Crude Oil Processing
EXPLAINED To Lions

About 80 per cent of all of the
crude oil processed by the Standard

into the production of gasoline and
heating oils, but the remainder is
used for the production of hundreds
of other products, Donald C. Stowell,
chief process engineer for the COM

Stowell presented an interesting

Mission Parish To
Be Established
AL Seneca Lake
Will Accommodate
All Vacationeers
During Summer

The contract to construct a
new Catholic church at Seneca
Lake was awarded to Crock &
Schafer, local contractors, last
Wednesday, according to Rev.
John Jackson, pastor of st. Peter
& Paul Catholic church, at Lore
City.
The new church, st. Andrews
on-the-Lake, will be a mission
parish, administered by the pas
tor serving the Lore City church,
located six miles from Seneca
vile.
According to Rev. Jackson,
st. AndreWs-on-the-Lake mis-
sion is being constructed to ac-
commodate the increased num-
Der of vacationeers who find a
rest haven at Seneca lake, locat-
ed in Noble and Guernsey coun-
ties, and only II miles from
Caldwell. The grounds for the
new church was donated to Rt.
Rev. John King Music, bishop
Of Steubenville, by Mr.. and Mrs.
Andrew Ouch of Senecaville.
At the present time services
will be held only during the
summer vacation months. How
ever, Rev. Jackson expressed
some hope that in the near
future, if the apparent growth
of the community continued and
if the membership justified,
services would be held the year
round.
The church will be construct
ed of concrete blocks, with plans
to brick veneer the entire struct-
ure at a later date. According
to Crock & Schafer the corner
stone will be laid Easter Sunday.
Plans indicate that the size of
the new church will be "a feet
wide and approximately 70 feet
long. 1t will have only a partial
basement.
The cost of the new church
will be SOS, 900. 90. 1t is located in
Guernsey county, but only a
short distance from Kennons-
burg, in Noble county.

Mayor Clarifies
Law On Renting
Trailer Space
Villagers Anxious To
Make Available Space
To Coming Pipeliners

AS the result of so many in
quiries being made at the city
hall, in regard to the number
of trailers the law will permit
to locate on a village lot, the
village officials have dug into the
law and have come up with the
facts of the case
For the benefit of the villagers
who wish to rent area space for
trailer use, Mayor Homer John
son stated today that they are
permitted to park two t~railers
without a permit.
But the law goes to this extent
and insists that the owner must
keep a record of the date when
parking was started, the names
of the inhabitants, the state from
which they have bought license
for their trailer, their postoffice
address, and the date when they
leave.
The law provides, however,
that if the owner of the parking
space allows more than two trail
ers to locate on the lot, they
must obtain a permit from the
local health department.
In the event the area is regard
ed a health hazard and the reg
ulations of the board are not
complied with, the department
can refuse to issue the person a
permit. A free of $500 is also
required in case the lot contains
more than two trailers.
Mayor Homer Johnson also
made it clear that the owner of
the trailer is obliged to go to the
auditors office and obtain a
license bearing the Buckeye state
insignia.
Locating trailers has become
quite a problem with the influx
of pipeliners who use trailers as
their place of abode. At the pre-
sent time it is estimated that ap-
proximately 80 trailers have
moved upon the local scene.
Practically every available
space is being utilized to seat a
trailer. The price asked of the
trailer owners varies from $500
to $500 a week for each trailer.

William II. Bender; Soil Scientist,
TO Serve As Instructor In Israel
Former Caldwell
Resident Given
Year Assignment

A request from the new
state of Israel for the services
of William H. Bender, form
erly of Caldwell and employ
ed by the Soil Conservation
Service, u. S. department of
agriculture, Coshocton, was
fulfilled this week when
final authorization was re-
ceived.
According to word received
here, Mr.. and Mrs. Bender
and their two daughters will
leave Saturday, March %, for
Washington, D. c., first stop on
their journey to Israel.
Bender'S career in training
began six years ago when he
left Caldwell to take over the
training work in Lacrosse, Wis.
In 1949. this work was moved to
Coshocton's research station.
Israel'S request was to the food
and agriculture organization of
the United Nations, of which
Israel is a contributing nation.
The action was initiated by
Nathan Gil, who received part
of his soil conservation training
from Bender in Lacrosse, Wis,
in 1947. Since then Gil has been
made chief of the new Israeli
Soil Conservation Service. Be-
cause Bender's work was excep-
tIonal, Gil specifically asked that
Bender fill this position. Bender
said this appeal was more than
he could ignore. He had previ-
ously refused a similar request
in 1850 when Gil visited the
United States and spent several
days with the Benders in the
hope of obtaining his assistance.
All arrangements have been
made by the food and agriculture
organization of the United Ma
tions, Rome, Italy. The assign
ment is for one year, during
which time Bender will act as
training officer for $50 soil con-
servationists and in addition will
assist in setting up a complete
soil and water conservation pro-
gram for all of Israel.

is not expected that the con-
tract for this job will be let
before October of this year.
The proposed change will
mean a distance of 27,504.7 feet
or 5000 miles, according to Resi-
dent Engineer Grover c. Smith.
The relocation will begin at
the end of the concrete highway
near the Wayne Davis home,
with the first proposed curve to

farm and the site of the propoS-
ed out door theatre, owned by
Mrs. Mena Fliehman, across to
the old Worstall farm, bearing
just north of the old brick house.
1t will then follow on the east
side of the Pennsylvania rail-
road to Dudley and pass between
the present Frank Brown store
and the Brown home there. 1t
will continue down that bottom
field to the old brick house
where Martin Harper now lives.
1t then bears to the right and
crosses into the bottom field of
Albert Crock in front of the
present Howard Gill home. The
creek bed will be changed at this
point toward the railroad and
the new Route 81 will follow
down the present creek channel
and join the present route 81 at
the Twin Pine service station.
1t goes straight through past
the Walter H. Brown home,
bearing to the right in the rear
of the Joe Stevens home and
thence to South Olive, where it
will terminate at the service
station there.
In the meantime the division
patching rev is work
ing in Noble county, sealing all
the broken spots on Routes z,

proximately 10000 gallons of
