(U.R) A lit tle fluid Yankee ingenuity was all it took to straighten out a 250,000-gallon storage tank that got knocked out during a flood. - The huge tank was raised from its foundation by rising water and when the floods subsided the tank was left completely askew with a serious list. Flans for jacking up the tank and excavating beneath it were discarded on the belief the con tainer wouldn't be able to take the strain. Likewise, efforts to sink the tank back to its founda tions by filling it with water were unsuccessful because it didn't settle evenly. The solution: A dike was con- struced and an artificial lake was watered in to bouy up the tank which was hauled to one side while repairs were made to the foundations. Then it was floated back to the foundations and when it was exactly over them, the artificial pond was drained and the tank dropped into sturdy and solid position once again. Church Rector Drives Bus lor Children Rochester, N. Y. U.P.) Msgr. Richard K. Burns never dream ed while serving nine years as vice rector of the North Ameri can College in Rome that some day he would be driving a bus. But he found it necessary af ter he returned here to become pastor of St. Thomas Catholic Church parish. When the- parish school ob tained two buses and put them into service transporting pupils, some difficulty was encountered in procuring drivers. When one quit, Msgr. Burns took it upon himself to learn bus operation from a Rochester Transit Corp. driver. Then the Catholic pastor took over the wheel for a few weeks until a new driver could be ob tained. He drove 14 miles daily transporting 144 youngsters to and from school. "I never learned how to do this in Rome," he commented. ' In . exploratory drilling, only one well in five produces oil.
