In Marshall and Elbridge fields drilling continues, while some wells like Staub in Douglas Township and Charles Hilbert in Darwin Township were abandoned.

The Patoka field shows rebound from 700 to 4700 barrels per day. Also announced are Post Office closing-time changes effective June 1 1950 and new hours starting immediately.
