STANTON JIany people are still living who can recall the odor of the fuel used In early-day "gas buggies." Gasoline then was not much better than the "coal oil" commonly used in lamps and lanterns. It is a far cry from the foul smelling fuel furnished for early-day motor cars to the high octane, ethyl gasolines of this day. The motor industry is engineering new and better power plants and as these engines come off the production line, fuels will be available to bring about their best performance, for the oil industry is not working only on today's product but also on the fuels and lubricants that will be needed tomorrow. We had opportunity to glimpse hastily some of the prepa rations to meet future demands as we were conducted through the marvelous laboratories in the research division of the Standard Oil company of California in Richmond. The inspection trip was made in company with 37 editors from western Washington and western Oregon at the com pany's huge refinery at Richmond. We were shown crude masonry stills in which the first gasoline was produced and then toured acres of modern fractionation towers, storage tanks and treatment plants from which comes the highly efficient fuels and lubricants serving America's industrial and transportation machines. We were taken into laboratories in which endless corridors were lined with rooms where highly-skilled technicians con duct their studies into Improvement of petroleum products. In one section we found automobile and truck motors of almost every make under the most rugged tests. Attached to devices measuring fuel consumption, pressures, lubrica tion, etc., these motors are run continuously, week after week and month after month, until they finally break down. Skilled mechanics then take the motors apart, study wear on every moving part, test metal for structural changes, and gather any pertinent information which may aid the scientists in producing a fuel or lubricant to give longer motor life and better performance. Because researchers need many gadgets not otherwise available to perform complicated processes, the laboratory maintains machine shops and glass blowing departments in which apparatus is manufactured. . The research division Is known as the California Research corporation, and from its many departments have recently come such things as "soapless soaps" detergents manu factured from petroleum non-flammable hydraulic fluid for aircraft, and a new process for manufacturing phthalic anhydride, an important ingredient in plastics and high grade paints. ce T'a vlk' III laakk - - " " ' u -r i I I f L "aV iiw'-O -KL.

I United Nations' Foundation Still Firm Despite Frequent Dissension, Bickerings Over Inevitable Issues By DR. JOHN L. HASKINS Manager Roseburg Veterans Hospital Monday It a new holiday one that should be celebrated by all peoples of the world "United Nallona Day." We celebrate Hie Fourth of July. Norway observe! May 17 and France dedicate July 14th as a national holiday. But since 1947, Oct. 24 has been set aside as world wide day lor all nations to observe as the an niversary of the official birth of the United Nations. The President of the United States, by proclamation Aug. 25, called on all citi zens of the country to cooperate In public programs "dedicated to strengthening our participation in the work of the United Nations.1 Our attention Is called to the i HUNTERS IN CRASH - SPOKANE, Oct. 22 .PV-Tw Spokane sportsmen were In a "fairly good condition" at locaj hospital today following a plana crash near Elk, Wash., late Thursday.

The history of the development of the United Nations Is pretty the end of the Revolutionary War lor the next twenty years. Here was an attempt to build a word ing form of political machinery among three million pec le, with the same tongue, with the same geographical setting and with a pretty common ancestry and this attempt was on the verge of fail ure time after time.

Naturrlly there is bound to ensue a long period of adjustment. There have been dissents and failures to accomplish what we desire in the four years of the existence of the United Nations but much has been accomplished and more can be accomplished If we show the same intelligence, patience and tolerance that our forefathers did after our Revo ljtionary War. well known to all of us who have ernment, what rights certain peo- followed the newspapers for the past few years. We know of .he Atlantic Charter, the Dumbarton ORkes conversations and the rat ification of the charter on Oct. 24, 1945.

We hear much of the dissention with in the organization; how such and pie had. was not settled by one convention or two, but was the work of patient, honest and Intel ligent statesmen. There was trial and error and try again. The Bill of Rights helped to solve the problem, but It was not until 1865 that Lee's surrender at Appom matox courthouse solved the problem of what each state mlgiit do.

The little threaders would make a nice Christmas thought to In clude In a letter or with a greet ing card? Little folk doing pic ture work with colored yarns would enjoy using one to thread the balky wool; equally good for use with threads and, silks. Why doesn't a 10-cent store stock them?

Seems as if I find new uses all the time in housekeep ing, too. And how did we ever keep house without foil! I was such a Jong time getting around to buy a roll of it, but its value as a housekeeping aid is all that is claimed for it, and more, too. It can be used over and over, too, in most cases. It handles much easier w hen warm, especially the heavier weight which can cut fingers the way paper can. After I have washed and rinsed a piece I 'bake' it, next time oven Is In use.

There are so many contradictory claims about what various waidies will do that a few facts can come in mighty handy. Her are a few facts that can help anyone about to purchase a watch to get a watch to suit his job or his expectations. 1. 17 jewels or ony higher number do not necessarily guarantee qual ity. 17-jewel wrist watches may be had for as little os $19.50. These watches usually ore of no better quality, nor are they capable of any more . accuracy than a 7-jewel wotch for the same price. That is because finish and precision are more important than the number of jewels. 2. Any watch from the 7-jewel watch selling for S 1 9.50 to the finest solid gold watch selling for hundreds of dollars are copoble of accurate time keeping service. This service does not depend so much upon the name or make of the watch as it does upon the workmanship of the watchmaker who repairs it. If you have a watch that is not running properly, it is not the fault of the wotch it is the fault of the person who last repaired it. Even if it hasn't run from the day you bought it, this is true, because most new wotches need cleaning soon after they are purchased. At Knudtson's you'll find GRUEN, WYLER, HAMILTON ond LONGINES wotches in a complete price range from S29.50 up. Shop around by all means but be sure to see the many watches at Knudtson's before you buy. across from Douglas County Bank JEWELERS
