OF CENTENNIAL
PLAQUE TO CURRY'S SONS co.
TO TAKE PLACE HERE FRIDAY

Harold Colee, executive vice
president of the Florida State
Chamber of Commerce, arrived
this morning for the purpose of
presenting centennial plaque to-
morrow to William Curry Sons,
which has been in business con-
tinuouSly since 1843.
Mr.. Colee said this morning
that William Curry Sons is one
of the only three business institu-
tionS in the state that have been
operating continuously for more
than 100 years. The other two are
in st. Petersburg and Tallahassee.
He remarked that it appeared to
be peculiar that his own city, st.
Augustine, the oldest city in the
state, has not a firm that has been
in business 100 years continuously.
The Key West Chamber of
Commerce has arranged an inter-

Key WeSterS, and knew many OF

"A social era is just closing be-

We have won the war. The
problems of peace are not solved
by guns, but they arc battle situa-
tons noncthclcSS.
Let me say that it is my belief
that we can keep the peace only
by working as diligently for its
behalf as VIC worked TO win the
war. Life is not static. Man is a
busy body. Political and economic
leadership will need your closer
attention in the future, if man is
going to stay out of trouble. We

is expected that the Allied
occupation of Japan will
greatly change the outlook of
the Japanese generally re-

had nothing to do.
1t may also convince the
more intelligent Japanese
that their teaching for gen.
erations that their emperor
was a descendent of the sun
god, and that he was invinc-
ible, was nothing but a myth.
During the occupation, the
Japanese people will be CIV

never had before. Students
and professors among the
Jap civilians, who have had
a leaning toward liberalism
but have been kept in check
by the imperial government,
will be accorded the privil-
ege to express freely their
theories of government,
which lean toward the dem
ocratic form.

Florida as it is the people of New
York, the people of Nebraska. We
select by secret ballot the men
whom we want to govern us. We
must continue TO select forccful
public servants if we want do
nestle and world peace.
Our hearts and our eyes must
be quick in detecting the flaws
which develop in our national
thinking, especially when COM
merce begins TO flow freely and
when men, with cash in their
pockets begin to regard all trad
ing and its social implications as
being moral.
Florida today faces problems
of momcntouS preparations in
mcshing the gears of its economy

and economic, and might | not say

great expansion of peace time

These arc the factors which will

soldiers gained grip, the issue
no longer was in doubt.
Sea-Air Mastery Essential
Many factors contributed TO the
success of these island drives.
Guadalcanal's drawn-out cam
paign proved the need for COM
plete sea and air mastery around
the battle area. In succeeding OPP
erations carrier airmen immobil-
lied enemy airfields and virtually
cleared the skies before ground
troops raced in. Warship support
was intensified, slashing enemy
attempts to get achievements. n,
Tarawa taught the need OF unrl
relenting bombardment In ad.
vance of landings. Thereafter
Jaranese-held islands were bat
tered to an extent never before
possible in naval warfare.
The problem of co-ordinating
all the air, sea and land factors
involved in an operation was solv-
cd with stop watch precision.
Some $500 ships were assigned TO
the Okinawa invasion, for exam
ple-some coming from Gusdsl-
canal, some coming from Leytc.
some from the Marianas, some
even from the west coast. Despite
great differences is speeds and
distances, they got TO their assign
ed places at the proper moment.
Fleet trains the almost i'm
icredible armada of supply ships,
floating docks and maintenance

BY JOHN L. SPRINGER

One phraSe-unknoWn to most
Americans at the time of Pearl
Hsrbor sums up the story of
victory in the Pacific.
The phrase is "amphibious OPP
erations." 1t means the ability tn
send troops against strongly forti-
fled coasts and wreSt them from
the enemy. 1t means the combin-
ing of sea, land and air power in
a precise coordination never be-
fore seen in war. IS
Although history books can cite
many previo@ landings in enemy
territory, never were there SC
many in such short time as in
the U. S. sweep across the Pacific
And never were invasions sue
cessfully carried out against such
firmly defended areas.
Started At Guadalcanai
Americas first amphibious
landing was made at Guadalcanal
in August 1912. The technique
was developed along the New
Guinea coast, at Tarawa and the
Marshalls, in the Marianas, the
Philippines, Two Jima, Okinawa
and some sixty other places along
the 6,Oo0-mile path from Hawaii
to the Japanese mainland. To the
lessons learned in island hopping
were added the techniques prov
cd at North Africa, Sicily, Anzio
and the Normandy beachhead.
The series, of Pacific invasions
was necessary to establish adj
vance bases along the route to
Tokyo. The MarshalIs and Guam
became great naval stations; Sal
Fan, Two and Okinawa provided
airflelds for the bombing of Jap
an; the Philippises gave the land

Other bases were taken to remove
potential thorns in the u. S. sup
ply lines. . -, -.
Followed A Pattern

lowed u pattern that even the
Japanese came to understand per
fcCtly.
The enemy learned to worry
about invasion when planes from
Americas vast carrier armada be-
gan appearing regularly, bomb
ing airfieldS and military installa-
lions and sealing off possible bat
tie areas. Then the mighty guns
of battleshipS and cruisers took
over, pouring tons of shells onto
enemy strongpointS while LCIS
pounded away with rockets.
When the target was soft landing
craft began darting toward the
beach, Often the pre-invasion
bombardment was so intense the
invaders were we'll dug into the

japanese answered back. But
sometimes-as on Two Jima-the
bombardment continued for days

Once the beach was cleared

tanks, heavy guns and thousands
of other pieces of equipment
needed for the inland push. Air

WYOMING 0NTANA OIL
FIELD PRICES POSTED

The Ohio Oil Co. and Stanolind
Oil & Gas Co. have posted prices
for crude oil in the Elk Basin field,
Wyoming and Montana, and the
Frontier and Grass Creek (light)
fields, Wyoming, as follows: For
40 gravity and above, SIPS per bar
rel, with 2 cents differential for
lower-gravity crudes to 21' gravity,
IS cents Ohio Oil makes the same
prices applicable for the Rock
Creek field, Wyoming. Stanolind
will pay 65 cents a barrel for Grass
Creek heavy oil. All prices are now
effective.
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1945-07-07

The discovery well, first to get
oil in the Devonian in the southern
Alberta plains, is now flowing more
than 100 barrels daily, under heavy
back pressure.
The company's second Devonian
producer in this field, 68 feet in the
Devonian dolomite at total depth of
3977 feet, is reported flowing more
than 100 barrels daily through
14/64-inch choke, and about half
mile from the storage tanks.
Losing no time, California STAN
dard is now planning on keeping
two rigs busy in the field. Location
has been made for one well three
quarters of a mile east of the dis
covery well, and another, midway
between the fields two producers,
has made hole past $500 feet. with
the prospect it will test the pay
horizon within the next 10 days.
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1945-07-07


cations this will be a twin to Turner
Valley. A second well in the field is
now drilling at past 5000 feet.
Altogether, on the Alberta
side of the line, more than a
dozen wells are now making
hole, with drillers having three
possible pay horizons as OBJ
iectives.
These are the Madison lime,
the pay horizon in the Turner
Valley and Jumping Pound
fields; the DevOnian, productive
in the Princess field 12O miles
north of the Montana line and
also productive at Moose Dome,
and the Cambrian, productive
in Alberta only at Ram River.
Aside from the tremendous sums
that have been expended in leas-
ing, the oil search along the noun
tain front is tremendously expen-
sive because of the jumbled condi-
ton of the rock masses. This condi-
ton is such as to cast doubt upon
the value of surface geological
studies, with the result practically
all drilling in the area is now being
undertaken only following extern
sive seismograph surveys.
On the Montana side of the line,
both General Petroleum and the
Carter-Phillips combination have
spent more than year in prelim-
mary geological and seismic sur
veys. Both are expected to begin
drilling this year.

It Does Not Add Up....

The army and the navy and various governmental
brass hats continue to stress the need for intensified drill
ing programs to assure an ample supply of oil.
And while all this is going another federal agency
continues to insist that the price of crude oil be held
level commensurate with pre-war drilling and producing
costs
1t is picture that does make sense as far the
Independent producer is concerned.
There is another phase that is quite interesting and
is also of vital Importance to the independent producer
of crude oil
That phase is the continued bureaucratic determine
ton to stop all wildcat drilling federal lands
Since the began, only three wildcats in Montana
have been drilled government lands The reason is
simple Those in charge of federal lands have included
such rigorous penalties and such stringent regulations in
the federal leases that the small operator afraid to drill
The bureaucrats will argue that it is their intention
to stop validating federal lands But matter how
much they argue it is significant that they have done it.
And done very neatly right at the time the need for
oil fields is acute than at any previous time in the
nations history.
In Washington, D. c.. the right hand certainly does
to know what the left hand is doing.
