working qu g
to dig a clubhouse cave at their St. George, Utah home. Their
‘‘well” yields steady flow of hi-test gasoline.
ST. GEORGE, Utah, Members of the Grant Johnson family
appear fixed for life with free gasoline from a mysterious
“well” of 96 octane fuel that bubbles from the ground in the
backyard of their St. George home.
It all started nearly 15 months ago when Karl Johnson,
12, was digging an underground clubhouse and struck a bub
bling deposit of clear pink gasoline seven feet underground.
“We take out as much as 35 gallons a day”, the senior
Johnson says, “and there are no signs of the well running
dry. We seem to get more in the summer when neighbors
water their gardens. The sandy soil seems to filter the gas
oline very well. To make sure that containments don’t plug
the engines of our cars, we add one can of STP gasoline
treatment to each tank from our ‘well’.”
Johnson, who is a St. George city councilman, believes the
fuel is leaking from the tanks of one of the 25 filling stations
in this town of 8,000 people. But all tanks have been pressure
tested without revealing a leak, Johnson says, and the fuel has
continued to flow into nis yard for nearly 15 months.
“There is some fire hazard”, he says, “but the free gasoline
is quite a boon, since we operate two passenger cars, a pickup
truck and a motor scooter with the mixture of free gasoline
and STP. We also give away some surplus fuel from our
‘well’ but we’re learning that some of our ‘customers’ want us
to strain their free gas for them.”
The mysterious gas well is a mixed blessing to young Karl
who gets to ride the motor scooter. “It ruined our plans for
an underground clubhouse”, he says ruefully, “and we kids
must be very careful not to build backyard bonfires.”
Row crops aren’t the only plants
that interest Tom Rowland.
He helps raise power plants, too.
In Vidette, Burke County, Tom Rowland’s business
is farming. Growing cotton, corn and soybeans. He’s
also a shareholder of the Georgia Power Company.
That makes him one of our bosses.
Lots of other people are, too. Could be your
high school math teacher. Your coffee-break friend.
Or the choir director. Altogether, some 121,000 men
and women are direct investors in this company and
its parent firm, The Southern Company.
Many more people are indirect owners. For ex
ample, insurance companies, mutual savings banks
and pension funds have investments in electric utility
companies all over the nation. This gives millions
of Americans an indirect financial interest in the in
dustry. The money invested helps to build plants,
lines and other facilities required to assure your
supply of electricity.
So, you see, companies such as ours, serving just
about everybody, are owned by just about everybody.
Chances are, that includes you, too.

ATLANTA (PRN) - Quite
a lot of fishermen have asked
me, from time to time, “What
is your favorite lure?”
The answer to that is
simple; it’s the last one on
which I caught a good string
of fish.
I’m not kidding. I mean it.
Os course, that isn’t the
answer anyone wants to hear.
They want some good advice
on which lure to use, in fact
what they really want is a
sure-fire success formula.
Sorry, but I have none of
those. The question originally
raised, however, is a good one
and a thorough discussion of it
should be indeed beneficial for
plug fishermen.
Let’s face it. There
probably isn’t a lure made
now, nor will there ever be,
that is ideal for all situations.
The biggest mistake an angler
could make would be to limit
himself to one lure only. Look
at your own box. How many
plugs are there in it? Okay,
separate them into several
stacks, one for those you fish
frequently, one for those you
fish sonib, and one for those
you fish never or almost never.
Let’s take the first pile,
probably the smallest, those
lures that you trust and fish
regularly. Okay, now split this
pile into two-one for those
who do produce regularly, and
the other stack will contain
those which are not
consistent.
I’m ready to make a gamble
again. Most of those you fish
regularly, but seldom catch
fish on, are those which have,
on some occasion either
produced a lunker or a string
of fish. And you hope to hit
the jackpot again someday.
The rest of the lures in that
stack are probably rather new
on the market, say a year or so
old. Everyone else catches lots
of fish them. ’re
Delicious warm syrups for waf
fles, French toast and pancakes
are a cinch to prepare with jams,
jellies and preserves. Their tangy
fruit flavors and sparkling colors
are bound to help make breakfast
menus more inviting and satis
fying.
or the simplest version, just
heat any favorite jam, jelly or pre
serve with a small amount of
orange or other fruit juice. The
sauce should be just thin enough
to pour. If you like, add butter,
nuts, spices and other flavorings
as suggested in the following
recipes.
JAM AND JELLY POUROVERS
Grape-Honey. Combine % cup grape jelly, U cup honey, 2 table
spoons butter and a dash each of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
Cook, stirring, over low heat until jelly and butter melt. Serve warm
Makes about 1 cup.
Orange-Walnut. Combine 1 cup orange marmalade, 2 tablespoons
butter and 2 tablespoons orange juice. Cook, stirring, over low heat
until marmalade and butter melt. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped wal
nuts. Serve warm. Makes about 1U cups.
Raspberry-Currant. Combine Y 2 cup raspbeny jelly, cup currant
jelly, 2 tablespoons butter and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Cook, stirring,
over low heat until jelly and butter melt. Serve warm. Makes about
1 cup.

My Favorite Lures
told.
Now, back to the consistent
producers. There’s no reason
to discuss why you fish them.
You know. Chances are that if
you left only these in your
tackle box, your results will be
somewhat better. Maybe not,
however, because they’re the
ones you use most of the time
anyway.
Look at that array of lures.
You probably have about a
half dozen models here,
maybe less. If I could look at
them, I could probably tell
you a lot about your fishing
habits. For example, if they’re
all or mostly shallow runners,
you’re a shoreline fisherman
who catches most of his fish in
mid-Spring, and maybe the
early or mid-Autumn.
Now let’s suppose your
stack of top-producing lures
contained a pretty even split..a
unking deep running lure, a
floating deepdiver, a sinker
that runs shallow, a floater
that runs shallow, a topwater
lure that must be retrieved
continuously, and a tapwater
that must be retrieved in very
short jerks and allowed to rest
most of the time. If you can
look me in the eye and say
you catch fish consistently on
all of these lures, well, then,
brother I sure would like to
fish with you..you must be
one more fisherman!
Actually, this is the type of
assortment every fisherman
should have, and he should
attempt to get consistent
results on them.
Maybe you’ve gotten the
point now why I have no one
particular favorite lure„each
type of lure is made for a
different situation, a different
time of year, a different time
of year, a different time of
day, even. I’d hate to be
without a good assortment.
I don’t have one favorite..!
