DOM TOWN:
Oil Discovery Affects Clinton Business
By ERIC LINDBL'OOM.
and LEE MARKS_
Although it does not quite live
.p to the Hollywood conception of
an oil boom town, Clinton, Michi-
gan is nonetheless undergoing a
rapid change as a result of the oil
discovered on the Curtis farm
shortly before Christmas.
Already 10 independent oil com-
panies are drilling in the vicinity
of the first wildcat strike, with
more expected every day.

Clinton hasn't been affected yet
by the discovery of oil but the
town is waiting for "big" things yet
to. come. As one businessman put A ~ ~'
it, "Sure, there's been a slight in-
crease in business all around, but
right now the whole town's wait- rt4
ing. If a couple more companies
move in, this town will really start
to roll."
Another pointed out that Clin-r

Possibility

Of OilBoom"
Seen in City
Clinton's oil boom may flow ov-1
er into Ann Arbor, it was learnedj
yesterday.
Speculation raged over the pos-
sibility of oil being discovered in
the Ann Arbor area. Oil men seem
to feel that the Curtis farm for-
mation may run in a southwest-
northeast line. This would place
Ann Arbor directly in line with
the Clinton strike.
City officials have already
been approached by one oil com-
pany for permission to drill on
city owned property just west of
Ann Arbor airport.
Prof. Kenneth Landis of the ge-
ology department commented, "Ev-
en if oil is discovered in Ann Ar-
bor, it would not be profitable to
drill. In fact, most cities prohibit
it. As far as the township is coi-
cerned, there is just as much
chance of oil being discovered here
as there was in Clinton a month
ago."
According to Prof. Landis, it
was still too early to tell whether
the Clinton oil strike is a "boom
or a bust."
"Lightning can strike here as
well as in Clinton but it will be
at least another week before
anyone knows the extent of the
oil discovery," the geology pro-
fessor added.
City officials declined to com-
ment on the effect the discovery
might have here, claiming that
any remarks a this time would be
premature.°

LAW ROOKS
the leading executives of the top
oil companies. "Some of the big
men from Standard Oil Co. have
been nosing around here in the
last few days-and when they
perk up and get interested,
something big's in the air."
The lobby of Clinton's only ho-
tel is crowded with independent
"wildcaters." These men symbo-
lize the real change that's come
over Clinton. Many of them are
just here to size up the situation;
others are busy making deals and
waiting for reports from their
foremen.
"IT'S STILL too early to: tell,
but this might turn out to be a
realy important strike," comment-
ed the owner of one of the small-
er drilling companies. Another re-
marked, "We don't know yet, but
it looks good and we've got our
fingers crossed."
Out at the location of the first
strike, a crew of six was work-
ing in the bitter cold, sinking a
' two inch pipe into the ground.
Commenting on the scientific
methods of detecting oil, the fore-
man said, "You can use gravity
meters to detect"structures beneath
the ground that indicate the pre-
sence of oil, but the only way to
find out if you've got it, is to sink
a hole-and see what's down there."
Serum Saves
Austrian Boy
Serum flown 4,500 miles from
the Michigan State Health Lab-
oratories to Austria recently sav-
ed the life of an eight-year-old
boy.
The boy, Gottfried Eder, had
been bleeding from hemophilia, a
a rare disease in which the blood
doesn't clot, since an infected
tooth was pulled Friday.
The serum, anti-hemophil glo-
bulin which stopped the uncon-
trolled, bleeding, was flown into
Austria by the United States Air
Force. Two drivers delivered the
serum by jeep over snow-choked
Alpine roads to the Innsbruck
Children's Clinic where the boy
lay close to death.
Dangerous new bleeding had.
begun a few hours before the ser-
um arrived but the boy was pro-
nounced out of immediate danger
after it was administered.
The last lap of the mercy flight
was flown after midnight in peri-
lous flying weather
