Credit for saving the Valley
View Baptist church is being show-
ered upon its pastor, Ed Sanders,
who, practically alone, extinguish-

last Monday morning during a
storm.
Sanders was awakened by a
loud clap of thunder and, looking
out, he saw that the church had
been struck by lightning.
He called his neighbors, the
Roses and others and then began

According to one estimate, it ap-
pears that by 1958, it will take a
fuel of about 95 octane to get top
performance out of 90 per cent of

In grandfather’s time, 210 hours
were needed to produce as much
as a workman does today in 40
hours, thanks to petroleum-pow-
ered machines.

In observance of week of pi

150 wells have ever been drill

these wells were drilled last yea
SEARCHERS TAKE BIG RISKS—
At first glance, this picture
might be mistaken by science fic-
tion fans for a moonscape. In-
stead, it’s an earthscape, with a
pair of geologists in the fore-
ground exploring for oil.
Even today, the search for oil
involves high adventure, for the
ultimate outcome remains in doubt
until petroleum actually begins to
flow. Geology and geophysics, ev-
en paleontology, are used by mod-
ern searchers for oil, but with the
best techniques yet devised only1
about one well in nine actually
produces oil. The American oil
industry risks gigantic sums of
money each year on “wildcat” or
exploratory wells. Only by taking
such risks can new oil fields be
discovered.
OIL MAKES FARM WORK EASI-
ER — There are still a few old-
timers around who can remember
the ox-pulled plow, the horse-
drawn harrow, or the hand pump
between the kitchen door and the
barn. It’s these senior citizens who
know best, perhaps, the miracle
that oil has worked on the farm.
Probably the earliest use of oil
on the farm was the kerosine
lamp, which replaced candles, or
light from the fireplace in the
wintertime, as illumination.
But the most revolutionary im-
provement brought by oil to A-
merican farms was the early trac-
tor, which replaced and made
obsolete the horse drawn combines
which were common sights as late

as World War I.
Oil came of age in agriculture
between the two World Wars.
Gasojine taxes provided fundp
for rapid construction of trans-
continental highways and farm-
to-market roads, many of them
surfaced with asphalt, a petroleum
product. Mechanized farm equip-
ment replaced the horse and the
mule, making farm work easier.
Modem kitchen equipment and
other household tools also remov-
ed much of the drudgery from
the tasks of the farm wife.
Today, American farmers put
more petroleum power to work in
their tractors, trucks, automobiles,
and other farm machinery than
is consumed by all other indus-
tries in the nation.
