Such A World
From W, T Anderson's Column as of
April 20, 1041.
(i.ime laws as to wild animal , durlM
turkeys, nua.il. doves, are pretty wi ll
observed at this time of the year. Of
non rue ’there will lie trouble with keep
in;; hunters from shooting over baited
dove fields when fall arrives, but as n
ru’e hunters have fallen into line with
the best thought as to conservation
of this wild life, and at I ast leave
their gun and dog at home during the
‘’closed" season.
There is very little trouble, too,
witli any one breaking up a hen nest
behind the kitchen stove or oilier
place. Recauue sportsmen (God save
the mark) know if they break up the
siting hen there won’t be any fried
chicken later in the summer.
lint not so with the fish. On every
hand we shall hear one fisherman say
to another, "fish are bedding,” come
on and get your pole and bait cup
and let’s get some of the finny tribe.
When fish "bed" lh< y are doing the
same thing as the old hen in (lie wood
lmv behind the kitchen stove they
are laying eggs and hatching them to
make some lit’tle fistves that may gtow r
into big fish.
Hut who cares? Get’s catch the sit
ting hen off her nest and wring her
luad off and have some fried chicken
right away. It is know'll that she stoi
cs fat to carry her through the starv
ing period she has 'to undergo to
hatch her brood, and if she is taken
off her hatching job and killed, she
will be poorer than a hibernating
snake in January. She is not fit to be
eaten. Whoever beard of eating a sit
ting hen—maybe “setting" hen to you
At Satilla River club several years
ago I saw a hnuch of city slickers
catch about 20 red-bellied bream.
The bream could be seen at the hot
tom of the river guarding their nests.
When a piece of trash would float
near, or another fish would come into
tire neighborhood of the bed, the
"hatcher” would chase away the in
vader, or take the trash in its mouth
and carry that off. To dangle a hook
with a worm on it, wriggling and
twisting, the sitting fish would run at
this and grab it to chase it away (he
dosn’t eat during hatching time), he
would get hooked and caught. My
fishing friends caught hese sitting
fish as fast as the fish could be lo
cated over the beds. 1 pleaded with
them not to take those fish, that
thousands of eggs and little ones
Were being destroye<l—just like kil
ling an old hen on her west just as
her little ones began to hatch.
Hut they took the red-bellies off
their nests—anything was fish to
these galoots who didn't know any
hotter.
The next morning ourparty went
into the yard to see the cook cleaning
■fish for dinner. Every time he came
•to one of these beautiful red-bellies
he would thrown it to the hogs near
by. For the benefit of the fishermen
who had caught these discarded fish,
1 asked the cook in a kind of protest
why o n earth he was throwing those
beautiful fish to the hogs.
He said “those fish are as poor as
snakes. They were bedding, and are
just like a poor old setting hen when
she is setting. Those fish are no more
fit to be eaten than tire setting hen."
A. E. Thornton, our affable and
popular fish and game warden for
ibis section, who has been on his Job
for many years, knows what I am
talking about, and lie can tell story
after story of trouble with fishermen
who were fishing out of season at this
very moment. We have only about six
or eight weeks closed season on fish,
why in God’s name can’t we give this
basis of the finest of sports a chance
to give us more pleasure? Georgians
grabtheir fishing outfits and run
down to Florida, and some of them
even go as far away as Wisconsin to
fish and all this money should stay
in Georgia, aud millions more of it
would come here if we had any at
Inactions in fish and game.
Zach Cravey and his gam> wardens
don’t have any pleasure in arresting
sportsmen. They want help, and the
best way to help is to comply with
the laws and have more fish and
game.

VALVOLINE OIL COMPANY
OBSERVES 75th ANNIVERSARY
The year 1941 marks the complet
ion of 75 years of uninterrupted ex
istence tor the Valvoline 00l comp
any. makers of the first of the Penn
sylvania lubricants, it is announced
hy O. P. Doll, president of Valvoline.
On June 6. 1909 the company in
stalled two bulk tanks in Rio for
handling kerosene and high test gas
oline wholesale. John Dykeman of
Beloit was the manager. This was
the only bulk plant in the village for
nearly ten years.
Miles Parker became the companys
agent on Sept. 1, 1909. He hauled
kerosene and gasoline to the neigh
boring towns of Poynette, Pardeeville
Wyocena, Cambria and others with a
team of horses. On March 1, 1921
William Buckley took over the man
agement and on June 1, 1926 George
Adams, tire present agent, took
charge.
The local plant has grown from
•two storage tanks in 1909 to seven
The Forsyth Comity News
tanks with a capacity of 75,000 gal
lons. In addition to the original
kerosene and high-test gasoline the
plant now carries a complete line of
gnsoiiir, kerosene, lubricating oil,
tractor fuel, furnace oil, etc.
The parent organization was laun
ched in 1836, Mr. Doll explained, by
Dr. John Ellis, a Michigan homeo
pathis physician who became interest
id in Pennsylvania ptroleum pro
ducts during the Civil War
Dr. Ellis organized 'Phe Continuous
Oil Refining company which later
changed its name to Leonard & Ellis
and then to Valvoline Oil company
todistill and market what was then
known as "rock oil.” He already bail
patents which made possible for the
first time the commercial refining of
steam cylinder lubricants and other
oils of good quality. The company
started in a very modest way with a
tiny ten-barrell super heated steam
still.
At that time steam cylinder lubri
cation was accomplished by means of
tallow, suet, lard or compounds of
vegetable or animal origin. Severe
corrosion and gumming resulted, yet
prejudice in their favor was so strong
that Dr. Ellis faced enormous opposi
tion with his petroleum cylinder oil
Not until the noted engine builder,
George Corliss adopted the new lu
bricant did its use spread.
Among the first to approve was the
Siqger Sewing Machine organization,
a Valvoline customer today, and
throughout more than 71 years. The
Erie Railroad, Lehigh Valley and oth
ers adopted Valvoline and the origin
al company expanded rapidly.
In 1868 the first mineral lubricat
ing oil refinery ever built was erect
ed in Brooklyn Crude oil was brought
from Pennsylvania in wooden tank
cars. Despite the cumbersome meth
ods of those days, the oils turned out
by the original refinery were real lu
bricants. Valvoline Cllinder Oil won
the gold medal at Paris in 1875 and
at the Philadelphia Centennial in
1876.
The world's first turbine oil was
•made by Dr. Ellis in 1884 for Sir
Charles Parsons of Newcastle-on
tyne, England, the world’s first ’tur
bin builder, whos , e company is still
a Valvoline customer.
As early as 1888 Valvoline was be
ing used for gasoline engine oils and
when the first American automobile
was built in 1893 by Elwood Haynes
of Indiana. Valvoline was the lubri-
