Group Returns
From Exposition

daughter Dorothy and Mrs. Kay
Willing of St. Cloud, Minn., a

turned from a four day trip to

tended the Golden Gate Inter
national exposition on Treasure

On their -return trip, the
group visited in Stockton and
Sacramento, Calif.
The
whole world
leaped into
the collar
EhCENTLY ONE of our
. oil wells in far-off Saudi
Arabia caught fire. We think
you'd like to know how the
whole world responded to that
emergency in exactly the fash
ion old-time fire-horses used to
leap under the harness at the
sound of the alarm.
Another company, drilling
within a few hundred miles,
offered its aid, and still another
in near, yet distant Iran, put its
equipment at our service. Cables
clicked and wires hummed as
officials in the San Francisco
home office sought the fore
most oil well fire-fighter in the
country. A Texan; he flew to
California to confer with our
r-.'ople.
He would, he agreed, pick up
two assistants in Texas the next
day, take the Atlantic Clipper
and catch Imperial Airways for
Bahrein Islands a "sleeper
jump" by boat from the Ara
bian field. Equipment would
probably come from Europe by
plane.
At that point the Arabian
crew put out the fire by them
sches quite a feat. But it a'.I
shows why oil well fires once
a wasteful commonplace sel
dom happen nowadays. Waste
is something against which the
oil imluiry, the world over,
has taken a common front. And
w aste like oil well fires
is "out." '
