New Test Well
To Be Drilled
In Camp County
M. V. Cadrnan of Tyler ha>
applied for a drilling permit for
a test for oil in Southern Camp
County in the vicinity of the
No. 1 Venters well which is re-
ported to have shpwn oil at
about 8.000 feet.
Location calls for a site on
the Minnie Haiper 10.8-acre
tract in the Robert Wyres sur-1
vey which lies immediately
southeast and east of the S.!
Wright survey in which the
Venters well is located.
The No. 1 Venters was shut
down after showing oil to al-
low for the clearing of titles
in the vicinity.
Two and probably three test
wells will be drilled in Wood
County this summer, accord-
ing to unofficial reports; how-
ever, no drilling permits have
yet been sought.

Life Insurance
Paid on 77,000
After First Year
Statistics just compiled by
the American Life Convention |
indicate that 77,000 policy own-!
ers die annually in the United
States within a year after they
invest in life insurance, and
that their beneficiaries receive
approximately $52,000,000 as a!
result of their insurance.
The statistice, just received:
here by Howard Lott, who is ;
local representative of the
Southwestern Life Insurance
Company, an affiliate of the
American Life Convention, were
taken from 'a survey which also j
covered the field of health and
accident records. Based upon
estimates of the United States j
Public Health Service, the
American Life Convention re-
ports an average of five million
persons invalided each day by
sickness, and 500,000 by acci-
dents.
The report estimates the
annual loss in wages from sick-
ness and accidents, not covered
by workmen's compensation
benefits, total more than $6,-
500,000,000. Where permanent
disability is involved, however,
much of this loss is covered by
life insurance.

Colored clothes need a little
special care in landscaping. First j
