Most of the accident drivers

Titers'!! Always
a "Gaw'cer"
"Harry the Hermit," an he's
called, came into town last werk
and, as usual, caused quite a stir.
He looks like a cross between Santa
Claus and Daniel Boone.
We had a friendly glass of beer
together and I asks him, "Don't
you ever get annoyed at the way
some people luugh and stare as you
go by?" "Shucks no," Harry says.
"Only while they're laughin' at
me, I'm feclin' a mite sorry for
them. Imagine folks so ungrown
up they can't see I'm really just
the same as they are underneath."
From where I sit, Harry's a lot
more "civilized" than the people
who make fun of him. IIl's con
tented, lives the way he believes i.
right without harming nnyone
und what's more, he's tolerant t
others wliose tastes in living 1
different from his.
Maybe we all don't look tlio same,
or act the same, or eat or drink tlu
same, but in a free country, why

1. It CMts planting time in half.
You get your crops in on time in spite of
hu6 weather or late seasons. The new, faster John
Deere-Van Brum Grain Drill plants accurately
at 6 M.P.H. in favorable field conditions . . . can
be pulled 15 M.P.H. or faster on highways.
2. drills more accurately.
The new, lowwheel design improves ac
curacy. As a result of the shorter seed drop, seed
is spaced more even!? in the rows. New deflector
scrapers, on single disk openers, reduce throwing
of dirt at high speed-Thus, seed is covere4 with
a uniform blanket of soil.
3. makes drilling an easier job.
A short-turning radius makes this drill
more maneuverable. The low box is easy to fill.
Attaching parts adapt the drill for operation with
hydraulic Powr-Trol with which you can raise or
lower furrow openers or regulate drilling depth
with a touch of your hand.
4. will last years longer.
It's built throughout for long service.
Rubber-tired wheels cushion field and road
shocks reduce wear and breakage.
Be sure to ask us about the many features
of a John Deere-Van Brum Drill. See us soon.

Why Standard helps young scientists through school
The student's lamp that lights America's
future never needed to burn more brightly
than today.
During this school year, we liavc extended our graduate
fellowship program from 19 to 25 scholarships and have
increased the grants from $1,000 to $1,250, plus tuition
where it is needed. These scholarships are awarded by 14
universities to promising young scientists and engineers.
We hope some of them may later work with Standard of
California, but there is no obligation either in their choice
of studies or career.
Tilts is the eleventh year of these Scholarship Awards. It
is our sincere hope they will help develop the well trained
men and women who can best insure continued progress
for the Vi'cst and the whole United Stares.
