By 1965 America's needs will rise 20. To locate additional oil deposits, Standard geologists explored 33 states and 40 countries last year on foot, in planes and even in specially designed "swamp buggies" (above). As a result, we found substantial new reserves for your future use . . . this is Oil Progress. Producing oil for more and more uses led us to far places . . . even to man-made "islands." Last year, in the Western Hemi sphere alone, Standard drilled 107 test wells many in remote spots.

One group claims owls should be protected because they eat vermin. The other faction holds that those little howlers also eat chickens . . . and should be shot. Now Pops Parker claims both parties are right. All owls clean up vermin. Some owls also clean out an occasional hen yard. The way to spot a bad owl, ac cording to Pops, is to put up a 10-foot pole in the chicken run with a No. 2 trap on it. A ma rauding bird generally perches to look over the situation before he strikes, giving you your evidence, and the culprit! From where I sit, I doubt If this will end the owl argument Peo pie have different opinions on the subject -just as they have dif ferent opinions about whether beer, tea or what-have-you makes the best thirst quencher. Examine the facts and make up your own mind, I say . . . and be thankful we live where that's possible.
