What a wonderful country this world would be
If every politician voted for the security and future
of his country instead of for his election
If every liberal worked for the financial soundness
of his country instead of for the socialist idea of dragging
everyone down to the same drab low level.
If every business manager said and did what he knew
right rather than what he thinks the union his stock
holders the s. Department of Justice whatever would
like him to do say.
If every workman did his best days work because he

If every voted for America, not for "who will
give me the most.
Is there anyone who would not rally around such a

Gas Exploration
Again Underway
Drilling In Pleasant Valley
Approaching J, 900 Feet

Exploratory drilling for gas was
resumed last week on the Adam
Lucas farm in the Pleasant Valley
area, when the Lohman-J ohnson
company of Indiana began work
under contract for the Cumber-
land and Allegheny Gas company.
The drilling rig is one of the
largest TO be used in this county,
and the depth to which drilling is
proposed is one of the deepest.
Measuring LAT feet in height, the
rig was moved to the site on Thurs
day of last week in prefabricated
sections, and actual operations
begun one day later. If necessary,
it is planned to probe from 5000
to 5000 feet in an attempt to
strike deeper gas strata than
that tapped by present wells.
Two previous wells have been
successful on the Lucas farm dur
ing past years, although only one
is producing at the present time.
The site is across the road from
the Jasper Riley farm, where pre-
viously two successful wells had
Eeen brought in. Both have now
been taken out of production, Mr
Riley said last night.
In the immediate vicinity is the
Norris X. Welch farm, where the
county's first producing we'll was
brought in, and which is still a
major producer.
Yesterday, drilling on the neN
well had reached $500 feet and is
being continued on 24-hour a dat

One Uniform For TIUO boys
Prospect For .II. GTiGiGfeE'S

Southern High schools athletic
department was delighted this
week. More than seventy-five boys
in grades seven, eight and nine
reported to Coaches Carl Schoon-
over and Tom Kuhn in response
to call for football players. Ath-
letic Director Dick Travis said this
was the largest number of boys
ever to report.
Delight turned to concern, how
ever, when it was realized that
equipment is available for only
about twenty boys. An immediate
alternative considered was the pos
sibility that two boys could wear
the same uniform. No, this doesn't
mean the uniforms are large and
the boys are small Nor does it
mean that each player will be only
half dressed. The idea being dis
cusSed is for one group of boys
to practice on Monday and Tues
day, while a second group would
practice on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday.
Plans to purchase enough equip
ment to outfit thirty-five boys are
being reviewed by school officials
and Kenneth Johns, principal, in
dicatcd that every effort was be-
ing made to keep the interest OF
the younger boys who reported for
practice sessions.
No definite games have been
scheduled for the junior players
The emphasis will be placed on
teaching of fundamentals with the
possibility of intra-squad games
and one or two inter-schOol con-
tests.
