Hearty Response
To Fund Appeal
The Rotary members, at their
meeting Tuesday, contributed c
total of $100 to a fund to care for
refugees in Hong Kong. The need
was outlined by President of .he
Club, William Lamme, and the gen
erous contribution resulted when
the hat was passed
Cmdr. Harry Metke, Command
ing Officer of the Patrol Squadron
VP 28, was the guest speaker. He
outlined the history of the Squad
ron, its duties and functions, in an
informative talk.
The Squadron, he said, came
here from Hawaii in June of this
year. They were known as the
“Hawaiian Warriors.” Each Squad
ron has an identity of its own, he
said. Officers are young in age
and experience. Many of them
come right out of training centers.
The principal function of the pa
trol to give training to pilots and
co-pilots and ground personnel. He
contrasted Hawaii as a training
area with that of Kodiak Flying
conditions there are near perfect,
whereas here wind, fog, and ad
verse weather conditions offers the
pilot experience in instrument fly
ing. The latter was important in
the pilots bag of tricks.
The plane used is the P^V, con.
nonly known as the Neptune. He

spoke highly of this p:;me, but
stated it required considerable
training to develop skills, and get
the most out of this aircraft. New
pilots are constantly being added
to the Squadron.
Most of the work of the Squad
ron consists of reconnaisance in
the Bering and Arctic Sea areas.
A study is made of ice conditions
and the weather. Flight time is
thus earned by the personnel.
Cmdr. Metke concluded his talk
by saying he enjoyed his duty
here, and hoped someday to come
back to Alaska for a vacation
Captain Allen, Commanding Of
ficer at the Naval Station was also
present.
The Rotary members voted to
sponsor a dinner for the local
school teachers. No date has been
set for the event.

Oil Progress Week* lasts
all through the year at Standard
Finding new oil is vital. By 1965 America’s
needs will rise 20%. To locate additional
oil deposits, Standard geologists explored
33 states and 40 countries last year on foot,
in planes and even in specially designed
“swamp buggies” (above). As a result, we
found substantial new reserves for your
future use ... this is Oil Progress.
Producing oil for more and more uses led
us to far places . . . even to man-made
“islands.” Last year, in the Western Hemi
sphere alone, Standard drilled 107 test wells
—many in remote spots. But even with
new sources harder to find we added nearly
three times as much oil to reserves as we
took from the ground... this is Oil Progress.
Standard puts oil to work for belter living
in hundreds of products . . . asphalt roads
for safe, comfortable driving; gasolines, oils
and tires; wrinkle-resistant fabrics; stronger
plastics; detergents to make housework
easier; wax for candles and food cartons;
plant foods; even cosmetics, salves and
ointments . . . this is Oil Progress.
Research in oil promises new products...
plastics strong as steel ;(n^w synthetic fibres;
better insecticides. Even commercial atomic
power is closer with new Standard-devel
oped oils. In atomic machinery they last
two to three times longer under radiation
that makes some petroleum oils hard enough
to drive nails ... this is Oil Progress.
* October It, to 20 is Oil Progress Week, a reminder that 15,000 oil industry
researchers produce an average of six new inventions every working day.
