Oil Progress Week lasts
all through the year at Standard
'5 t V . ,vrt- M5',
Finding new oil is vital. 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. But even with
new sources harder to find we added nearly
three times as much oil to reserves as we
took from the ground . . . this is Oil Progress.

From where I sit ... ii Joe Marsh
Barnyard "WHOOdonit"
The Barn Owl Controversy still
rages in our town. 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.

"So on August 31, 1953, he (McKay) issued
an order suspending leasing by the Bureau
of Land Management the order to remain

leasing under new regulations,"

new regulations for the first time gives the
