Former Anaheim Residents Enjoying Extended Vacation from Trinidad Recently newspaper headlines blazed the news that Trinidad's first undersea well was drilled at Guapo by the Kern Trinidad Oilfields, Ltd. This happened during the latter part of March. Soon after that, the man in charge of operations on that well left Trinidad for a well-deserved two month vacation. That man was Ed Ward, drilling superintendent for the Kern Trinidad Oil Fields, Ltd. Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs. Ward, the former Allene Adams of Anaheim, were entertained at a dinner party in the home of Mrs. Sallie Maude Adams, 416 S. Olive st. Ward was raised in Los Angeles and when he left for Trinidad in March of '49, it was his first trip out of the States. Mrs. Ward was born and raised in Anaheim. Trinidad is English territory and the Ward's have lived in a completely English-ized colony since their arrival there. On the social aspects of their life they commented that they spend their time at bridge, tennis and golf. The oil company has its own social clubs. There is absolutely no social life between the majority Negro population and the British or Britishized Americans. Their child field has been inactivated, but the natives still remember the high wages they received from the Americans. Standards of living in Trinidad are very poor. For a period a communistic socialism ran rampant through the colony, headed by Butler, a Negro, who was, the Ward's comment, mostly a rabble-rouser. He was elected to the legislature by his large following and he now sits with his hands tied by usual overwhelming majority against any of his policies. Lately he has been losing favor with his followers because he isn't following through on the promises he made. Mr. Ward stated that the unions in Trinidad are very strong. The latest in modern equipment is used, but since the devaluation of the pound, the cost of living has raised considerably. Prospects for drilling farther out in the Gulf appear to be fairly promising, according to a newspaper account from Trinidad. To date, there is only one well, producing about 150 barrels of oil a day. The discovery of undersea oil is a Godsend to Trinidad. For several years companies in that district have been looking for new sources, working under the conviction that present oil sources. GOLDEN WEDDING anniversary Mrs. H. V.

MUCH TO TELL—Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ward, visiting here after two years residence in Trinidad, had many interesting stories to relate at the dinner party given in their honor Saturday evening by Mrs. Ward's mother, Mrs. Maude Adams.

Children are all sent to private schools, where, it is claimed, there is no play, but all work. Natives generally go no further than the 5th standard. Grades are not grades in Trinidad, but standards. The colony is largely pro-American. During the last war the Americans had a 99 year contract with the government for an airbase in Trinidad. Since then the will be exhausted within another 10 to 12 years. The Colonial Office invited applications for oil drilling off the coast of Trinidad as far back as 1937. At the time there was a disagreement over who should have the rights, the British government contending that it should be a joint-company venture. Intervention of the second World War stopped further plans for Gulf of Paria operation; but in 1945 after the end of the war, can the demarcation of Trinidad-Venezuela underseas boundaries, and in 1949 and 1950, Trinidad companies received license to go on with the marine exploration and the enterprise proved successful with the 'bringing-in' M-1.
