How our I25 "dry holes" last year
 helped keep you on wheels

fyou're anything like the average motorist, you'll use about 690 gallons of gasoline this year. And that's just beginning. Keeping you on wheels and supplying you with the thousand and one ttoil-born'' products so vital to modern living requires gallons of petroleum day for every man, woman and child in the U. S.-an increase of 58 % since 1941. Helping to keep this oil flowing to you is Standard Oil Company of Californias biggest, most expensive, least practicable job. In fact, we plan to invest $2OO million during 1855 alone in exploring for new oil fields and developing existing ones, to help replace the petroleum you'll use.
 Some 700 times this year, Standard drillers

PRIVATE SCHOOL BUS BILL HEADED FOR COURT DECISION

JUNEAU -tR- Attorney Gener- al J. Gerald Williams has advised Governor Heintzleman to sign the controversial private school bus transportation bill into law and a. wait an ultimate court decision on Tits validity.
 He said it would in all likeli- hood end up in the Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco, The Legislature approved and sent to the Governor the bill which would allow bus transportation for private school pupils, largely par ochiaI schools, if they travel along the same routes which the buses Iregularly run for public school children.
 Williams :nid the crux Of the legal issue k whether the bus ser vice is for the benefit of the pri- vate schools or for tie benefit of the pupils.
 He said the U. S Supreme Court has held that there is no conflict with the federal constitution in providing the transportation, but that state court decisions have been diametridlly opposed to each other
 He said there have been court decisions both that the transport ation is a benefit to the schools and that it is basically a benefit
 to the pupils nther than the schools.
 A court decision will be required. he said, to settle the issue in Al aska's case.

will start bits spinning. As much as 16,OOO feet of pipe may follow the bit before oil is found or the well is abandoned. Either way it's costly hole: drilling an oil well may run from SIPS, ,OO0 to over $1 million And every one is risk-only 1 out of every wells drilled in the U. s. in promising but un- proven area turns out to be an oil producer. Yet new sources of oil must be found to keep our nations supplies from dwindling. Risking dry holes' is the only way to find them. So the 125 dry holes'' we drilled last year are good evidence of the job Standard does to help keep you on wheels.

Home Clubs Have
Come Along Way,
Achieved Much
BY ID. w. COWARD
Dean OF Agriculture, n. c.
State College

The week of May l through 7
is a time for giving special re-
cognition to 69,526 women in the
States 100 counties who make up
the North Carolina Federation of
Home Demonstration Clubs.
This vast adult education move
ment, celebrating May 1T the
Tenth Annual National Home De-
monStration Week. has come a
very long way in North Carolina
since 1914 and the first tomato
clubs. Though still primarily in
tereSted in maintaining a COM
Portable, convenient, and happy
home. club women today are
reaching with interest and a de-
sire to help into community life,
into the state, nation and a.
round the world.
Here in North Carolina home
demonstration members have un-
derway an active music education
program in the rural areas of the
state: they have citizenship, in
ternational relations and educa-
ton leaders-213 of whom have
visited the United Nations and
reported personally their expert
enceS to around 10000 persons.
Just these two statewide pro-
jectS indicate a trend that to-
days farm woman no longer is
kept at home concerned only with
matters of the home. Basic home
economics information has en-
abled the farm woman to run
better her home and at the same
time has brought her into her
community as an integral part
of its activities.
It's a real privilege for me to
join in extending to North Caro-
linas home demonstration men,
berS, my sincerest congratula-
tionS for the imprint they are
making upon our state. May we
hope that the science of home
economics and the leadership of
farm women will have a growing
influence upon good living in ru-
raj North Carolina.
