This bunch of young men consisted of aboutylO/convicts. They I were on a truck; "happy, laughing, 1 smiling, joking and having a big time generally. They were on their way back to the convict camp. They were j husky looking men, red-checked, flashing eyes, nice striped woolen clothing, and only 3 of the 10 fellows had anklets on, and they did not seem to worry about those ornaments. ( ?I suppose it's sort of bad to be a convict any time, but It couldn't be so bad under present conditions. ConI vlcts don't have to work on tax returns 4 or 5 months a year. They I don't have to rako and scrape to get enough money ahead to meet a week's pay-roll or a liability insurance policy or a rent bill or anything else. As a matter of fact, canylcts are never bothered with . bill collectors. They work 8 hours a day, mebbe, but most of their work consists of running a machine of some kind, and this is no harder on them than running the type I rwrlter I am writing this piece on. I ?Convicts don't have to worry about not being able to collect for the merchandise they (don't) sell. They are not concerned about the upkeep of the trucks and the machines they use, nor are they worried about where the next meal is coming from, or how they might obtain a new pair of shoes. They are not bothered with Insomnia, nor do they know anything about Indigestion or a torpid liver or shooting pains. They of coarse have to stay close around home, but that ain't bad: all of us ought to do morp of that. ?ConWta are not a&noyed with pedlers and agents who are always try* lng to get something for almost nothing. They are not concerned about paying Interest on what they owe, if any. Inability to ge$ tires and tubes and sugar does not distrnb them. And they don'^-wonder as to whether^ or not they will go broke this year of next year. What a happy lot. a con~2_J_ZZ -/?? ^ A For Htadacho, ' ioar Stottach .

VENEZUELA SUPPLIES OIL TO WORLD'S GREATEST PRODUCER Axis attacks on American oil taukera in tho Carrtbean have called attention to the seeming paradox: the United Slatees, largest oil producing nation in the world, has for yours been Importing millions of barrels of petroleum, mostly from Venezuela. More than 30 million, barrels of petroleum were imported front Vouesuela Into tne United Htates, in 1940," says a bulletin from tho National Cleo; graphic Society. This imported oil equalled halt the entire production of the Netherlands Indies. The tremendous flow of petroleum into the United Statoa becomes understandable when it is an oil middleman; ills exporta exceotl hit) imports. The past quarter century has seen Venezuela rise to third place in world production. In 1917, the country's fields produced 120,000 barrels; four years later, more than a million barrels. In 1923 production exceeded 100 million barrels; and in 1939 passed the 200-million mark. About three-fourths of Venezuela's oil has been produced in the northwest corner of tho country, in tho region of Lake Maracaibo, twice the sise of Lake Ontario. So rich is this region that wells have been sunk in tho bottom of the lake, some in fifty feet of water. In recent years a new field has been developing in the saat, in the Orinoco River valley. U. S. companies have leased over 3.QP0 square miles of this new Venzuelan territory. A sixteeninch pipe-line, one hundred miles long, handles much of the new out* put. ---? Petroleum Is responsible for about three.fourths of- Veneinelaa exports, with a return of some 91*0,000,000 a year to the producers. These producing companies are for the most part owned In the United States, Great Britain, and the Netherlands. Petroleum royalties, which represent the part paid to the Venezuelan government, take care of a large part of the republic's national. budget'. Oil development in Venezuela has. been of great economic value in opening up undeveloped country. Roads were cut through dank, tropical jungles, and the oil companies built schools, hospitals, and whole towns, complete with sewerage systems, gas and electric plants. Venezuela has a refinery, recently enlarged, at San Lorenzo on the shore of Lake Maracaiho In the west; and ghother has, been established at Caripito, In the east- While most Venezuelan petroleum Is exported in Its crude form, the refineries in 1940 processed some 95 millioif barrels, eighty per cent* of which passed into export trade. 7 NOTICE OF SALE Under and by virtue of sundry city paving assessment executions direoted to me by Louise W.
