The board decided any shift of time would be a hardship on students in the area, since sev eral of the schools open classes at 8:25 a.m. Any step-up of time or shift of hours in the schools, the .hoard explained, would mean that small children would have to be waiting for the bus as early as 8 a.m. In other districts, the clocks remain the same, but the school boards open and close classes an hour early.

Instead, they found a rat tler sunning himself on a sand stone ledge. The snake, which had 13 rattles, measured 34 inches minus the rattles. It was killed by Dickinson and Mary Alice Riddle's father. Yvonne Riddle, seven-year-old sister who had "tagged along," is still wide-eyed over the incident. Another rattler was killed in the foothills near 52nd St. east of Springfield this week by Bob and Harold Hardenbrook and Jack Evans, all of Springfield. This snake, with five rattles, did not put up much of a fight, the boys said, because its stomach was stuffed with a recently-devoured chipmunk. nam evacuation where transports Engineer Ends 51-Yeor Career OAKLAND, Calif.

Lately I've been readir your statements about bigness. Am I supposed to be glad you're big?" The answer to this question depends on your answer to certain others. "Big business" often gets the blame for many things, so that some people have come to feel that bigness itself may be bad. But in making up your own mind on this proposition, it's well to consider the good that comes from this same bigness. Do you like new and better things? Standard has spent over $35,000,000 on research and technical service in the last 6 years, developing new products, improving existing ones, making new rnw mate rials for other manufacturers. The benefits nre all around you. Yet only when allowed to grow big, by serving you bet ter, can we take on the work and risk involved. Do you llke'a bargain? You're getting one in gasoline. While the cost of living is up about 47 in the last 25 years, gssoline is up less than 4,eieept for taxes. (And it's better gas; 2 gal lons now do work that then took 3.) Why? Largely because of competition among big oil companies. Are yo"u glad you have the conveniences! this "machine age?" They depend heavily on oil. You're assured an ample supply of oil by the enterprise of big companies like Standard. We seek out new crude reserves, in this country and abroad, with exploration that may cost millions before the first gallon is found. We can do ;'o6s this big only because we are big. "Do you want to keep your country strong? Our fighting men are backed by tho world's greatest production capacity. It takes big companies to keep defense goods in full supply. Standard is at work for our government on aviation gasolines, atomic research, synthetio rubber, and other vital projects. Obviously, there are countless ways to express the benefits you gain by our big ness . . . countless questions we could ask, to which you'd probably answer ' yes just as readily. And if you like the things that bigness brings, the answer to the nuestion we started with is the same. You can be glad we're big. STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA plans ahead to serve you better
