Counties Not Required to Budget Welfare Relief Funds
Attorney General Ewing T Kerr ruled counties need not budget relief money under the county budgeting act. He said the 1937 welfare act allows a one mill levy on taxable property for welfare needs, with a separate welfare budget to be prepared. The ruling responded to a request by state examiner A E Wilde. A newborn son blessed Mr and Mrs Joseph Sage on Monday evening with all well. Mr and Mrs Frank Tracy of Way circulated among friends on Tuesday.

Unusual delays halt drilling at Budd No 1 well near Big Piney
Wyoming Petroleum Corp, led by C Ed Lewis, reports a temporary halt to west of Big Piney drilling due to war impact and equipment delays. A faulty mud pump from Los Angeles and gear shortages from Waterloo Iowa have stalled progress, with gears now reportedly produced and en route. The firm plans larger liners, a fourth boiler, and steam operation to avoid mud freezing, while gas prospects near the Budd No 1 site spark local interest in pipelines to Big Piney.

Budd No 1 Area Seen As Big Wyoming Oil Field
Wyoming oil regions move toward utility status for gas and oil. Mr. Lewis says if a pipeline and market emerge his company will build an absorption plant. Budd No 1 gas shows high gas content and deep drilling is planned unless oil in paying quantities is found sooner. Lewis believes Budd No 1 could yield a major high gravity field benefiting the Big Piney basin.

Economic Highlights from Industrial News Review
The piece argues that American public mood favors staying out of war despite pressure to join Allies. It cites a October poll showing 17 percent favor entering the war, 125 percent support if Allies seem losing, and broad isolationist sentiment across government. It notes the Flint incident as evidence of restraint and portrays steady optimism for peace, with business signals improving as third-quarter reports roll in. Steel and textiles push production toward new highs while department store sales lag but move more goods due to lower prices.
