which with couplings weighs less

although not included in the basic
rig. Specially designed drill bits
for all types of formation are
available.
Among the uses for the drill, as
outlined by DR.. Montgomery, are
in addition to the more obvious
mining needs: earth sampling,
bridge abutment, highway con-
struction work, geophysical explo-
ration, small blast hole, water well
and shot hole drilling. Coring de-

will be held in the near future.
Private tests for developers have
been constructed during the past
few days.

the 9 3/4 inch percussion drilling
tool, the prototype of which was
demonstrated on January 20, is I'M

With a daily capacity of $4,000

The ultra-modern installation is
scheduled for completion in May,

The recently developed fluid cox
ing process is used by the petrol
cum industry to upgrade heavy fuel
oil into the components of gasoline
and heating oils. The by-product
from which the process takes its
name is a clean, dust-free, granu-
lated coke that is commercially use
full in metallurgy and as fuel.
Some 1000 cubic yards of con-
crete have been poured for the

eight 96-foot supporting columns.
Extra-large vertical steel reinforc-

columns. The finished structure,
high as a 20-story building, will
be 256 feet in height.
Another project scheduled in the
refinery's current expansion is the
construction of "a, 900 arrel-per-
day Observation-Disclosures unit. it

SINH, Calf. - A revolutionary
one-man rotary exploration drill
! which weighs only 125 pounds, re-
quires no water supply-even for
/ it's power plant-and can drill a
/ 3/4 inch hole through 100 feet
Of the most difficult types Of for
nation in the ruggedest sort of
terrain, was officially announced
today by the American Percussion
Tool Company Of San Francisco
and SINH, California.
M. Laurence Montgomery, the
San Francisco physician and sur
geon who is president of APTCO,
said in his announcement:
"We feel that with this new drill
ling device American Percussion
Tool Company had done it again.
Only last January we demonstrated
for the industry new percussion
drill which, tests indicate, should
cut major oil well drilling time and
cost by very substantial margin.
The new portable rig, which we call
the mighty midget, is designed pri-
marily for the little fellow. 1t is,
you might say, do it yourself
device, which we are confident will
open up great new fields of mineral
exploration, especially for those
who cannot finance the extremely
expensive operations required to
move standard water drill rigs into
difficult terrain. Uranium hunters
and other prospectors should find
it a boon. In fact, the more we
think about it, the more potential
uses we find for the new tool"
The new APTCO rig can be car
ried in the trunk of a car, then
packed on the backs of two men
into country inaccessible to other
transportation. 1t can be set up

Interior Bathrooms
Seen Gaining in Favor.

Interior bathrooms with no
windows may be one of the main
features Of homes OF tomorrow.
They sometimes can be better
ventilated than bathrooms with
windows. They can be warmer
in winter and cooler In summer.
They can give you a better
planned house with more out
side walls for windows and light
In the rooms you use the most.
They open the way for wider
range of ideas In remodeling a
house. And FILA has now APP

ARE
LURES

Israel has arranged a calendar
of festivals and other special
events as a means of developing
into a year-round tourist center,
according to the 1855 Tourist Issue
of Economic Horizons, monthly
publication of the Jewish Agency's
Economic Department in New
York.
Israels mild climate makes her
an ideal vacation spot any time
of the year, Economic Horizons
says. A wide choice of sea and air
connections makes her easily ac-
cessible from the United States,
and her nearness to Europe has in
creased the number of Israel-Eur-
ope combination tours being Of
fered by the travel trade.
Highlight events this year are
Israels independence Day, which
falls on April 27; the Elm Gev
Music Week, in April; the Haifa
Flower Week, in May; the Samson
Festival at Ashkelon in June, fea-
turing ballet and sport contests,
and the Wine Festival at Zikhron
Yaakov at the end of July. Another
outstanding celebration is t h e
Rambam Year, marking the 750th
anniversary of the death of the
great philosopher, Maimonides.

you have worked with such distinc-

the support you have given the
State of Israel.
"You did more than dig deeply
into your pockets. You gave to
this young nation the moral and
spiritual Inspiration which it need
ed so urgently in its formative
years"
The people of Israel, he said,
did not believe that the early days
of a young nation must of neces-
sity be a dictatorship. Commun-
lists not only believe it, they prac-
tice it at every opportunity.
80 imbued were IsraeTs leaders
with the concept of freedom, that
the thought never occurred to them
to accept such an invitation to dis
aster. They preferred to make it
the hard way, and they were will
ing to undergo whatever suffering
lay ahead, just as our forefathers
were over here"
