More Action
Slated, Cat
Greek Region

Much additional activity is in
prospect In the West Cat Creek
area in Petroleum county, ac-
cording 10 the Winnett Times,
which says:
Dave Schrock of Corvallis, Ore,
returned to Winnett last Saturday.
His associate and production man.
ager, Burl R Gamer, win arrive
within the next 10 days or two
weeks to start operation on their
properties in the West Cat Creek
field.
"Schrock and Gamer drilled a
well on the Nels F'radd land in Cat
Creek last fall, finding what was
believed to be a 50-barrel producer
in the second Cat Creek sand at
1890 feet Production was found
after drilling through 15-foot shale
break and a sand producing a heavy
flow of artesian water A faulty ce-
ment job failed to shut off the water
flow and a bad cave-in resulted
necessitating shutdown.
"Schrock and Gamer have a COM
plete rotary drilling rig in the Cat
Creek field and Schrock now has
a crew busy dismantling the large
standard tool rig on Rattlesnake
Butte southeast of Winnett which
he says will be moved to Cat Creek.
This will give the Schrock-Gainer
interests both standard and rotary
equipment to carry on the drilling
and development of their Cat Creek
leases.
Locations have already been
spotted for the drilling of three
wells in the field this summer.

Market Outlook Bright =.

Conviction is growing that will be long time before
there apprecabe decrease in the demand petroe

increasing aloments holders of and cards. Enor-
amounts of fuel oil will be needed shipping men
and supplies back from Europe and for towering the ships
carrying material for the offensive against Japan This
will persist for long time after the final victory.
And when that victory DOES come civilians will prob
ably consume gasoline in huge amounts making up for
lost time Matching this market for gasoline will be
pensatng market that will take of the residues
highway repair and construction program likely to
exceed all previous records
The only fly in the ointment is persistent refusal of
those in power to admit that producers of crude oil
entitled to receive for their product sufficient to
repay them for the cost of replacing that product.
There have been some significant cabinet changes in
Washington.
These may herald REAL deal-one that takes
into account the fact that who risk their capital
produce the vitality needed snews of entitled
fair return just is the who works with his hands
1t will not be surprising if the independent producer of
crude oil-the who sells his oil a material
finally obtains recognition Otherwise he vanishes from the
picture and that would be very unhealthy situation for
the industry a whole.

Since then there hove been other similar surveys,
with similarly discouroene results.
American educators obviously ore chiefly to
blame for q general level Of ignorance thot op-
brooches the ludrcrous But they seem to have been
snoulorly unnpressed, and unwilling for the most
port TO take steps to correct the situation.
Now OF lost one school has done something about

We hope that the University Of Maryland hos
started something. Too many Americans have gone
through life knowing nothing more Of their countys
history than what they gained from sugar coated,
Porson Weenos- ish grammar school instruction, or
brief over.simplified high school courses.
Too many Americans fighting and dying to-
day without knowing, fundamentally, what they ore
fighting and dying for. Too many ore extolling or
crcizine our democratic government without know
ing the duties, obligations or even the identity OF
their congressman ond senators. Too many Arner-
con minds poisoned by bigotry and norrowness
that education cure.
1t is time that all educators give thought, os
these Maryland educators already have DONE to
their leading part in preparing young Americans for
intelligent American and world citizenship.

is winning the sympathy of all
progressive sections of freedom
loving nations.
mo observer who is at all i'm

ues, "can fail to be amazed at
the speed and efficiency with
which the newly resurrected
Polish state is handling the ex-
ceedingly difficult problems"
He itemizes, IAN overwhelm-
ing majority of the industrial
plants have been reopened. :.
Today industry is employing
over so per cent of the pre-war
number of workers. Immense
work has been done to rehabil-
itate the railways" and so on.
Then comes the caution:
The government. as you
know" writes Rudnitsky, took
over large-scale industry, but it
was also obliged to extend its
administration to a vast number
of medium and small enterpris-
es, owing TO the absence Of their
owners"
Where these owners are, the
author doesn't say, but he does
explain the philosophy of this
appropriation in most revealing
terms:
From the very first" he says,
"the provisional government has
declared that private initiative
and private capital would be al
lowed and encouraged in med
ium and small industry. These
medium and small plants are
now being turned over to their
lawful owners, or if the latter
are not available, TO the produc-
ers' cooperative societies, or else
leased to private individuals"

WASHINGTON - Since So.
Wet Russia won't permit Amer
lean newspapermen TO 60 into
Poland, the only two sources
of information from that black
ed-out spot on the map are first
what news the London Warsaw
government un foreground is
able TO smuggle out of the coun-
try, and second, what the Mos
cowLublin government choos-
es to pass out.
The critical and cynical E S,
newspaper reader, who has a
pretty good batting average in
judging the curves on all such
pitches, will be pardoned if he
uses his fishy eye and lets most
of these offerings go by as high,
wide and outside. But every
once in a while the propaganda
pitchers accidentally deliver a
fast one right over the plate
and you can swing at it.
Definitely in this groove is o
piece called "R $ urgent Po-

est issue Of the Information
Bulletin of the Embassy of
USSR."
This handy little eight-page
pamphlet comes out three times
a week under the imprint Of
Russias Washington embassy,
and is therefore the official last
word on what Moscow thinks
you should know and wants you
to believe about its affairs.
The piece in question, by one
