Remarks of visiting military
and civilian personnel are to the
effect that Seward is certainly
not a “clip joint." Prices are the
same to everybody, according to
one young man.
Let us strive to keep that rep
utation, along with the fame
the town lias for friendliness.
This entire area, and the city,
is getting a real shot in the arm
toward the building up of a
tourist industry, by the activities
at the Army Recreation Center
this year. If we can keep the
respect of those 150 visitors
each week and build up a name
for fair dealing and friendliness,
it will not take long for it
to be noised about all over the
Territory and to the people back
home.
We have not been told yet, to
what extent the Recreation Cen
ter personnel wants the coopera
tion of the townspeople. Their
dances may be entirely invita
tional, or exclusive. But if local

residents are invited on a parti
cipating basis to help entertain
the officers and men who visit
at the Center, it will be to the
great credit of the town to help
show these people a good time.
Some of the visitors are here
to rest, and do not want to be
entertained. Sometimes a man
simply gets “fed up” with peo
ple, wants to be left alone. That
is easy to understand, and a
person in such a mood should
not be bothered nor forced to
accept entertainment.
Others, however, are eager to
make new acquaintences, and
enter civilian life for a few days.
These are the people we want
to meet, h<<lp entertain, and
make friends with. And it is
oh, so easy. Just by being your
self, anyone in Seward can find
a friend, because you are swell
people.
NOTICE TO ALL BOWLERS
There will be a general meet
ing of all bowlers Thursday,
May 31, at 8:00 p.m.
The meeting is for the elec
tion of officers for the 1951-52
bowling season and other busi
ness. The meeting will be held
at the Dreamland Bowl. All
interested please be present.

People are concerned these days about America's supply of crude
oil. They say, "If petroleum resources are beginning to run out, ue ought
to be careful to make them go as far us possible. W hat are you big companies
doing to save our oil resources{
Here’s the answer to that question. Known crude oil reserves ar
ictu; !ly :?()' ; greater today than in 1940. And in addition to making new dis
covering, the oii industry—Standard Oil Company of California along wit!
)t hers — is making eo, h well and each barrel of oil yield more and more. Cornpeti
l ion makes us produce and refine efficiently. Here are some ol the \va;. s we do it.
I’d Like
to Know...
You may have heard that
a suit has been filed by
the Antitrust Division in
Washington to break up
Standard of California as
well as six other West
Coast oil companies.
Many people have writ
ten us protesting this ac
tion, and many have
asked pertinent questions
about our activities. We
answer all letters individ
ually, hut some points
seem of general interest.
We take this way of dis
cussing them for every
one. If you have a ques
1 ion, we urge you to write:

Remember the gusher?
Years ago new wells were al
lowed to erupt. But oil men
found ways to stop this waste.
And now they extract three
new fuels from the gas mixture.
Latest techniques help us in
warring on waste. Standard
uses a new “electronic brain”
to compute best way to drill
oil fields for greatest yield 25
years or more into the future.
We also prevent waste by
tapping oil pools which used
lo be out of reach. Through
research into drilling tech
niques we make holes curve,
under mountains, for example.
Natural gas, a by-product of
oil production, was once merely
wasted. But oil companies long
ago learned how to capture it,
put this energy to work, and
conserve natural oil resources.
Time w as when only natur
pressure lifted oil to the surface
Wells often “went flat.’’ V
now use huge systems to pun
pressure back in, recover
much oil formerly lost.
And research in relim
helps. In 1920, Western r.
eries were getting less th
gallons of gasoline from
barrel of crude. They no'
