wisely and as calmly as possible. We are all neceS- Eary in this global war.
 Waterbury is an essential part of the entire effort. Thousands of local men and women are now serving in the armed forces; millions of pieces of vitally needed war materials are being produced here.
 We must all aid in maintaining the eity'S sound record of support.

GRAY BIRCHEs
(New York Times

The gray birch is humble, un- pretentious sort of tree-a poor but worthy cousin of the glamorous white and aldern1anic yellow And like most of the humble service-giv- ing forms of life in nature it s found over an extensive area. Be- tula populifolia doesn't grow very tall. A height of thirty-fiye feet makes it a giant among its kind. A gray birch that is more than eight inches in diameter is conspic- uous among it's peers. But the gray ones are friendly everyday sort of trees. They do rot aspire to the dignity of the massive oaks, the austerity of the smooth-barked beeches or the rugged individualism of the rough parked sugar naples. The grays tuck themselves into the crevices and corners. One finds them in clumps along the stone walls of the upland pasture. in the half-open spaces of the Woodlot, in boulder-studded ravines. Along the back-country roads they mix in casual good-neighborliness with sumac, dogwood and alders. They are especially fond of the light soiled areas on hillsides and moun- tain brows where the pines, hem- locks and hardwoods were numbered of a decade or two ago.
 The grays have many names. In various localities they are called Poverty Birch. Poplar Birch, Paper Birch or Oldfield Birch. In spite of the commonplace names they have charm. The triangular leaves with acurlinate tips and doubly Ser- rate margins, the gracefully slender, pendulous catkins, the grayish- white bark with heavy black mark ings running downward at the branch junctions-all these give the grays a certain long-wearing beau- ty.
 The gray ones minute seeds are scattered far and wide by the winds. It is good that this is so. The countryman likes to chop the grsys for the fireplace. It is easy to work, and one of the few woods that burn without much seasoning. The pulpy stumps make good home sites for the chickadees, and the downies and nuthatches delight to hunt for grubS in the weathered softness. The gray ones are common, but the Marthas of Natures family serve faithfully and well.

This countrys original glamor girl IS not a recent creation. As matter ot fact the one-time all-time glamor girl, so- called, was created by the distinguished American artist, Charles Dana Gibson, who died the other day. He had a long and illuStrious career in art. Beginning with his black and white studies he later did works in oil. The volume of his WorK contained history of the life and man ners of each age through which he lived; His "Gibson Girl" will never be equalled woman has been pretty much glorified bv artists of note. None, however, has had the appeal that the late MT. Gibson's had.
