LOCAL SUCKERS HAVE BEEN
BITING AGAIN
?thy good pooply of flat rock seem I
to enjoy being "took In", our tAwn J
is frequently afflicted with shysters I
and agents of all kinds And deacrlp-f
, tlons, and because oi' ibo way (heoeT
'so-called good Samaritans work, theylj
| have tho advantage over the folks at I
large. j
last full a mr. judkins from aoire- J
where up north nikde a trade with I
the r< .toher moonbeams to sell stuff I
(Junk) and give them part of the pro-1
reeds, the moonbeams did not investi- I
gate what this fellow was to sell audi
what It was really worth, all they I
wanted was tho percent, so they trust-I
ed him. i
?mr. judkins bought hisself a big I
lot of cheap vanilla extract, the 1ml- I
tation kind, he paid about c7 a hot-1
tie for It, he sold It under the guise I
of the ladles aid for 1.00$ and gavel
the ladles aid cl6, and he netted fori
hisself about c83 per bottle, anyboddy I
could of bought the same stall any-1
where In flat rock for clO per bottle, J
or 3 bottles for c25. all of the other I
household stuff he pammod off was
worth about 10 per cent of what he J
got forjt.
?we have out-of-town agents, pedj I
dlers ansoforth with all manner of I
schemes to unloose folks from their I
cash, so he work with one organisation I
and some work with another . . . by I
working under the anspioes of a local I
group, these cheats Impre the adv&n-l
tage of the local citizenship to start I
with, we wont let <cur local folks
treat us wrong; bat we enjoy being
robbed by outsiders.
?our poleesmSA has asked the pubJ
lick to look Into all of these schemes I
of swindling. If anyboddy has annything
to sell, let them get a permit I
from him to do so. it looks mighty I
bad for flat rock to have to send off
to some other section of the country I
to get folks with sensd enough to rob
her people, bat mr. .art square says
we suckers all like to be stung by
strangers, the moral issue is against
us though when a local club or society
or organisation becomes a party
to the game of indirect looting. j
BY WAY OF ?0MPARI80N I
?1 saw a bunch of young white mesj
this 'morning that I could not help]
but envy. 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

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.

President Horns called on Marion
lleyman to give a report on last week's
series of llotary Understand, being
sponsored in lUshopvillo by their
club. Dr. William Solloman, a former
member of the ltolch government
prior to the rise of Hitler, and
us Mr. Solloman, who knows this man
Hitler, said he was a complete failure
lu every phase of his life, especially
in his enterprise as paper
hanger, architect und soldier. He
volunteered in 1914 as a private and
after four and a half years came out
as with the rank of Corporal. Mr.
Sollomuu is shortly to boebme a paturklizod

and reserve officer, spoke of the
school's activities and especially its
war time activities in wood and machine
work and diversified occupations
and made prophecy that school
children may have to do the work of
grown-ups. One of the main objeets is
to coordinate the hand and the mind.
Mr. McGrew brought to the club and
exhibited several articles made in
the school shop on Laurens street,
such as candle sticks, table lege,
stretchers such as are used in civilian
defense work, the duck on same
was formerly used as an awning and
was donated as was much of the other
material used. He also told that his

at the request of the United
States Navy. He also exhibited many
articles made in the school's machine
shop, such as pliers, screw driver,
vices; hammers and other tools. Also
