4 JANESV1LLE DAILY GAZETTE FRIDAY, NOV. 8, 1957 Gas Station on S. 14 Burglarized Burglars entered the Roy Chase Service Station on Highway 14, between Highways 26 and Thursday night and stole an undetermined amount from coin boxes on three dispensing machines. A cigarette vending machine and a candy machine were wrecked to remove the coin boxes, and a third box which had been removed from a pop machine by the station owner and placed in a desk was taken. No estimate of the amount of loot is known pending a tally of the machines by Chambers and Owen.

Roy Chase, owner and operator, discovered the burglary when he opened the station for business at 7 a.m. Friday and reported it to the sheriff's office. A smashed window on the southeast corner of the building was the apparent entry place. It was surmised that more than one person was involved because the smashed window is six feet from the ground and there were no foot scuff marks on the side of the building, indicating that someone may have been boosted through the window. Rain obliterated any foot prints that might have been found on the ground at the point of entry.

Gulf Oil Corp. recently purchased 25 per cent of Callery stock and is assist ing some of the research work. A number of other companies are engaged in similar work. Power of a fuel is measured by the number of British Thermal Units of heat generated when it burns. Rockets convert this heat energy into motion energy.

A pound of boron-hydrogen com pound is more than 50 per cent more powerful. Decaborane, a sol id, yields 28,500 BTU's per pound; pentaborane a liquid, steps up to 29,000 BTU's and diborane, a gas, goes to 32,000. Hydrogen alone yields 52,000 BTU's. But it is a tricky gas which can be solidified only at hundreds of degrees below zero and Dr. Huff says chemists have been unable to find any practical fuel above the 32,000 BTU level.

Boron-hydrogen compounds appear to be "the approximate ceil ing for chemical energy," he says The next step is nuclear fission or fusion as tt propellant force. Mrs. John Commons Mrs. John Commons, 83, of 833 Cornelia died at 2:45 a.m. today in Mercy Hospital.

Beale said that the state will again next year buy additional supplies from Ohio.

Buy Jefferson Co. Land The approval of the commission on purchase of a dozen parcels of land was cited by Commissioner Charles Smith, as "an indication of the work of the commission to acquire wet lands throughout the state," and that the commission and department are "highly senstitive to the needs and expects to continue and expand" the purchase program by use of new revenues from sporting licenses. The purchases of such lands, he predicted "will increase tremendously' in the years just ahead. Among the purchases approved today was the Rome Mill pond acquisition in Jefferson County, an addition to an existing conservation area. The 890 acres of land will be bought from William, Leslie and Allen Ley, Rome, for $15,000.

Purchase of the Albion marsh land in Dane County, not on today 's list, was reported favorably and will come up soon. The Cherokee marsh area in Dane County apparently faces serious delay. The growth of Madison into that area, and the high cost of $394,000 are factors calling for caution, the commission indicated. A report on a working arrangement for conservation construction work with tire state building commission was given by Motl. Under a new state law, all state constriidion projects in excess of $15,000 now require building commission approval.

Martin WASHINGTON The Agriculture Marketing Service foresees an upward trend in the production of hogs that might last several years. An increase of 8 to 10 per cent was forecast for the 1958 spring crop. Such an expansion, it said, would bring a substantial reduction in prices from present levels. But it would not be enough, the agency said, to bring a halt to the uptrend. A factor the service said is likely to encourage further increases in 1959 and possibly in 1960 is the existence and probable continued production of bountiful supplies of livestock feed grains.

The relationship between prices of hogs and grain is both the gauge and governor of the livestock-feed economy, the service noted. "High ratios indicate that livestock production is running behind feed supplies, and they induce an increase in production," it said. "Even a 10 per cent expansion in hog production in 1958, coupled with more poultry, more cattle on feed, and more milk produced, would be less than would be required to utilize the 1957 volume of feed production. "The imbalance between production of feed and livestock is being alleviated to a degree through adding to storage stocks of feed grains. This is only a temporary expedient.

It will be necessary to bring feed and livestock closer to balance in the next few years." The service said that if a balance is not attained, eventually prices of livestock and livestock products would drop too low from the producer standpoint. For hogs, the perennial problem, the service said, is to capture more consumer demand. Demand for pork has lost ground to beef for a number of years.
