Hit & Miss
By WILMA ALLARD
If the good neighbor policy on-
ly needed a prod from the lo-
cal angle to keep nailing our
nomination for 1eadi14 contend-
er in doing a little more than
duty demands is our neighbor C
K Clark and his neighbor Ly-
man Lockett Of course we would
include our other neighbors but
these two while mowing their
yards keep right on going and
mow the alley the next yard
and the nextthen C K just to
keep every thing neat even
burns the trash in our burner
Mighty nice to see the expan-
sion of Irma's shopshe will be
moving soon into the building
formerly occupied by Ebner's
and will have antiques for sale
to attract visitors she says even
though she may not sell many
what woman can resist "just
looking" vihen she sees an An-
tique sign then tourists are
bound to ask about a good place
to eat or where they can buy a
certain brand of gasoline or
some such so Irma can direct
them to other businessesnice
idea don't you think and an-
other good neighbor gesture
While we're thinking of it
when the Keystone dam goes in-
to construction many people will
be looking for small business lo-
cations big industry sites (we
hope) and nice quiet communi-
ties to bring up their children
why don't we try to attract B5
many of these prospects as pos-
sible?let's begin by cleaning
up cur cwr block work with our
neighbors and conte5t the next
block to see who does the best
jobwe might as well profit as
a fringe area of the lake even
though we won't be close enough
to smell the fishthe least we
can get out of it is a nice clean
town and who knowsthat may
well be one of our biggest as-
sets While Andy and Phil Kraker
were gone to market their wives
Gloria and Pauline worked at the
store every daynow that the
boys are back the girls are hard
to get rid ofthey liked the idea
of a baby sitter so they could
enjoy the company of customers
and go out for coffee breaks just
like the boys
Ona Minor and her two daugh-
ters and Jimmy Cook and her
two little ones were out begging
last Saturday but not for them
selvesthey were hunting flower-
ing plants and found an abun-
dance at Sarah Sebrings who gen-
erously dug up good dirt and all
sc the girls would have good luck
with their projectthe project be-
ing the semi-circle of ground
just in front of the swimming
pool bath house where the flow-
ers were planted for the enjoy-
ment of allcultivation of the
plot was the work of many hands
because several boys going by
madb the mistake of indulging
their curiosity and wound up dig-
ging like madat any rate flow

Scientists Are
To 011-Bearing
Oil scientists are counting mole
cules and atoms these days in an
attempt to identify rocks that
might have generated petroleum
eons ago
Ellk E Bray and Ernest D
Evans researchers at Magnolia
Petroleum Company's Field Re-
search Laboratory in Dallas re-
ported on the new clue to oil find-
ing before the Fifth World Petrol-
eum Congress New York yes-
terday Summarizing resi:lts of a pro-
ject that brought samples of un-
dersea mud oil-bearing rocks
and crude oil from all over North
America and from as far away
as Sumatra the Mobile scientists
described how delicate tests had
detected the presence of certain
types of paraffins in nearly all
samples In recent underwater
sediments where oil may be in
the earliest formation stages
a strange preference for odd-numbers
of carbon atoms
In oil samples and those from
rocks believed to have originated
oil The leanings toward oddnum-
hers of carbon atoms disappear-
ed Molecules carried carbon at-
oms in even and odd-numbers in
nearly equal ratios
The two scientists believe that
part of the oil began with recent-
ly formed compounds of hydro-
gen and carbon having a high pro-
portion of molecules with odd-
numbers of carbon atoms Dur-
ing the course of time these
were probably diluted by other
hydrocarbons moving in from
other rocks or being generated in
the same place by unknown pro-
cesses Finally in source rocks
the ratio between molecules con-
taining odd and even-numbers of
ers are now blooming in a former
bare spot thanks to some other
"good neighbors"

Seeking Clues
Rock's Origin
carbon atoms got into fairly close
balance
The researchers believe that the
shift may provide a clue to lo-
cating sl-called ''source rocks"
These are rocks that were first
laid down as sediments mixed
with dead sea life and other or-
panic material The oil was form-
ed over the long ages of the time
during which the sediment was
compressed The petroleum in
