NEWS OF FULLERTON FULLERTON STUDENT WRITES OF BALKANS The following letter received by W. T. Royce of Fullerton is from a former instructor in the local high school. Paris, October 2. Dear Mr. Boyce: If anyone should ask me 40 years from now what the most varied trip of my life had been, I believe I would say—my trip to the Balkans. The Balkans as they are today are indeed a study. You as a student of history and political science would particularly enjoy them. Thanks to my luck in studying French last Spring, and the unusual practice in talking French which I had enroute, I was able to talk with many Roumanians quite easily (most Roumanians that are educated speak French—many at home) and how I plied them with questions. Sometimes I was afraid that they would take me for a secret government agent. It was just as hard for them to understand how I happened to be with the French mission. You see the group was organized by a scheming Roumanian woman and we did not know until we got to Roumania that we were to be government guests. After she had organized the party she got the idea of having the Roumanian government pay all of the expenses. The fact is that the latter government paid all of my expenses from Naples via Athena, Constantinople, to Constanza and all over Roumania my visits through Czecho-Slovakia and Germany and my railroad fare back to Paris. Forty-two of us who are "doers" were sent back by rail at government expense, as the directress had promised to get us back October 1, and the more idle ones get here October 12, by boat. I can't tell you anything particularly new about Athens (except never to go their in the summer time) nor Constantinople. The latter city is certainly going to draw me back some day whereas once is enough to see Athens, at least for me. Constantinople just teems with life and is anything but monotonous. In Roumania we found the railroad system almost ruined by the war. Picture miles upon miles of abandoned passenger coaches, freight cars and engines—all shot to pieces—wrecked. We had no train service. START FIGHT UPON HOTEL SITE GIFT A movement has been started in Fullerton by J. W. Hetebrink and others to block the city's move to donate the site on No. Spadra-rd.. just north of the city hall for the proposed new $200,000 hotel. At a meeting of about 15 or 20 men of the opposition plans were made for obtaining an attorney to fight the proposition. friendly attitude. That region has a fine educated class of peasants with beautiful homes and furnishings. Everywhere we saw women and old men spinning. The lumber industry was seen at first hand on many occasions. At Capina we visited the great oil fields and refinery and there I asked heaps of questions. Wells are about 300 feet deep and cost little. There are over 300,000 acres of oil land there and only about 5,000 acres explored. At Bucharest we saw the big National Exposition. Everywhere there were receptions, banquets, dances, etc. At Bucarest they gave us a superb symphony concert at the National theatre. Brassou was our last stop in Roumania. The others were to be guests of the king and queen next day at Sinaya at the most beautiful spot in Roumania, but we "doers" came on our way. We were 15 hours in Prague and I got about six months of pleasure out of prying around that quaint clean beautiful and historic city. I didn't wait for the others. I just struck out and believe that I saw almost more than anyone else. Checko-Slovakia and Germany were a series of beautiful pictures; woods, mountains, pretty villages, big clean factories and peasants at work. Whereas in Roumania we saw corn, in Czecho-Slovakia and Germany we saw potatoes, miles of them just being dug. We crossed the Rhine about 7 o'clock last night and remained at Strasburg some three and a half hours. It was too dark to see much and as last night was the fifth night on the train, with about seven hours total sleep, I was a little tired. We arrived here at 7 a.m., Mr. W. J.

In Roumania we found the railroad system almost ruined by the war. Picture miles upon miles of abandoned passenger coaches, freight cars and engines—all shot to pieces—wrecks. We had special trains which the government had done its best to fit comfortably for us, but scarcely ever did we have any water on board and I should say that half of my nights were spent sitting up or lying dressed on what the French call a couchet. I can sleep like a rock rolled up in my steamer rug on the bridge of a boat, too. We took at least three trips on the Dambo and on one occasion, since the water was low and we had to go slowly, we passed a night as best we could. We found Jossey the finest educational and cultural centre. The university there is beautiful and as the city has fine buildings and many trees and stands on a hill, it appars to advantage. The population is 150,000. We visited Kicheneff, former Russian territory. Our visit was an occasion for a Bolshevist uprising and troops had to be sent out. Two Bolshevists were caught on our train. I don't know what they wanted to do there. They have a fine cathedral and had a special high mass for us and never in my life have I heard such a wonderful basso as the main singer. His voice is beyond my vocabulary limits. The Russian peasants looked at us with very rober faces. In the hotels the maids paddled around barefooted and were very quick to understand my motions. Heaps of funny things happened enroute. We had military escort all the time and while a part was permanent, some officers would be with us just a few days. At Kitcheneff a Roumanian chap from Jossey was most kind—even came to wake me in the morning—snowed me the museum and explained all about the industries. (Pine museum there by the way.) He said the peasants were slow to adapt new ways of doing things; therefore poor results. Peasant families have anywhere from dren up, and live on corn and fish chiefly. I've seen almost thousands of miles of corn. The above is about Besarabia. Almost never saw anything but oxen up there, and there was in the air, a feeling that the most of the people were poor and not very happy. Besarabia is hostile to Roumanian rule.

Travers of the Olinda Land Co. and trustee of the Fullerton union high school, spoke on the subject of perforators and screen pipe to the oil production class at the school yesterday. Mr. Travers brought some large diagrams with him, as well as some samples of performated and screen pipe. In his opening words Mr. Travers said that he intended to confine his remarks to an account of his own actual experience with perforators. Many years ago the perforator was an extremely simple affair. It consisted of a swedge with a single knife let into one side. This and similar types worked fairly well with the light "hen skin" wrought iron pipe in use at that time. As pipe had increased in weight this perforator had become very unsatisfactory and was no longer used. Mr. Travers pointed out that when a 50-foot steam is lost in a well it is usually a simple matter to fish it out, owing to its length. A tool five feet long may also usually be recovered without much trouble, but if anything a foot long is lost, it is frequently hardly worth while to attempt to fish it out and two weeks may be spent in drilling it up. In designing perforators, or anything else in their way of tools, the above should be borne in mind. "Make them long" is a safe principle. Mr. Travers went on to discuss modern types of perforators that utilize a friction trip arrangement. He described several types that he had designed and used. One particularly interesting type has a lower half carrying a friction trip and slips. The upper half carries the knife and this half slides on a dove-tailed rib on the lower half. When the trip is disengaged, the slips grip the pipe, anchoring the lower half. The upper half may then be driven down, foreing the knife intothe pipe with a positive action that ensures a perforation at that place. This action is so powerful and positive that more than one pipe may be performed with ease. Mr. Travers described instances in which he had successfully simultaneously performed two strings of pipe with this ingenious tool. On the question of using a perforator on a drilling line or on tubing, Mr. Travers said that he preferred to use tubing down to depths of about 2,000 feet; at greater depths he recommended the use of drilling line. Handling long lengths of tubing was very slow work... STREET NOT WIDE ENOUGH As Roy Neir started to enter his car on West Commonwealth ave to go to work at the oil wells a Ford car that wah running wild plunged into his Grant Six. The Ford was put out of commission and the Grant was badly damaged. Mr. Neil was bruised. As the street is 120 feet wide and as Neir's car was against the curb on the right hand side of the street, no one can account for the accident unless the driver, Arthur Morgan, was asleep while driving the car along at about a 20-mile clip. According to the number of the Ford it belongs to the Midway Petroleum Oil Co., at Richfield. Mr. Neir's car is insured. Best wishes to Mrs. Boyce and yourself and to all inquiring friends. To The Rescue IN a large number of bought out the fact that the washing handled at home day and a half—including washing. And, of course, homes where laundresses well as to homes that are for laundresses must have pipe, anchoring the lower half. The upper half may then be driven down, foreing the knife int othe pipe with a positive action that ensures a perforation at that place. This action is so powerful and positive that more than one pipe may be performed with ease. Mr. Travers described instances in which he had successfully simultaneously performed two strings of pipe with this ingenious tool. On the question of using a perforator on a drilling line or on tubing, Mr. Travers said that he preferred to use tubing down to depths of about 2,000 feet; at greater depths he recommended the use of drilling line. Handling long lengths of tubing was very slow work and the tubing got very heavy. Several questions were answered by the speaker who then passed on to give an interesting talk on screen pipe. At the conclusion of the address, Mr. Anderson, speaking on behalf of the class, heartily thanked Mr. Travers for his kindness in coming to talk to them. Mr. Travers had, he said, imparted a wonderful amount of very valuable information in his hour's talk and it had been a great treat to hear him. Mr. Travers left his diagrams and samples of pipe as a gift to the school.
