Last year Standard's scientists explored millions of acres offshore and on land in the Western Hemisphere. Once again we dis covered new oil deposits that will help supply the 830 gallons of petroleum everyone in the U. S. will use this year . . . and the 1000 gallons they'll need by 1965. With oil becoming more difficult and expensive to find, Standard'i investment in exploration is increasing . . . $119,000,000 last year. That's one way we can find new oil to help keep ahead of the nation's irrowing need for products from petroleum. U.

Fail Board to Interview Three More Candidates for Manager By MARGARET MAGEE Capital Journal Writer There were at least three more applicants for the position of ex ecutive secretary and manager of the Oregon State Fair remaining to be interviewed when the Oregon State Fair Commission ended its Tuesday session here. This trio, which includes "one (, Salem man and a former Salem Ite, will be among those meeting with the commission when it again convenes here Friday. The Salem man Is Don Schmidt, who was at one time the state Future Farmer of America and Is a former agriculture instructor at the Pendleton High School. WAGES VP, BUSINESS DOWN Letter Discloses, Bus Firm Troubles Losses in operating revenues of City Transit Lines operations are continuing, bus riders have been informed in a newsletter aistrm uted by the company. In the first of what is planned to be a scries of monthly news letters, the bus firm also reported that a contract calling for a 10 cent an hour wage Increase had been signed with its employes. The firm explained this action was taken, despite its financial difficulties, in order to prevent a work stoppage and also because it believes "the general public does not expect our employes to continue to work at lower than average wages in order that fares and service be maintained at pres ent levels." 'Flexible Franchise Used The financially-hard-pressed bus firm Is now operating under a "flexible" franchise, which en ables it to set its own rates and schedules,. When the "flexible" franchise was put into effect last month it had been hoped it would solve the situation which had led to City Transit threats to suspend operation here. Some suburban lines have been slightly curtailed since the "flex ible" franchise was put in opera tion and on suburban lines fares have been increased to 30 cents cash and two tokens for SS cents. Transfers are issued on cash fares only. In the newsletter It was indi cated that the company "may have to make a further increase in fares rather than curtail vital service, necessary to many of you." New Riding Trend , In the newsletter it was pointed out that a surprising trend in bus riding habits has developed which has seen Friday, formerly the day when busses were most used, become the next-to-worst day in number of riders. Changes in shopping habits brought about by increased use of automobiles using free parking facilities at the fringe of the down town business district is blamed for the Friday bus slump. The number of two-car families and the number of people taken to town by neighbors and friends were other reasons given for drop in bus traffic. , STRICTLY FROM UNGER DETROIT (UP)-Clty Auditor Irvine J. linger said today city employes apparently think Detroit needs money more than the fed eral government. Ungcr said the city received about 100 federal in come tax returns from mixed-up Detroiters, but "somebody else thought of the Income tax first." Maple a Candidate Howard Maple, now manager of the Coos County Chamber of Com merce, is the former Salemite applying for the position. Also slated to meet with the commission is Floyd G. Lawrence, manager of the Clackamas County Fair. Friday will find a number of producers and agents, interested in producing the night revue ap pearing before the commission. Applicants for the position of executive secretary and manager who met with the commission Tuesday included Harold Clarno, manager of the Coos County Fair; Joe Varner, Gaston, of the Wash ington County Fair; Carl Hawley, Mr. Talent of TV; Bill Duggan, former manager of the Portland Auditorium: W. H. "Mike" Payn ter, manager of the Tillamook County Fair; Harold Colgan, presi dent of the North Marion County Fair; Jewctt A. Bush, manager of the Columbia County Fair; and Jack Hampton, of radio station KPAM and FM. In interviewing the men the commission asked them if they were aware of the fact that the manager's salary had only been $6,000 yearly. They noted that it was already in the budget at that figure but that they hoped to be able to find a way for increasing the salary. - More harness races at the Ore gon State Fair and even night races for entertainment instead of the night revue was advocated by a group from the Northwest Trot ting Association, which met with the commission. One more employe of the State Fair this week submitted her resignation. She was Mrs. Darwin (Marjory) Caspell, office secre tary. It it to become effective April 29. Mrs. M. C. Buchanan, Salem, will be superintendent of the tex tiles division this year, Commission Chairman Jack Travis said.
