M-G-M NEW YEAR
FOR MASAIS AT
CAPITOHHEATRE,
When MGM sent a location com
pany. headed by stars Deborah Kerr,
Stewart Granger and Richard Carl
son, to Africa for the filming of
"King Solomon’s Mines,” now play
ing at the Capitol Theatre, they
made a lasting impression on the
native tribesmen.
This was particularly true of the
ferocious Masais, known as the lion
killing, blood-drinking warriors of ;
Kenya. The Masais traditionally re- i
cord time by significant events, j
such as "the year of the earthquake"
or "the time of the forest fire.” Now
they have recorded 1950 as "the
year of the coming of Metro, Gold- ;
wyn and Mayer!”

MCCOY HERE
C. L. McCoy from Anchorage ar
rived on PNA yesterday* and is
staying at the Baranof Hotel.
“What are you doing I
to save our oil resources?”
People are concerned these days about America's supply of crude
oil. They say, “If petroleum resources are beginning to run out, we ought
to be careful to make them go as far as possible. What are you big companies
doing to save our oil resources?"
Here’s the answer to that question. Known crude oil reserves are
actually 30 % greater today than in 1940. And in addition to making new dis
coveries, the oil industry—Standard Oil Company of California along with
others—is making each well and each barrel of oil yield more and more. Competi
tion makes us produce and refine efficiently. Here are some of the ways 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, but some points
seem of general interest.
We take this way of dis
cussing them for every
one. If you have a ques
tion, we urge you to write:
. “I’d Like to Know”
Standard Oil Company
of California
225 Bush Street
San Francisco 20, Calif.
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.
We also prevent waste by
tapping oil pools which used
to be out of reach. Through
research into drilling tech
niques we make holes curve,
under mountains, for example.
Time was when only natural
pressure lifted oil to the surface.
Wells often “went flat.” We
now use huge systems to pump
pressure back in, recovering
much oil formerly lost.
Latest techniques help us in
warring on waste. Standard
uses a new “electronic brain”
to cofnpute best way to drill
oil fields for greatest yield 25
years or more into the future.
Natural gas, a by-product of
oil production,wasoncemerely
wasted. But oil companies long
ago learned how to capture it,
put this energy to work, apd
conserve natural oil resources.
And research in refining
helps. In 1920, Western refin
eries were getting less than 7
gallons of gasoline from each
barrel of crude. They now get
20 gallons of far better gas.

MARCH OF TIME — JUNGLE ADVENTURE
COLOR CARTOON — LATE WORLD NEWS
M. Y. HEALTH DOCTOR
RETURNS FOR DUTY IN
FAR NORTHERN WATERS
Dr. Hazel Blair, physician in
charge of the Alaska Health De
partment’s floating clinic, , M/V
Health, arrived back in Juneau
last week end to make preparations
for another season of medical work
in northern Alaska waters.
While bouncing around in Alas
kan northern coastal waters on the
lOj-foot converted army barge is
not looked upon as a luxury assign
ment by anyone, Dr. Blair said she
was "glad to be back for work.”
Maternal and child health problems
are among the work stressed in
the generalized health program of
the marine units.
"Not only,” she said, "do the
mothers seek advice and aid in
care of themselves and their chil
dren, but the fact that they earn
estly attempt to lollow it has been
one of the most gratifying results
of the health ship's work in remote
areas where no medical help has
ever before been available to the
residents.
Taking advantage of the time
the M/V Health was in drydock
this winter. Dr. Blair took post
graduate work in pediatrics and ob
stetrics at Cook County hospital in
Chicago, and in medicine at the
Los Angeles General hospital.
The M/V Health, which had its
first complete overhaul this win
ter after two years service along
Alaska’s ragged northward coast
line as far up as Point Hope, is
due to begin the season'.-, work
about June 1. Seward is to be its
base of operations tills year instead
of Kodiak as previously. Dr. Blair
1 said. It is to work mainly between
Egegik and the mouth of the Yukon
river this summer.
Dr. Blair joined the Health de
partment staff in 1947 and served
as physician in charge of the M/S
Hygiene until 1949 when the M/V
Health went into service.
She took her B. A. and M. A. de
grees from the University of Col
•
orado and her medical training at
Women’s Medical College in Phil
adelphia where she afterward ser
ved an internship. She also intern
ed at Women’s and Children’s hos
pital in Chicago, and worked in
the Municipal Contagious Diseases
hospital in that city. She was
medical resident at French hospital
in San Francisco, and was medical
officer for three years with the U.
S. Public Health Service at Alder
son, W. Va.
