The Grand Saline Sun isn't trying to do anything
here except recognize an individual resident whose
quiet but unrelenting service to Grand Saline can
never be evaluated in dollars and cents.
Without presuming to suggest the name of James
S. (for Seaborn) Land as “Grand Saline’s most out-
standing citizen” for one year, The Sun rather
would skip that cognomen for the more general
title of “outstanding citizen.”
Seldom can one person be outstanding ONE year
here who may shout “amen” and some will mean
sincerely that “Seab” Land has performed and is
performing a service to Grand Saline and we resi-
dents unprecedented in local history, the great rec-
ord set by our old pal, Dr. V. B. Cozby, notwithstand-
ing. Both deserve the undying gratitude of every
resident, temporary or permanent, who traverse
our streets, use our water supply and our other ef-
ficient sanitary and utility facilities. They and oth-

perform their worst public service, in their thinking
and possibly the thinking of some of the rest of us.
“Seab” Land has retired from public service to
Grand Saline, but some of us who appreciate his
Bervice to Grand Saline and respect him for his
perseverance in public service doubts that. “Seab”
Land will never retire from voluntary service to
Grand Saline short of the grave.

we have to start now!
This it a Mumblo well in tho Anahuac,
Ttxat, field The first well, drilled in 1935,
found oil ot 8738 feet. Geological end
geophysical work which preceded drill-
ing consumed 6 years 437 wells havo
been drilled, of which 357 are row pro-
ducing oil Present production
U 30,108 barrels daily With
tho present knowledge of the
field, it is possible that addi-
tional tonds may be found
at a § rooter depth.
Most of the oil you arc using today was found more than
ten years ajjo. 11^takes about that long to explore and develop
potential resources to tl.dr full, efficient capacity.
F irst, you have to find the oil. Geologists and geophysicists spend
months of scientific study before they pronounce an area a "prospect.”
It takes more months to drill exploratory wells; and if they find oil,
it takes years to drill the other wells that define the field, establish
the amount of oil in it, and bring it into full production.
Today, this year, continuously, we must develop the oil resources
| we may need — without notice — on some future tomorrow.
In spite of minor fluctuations in demand, the need for oil has
increased steadily over the years; and every now and again,
there is a sudden, heavy, unexpected need for additional
i supplies, like the demand for fuel oil on the Eastern seaboard
during the cold winter of 1947-48. Furthermore, we must face
the fact that in this atomic era, in this day of the jet airplane and
the long-range submarine, the U. S. oil industry must prepare
now to meet the needs of any future national emergency.
That’s why the American oil industry is undertaking the heavy
costs of exploring the Tidelands of the continental shelf in
order to bring the oil fields that geologists think are there
into full production now. Rest assured that the oil will not
he wasted; on the contrary, it will be ready for instant use
when you and the nation need it.
