Growing Puins

That an oil boom has its draw
backs as well as It's compensations
is revealed by the following item,
from the current issue of the
Winnett Times:
THE housing situation in Winnett
at the present time is extremely
critical, and until relief Is provided
the situation will become progress
lively worse. Hotels, and other fa-
cilities are crowded to the point of
being detrimental to health and
safety.
Efforts are being made to relieve
the situation through federal hous.
ing, however such housing If avail
able at all, may be month or more
before it Is available.
Right now further oil explora-
ton work in Petroleum county is
being seriously hampered due to
the lack of adequate housing and
eating facilities. With the coming
of spring and increased activity In
oil exploration work the problem

RutfIesnuke
Butte Test

WINNETT--Ike Taylor's rotary
rig started drilling Tuesday on the
Rattlesnake Butte wildcat, IS miles
southwest Of the revived Mosby
dome In the Cat Creek field.
The rotary was moved in to COM
plete hole drilled to 1890 feet with
cable tools. Top of the first Cat
Creek sand is expected at $500 and
top of the second Cat Creek at 2720.
This is very unusual test In that

abandoned in 1912 when funds gave

down to the Quadrant sands
found on the dome at around
$500 feet.
1.-The dome was drilled in 1923
with cable tools. The INDICATE
well was drilled to $500 feet
when it struck an 80,000-barrel-
a-day water flow. The hole was
plugged. The Walker well was
drilled to $50 feet and plugged
back to the third Cat Creek sand
and it since that time has pro-
duced good flow of water"

The Times says announce
ment of the drilling plans has
been made by e. j. Skibby,
prominent Petroleum county
stockman, who has indicated
rotary tools will be used. Skibby
owns most of the acreage on the
structure. Continuing, the
Times article says:
"Skibby has granted leases
for the entire structure to one
concern, and said that the Ellis

Not only on the northwest IRON
tier but in the established gold
producing camps of Ontario and
Quebec, thousands of men and mil
lions of dollars are bringing new
life to a complex business that,
prior to a partial shutdown caused
by the exigencies of war, had made
the Dominion one of the worlds
greatest sources of mineral wealth"
Carroll writes. Between now and
next summer the boom is slated
to receive such impetus that it will
set new high in Canadian history"
The strike that touched off the
current boom was made in 1914 by
DR.. A. S. Dadson, a geologist who
uses science in his hunt for under
ground treasure. Despite negative
reports of other biologists, Dadson
reasoned that there must be gold
somewhere near West Bay Fault,
mighty geologic break in the earth's
surface that runs due north from
Yellowknife Bay.
From the very first test hole
put down with a diamond drill,
Dadson's deductions clicked" Car
roll SAYS. "Feverish activity came to

knife Mine) stock rose from forty
cents to eleven dollars. Stocks of
properties throughout the district
also went soaring
But a stock boom does not mean
gold production. The Yellowknife
boom, despite its fame and motor
iety, has been confined chiefly to
prospecting and drilling. Promoters
who still have TO prove that they
own worthwhile property offer
fifteen dollars day to lure workers
northward."
Transportation is the No. / prob
lem of Yellowknife, where the cost
TO bring in supplies ranges from
$50 to $500 a ton, Carol says
Until roads and railways are built
northward at federal expense, there
by cutting transportation costs,
Yellowknife has little chance to
grow at the rate its potential wealth
appears to warrant Once heavy ma
chinery and building supplies can
be freighted in at economical rates,
Yellowknife camp seems destined TO
boom. All it lacks now is the equip
ment, plus cheap hydro power from
local sites, to project the kind of
mining empire that has flourished
in eastern Canada for the last forty
years.
1.-THE men in this older, estab-
Hshed mining region eastern Can
ada) talk not of old times, but of
the future of a gold belt that has,
SO far, been only 10 percent ex-
plored They cite new methods of
prospecting, based on geophysical
devices; they describe new produc-
ton techniques, they relate stories
of new discoveries in Ontario and
Quebec But of one thing ex-
perienced mining men are certain.
Over any protracted period, fortune
smiles on only those companies
which have enough money to pay
for the test drilling and hard work
that must be done before mine
is made
For those specializing folk who
run a fever at the sound of the
word gold, Carroll offers this adj
vice from Canadian worker:
There's an all-important fact for
stock buyers to remember: the ex
ploration phase of Canadian gold
mining never was, and never will
be, an invitation to investment II
you want to buy Canadian gold
shares, all right But my advice is
never to invest any money that
can't honestly be described as ven

a Negro on the board of education.
Mayor O'Dwyer said one would be

Hall honoring another former
member of the school board.
There is only one thing that has
been omitted" the mayor said;
there is no Negro on the board
of education. A Negro has been
named to the board of higher edu-
cation, but we haven't had an op-
portunity to make such an appoint
ment to the board of education.
This must be done at the earliest
possible moment, in the interests
of fair play"

NEGRO INSURANCE
REACHES ALL time HIGH

NEW YORK, June 27 (ANP)
AS members Of the National Ne
gro Insurance association, compris-
ing Al Negro insurance companies
scattered throughout the country,
gather for their 25th annual meet
ing here July 1912, they will hear
a report which will show their
combined assets as being a shade
less than $7O,OOO,OOO. They have
insurance in force amounting to
S723, ,225,311 covering 3,94O,7O4
policies. They have enjoyed
steady growth which appears to
be accelerating constantly as the
member organizations move higher
and higher into the realm of big
business.
A prevue of the report to be
presented by Mrs. Mamie Kicker
son Morris, statistician for the as
sociation, reveals that the Al com.
panies require the services of TO-
338 employees. Of these 1924 COM
prise agents, managers, supervis-
ors and medical examiners. Home
office forces amounting to 1,414
make up the balance.
Other interesting data gathered
by Mrs. Morris showed that the
average ordinary policy issued by
the various companies ranged from
S436 to $1,000, while the average
Industrial policy varied from sol
to $500. Industrial debts among
the companies ranged from $697
to S51 ,228 while health and ac-
cident debts ranged from $3O3.23
to $64,184.
In 1915 the member companies
purchased government bonds total
ling S13,787,393. The total bonds
of all types purchased equaled $685.
493,831. Payments to policy hold
ers and beneficiaries during 1915
totaled $8,796, ,422, an increase of
81 ,256,97O over 1914. Charles w.
Greene of Atlanta is president of
the association and A. P. Bentley

Army Will Renter Bodies

WASHINGTON, (P)-The army made it clear today that it will re- 3ume its long established" policy of reinterring, in the nearest na- .Onal cemetery, bodies now buried in abandoned military posts.
 Resumption of the policy, sus- ended by the war department several months ago after protests y Reps. Kilburn CR. N.Y0 and Fuller R. N. YD was announced in a letter to Kilburn by Maj. Gen. T. B. Layllin, the army's quarter master general.
 The New Workers had urged hat the bodies, including those of many historical perSonageS, be permitted to remain in the post cemeteries, and that they be made national monuments" or nation al historic sites" under the interior department.
 NeXt-of-kin or descendants have the choice, however, of determin-
 ' if the body of their relative or ancestor be inferred in a national cemetery or a burial ground of .h0i' own choice.
 The war departments memorial division said cemeteries at 20 mil itary posts are included in the re- internment program. They in clude: Chilkoot barracks, Alaska.

Germans Used Plastic For Filling Teeth

Headquarters Alaskan Depart ment-A plastic substance, used by American dentists only as base for dentures and for crowns and inlays, was successfully ut;l- ized by Germans as a permanent filling for cavities during the war. Major General Norman T. Kirk, the Surgeon General, reported to- day. A study made by an officer of the Surgeon Generals office of German dental practices since the start of the war found little else of value to the dental profession in the United States.
 Stainless steel was widely used as substitute for the superior but scarce gold and silver. No new plastics were found, although some known to the American den- tai profession were put to novel uses.
 Acrylic resin, a material widely used in the United States as a base for false teeth, was developed by the Germans as a permanent filling for use in a quickly hard ening plastic state in prepared cavities.
 Development of this material was halted in Germany by de- struction of the factory in 1943, but it already had been used ex- perimentally at that time. Filings inserted in l943 were found in ex- cellent condition in 1945.

Transport Plane Missing In
 Washington .

SEATTLE, (P)-The navy alert ed forest rangers, state patrol and all of western Washington today in search of Marine corps trans port plane missing with 32 men since 4:l3 pm. yesterday.
 The search was handicapped by thick weather and the dark color of the plane which made visibility from the air doubly difficult.
 The twin-engined R5C Curtis Commando was one of six which left San Diego, Calif., at 10:36 a. m., yesterday on a nonstop flight to transfer a Marine corps contin- gent to Seattle. They encountered bad weather in Oregon and south west Washington. Four landed at Portland. One made it safely to Sand Point naval air station.
 The missing plane last was con tacted when the pilot wirelessed the Toledo range station, few miles south of Chehalis, and was cleared to next communicate with the powerful Civil AeronauticS Administration station at Everett, said Comdr. P. D. Duke, Sand Point operations officer.
 The Toledo range station report ed it cleared the plane to fly high CT, due to icing conditions it was encountering at 5000 feet.
 Thereafter it was silent despite frantic efforts of navy, army, and CAA radio stations, Commander Duke added.
 The plane was expected here at 5:06 pm. When it finally became apparent the ship could be listed as missing" rather than merely overdue the navy appealed to newspapers, news service and ra- dio stations to ask clues from the public.
 Duke said the plane had fuel sufficient to keep her in the air some Az hours beyond her sched- uled arrival time.
 The navy public relations office at San Diego said the missing transport carried a crew of three and 28 privates and a sergeant military policeman as passengers. The men had seabags and full back packs. Their names were not divulged.

Ickes Wanted That Vacation
Anchorage Daily Times)

Anchorage Daily Tmes)
 The trouble which Harold Ickes is having with ICCASP, the Independent Citizens Committee of the Arts Sciences and Professions, of which he is the $250OOayear chairman, is not entirely high left wing policy matters.
 Last Ickes wanted to take long vacation, at full pay His executive committee objected to shellino out $2000 month for work Ickes didn't get the paid vacation. That started the trouble.
 Then Ickes made the ICCASP and PAC leaders angry at the convention of liberals in Chicago by speech in which he expressed foreign policy views at variance with the principles of both organizations On top of that the fuss which Ickes has kicked by his opposition to Henry Wallace and his support of Der nard Baruch on the atomic energy question.
 But all this high-evel smoke is merely cloud behind which is hidden the more fundamental and personal issue of vacation with pay.

A Joint Message
 To Wallace And Stalin.
(The Denver POSt)

(The Denver POSt)
 Secretary Byrnes has given the world clear and strong statement of American foreign policy.
 He has written in large letters that the United States pledge cooperation with other nations"-veto or no veto-to defend, with force if necessary, the principles and purposes of the charter of the United Natons.
 The Secretary's address summarizing the Paris con- ference powerful affirmation that this country gives than lip service the world peace organiza ton, and at the same time it unmisakable an to those at home and abroad who have falsely n terpreted our purposes
 Particularly, among these latter Mr. Byrnes ad- dress reply to Henry Wallace, who, mistily prattlng of Hove and confidence trust and oy laid before the world utterly brutal proposal to permit the ensave ment of half of Europe the price of peace which, by that very act, could not endure.
 There WOrded reference to Henry Wallace but it transparent that much of the secretarys sage was aimed directly at the WallaceP A. c. clique of critics It was for instance, in obvious reference to Wallace that he said:
 (" In following those policies have been crit cized at times for being too soft and at times for being too tough. dislike both words. Neither accurately de- scribes our earnest efforts to be patient but firm We will continue to seek friendship with the Soviet Union and all other states the basis of justice and the rgh of others well ourselves, to opinions and ways of life which do not and cannot share. But must tain perspective We must guard against the belief that deeprooted suspicious can be dspelled and far reaching differences be reconciled by any single act of faith ."
 That, indeed the key to Secretary Byrnes' mes sage We will not interfere with Russia in her pre- cncts but will resist her efforts to impose her way of life by force deception upon unwilling world We do not want war and will go to the greatest lengths to avoid it. But there fundamentals of hu
