Robert ]. Durham, living alone
one mile north of Cheswold, had
a thrilling experience Friday
night in being awakened to find
his house on fire and barely
time to escape with his life.
Durham retired as usual after
shutting up the house with
everything apparently in good
condition. During the night he
was awakened by the suffoca-
ting smell of smoke and soon
realized his house was being
rapidly consumed by flames.
The lone occupant lost no time
in hauling for his escape. Find
ing the starts cut off by the
onrush of flames, he took the
only course left and that was to
smash through second story
window. In doing so he was
severely cut with glass. He made
a leap into the snow and spar
sely clad in clothing, saw there
was no hope of saving his home.
With the thermometer hover
ing around about zero, he set
out on foot to his nearest neigh
Dor which he reached after a
rigid experience. He left blood
marks in the snow over which
he covered. His wounds are,
however, healing and he is rap
idly recovering from his expert
ence. The total loss of his house
and contents will probably not
exceed $400, on which, it is re-
ported, he has an insurance of
5000.

Research Billions Build

The Nations multi-million
dollar research and develop

Noting that $8.5 billion have
been appropriated by the Gov
ernment for current scientific
work, DR.. George B. Kistiakow-
sky told $500 Civil Defense
Executive Reservisits at the
Sheraton-Park Hotel that near
ly 10 per cent of that sum is
spent on basic research.
AS a result, he said, techno-
logical advances by research
and development firms are paw
ing the way for tomorrow's in

The Washington area is one
of the Nations leading research
and development centers.
DR.. KistiakowSky told the
Civil Defense conference, COM
posed of top level executives
from business, labor and
Government, that increasingly
larger sums probably will be
spent on such projects in the
future.
He disparaged recent COM
ments that the United States
has fallen behind the Soviet
Union in it's scientific efforts.
He conceded that the Rus

BY 1850, most foreign coun-
tries had re-established their
refinerieS and Mr.. Keith's
business began to dwindle-
as he had expected.
Turned Toward U. S.
1--WE began to concentrate
on the domestic end of our
business (then located in New
York; and stepped up our
American sales," he said. The
company is a distributor of
petroleum and petroleum prod
ucts to such firms as inde-
pendent gasoline stations and
fuel oil dealers.
About the same time, he
began to toy with the idea OF
setting up his own service
stations.
I'D had this idea in mind
for quite a few years." he
said. "Prof1t-wise. there is
more in service stations than
in the wholesale business"
He decided to tackle that
highly-competitive end of the
business in 1856. approaching
it cautiously and calmly. He
set up a single station in
Annapolis to test his theories
II thought the way the other
stations were operating was not
the thing" he said. They were
trying to mix garages with the
selling of gasoline - and I've
found that usually a mechanic
is not very interested in sales
work"
Big Volume Theme
Mr.. Keith turned to what he
calls a "supermarket" tech
nique: big storage, big sta
tions and big volume" with re-
Sulting economies.
He installed white pumps
constructed white driveways
and supplied white uniforms to
his attendants-to convey ideas

But for all the modest ex-

Sl0-million-a-year petroleum

At present his organization,
