Oil Drilling At Lowest In 9 Years By MAX SKELTON
Domestic oil operators held 320 million nonproductive acres in 32 states at year end 1965, the lowest since 1953, as a nine year slump persisted. Producers added 83,970 acres to productive leases to reach 30.4 million, while Texas led gains in productive land but cut nonproductive acres by over 7.3 million. Nevada and Florida showed notable nonproductive increases, and Wyoming California led productive growth since 1959. The figures appear in the 1966 edition of The Oil Producing Industry in Your State by the Independent Petroleum Association of America, detailing 1965 producing wells and state averages.

Bridge Notes Showcasing Helen’s Winning Hand
The passage describes Helen playing the deuce of hearts from dummy and reaching a top score. East initially might have returned a diamond but played clubs instead. Helen wins a trick with the ace, draws trumps, cashes the king of clubs, discards a club, ruffs a club in hand, then returns to dummy with the last trump and discards the deuce of diamonds on the 13th club. Luck aids skill in this decisive sequence.
