GAS SERVICE DOESN’T
JUST HAPPEN I
Exploiting the combined musical
talent? of Harry James and his or-
chestra and the celebrated Andrews
Sisters, Universal’* comedy tunefest
“Private Buckaroo” comes Saturday
September 19, afternoon and night
to the Texas Theatre.
Announced as timely and elabo-
rate screen entertainment, the story
of “Private Buckaroo” deal* with
the adventures of a group of per-
formers in one of Uncle Sam’s Army
cantonments. One novelty of the
offering is said to be that a majority
of the players appear as themselves
Augmenting the Harry James ag-
gregation and the Andrews trio are
Dick Foran, Ernest Truex, Shemp
Howard and Mary Wicks. Other
favorites include Richard Davies,
Huntz Hall, Jennifer Holt, T&galong
and the popular Jivin’ Jacks and Jills
Their present co-starring appear-
ance in “Private Buckaroo” marks
the second time the Andrews Sisters
have worked with James and his
Music Makers. (
First joint appearance of the two
was at a Chicago theatrea few sea-
sons ago, when the combination
shattered all box-office records for
the playhouee. At that time, both
the Andrew Sisters and James were
on the way up. Now, with both at
the top ai their respective fields,
they meet again and are setting new
entertainment records.

United Gas Pipe Line company, in
the second advertisement of a scries
dealing with the everyday work of
supplying the Gulf South with natu-
ral gas, has chosento give recogni-
tion to its welders, officials of the
company announced this week.
“It ie the welders who actually
put together the more than 3000-
mile interconnected system of pipe
lines which transport natural gas to
our city gate and industrial custom-
ers. Like all United’s employes they
have the responsibility of keeping ,
natural gas service dependable.
Their job may be in a ‘bell-hole’
filled with flame, with gas, mud or
water, but they get it done. United
as well as the public owes the weld*
ers a vote of thanks for the way in
which they perform their duties,*’
the officials said.
Although bad breaks In pipe lines
are infrequent, when they do occur
they must be repaired as soon as
possible so there will be no service
interruption. The welder usually
has to cut out the damaged section
of pipe so that a new piece may b«
installed.
Although the line is shut down
natural gas remains and is usually
ignited when the welder’s torch cuts
through the pipe. They cannot stop
cutting to let the flame burn out
because it is necessary to restore
the line to service at the earliest
possible moment. When “Making
the cut” they protect their faces
with wet handkerchiefs or cloth. On
a recent job, a break occurred in
the bed of a stream and the welder
had to work in a hole filled with
water and mud while flames were
coming from the pipe. This time he
used the water to good advantage,
cutting for a few minutes and then
ducking himself in the water to
cool off.
The work which welders i"
United Gas Pipe Line company is
one of the reasons why Dependable
Natural Gas Service Doesn’t Just
Happen.

GOODLY CROWD OF
SOUTH TEXANS IS
EXPECTED OCTOBER 10
Cutting a Gas pipe line at the trouble point lie dan-
gerous work—hard work—hot work! Yet it’e only a
part of the big job of rendering dependable Natural Gas
service.
Yes, Natural Gas service is more than any one job,
no matter how important. It is more than “bringing in”
a Gas well, and building a pipe line. The Gas must be
put through many expensive processes before h is
delivered safely, at proper pressures, to your home and
place of business.
Because Natural Gas is vital for war production in
the Gulf South, DEPENDABLE service is more impor-
tant today than ever. Natural Gas shall continue to
tserve for Victory—AND WE WILL WIN!
