UP) A woman killed in a four-car crash on Black Horse pike that claimed three other lives was identified here as Mrs. Mary I,ou Oliver, 20, Corvallis, Ore. Her husband, Wilfred Oliver, 29, was in a criti cal condition in a hospital. He and his wife were riding in a car driven by Robert Joseph Som ers, 21, Amherst, Wis., who died Monday. He and Oliver were sail ors attached to the U. S. S. Cabni. Killed outright with Mrs. Oliver wcro Marie T. Conway, 21, of Philadelphia, and Norjnan Ever ett, 50, of Atlantic City. Everett's wife, Isabella, was in critical condition. After the board has taken ap propriate action on the site rec ommendation, he said, it can ac quire the site through purchase, donation or trade. Once land is deeded to the county, it can be sold only after a vote by the people, Collins stated. Plans are then drawn up by the park superintendent for the de velopment of the park. Collins said the department has little funds available for muintance work and it is usually necessary for civic groups to aid in the care and development of parks. He used Drain's new county park, located near the Living War memorial, as an example of how i com munity can cooperate. Collins said there are now 10 parks in the county, the most important being the one at Win chester Bay. He said some of the sues have not been developed as useful recreation areas but will be as funds are obtained for improve ments. In his concluding remarks, Col lins said the county is concen trating its efforts at present on obtaining sites rather than im provements of existing parks. He said real estate values in the county have increased to a point which makes the purchase of ade quate sites very compe l ive. He said the county is the mvkct for some good park sites in southern Douglas county, an area which has no county parks. Two Estates Admitted To Probate In Douglas The estate of Agnes E. Johns has been admitted to probate with her son, Rollin C. Johns, named as administrator on his own petition. Appraisers appointed by County Judge Carl C. Hill are Mr. and Mrs. C. H.

Hill appointed petitioner Frances E. Wixson, sister of the deceased, as administratrix and G. V. Wim berly, H. E. Schmeer and V. V. Hancy as appraisers.

You mny have heard thnt a lnwmiit has srcently boon filed by the Antitrunt Divntion in Washington, D. C. to break up Standard of California as well as nix other Weat Const oil companies. Many jeople have written us protecting this ac tion, and have naked pertinent questions. We fool they should be answered for everyone. And wo take this way of doing so. If you have a question we urge you to write: "I'd Like to Know" 225 Bush St., San Francisco 20 "Why should you be in aH parts of the oil business?" ., AO'S. , v. r v 1 Mrs. Henry Lincoln, housewife in Boise, Idaho, asks: "Do you haw to be in all parts of the 1 oil business? Why don't you just produce or refine, and give j. i . other companies a chance to do the transporting, selling, etc?" IUta. yuycCi- p p Why all parts? Take the example ef how Standnrd nerves Idaho and eastern Ore gon. Time was when severe winter weather often delayed deliveriea. Cost seemed high. Here was a need, a demand. Some 600 miles away in Colorado was a possible source of additional fuel the old Kangely oil field, long undeveloped. Standard studied the demand and the supply, decided to bring them together. That called for a complete, integrated operation getting the crude out of the ground, refining it, delivering it to users all carefully planned ahead. So new wells were drilled at Rangely. tfmm mmm ib And to move the crude. Standard laid i pipeline to Salt Lake. This called for an especially big investment because the 182 mile long line is the world's highest: crosses the Uinta Mm. at 9560 feet. ' A: 1 it . M"""1" miMiiinn If Standard had not been prepared in jHf, in intfgmted skill, in immtmmt m; Uaiia tackle this job as it did, it could not have done this job at all. As it is, we are able to serve a large ib uW. Next a new Standard refinery at Salt Lake. It cost over $15 million. But to keep costs down, it must operate contin uouslyhave constant supply of crude, constant movement of product. Another long pipeline wan then built on up to the Northwest. Gasoline and fuel oil made from Rangely crude now go where they're needed lower in cost, plentiful no matter how tough the winter. A certain minority in the U. S. seems to believe big companies should be broken up-even though big companies bave led the way in helping provide an unmatched standard of living and helped keep the nation strong. Th. U. S. was very thankful for ita big companies during the last two world wars ... and is again, in todays critical times. This ifc 0 a big country with big problems, and it needs both big aj small com panies to meet them. We will do everything we can to continue doing a good job for you and the nation ... a good big job. o STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA plans ahead to serve vou better HOPS O
