Wright and Mrs. G. Paxton, Mrs. Adj. Cox, Some Things Never, Never, NEVER Change ITS NOT necessarily so that a tie with tradition means a muscle-bound brain. Educa tion, for instance, is still linked by the three-Rs to the little red schoolhouse. But teachers no longer sit on one end of a log, their pupils on the other. Tra . dition has seen to it that the best survives. One generation, 30 brief years, has changed every officer in this Company. An old roster shows that. It's obvious that the men who now establish Standard policies learned their trade from the men who pre ceded them. Yet it's possible for these new men to carry on only the best tradition, Thirty years ago, Standard's chief business was supplying oil for kerosene lamps. V, here would we be now if we'd stuck exclusively to that? But on the human side in the matters of fair-dealing with customers and fellow-employees alike no change can take place in this or any other generation. From top to bottom the people in this Company sense the fact that their heritage from the past is on the human side. Stability comes from keeping abreast of economic change while realizing that human values like honesty haven't changed since the beginning. That's our link with tradition.

Rio- De Janeiro (U.R) The Brazilian government is re peating Horace Greeley's famous saying, "Go west, young man . ." as plans are pushed for exploi tation of the Amazon river basin, largest virgin land in the world today and considered by experts as possibly the largest potential arsental of strategic war materi als. The climax of the govern ment's plans came during the visit to the United States of Minister of Finance Arthur de Souza Costa and the visit here of Leon Henderson, member of the U. S. board of supplies. Agreements already have been reached by Souza Costa in Washington, and the conferences here with Henderson - are ex pected to lead to exploitation of the vast territory of 2.500,000 square miles, rich in native pro ducts such as rubber, mahogany, ebony, rosewood nuts, carnauba wax a substitute for beeswax tanning extracts and gum. In addition the basin is rich in almost all materials produced in other tropical lands. Experts , do not discount the possibility that the subsoil also hides a tre-1 mendous wealth In minerals, oil, coal and other products of high est importance for the demo cracies in their present war. Climate Atrocious " Thus, the Brazilian govern ment hopes that this may be the El Dorado sought by Spanish adventurers during the 16th and 17th centuries. It is hoped that cultivation of this land and in-1 dustrializatlon of the remaining country, especially in the south-1 ern states, will nlftre Rrnzil I amnrttf tha (itfrh.Hn1.lni, nm..- ) The present population of the Amazon basin, which spreads from Colombia and Venezuela in the north to the frontiers of Paraguay In the south, and from the frontiers of Peru and Bolivia in the west to the Atlantic coast on the east, is calculated at about 2,000,000 persons about one person for each three-fifths of a square mile. Climate, Jungle and disease have been principal factors in maintaining the low standard of living in the area. The climate the year around is a sweltering heat with much moisture. Settlements such as the. principal cities and organ ized farms like that of the Ford Motor company rubber planta tion call for a special medical corps and large numbers of workers to clear the Jungle. The government believes, however, that concentrated effort can clear the Jungle rapidly, thus allowing a more bearable life for the white man. Around Rapids Belem and Manaos are the principal cities of the Amazon basin. Belem, capital of the state of Para at the mouth of the Amazon river, is the outlet for the basin and it is hoped that with the development of the basin it will become one of the principal export ports of South America. Manaos, popularly termed "pearl of the Amazon," is capi tal of the state of Amazonas and is the principal coordination base for all efforts In the basin's development. Transportation is easy In most parts of the basin due to the Amazon river's many tribu taries, although a railroad has been constructed around the Ma deira river rapids, thus permit ting Bolivia an outlet to the At lantic ocean. A government official told the United Press that exploitation of the basin Is one of the biggest enterprises ever undertaken by man. The plan calls for trans forming the world's biggest Jungle into one of the world's kteatest production centers.
