Las Vegas Readies
Helldorado Week
Las Vegas, Nev. flJ.R)
There is excitement In the air
as Las Vegas prepares to cele
brate its 18th annual Helldor
ado Week, May 15-18.
The town is working up a
head of steam which will bust
out all over when spring comes
to the desert and Helldorado
brings back the rowdy pictur
esque days of the early west
with parades and pageantry, ro
deos, a beard-growing ' compet
ition, beauty contests and square
dancing in the main thorough
fares. Designed to perpetuate the pio
neer spirit and customs of front
ier times in Nevada, the occa
sion will find almost the entire
populace looking like cowpokes
and their womenfolks in from
the hinterlands, dressed in their
western best.
Helldorado revolves around
its main events, the oldtimcr's
parade, beauty parade, chil
dren's parade, nightly rodeos,
the whiskerino contest for ex
cellence in beards, beauty comp
etition among the women and
constant merriment in a spec
ially constructed Helldorado vil
lage with all the amusements of
county fair.
The oldtimcr's parade finds
old animal-drawn vehicles of
many descriptions, reclaimed
from the Umbo of the past, Jolt
ing down the main street in a
picturesque two-mile procession
of covered wagons, stagecoach
es, buggies, buckboards and the
like.

Copenhagen, Denmark (U.R)
A military committee with
far-reaching authority has been
appointed to prepare Denmark's
defense against atomic, biologi

Members of the committee are
eight officers from the army,
navy and air force and one from
the medical corps. The chair
man is Maj. Cen. V. Bennike, a
resistance leader known as the

German occupation.
The committee was author

as well as from private citizens
concerning problems related to
defense againsf atomic, biologi

Farm and Town Cooperation . . .
An ideal pattern of coopera
tion In farm woodland develop
ment has been formed and put
to work by the Puyallup (Wash
ington) Chamber of Commerce,
and forestry agencies of indus
try and government. It will work
anywhere.
The objective is encourage
ment of productive woodland
management in Pierce County.
The plan is to foster a spirit of
self-help, mutual support, and
community action through all
groups that are concerned with
the county's forest future and
want action to increase wood
land returns..
The method of the plan, the
Chamber and the forestry agen
cies have agreed, is simplicity,
itself.
First, the woodland owner
makes formal request in writing
to the Puyallup Chamber of
Commerce for assistance in set
ting up a practical program for
his tree lands. Then the Cham
ber assigns a listed "service" for
ester to the applicant, for analy
sis of the woodland In relation
to the farm's whole economy, -In
the Fiald . . .
Moving on in agreement, the
forester and the owner recon
noiter the property, taking due
note of its condition, capabili
ties, present use, timber inven
tory, stocking condition, soil pos
sibilities, protection problems,
and general overall possibilities
of growth and development. In
all this the human element is a
powerful factor. The forester
needs to respond sympathetical
ly to the farmer's wants and to
visualize the work of the wood
land in ways to fit the farmers's
Ideas into the final action plan
to be recommended.
A first question in any farm
woodland owner's mind is just
what can be expected from bis
trees in Immediate cuttings.
products and financial returns.
And then: what are the most
suitable logging methods for the
woodland: what about logging
contractors; what other details of
harvesting arid marketing an
immediate crop are in view?
Cooperation . .
Next, the owner indicates just
what steps of good forestry he
can take, immediately and in
long range, how much work he
can do personally, how many
others he can depend on for the
job. Lastly, he agrees that in ac
cepting service of the forester
and assistance from the Chamber
of Commerce, he will adhere to
the recommendations and plans
that are agreed on between
them.
Now farmer and forester are
ready for the drawing up of a
management plan embodying the
results of inspection, analysis
and conference. The plan must
set forth specifically the condi
tion of the property, what can
be expected from management,
what is needed to develop the
woodland in the way of immedi
ate returns and for permanent
rotation of production and
growth.
The forester completes his
draft of the plan, reviews it with
the landowner, and with the lat
ter's acceptance reports the plan
to the Puyallup Chamber .of
Commerce.
Approved by its Farm Wood
land Forestry Committee, the
Puyallup Chamber of Commerce
swings In to support the newk
unit of its farm woodland pro
gram for as long as agreement is
kept on productive forestry
practices.

Many people write US such comments as this: "I've heard people talk against big companies like you. Lately I've been reading
your statements about bigness. Am I supposed to be glad you're big?"
The answer to this question depends on your answer to certain others. "Big business" often gets the blame for many
things, so that some people have come to feel that bigness itself may be bad. But in making up your own mind on this
proposition, it's well to consider the good tha,t comes from this same bigness.
Do you like new and bettor
thinga? Standard haa spent
over 135,000,000 on reaearch
and technical service in the
last 5 years, developing new
products, improving existing
ones, making new raw mate
rials for other manufacturers.
The benefita are all around
you. Yet only when allowed to
grow big, by serving you bat
tar, can we take on the work
and risk involved.
Do you like a bargain? You're getting one in gasoline. Whila
the cost of living is up about 47 in the last 26 years, gasoline
ia np less than 4 ' "r, except for taxes. (And it's better gas; 2 gal
lons now do work that then took 3.) Why? Largely because of
competition among big oil companies.
Are you slad you hav the conveniences of thi 'machine a?'
They depend heavily on oil. You're assured an ample supply of oil by
the enterprise of big companies like Standard. We seek out new crude
reserves, in this country and abroad, with exploration that may cost
millions before the first gallon is found. We can do jobs this big only
because ue are big.
Do you want to keep your country strong? Our fighting men are backed by
the world's greatest production capacity. It takes big companies to keep defense
goods in full supply. Standard is at work for our government on aviation gasolinea,
atomic reaearch, synthetic rubber, and other vital project.
Obviously, there are countless ways to express the benefita you gain by our big.
nesa . . . countless questions we could ask, to which you'd probably answer "yea"
just as readily. And if you like the things that bigness brings, the answer to tha
question ws started with is the same. You can be glad we're big.
