Back to peace and with this experience natural gas will
prove a profitable partner in post-war production. So Lone
Star's Industrial Department is making ready now plans to
help in the industrial development of Texas. In helping to
attract new industries to the state and in studying ways to
widen the use of natural gas in manufacturing processes,
e
Lone Star likes to feel that it is helping to create new wealth
for Texas by enlarging the market for the substantial quanti-
ties of natural gas available.
Lone Star built the state’s first long natural gas pipe-
line, Petrolia to Fort Worth, in 1910, and thereby
secured a market for land and royalty owners.
Throughout the years Lone Star has taken leading
part in the development and conservation of Texas'
natural gas resources. How it is gathering data about
new uses of natural gas in industry for the considera-
a
tion of industrialists who may be planning to move
plants to Texas because supplies of this matchless fuel
are assured for a long time into the future.
Natural Gas is produeed in every prneipel region
of Texas as indicated by shaded areas. Experts
estimate known reserves sufficient for several
generations. First produced and used in Texas at
Corsicana, natural gas has since 1901 developed
into one of the state's major, resources. It has
brought wealth to the state in direct proportion to
the development and expansion of markets for its

in itself is beautiful. First, there
is the blue of the sea, then the

formations of fluffy clouds and
the pale sky beyond.
Every once in a while dark-
skinned Melanesians slowly pad-

harbor. Arguments sometimes de-
velop about these natives. One
soldier maintains they are fish-
ermen; another, they are beach
combers. They probably are both.
Noticeable is the fact that Ad-
miralty natives wear hats in the
open. This is a precaution for all
men to observe, because the Bis-

The baseball parK, distin-
guished by a grand stand down
the third base line, is reputedly
one of the fastest diamonds in the
Bismarcks. Basketball courts are
made of hard packed coral dust.
Handball courts are concrete.
Petelyu’s beach, though not as
well advertised as others, ranks
among the best in the Pacific.
Its sand is white and clean, its
water is crystal clear. A reef ap-
proximately 200 yards out cuts
down rough surf. There are no
pointed underwater obstacles sim-
ilar to those frequently encoun-
tered at Waikiki.
Another luxury just outside
Duffy’s Tavern is a fresh water
shower accommodating some 25
men at one time. The shower is
crowded throughout the day, as
few troops enjoy fresh water
baths aboard transports.
A few troops find on Petelyu
additional pastimes. Nature lov-
ers hunt shells and odd coral for-
mations on the beach. Cat’s eyes,
shells akin to clam and snail spe-
cies, coral of red, brown and
green colors litter the coastline
in abundant quantities.
