TWO MEDFOHD (OREGON) MML THIBUNE Friday, April 11. 1952 Quads Win in Battle To Stick Together On Duty With Army Seattle (U.R) The world's only male quadruplets prepared to go overseas Friday after win ning their fight to stay together In the army. The 22-y e a r-old Perriconc brothers of Beaumont, Tex., re ported to Fort Lawton here and told officers they were "ready to Join the Texas army in Korea." Sr-rgeant Carl and Privates First Claps Donald, Anthony and Bernard Perricone had been to gether since they entered the service In January, 1951. But a itw weeks ago, when they were stationed at Fort Benning, Ga., Carl received his overseas or ders. The others did not. They promptly appealed to the Army. "We don't want any favors," they said, "but we've been to gether so far and want to be to gether when we go overseas." But their requests apparently became sidetracked while going through channels. At any rate, nothing happened. The soldiers wrote a letter ex plaining the situation to their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Perricone. They, in turn, noti fied their congressman. About a week later, the brothers received overseas orders and. a 15-day furlough. Differ in Appearance Officers at Fort Lawton said Beer Ceiling Prices Are Ordered Posted Portland (U.R) Ceiling prices on beer must now be posted for customers in Oregon and south west Washington's grocery stores and taverns.

They earn more than $15,000, 000 a year. The industry has four processing plants at Yazoo City. Laurel, Brookhaven and Nat chez.l The thing which sent farmers on worn-out land qd small town dreamers alike to dancing delirious jigs began in 1039 when a college geology student per suaded drillers to test an area he had marked out. Scramble for Leases Mississippi had had producing gas wells before but the first pro ducing oil well was brought in on Aug. 29, 1939. There followed a wild scramble for oil leases and at one time in 1940 there were as many as 68 geophysical crews in the state in one month In less than four months the acre age under lease was doubled to 7,000,000 acres. Then, with a rapid decline in the number of producers brought in, the industry sobered up and settled down to systematic ex oloration. The years 1941 and 1942 were discouraging but in 1943 the jinx was broken. The Brookhaven field was dis covered in March of that year and that precipitated the discov ery of field after field until in 1944, 72 wildcats were drilled and nine new fields were dis covered a record of only eignl wildcats for each new field. Many Operations Today, more than 80 inde pendent operators and 18 major companies are active in Missis sippi and the state contains more than 1,600 producing wells. In 1950, 38,230,695. bar rels of oil were produced in ad dition' to immense quantities of natural gas. Another trail-blazing project is under way this year.
