their care.
The following appeal is made
this week by Mrs. F. T. Martin,
chairman of the committee:
"Now is the time for street
tree care. A suggestion to all
residents having young street
trees is to deep water them now.
Until after spring rains come,
the ground is very dry. This care
should bring gratifying results.
"After removing all weeds
from around trees, a sawdust
mulch several inches deep
should be put on to conserve
moisture and control weeds.
Sawdust hauled in by members
of the Lions club is available
for this purpose on the north
side of Woolery Memorial park.
"Those trees that are leaning
should be staked and tied secure
ly to prevent a crooked tree.
Metal rods or pipes suitable for
tree staking should be 8 feet
long or longer. Anyone having
extra staking rods or pipe that
they would like to donate, is
asked to leave them at Barnett's
Chevron station. Cooperation by
all will be greatly appreciated."

We like doing business with Murray Black
And lie likes Standard's policy
of supporting local business
If you had an oil well out in the ocean, as Standard
often does, you'd find Murray Black a useful man.
He helps to build, and also services, underwater oil
wells and pipelines.
Murray is not a Standard employee... he's an
independent contractor, with five other deep-sea
divers on his payroll, and thousands of dollars of
his own money tied up in equipment.
He started specifically to serve Standard's offshore
drilling operations near Santa Barbara, and, from
this small, local beginning, has become one of the
busiest submarine contractors on the West Coast.
While his services are unique, he is only one of some
18,000 individual suppliers from whom Standard
buys goods and services every year. Many are small,
independent operators such as Murray Black.
Standard's purpose is to spread its purchasing as
widely as possible, so that its dollars help to build
many local businesses and communities.
Our annual shopping list is more than 50,000 items
long. As our dollars flow into your community
through local purchases, they help its whole econ
omy. And the benefit, sooner or
later, reaches out to you.
Planning ahead to serve you better
