THE OCEAN FLOOR IS THE NEWEST FRONTIER in

Last year Standard's scientists explored millions of acres offshore

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.

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. She
had been named to the position by
Leo Spitzbart prior to his resigna
tion and takes the place vacated
by Mrs. Edna Ullman.
