A spokesman for the Texas
Mid-Continent Oil and Gas
Association says that the ex-
ploration for new reserves has
reached near-boom propor-
tions. The high price for new oil
— as much as ten dollars a
barrel - is credited for the
increased drilling.

I decided to start a letter now
and add to it until it was full
enough to send. Right now I'm
on a touring bus in Frankfurt.

could do was motion at each 3

scary at all. I got a couple of

to see the sun rise just a few
hours after it set. I already *

Summer ball is moving along,
furnishing a lot of wholesome
diversion, mental and physical,
for the participants, and en-
tertainment for the spectators.
Ennis takes good care of this
valued sport. And it requires the
assistance of many devoted
fans who are ready to help with
the operation. We applaud
them, earnestly. They do a lot
for community life!
