"COURTESY WEEK" BY KIWANIS CLUB Rev. M. E. Bollen, pastor of the First Baptist church of Fullerton was today's speaker before the local Kiwanis club at the weekly luncheon meeting in the Elks' clubhouse. He spoke on "Sawdust and Shavings", discussing the principles underlying Kiwanianism. One of the greatest forces in the world, he said, was atmosphere. Ages ago it determined that authratic coal should be formed in one section and bituminous in another. Somebody had said that a diamond was only a chunk of coal that stayed on the job. It enabled one section to produce cotton, another valencia orange, a third wheat, etc. Discussing plans for Courtesy Week, next week, President A. B. McCord said that Rev. J. A. Gelsinger, pastor of the White Temple, had arranged a special service next Sunday evening for Kiwanians. The service will include tenor solos by M. Eugene Durfee, instrumental solos by Bert Steelehead and selections by a male quartet. Seats will be reserved for the 150 Kiwanians expected and Kiwanians will act as ushers. William T. Wallop told of the opportunity that was presenting itself to obtain great artists to sing and play in Anaheim at concerts which are being planned. At least 25 of the 186 guarantors required can be secured from the club, it was indicated. It was decided to join with the other Kiwanis clubs of the county in an exhibit at the Orange show.

April 10.—"There has been an enormous spread of 'every form of superstition since the war' in an exclusive interview with International News Service today dealing with the belief held by some that Lord Carnarvon's strange death was due to a curse of the ancient Parahs. He continued: "When superstition springs up and spreads among highly civilized people then, I think, unless it is checked, it generally precedes their fall. In the last days of the greatness of Rome there was an outbreak of every form of superstition." "If men are to be at the mercy of elementary or evil powers of an undefined nature the lot is indeed a wretched one. Life would be one long terror. In the minds of all the reasonable men there is a stern line to be drawn between fact and romance." Advices from Calro attributed the Lord's death to infection following the bite of a mosquito upon the cheek. The Egyptologist was said to have lived in deadly fear of mosquitos. A personal friend in a letter printed in the Morning Post, told of several incidents to show Lord Carnarvon's dread of mosquitos. He had a liking for a particular hotel in Paris, but refused to visit it after having been bitten there by a mosquito. During a trip to South America he went duck hunting in a marshland alive with insects. Lord Carnarvon borrowed a horse, rode to the nearest railway, hired a special train and rode to Buenos Aires. There he took the first ship for London, saying he would not remain in a country where there were so many mosquitos.

Berkenstock,, Mr. and Mrs Fred Cline, Mr. and Mrs Joe Monroe, Mr. and Mrs Lisle Morehous, Mr. and Mrs Lewis Edwardson, Mr. and Mrs E. E.

The program of the afternoon was opened by Mrs Swan of Anaheim who sang a group of songs, which included "I Hear a Thrust at Eve," "Gypsey Serende," and "Caroline." Mrs Theresa Patterson of Pasadena, a great lover and student of bird life was then introduced and gave a very interesting and pleasing talk on California birds, their habits, workings and characteristics, which was heard with a great deal of interest. Miss Winters, a young girl whistleblower, on account of the lack of storage and the pipe line facilities overtaxed, the Shell Company of California has been compelled to cut its out put at Signal Hill from 54,000 barrels to 24,000 barrels. It seems that the shipping facilities also come in for some of the cause of the cutting down of production Oil from Signal Hill cannot be carried from the field to the ships at San Pedro fast enough to take care of the big production. Nor are there enough tankers in commission to take care of the production. It seems that the demand on the Atlantic Coast for oil is most encouraging and would possibly take care of the present overproduction were it possible to get the oil to the ships and ships enough to take care of it. In spite of the heavy production and the inability to take care of it the fields of Southern California operators do not entertain any ideas of further reductions in the price of crude oil. An example of what may be accomplished in the way of renewed well the Bartholmae Oil Syndicate at Long Beach redrilled and deepened its No. 1 to 4341 feet and got in place of a small producer an 1800 barrel well producing 28 gravity oil. The Bartholmae Oil Syndicate pioneered the deep production on Top of the Hill and is entitled to the success it has just achieved. The Exchange Petroleum Company is another demonstration of what the Signal Hill field has in store for the operator that will put his well down to the deep sand. Redrilling and deepening Exchange Petroleum No. 1 to 4110 resulted in a 1000 barrel well producing 29 gravity oil. Interest is now centering on the Lynes Oil Syndicate as its wild cat well on the extreme northwest section of the field gets into the deep zone. Drilling has passed the 4300 mark and so far there have been no showings of any special importance. The Lynes Oil Syndicate deep test well for the Clark Oil Company at Richfield. borrowed a horse, rode to the nearest railway, hired a special train and rode to Buenos Aires.
