"Distinguished
Service" in an
endless war
Men on duty in a howling gale!
Green water over the decks ! As
in Viking days ... as in wind'
jammer days . . . sailing the seas
is still no sissy business.
Vet the men of our tanker
fleet facing the hazards of the
sea have made their jobs safer
than crossing Main Street. For
this they have just received an
award from the National Safety
Council first such won by a
western oil company for "Dis
tinguished Service to Safety."
No lily-fingered affair is life
in the oil fields, either. Those
tall derricks don't grow. Those
heavy casings don't just chase
the drill down the well. Men
must put them there.
Yet our hardy drilling divi
sion has won a similar award
. . . and our natural gasoline de
partment . . . and our marine
department's inland fleet! In
fact, the honor paid our men
makes this company the first in
dustrial concern in the United
States to win four National
Safety Council awards. For this
there is a reason.
To make these and other
Jobs as safe as humanly pos
sible, our safety engineers and
Operating organization in the
oil fields have warred unceas
ingly on accident. Here they
have hemmed in danger. There
they have fenced it out. Every
where they have forced detours
on mankind's worst ill-wisher
, . , the Accident-Going-Some-where-to-Happen.
Through the years, too,
our people have become safety
conscious. They distinguish be
tween chance-taking and cour
ge. They've spotted reckless
ness as another rigged game
where you can't win.

Chandler Faces Test In
First Big League Parley
Chicago, Dec. 10 (U.PJ A. B.
(Happy) Chandler, beginning his
first major league meeting as
commisisoner, was confident to
day that the big league owners
would rally to support him as
baseball's chief executive.
The annual big league sessions
opened today with the National
and American leagues in separ
ate meetings, studying numerous
controversial proposals, includ
ing: (1) The Pacific Coast
league's request to become a
third major league, (2) the min
or's attempt to outlaw the pay
ment of bonuses to new players,
and (3) the request by the St.
Louis Cardinals and Browns and
the Washington Senators for un
limited night games in 1946. .
It was considered likely that
the big leagues would vote "no"
on at least the first two propos
als and possibly approve the
third one. But the headline
catching question was whether
they would stand behind their
new commissioner after he was
set back on his heels by the re
bellious minor leagues at Colum
bus, O., last week.
IRISH STARS OUT
OP EAST-WEST GO
South Bend, Ind., Dec. 10 (U.R)
Notre Dame university's com
mittee on absences today refused
to allow .three stars of the 1945
eleven to compete in the annual
East-West football charity game
New Year's day' at San Fran
cisco. Capt. Frank Dancewiez, Quar
terback, Right Halfback Elmer
Angsmann and Tackle Pete Ber
ezney were refused permission
to take part in the game.
The committee ruling said that
three players "missed so much
classroom work during the regu
lar season that any further ab
sences might seriously impair
their chances of making up back
work and being graduated with
their classes.

Talent Hoopers To

Talent, Dec. 10 Talent high's
Bulldogs will meet Jacksonville
here tomorrow night in a pre
season test. The Redskins report
edly have one of the strongest
teams in many years and figure
to be the scourge of the county
"B" league. Preliminary game
is set for 7:30 p. m.
According to Coach Roy Parr,
the Bulldogs are getting off to
a slow start this season but fig

The little fellows ignored his
protests against the bonus legis
lation and then clipped his veto
power over them. But Chand
ler was in good humor today,
confident that he had passed a
rough initiation since his elec
tion last April and that the ma
jor league owners were prepar
ed to support, him.
Rowland Heads Group
President Clarence (Pants)
Rowland of the Pacific Coast
league headed a five-man dele
gation today to appear before
the National and American
leagues to argue for a third big
time circuit. He needs the ap
proval of the commissioner as
well as both leagues, which meet
separately today and tomorrow
and then close out their annual
winter gathering with a joint
session Wednesday.
The general impression among
the big leaguers, however, was
that the west coast loop "is about
five years ahead of itself" and
neither had the talent nor ball
park capacities to present big
league games properly to the
fans.
Belcastro Insists
On New Referee In
Battle With Jones
At Pete Belcastro's insistance
that a new referee be employed
for his grudge wrestling match
with Rough Rufus Jones Thurs
day night, Promoter Mack Lil
lard has signed Norval Stock
still, likeable young grappler
from Talent, to handle the
chores. Stockstill is firm in his
commands to the wrestlers while
working as arbiter and is ex
pected to rule the match with
an iron hand.
Belcastro, who figures he was
given a raw deal in last week's
battle royal when he was at
tacked by Jones before the
match started, asked to meet the
Detroit darky. Jones demanded
such an unreasonable figure that
Eelcastro gave up a sizable
chunk of his purse to make the
go possible.

he purchased a 30-foot auxiliary
sailing ketch, and accompanied
by a friend, sailed from Newport.

and Olympia, and for a time as
shipfitter with the Puget Sound
Shipbuilders, Cpl. Young accept
ed a position in San Francisco
and received permission from
the navy to sail his boat down
the coast to San Francisco Bay.
Two friends accompanied the
corporal on part of the trip, one
leaving at Gray s Harbor, Wash.
and the other at Newport, where
the corporal's brother joined the
boat and completed the trip. At
San Francisco, Cpl. Young was
again met by his family.
Shortly after he was inducted
into the army and sent to Assam,
India, where he is now stationed.
Prior to going to India, his trav
els included two transcontinental
journeys across the United
