School District
19 Keeps PST
Springfield's school district
isn't going to change its clocks,
its hours, or anything related to
time.
The board of education for
District 19 .-Monday night de
cided to leavintg things as they
are, as far as time is concerned.
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.

Riddle and Bill Dickinson, all of
Creswell, started out Saturday to
hunt for flowers for a biology
class. 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

This snake, with five rattles, did

Many neODle write US such comments as this: "I've heard people talk against big companies likeyou. 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.
