The current erage price for California crude oil is $2.35 per barrel. In filing the application, Re H.

W. Crill, right, of rural Anaheim, presents Howard W. Crooks with a check for $500 to apply to the cost of a new Farm Bureau building scheduled for construction in Orange. Farm Bureau Officially Gets Fund Drive for Building Under Way A program to raise $50,000 from its membership and agricultural interests in the county to be added to a like amount already available and to be used in constructing a new Farm Bureau building in west Orange, has officially got under way, county Farm Bureau officials announce. Given the privilege of receiving receipt number One was John W. (Jack) Crill of Garden Grove, who was president of the county-wide farmers' organization for three years. No other president of the group has served more than two years. He presented a check for $500.00 to Howard W. Crooke, chairman of the Major Gifts committee of the Farm Bureau. Under the regulation of the directors of the county organization, the Farm Bureau has instituted a unique program of raising all of the money for the construction before any contracts are let. Meanwhile plans are progressing on paper toward furnishing more modern offices which are designed to meet the specific purposes of the association of farm families. These facilities will include the same general office space, plus room for an insurance affiliate and a spacious auditorium with a large kitchen attached. It is expected that the auditorium will be available for other organizations to use when Farm Bureau meetings are not scheduled. The building will be located in the 1800 block of west Chapman st., Orange, on a two-acre site purchased a few years ago. Farm Bureau is a non-profit association of farmers supported by annual dues only. Its purposes are social, educational and economic and its attention is largely turned to tax and legislative matters, water problems, marketing programs, research in farm production, utility matters, and many semi-social activities involved in a series of about 50 meetings in various parts of the county each month. President of the county organization is George Kellogg, Yorba Linda.

Press is Good, At Times, VP Barkley States LOS ANGELES (UP)—"Next to the pulpit—and perhaps even more so than the pulpit—the press has the widest influence for good or evil," says Vice-President Alben Barkley. "There is no greater field for dissemination of knowledge and education of the people than the newspapers of our country," he told a journalism awards dinner last night. He said he deems it proper for newspapers to criticize public officials when they are wrong or when there is a difference of opinion. "It is also the duty of men and women in public life to criticize the press when it deserves it—and sometimes it does," he added.

The Plymouth Oilers are the first Texas team to win the national semi-pro diamond title. They did it last year, taking seven straight games in the Wichita, Kan., tourney. The Phillips Oilers have won many national AAU basketball championships. These teams operate in a similar manner. Their athletic performers are regularly employed members of the firm. The Sinton Oilers made the jump from obscurity to national prominence, in less than three years. It was in March, 1949, that the Sinton office of the oil company received an okay from its head office to sponsor a semi-pro baseball club. Then they began construction of a fine baseball park. It accommodates 2400 and is lighted by a total of 240 lamps of 1500 watt voltage. Last season 24,936 paying fans witnessed 40 regular season games.
