Town Meets
Visitors with
Prompt Help
By Mrs. Ulysses Griffith Nv,
Clearwater 1862

SACdI hdtCl O-~OO"
June l was a crisp clear day
in Damascus with gusty winds
that felt more like fall than sum
mer.
Out at the high school, Damas-
Gus Civil Defense officer Bern
ard Gladhill and his assistants
had all in readiness to greet a
cavalcade of Takoma Park ref
ugees from enemy bombers."
The refugees were scheduled to
arrive in Damascus about 2 p. m.
Assisting Mr.. Gladhill were as
sistant civil defense officer Hal
Crawford, high school principal
E. G. CLINE and the following
volunteers; Leslie Thompson,
Richard Carlson, Herbert S. Hy-
att, Everett Jones, Charles Tsch-
iffely, Roscoe Purdum, Jack Sum
ners, Jerry Williams, Carlton
Brandenburg, Kenneth Howes,
Tommy Bellison and Sally
Byrnes.
They represented such civic or,
CARNATIONS as the Lions, Amer
lean Legion, the schools, and the
Damascus Volunteer Fire Depart
ment. The fire department also
<Tad on hand a fire truck and an
CAmbulance on stand by basis.
About three o'clock the caval-
cade escorted by group of coun-
ty and Takoma Park policemen in
cars and on motorcycles arrived
at the school. The group swung
quietly and efficiently into the
parking area under the direction
of the police and the Damascus
CD workers.
Altogether there were sc cars
carrying adults and children, and
some Is auxiliary vehicles includ.
ing a Takoma Park ambulance
and squad wagon, two American
Red Cross station wagons, CD of
fetal cars and two radio equip.
ped autos driven by Hugh Green
and Larry Thomas, members of
Montgomery County's radio
Amateur Civil Emergency Serv-
ice, CD arm known as the
RACES.
The hours delay in the expect
ed arrival time at Damascus was
caused primarily, according to
county CD Officer Admiral G.
Roy Hartwig and Takoma CD Of
ficer Harold billiard, ST., by the
q 5ne-car-at-a-time method of load
ing employed at the school. In
commenting on points learned
from the test, Admiral HartWig
said that there would definitely
have to be plan of multiple car
loading worked out for future
drills.
After the cars were unloaded
their occupants proceeded to reg
lister alphabetically at tables set
up under the supervision of E. G
Cline of the high school. Eff.
ficient and quick registration was
provided by group of the fol
lowing DIS juniors:
Joyce Tabler, Susan Rice, Ida
Seal, Esther Hargett, James
Beall, Helen Black, Marilyn
GLAND, Jane Nichols, Audrie Han.
ming, Carolyn King, Nancy Mac.
Nab, Janet King and Evelyn
Smith.
Mr. Gladhill in commenting on
the drill was particularly proud
of the fine job done by the school
and said that the registration was
100 per cent.

President S Order FOk's Northwest's S
 Route to Hawaii

WASHINGTON, tg-Reversing @is- field, President Eisenhower has decided to give both North west AirlineS and Pan American World AirWays a chance to show whether they can operate between the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii without S federal subsidy.
 Eisenhower announced his new decision Monday night, less than week after he had ordered the Civil Aeronautics Board to deny Northwest Airlines authority $@, continue flying between Seattle Portland and Hawaii. Under the Presidents original directive, Pan American would have baem given sole rights to the route for five years.
 Howeves, t8ze President left un- disturbed orders he gave the CAB last Wednesday affecting certain of Northwest'S routes across the Pacific to Tokyo
 EisenhoWer'S order of last week which would have cancelled a CAB decision to allow both air lines to operate over the route evoked considerable protest from Washington, Oregon, Montana and Minnesota congressional del agations. The objectors contended that Jrorar,irao Nor+hvrao+ xxya,,lxl give Pan American monopoly on the route. They also argued it's effect would be to deny through service to Hawaii from the north ern tier of states.
 Outlining his reasons for chang ing his mind, Eisenhower told CAB Acting Chairman Chan Cur ney: 'As you know, I believe in the strength of competitive enter prise if based upon sound consid- erationS, but it must not be waste full duplication at the expense of the federal government.
 Both carriers operating on this Seattle Portland Hawaii route have built up substantial busi- ness. Moreover, since my original action in this case, have received | from you information to the effect that within two years all airline subsidies in the Pacific area will probably have been eliminated or will at least approach that point" |"

AIRS OFF THE AIR

AF'RS will be off the air due to technical difficulties, it was an- nounced today, but the station should resume its schedule within a few days.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1955-03-19

ever, it appears probable that the
growth in consumption will be
somewhat greater than that Of last
year. Operating costs are unlikely
to decline The price Of gasoline
thus far is slightly below the aver
age level Of 1854 and unless some
improvement occurs, the margin
between realized prices and costs
in 1866 will be the same or some
what less than last year. Summar-
izing these factors, it would ap-
pear that the 1866 outlook is for
a moderate improvement over
1854"
Sales and operating revenue for
the year totaled 1904, 371 1888, about
43o below the record high of $317,-
1886 in 1868. Lower physical
volume was the principal factor in
the reduction of revenues.
Capital expenditures totaled $751;
585, $50 in 1854, slightly higher than
in 1853. Expenditures for new ia
cilities planned for 1866 are fore
cast at $48 million.
Soho sold 43 million barrels of
petroleum products in 1854. This
was 7%o below the record volume
established in 1853, but exceeded
all other previous years. Sales in
1853 partly reflected unusual op-
portunities to sell large quantities

Louisiana during the past 10 years
and two months by the oil industry
for bonuses, rentals and royalties,
according to a report by Mrs. Ellen
Bryan Moore, register Of the state
land office.
Receipts from offshore lands
during the period totaled $104 mil
lion.
The report covered collections by
the state land office from private
mineral firms since 1945, the first
year submerged lands in the Gulf
of Mexico were leased.
Bonus and rental collections by
the land office from offshore tracts
rose from $634,000 in 1915 to SIT
million in 1948, declined until 1868
due to the tidelands controversy,
and jumped to $38 million in 1854.
Offshore royalties jumped from
$4,000 in 1948 to nearly 81 mil
lion in 1854, according to Mrs.
Moore.
Inland bonus and rental pay
ments jumped from 81, 100000 in
1915 to almost $11 million in 1854.
Inland royalty payments in
creased from $4,000 to SIT mil
lion during the same period.

Of unbranded products in wholesale
markets. However, in 1854, for the
tenth consecutive year, sales Of So
hio branded products through usual
marketing channels were above the
level Of the previous year.
Rejecting the decline in the
volume Of refined products sold
the amount Of crude oil processed
at Sohio's refineries dropped to
1904 barrels per day, 1910 below
the record level reached in 1853.
Soho will begin the manufacture
and sale of fertilizers and other
petrochemical products early in
1866 when a SIT million petro-
chemical manufacturing plant now
under construction at Lima, Ohio,
is completed.
Sohio's net production Of crude
oil and other liquid hydrocarbons
averaged 32,192 barrels per day,
$50 above 1868. Production de-
clined in the second half Of the
year as the result Of reduced well
allowables in several states, pipe
line proration in two states, and
the decline in production from
Spraberry wells. These factors
lowered the Company's net produc.
ton to 30,114 barrels daily in De-
cember. The increase in daily pro-
duction in 1854 largely reflected

canada's Future In Oil Exploration
One Of Most Promising Provinces

CALGARY, Alta. Canada
faces a future of oil exploration
that dwarfs our present concep-
tions. The 100000 square miles
considered fair game for oil find
ings in Western Canada makes up
one of the largest, most promising,
and most sparsely tested oil prov
inces in the world"
That is the report by Frank J.
Gardner, exploration editor for The
Oil and Gas Journal, in the March
Ia issue of that magazine. Gard
ner, who has just completed a two
week reconnaissance of explora-
ton possibilities in the area, says,
at is actually a bit ambiguous to
speak of Western Canada as sin
gle oil province, for here is a vast
area of exploration more than
twice the size of Texas"
Comparing Western Canada and
Texas, Gardner writes that in 1854,
Texas drilled 5,109 exploratory
wells with a success ratio of 22.8
per cent, while in Canada, in over
twice the area, 936 exploratory
wells accounted for a success ratio
of 26.7 per cent.
"The important thing to remem-
Der about this growing oil empire
is that reserve increases are out
stripping production he states,
pointing out that more than 1000
proved locations are yet undrilled.
The problem there is in drilling
what has been found and getting it
to market. Canadians estimate a
daily production capacity of 1,000,-
900 barrels by 1860, compared to
present capacity of about 100000.
Oil production is not new to Can
ada, Gardner reports. "In fact,
there are those who claim that
southern Ontario was producing
oil in the Lambton area at least
a year before Colonel Drake drilled
