Santa Fe Springs, Long Beach-Signal and finally the lush Wilmington fields were tapped. Oilworkers from Anaheim pioneered and helped develop these fields. Others moved to central California and some even followed the oil trail to foreign fields.

The Bastanchury lawsuit over the oil rights of the Coyote Hills was one of the largest settlements handed down by a California court.

Many Anaheimers remember "Hap" Forbes, the oilman, whose ill-fated career touched upon the lives of several Anaheimers, directly and indirectly. Then there is Clayton Mallory, the Anaheim oilworker, who is an outstanding developer of girls' softball players. And there is Clayton Shepard, the retired oilworker, who figured in the Richfield boom. Then there are men like Ray Davis and Barney Bates who know the business from the ground up.

BUSINESS—Oil (gasoline) is a business with Pete Lehr and about 40 other Anaheim service station operators. And that doesn't count the distributors and their salesmen. SALUTE—Yes, today, the Gazetteer wishes to salute the oil part of it. We wish to pay respects to the Anaheimers who work in the oilfields, punch holes in the earth and bring the blast stuff to the surface. We wish to salute the men who refine distribute it. We want to tribute to the service stationendant and to the garage chanic, the engineer and chemist, and the physicist, too, we are constantly developing the dustry. We wish to pay our spects to the Union Oil Company for establishing its $5,000,000 search plant south of Olinda to the Standard Oil company its subsidiary, the California search Corp., for what they doing to make this a better way to live in. A book could written about the accomplishments of those engaged in the fields. NITECAPSULE — The impossible is something that hasn't borne done.
