A trifle over one year ago Mr.
Clarence Schock, president of the
Schock Independent Oil Company
here, made a most generous prop-
osition to the public schools of
Lancaster County. At the time he
distributed $20,000 pro rata among
the schools, allocating the money
on a population basis.
Soon Mr. Schock will make his
second allocation which is $20,000.
School directors of Lancaster
County meeting in their convention
last week were notified by the
Schock Independent Oil Company
that it has converted into “irrevoc-
able” legal form its intention to al-

created more than a year ago as
