Day-by-day happenings left the
tmpreesion that June was an un-
•ventful month, that Uz occurrences
were worth few headlines.
It was the month of brides, of
high temperatures, of vacations and
summer excursion plans—leaving a
casual picture of off-season som-
nolence.
Viewed in retrospect, happenings
of June present an altogether dif-
ferent appearance
its chronicles are tilled with
events of import, occurrences of
deep sigmiricance.
Banner story’ for the 30-day pe-
riod might well be the steady in-
crease of oil activity—development
of an oil boom scarcely a stone's
throw outside Abilene city limits.
Money and bustness flowed in, too,
as a 12-county region surrounding
the city harvested a record small
grain yield. Accepted indices of bus-
iness conditions-building permits,
postal receipts, bank clearings—

I first half of 1937 well ahead of the
pace set during recant years. Sum-
mer sports made a bid for their
share of attention. And the weather,
as general in interest as it is abused
conversationally, contributed with
both heat marks and life-giving
moisture.
FIRST OF SUMMER
June was the first month of sum-
mer and it made no concession to
other seasons Written in the past,
it now stands on its record.
Unquestionably a most vital lec-
tor with bearing on Abilene finan-
cial conditions is the increase of
activity in the oil game within the
cty’s immediate area.
I It came so steadily that sensa-
tonal spurts and exciting strikes
nearly failed to excite all except
those closely Identified with the in-
dustry. Yet Abilne was not unpre-
pared to reap benefits from the
"black gold" which lies below this
region in quantities still undeter-
mined. On the first day of the
month the oil development commit-
toe of the Abilene chamber of com-
merce launched a drive intended to
make permanent whatever gains
might be achieved through the in-
dustry. It mailed between 500 and
400 letters seeking a minimum of
1K new memberships in the West
Central Texas OU and Gas associa-
tion.
