Iceman Has A Big Role in Crazy Comedy The thousands who have laughed at "You Can't Take It With You." the Pulitzer Prize winning comedy coming to the Fox Arlington in Santa Barbara, matinee and evening next Wednesday. give many a quiet chuckle at the character of the iceman, played by Joseph Allenton. In the course of the dialog the audience finds that the iceman must have deserted his wagon and tongs on the spot when he encountered the Sycamores, for he has been their guest, day and night, for eight years at the time the comedy begins.

It is characteristic of these same hair-brained Sycamores, who never know what time it is, that they have never thought to ask their visitor his first name, for he is down on the program simply as "Mr. De Pina," and he is never addressed otherwise. But this is not so strange when it is learned that Mr. DePina's predecessor, the milkman, stayed with the Sycamores five years and they never knew his name at all. In fact, when he died, and it was necessary to obtain a certificate of burial.

they gave him "Grandpa" Vanderhof's name, a thought which brought an avalanche of flowers. Mr. De Pina's greatest triumph comes when he is asked by Mrs. Sycamore, who suddenly deserts playwriting to resume her work as a painter, to don his Roman costume and pose for her unfinished picture of the discus thrower. It is such stuff as this that has made the play world-famous for its craziness--and the laughter it brings.

The Morrison tract of 80 acres lies on the south side of McCoy Lane fronting Orcutt road. In Lower Valicy E. H.

Moore's drillers were down 4500 feet today on their H-1, on the west side of Black road in the lower valley, drilling ahead. This well is an eastern offset of Moore's H-2, originally designated Union Sugar No. 2, the Moore "discovery" well in the lower valley. Union Oil's O'Donnell 2-1, offsetting Moore's G-1, topped the Monterey shale yesterday at 5031. The drillers will take the penetration of the Monterey before setting the water string.

They will then move to O'Donnell 2-1. a location south, offsetting Moore's H-1. Union was drilling ahead on its Silva No. 1, northwest of Betteravia on Brown road, and its nearby Leroy 3 was standing idle, its surface casing cemented. As soon as a crew now lowering the pumping unit in Union's Enos 1-19.

northeast of Santa Maria, finishes the job, it will move to the Leroy 3 and complete it. Rigging-up was in progress on the Elisa R. Stinson property under lease to Union on Betteravia lateral, and the crew which recently completed Union's Frank Vicente No. 2, is expected to spud in the hole early next week. This property surrounds the Catherine McDonnell property on the wrest and south.

Leroy Well Improves Reliable reports are that Union's Leroy 2, which the Silva and the Leroy 3 are offsetting, has increased production largely since it was brought in. It is officially listed as a 200-barrel producer, but it is said to be flowing its allotted 100 barrels daily on its gas pressure, built up while Union had it shut in for time. It would not surprise Un-1 ion field men if it were now good for 400 barrels a day. The condition of this well has encouraged land owners in the lower valley, and they are hoping to see further tests sunk to the west. There has been keen disappointment over decision of Associated-Union-Richfield not to drill on the Ferini property south of Guadalupe, a mile and a half west of the Leroy hole.

In Eastern Field In the eastern section of the valley field, east of all present production, the Valaco Oil Co. was rigging up today for its Haslam No. 1 on the Leone Haslam property on a sub-lease from Carl McCullers. The well will be ready to spud in early next week, it was indicated today. Away to the southeast, the BelHor Oil Co.

PICKUPS and COMMENT (Continued From Page One) Florida where there are hurricanes and California where there are floods and earthquakes, but the poor can stay home and ten to the radio." Another oldtimer is one who remembers when everyone sympathized with the "poor Germans, downtrodden with debt and bereft of their army and navy." When I hear persons talking about "red-hot tips" on races, I smile at their ignorance. There is no such thing as a tip on a race-unless there is a crooked jockey or trainer or a combination of the three, and if they will crook their fellow racers on the track, it's not safe to take their tips; they'll certainly, crook you if it is to their advantage. I lived for ten years across the river from the Juarez Jockey club plant in Juarez-and it was operated by some of the leading racing lights of the United States -and I've seldom heard of anyone winning on a red-hot tip, although it was common knowledge that races were "thrown," but those "in the know" didn't pass the word around.
