Phil Holman, Imperial county

April II, he said Wednesday.
He has accepted a situation with
the California Veterans Welfare
board and has instructions 10 re-
port at San Francisco for assign

will leave Imperial county as soon
as his resignation becomes effec-
tive
During his years as Imperial
county welfare director, Holman
also has officiated as veterans serv-
ice officer for the county. The
duties in this office have accumu-
lated rapidly since World War No.

that the county board of supervisors
create a separate office to handle
the veterans welfare work as the
duties continue to increase and
should have full time attention.
Holman has lived in Imperial
county since 1921 and tas taken an
active part in American Legion and

Oil ak Flares
Anew in County

Imperial county is the center of
oil speculation, prospecting, and
drilling since the war; time oil short
age sent the major companies scury-
rying over the nation in search of
nsW supplies.
Records in the county recorders
office reveal that one major COM
pany has acquired around 4,C0O
acres. Some of this property lies
in the northwest part of the coun-
y and it is said the companies
have taken land in San Diego and
Riverside counties to connect up
with the land in Imperial county.
STUDY MAPS, RECORDS
Different groups have appeared
in the office of the assessor
spent days checking records and
spent dgays checking records and
maps. They do little talking about
what they are doing but aren't
averse to showing interest in oil
County officials pointed out that
there may be property held for the
companies by individuals, making
it difficult to tell just how much
the companies have leased.
This week there were reports that
one company. drilling in the vicinity
OF Truckhaven, desert wayside sta
ton on highway No. 80, had struck

and it was said carton dioxide gas

has been shipped from Imperial
county for several years.
ACTIONS YELLED
Secrecy surrounds activities of
the companies which have obtained
permission to put down test wells
in the county. These companies
have sent surveying crews, geolo-
gistS and crews of workmen to sink
the test holes. Some of these crews
stayed only a short time while 9TH
ers planned to spend months COM
pleting their tests.
Part of the property eyed by the
oil companies belongs to the schools
OF California, some to the Southern
Pacific, some to holding companies
some to the government, and some
to individuals.
There are those who contend
there is a large supply of oil under
lying Imperial county. Others con-
tend that the supply would not war;
rant expenditure of much money
With the war causing an oil short
age, however, there may be suffi-
clent reason to tap what there is
even though the supply may be
small

ers to get into the forefront of
the new development and not let
spectators get the cream. In his
opinion the valley will play a lead
ing part in the alcohol industry.
Osborne said he visualized an al
cohol plant in the valley which
would absorb certain crops produc-
&c on the farms. Arrangements
would be made to ship the alcohol
to a Los Angeles factory for the
manufacture of synthetic rubber,
he said.
REGULAR OUTLET
The fresh and dehydrated mar
kets still will be supplied with what
they will take" Osborne declared
only the surplus would be con-
verted into alcohol. BY the time the
war is over there is no predicting
just how far the use of alcohol in
synthetic products will have gone y
Osborne said he favored a plan
for sending Billy knights, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Knights, to
Lincoln, Nebraska, to stucy with
DR.. Leo Christianson, leader in the
movement to use agricultural prod
uctS in industry, so that the farm
ers of the valley can get accurate
information about latest develop
mentS from man who will have
the interests of the valley at heart.
Young Knights was graduated from
Occidental college last February. He
majored there in chemistry. His
minor was electricity. Details of
this plan, however, have yet to be
worked out. e

retained after recovery while others
woulc be discharged when their

The land occupied by the camp
