Science and research. Mineral prospecting. Micro-fossils can play an important role in locating the proper spot to drill an oil well. A magnificent history of the flow of ancient seas, of climate, of the rise and fall of empires of primitive forms of life is preserved in stone. Students in defense training courses at a famous mining-engineering school learn to decipher and piece together for an engineering conclusion the facts contained in micro-fossils found in crushed rock. Here they are at work in the micropalenontological laboratory with binocular microscope using special lamps for horizontal illumination.

These young workers are putting precision-ground points on drills which will be used in production of America's ships, tanks and guns. It takes at least four months to train these young women in the operation of these machines, but at the end of that period their work is speedy and efficient, and this company has found that both production and the quality of the drill points have improved.

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. At an oil well in the U.S. Southwest state of Oklahoma, oil drillers are using tools called "tongs" which are clamped on the drill stem to screw on a new section of stem or to unscrew the stem, section by section, after the drilling far below the earth's surface is finished. This procedure is common in modern rotary drilling for oil . The well pictured here is being drilled by a "wildcat" organization of drillers, which means they are formed in a group independent of any of the great oil companies. The well, if successful, will contribute to the vast quantity of oil being poured overseas to the U.S. armed forces and the United Nations for the successful waging of the war. The predictable total of U.S. oil production in 1944, according to a U.S. oil company official, is 1,601,2500,000 barrels produced by thousands of wells such as this one. Some U.S. oilwells today are drilled to a depth of three miles (4.8 kilometers) underground
