Emma the Elephant Cuts
Loose at the Wrong Moment
Long Beach, Calif. (IP) Emma, five-ton circus elephant, picks
the dog-gondest times to change her mind.
Tuesday night her trainer, George King, tried to get her up a
ramp into an auditorium for a
children's benefit performance.
But Emma, who stands nine
feet seven inches high, proved
to be too big to get through the
tunnel-like device, so King de
cided he'd make her get down
on her knees and crawl through.
All went well until Emma,
apparently disgusted with the
idea, decided to stand up. The
ramp burst open and the 55-year-old
pachyderm remained
lodged there in the splintered
wreckage until workers hacked
her out.
For the remainder of the per
formances, Emma will do her
act outside the auditorium.

Plan to A ttend the
Cherryland Festival
1. Bill Ryan, 55, is foreman mechanic at the
Dominguez Water Company in Long Beach,
California. He and Mrs. Ryan live in a company
bungalow at the main plant. Bill went to work
for the company as a mechanic in 1923 and has
been with them ever since. He is also one of the
owners of Union Oil Company,
2. In 1940 he started buying Union Oil stock.
Today he owns 100 shares. At the present mar
ket his stock is worth over $3,000. He could sell it
for that tomorrow if he chose. $3,000 would buy
many things the Ryans could use. Among other
projects, they're looking for a home of their
own; Bill would like to add to his home movie
equipment; and Mrs. Ryan has some ideas
about furniture.
3 But the Ryans have chosen to invest that
money in oil wells, tools and refineries that
make gasoline for other people instead of spend
ing it on things they could use themselves. Nat
urally, they are entitled to some compensation
for this. For you can't eat, live in, ride on or us
your share of an oil company. In fact, the invest
ment doesn't even entitle you to free gasoline.
4. So our American system offers people who
put their money into "tools" instead of "goods"
a reward in the form of dividends whenever
the company makes a profit. Last year Union
Oil dividends amounted to $1.95 per share. So
the Ryans got $195.00 from their holdings. This
is within $72.00 of what the average Union Oil
common-stock holder got in 1948.
5. For Union Oil Company is owned not by
one man, or two, but by 34,229 common-stock
holders like the Ryans and 2,085 holders of pre
ferred stock.The average common-stock holder
owns just 137 shares the average preferred
stock holder 120 shares. Naturally, some stock
holders own more than this average, some less.
6. But the largest individual Union Oil stock
holder owns only 1 of the total stock. So the
profits of Union Oil and most American corpo
rationsdon't go to a few millionaires. They are
. split up among thousands of average American
capitalists like the Ryans capitalists whose
combined savings have made Union Oil and
most of our American corporations possible.
