Activities for the Brownie
Scouts were planned at a leader’s
meeting held Tuesday at the home
of Mrs .Russell Hermann.
At Mother’s Day tea will be
held May 8 at the Lavinia Wallace

table decorations, invitations, and
favors for their mothers. The
girls will also learn how to be
hostesses at a “grown-up” tea.
On Tuesday, April 6, the
Brownies will join with the Girl

placing Mrs. Pearse Walsh. Other

Roald Amundsen and Mrs. Her

First oil industry 8-hour day was introduced
by Standard in 1917. This was a major
step in our employee relations programs
which include health, pension, insurance
benefits and a stock purchase plan—95%
of eligible employees own Company stock.
On Lindbergh’s trans-Atlantic flight in 1927,
we fueled "The Spirit of St. Louis.” Now,
safer airliners, faster military planes mark
aviation progress which Standard research
has served. Today we’re making jet and
rocket fuels for tomorrow’s aircraft.
New power for transportation and industry
was born in 1935 when Standard’s first
compounded diesel lubricating oil made
high-speed diesel engines a practical real
ity. Now our scientists are working on
lubricants for the first atomic submarine.
Making housework easier, Standard made
detergents available for “soapless soaps”
in 1946. Later we produced the basic in
gredients for wrinkle-proof clothing for
men and women, adding again to the more
than 1100 products we make from oil.
We pioneered peace-time useof atomic energy.
In 1950, using radioactive piston rings,
Standard measured engine wear as it oc
curs, used this research to develop better
motor oils, including a new oil so superior
it can boost gas mileage up to 15%.

planes that crack the sound barrier.
And you live in a West undreamed of
by those 1879’ers who formed the
Company from which Standard grew.
What lies ahead? If the past is any clue,
oil will be saving you more work and
money, improving your transportation
and putting more luxury in your living.
And Standard will continue to play a
big part in this progress as we follow
our 75-year tradition of planning ahead
to serve you and the nation better.

Ex-Cons Bluff Way
Into Pen, Free Two
Before Capture
ROCHESTER, N. Y., WV—Two
armed ex-convicts who bluffed
their way into Monroe County
Penitentiary early Thursday were
speedily captured, and one of the
two prisoners they freed also was
caught.
Still at large but believed to be
in Rochester was Anthony Men
dolla, 45, who had been serving
time on a theft charge.
The gunmen tied up two guards
and made off in a guard’s auto
mobile, which they soon aban
doned.
Police said James Compton, 30,
of Du Bois, Pa., one of the pris
oners, and Paul R. Freeman, of
Rochester, accused of being one
of the gunrhen, were captured
after officers surrounded a house
in the southwest section of the
city.
An hour or two earlier, police
had picked up George R. (The
Duke) Bonner, 21, of Washington,
Pa., and accused hirn of being
one of the gunmen.
Police said Freeman and Bon
ner recently had been released
from the penitentiary.
The gunmen used a ruse to get
into the penitentiary, and after
pulling out their revolvers, tied
up the two guards and plastered
their mouths with adhesive tape.
Then they made off with Men
dolla and Compton. Compton,
whose address also was listed as
Cohocton, Ohio, was serving a
one-year term on a bad check
charge.
