To Sponsor Industrial
Exposition Week
The South Texas Chamber 01
Commerce is joining with state,
regional and local chambers in
Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, New
Mexico and Oklahoma in spon-
soring the First Annual South-
western Industrial Exposition
which is to be held in Fort Worth,
Texas, May 30-Juvie 6, 1948.
The purpose of the exposition
is to demonstrate to the public
at large, and to buyers in parti-
cular, that the southwest is no
longer simply a source of raw
materials hut is now a significant
producer of manufactured pi
ducts as well.
Four of the new livestock exhibit
buildings south of the Will Rogers
Memorial Coliseum Building ift
Fort Worth are to be used to
house the exhibit and it is hoped
that the enterprise will bring
manufacturers and purchasers to-
gether in an environment which
will stimulate business for aii
southwestern manufacturers.
Establishments which manufac-
ture, process or assemble products
in the states of Arkansas, Ixrtiist-
ann. New M exico, Oklahoma anu
Texas are invited t<> exhibit goods
which they actually process in
these states. The four buildings
contain a total of 150,000 square
feet of space. More than 40,000
square feet is available inside the
four buildings and more than 20,-
000 square feet between them. The
outside space is covered with a
canopy to a distance of 12 feet
from the walls of the buildings.
Basic booths, of which there are
680, are 8 x 10 feet, and exhibi-
tors may reserve one, two or as
many booths as are desired.
"I believe this exhibit is a most
meritorious enterprise," said Col-
onel Ray Leeman, executive vice
president of the South Texas
Chamber of Commerce. "Last year
a similar show sponsored by the
Kansas State Chamber of Com-
merce attracted buyers from all
parts of the United States. If our
South Texas manufacturers take
advantage of this opportunity,
which 1 believe they will, it is ten-
tatively planned using these ex-
j iiibits as a nucleus to set up in the
! headquarters building of the South
I Texas Chamber of Commerce a
i permanent South Texas industrial
! exhibit."

ploration, the company will drill
three or four wells in the Gulf of
Mexico. Drilling on these sub-
merged lands is difficult and cost-
ly, but the high level of demand
makes it mandatory that this area
on the continental shelf be de-
veloped promptly.
Recent surveys indicate that the
whole industry, like Humble, is
going "all out" in its search for
new oil—ami that a record of more
than 3(5,000 wells are scheduled to
be drilled in 1948.
SADDLE SOAP
By Bill Shomette
Carrying the mail to Travis
County farms and ranches is a
lot easier than it was 30 years
ago, according to Miss Lizzie No-
lan, who travels RFD out or
Austin. The spry, 00-odd year old
mail carrier began her letter-car-
rying career with horse and buggy.
She remembers numerous occas-
ions when she unhitched Old Dob-
bin and swam a swollen creek to
make her route. Miss Nolan likes
her job and says now that modon.
automobiles make her job "easy"
she wouldn't think of retiring.
TEC Invites Orders
For Workers From
Farmers & Ranchers
"Now that we in the Texas Em-
ployment Commission have gum
back to work for Texas Farmers
and Ranchers we are anxious to
get at it," R. (J. Murehison, Man-
ager of the Bastrop office, said
today.
Mr. Murehison says, "The TE(
invites orders for workers from
all farmers and ranchers. We feel,"
fie added, "that local farmers ot-
tentimes have as great difficulty
/ii getting one man or one family
as they do in getting a crew, or
crews, of cotton pickers at the
peak of cotton harvest. Furnish-
ing workers to Bastrop County
farm-employers is an every day
business with us, just as in our
furnishing of workers for em-
ployers engaged in any other kind
of business."
"We are going out and visit
with our farmer friends," said
Mr. Murehison, "and we want
them to come by our office and
see us when they come to town."
The local TEC staff was busy
working up a farm program, fin-
ishing a lot of chart and maps of
the local area. A lot of the in.
formation being compiled is fil-
ing to be mighty interesting and
very useful to farmers as well as
to agencies of the State, the Coun-
ty and local. Any of the informa-
tion is readily accessible to any-
one who can use it—How can we
be of help to You?—that's the
thought in the local Bastrop TEC
Office.
HUMBLE PROVIDING
ADDITIONAL OIL
FOR CONSUMERS
The petroleum industry is mak-
ing tremendous strides toward
meeting today's record high de-
mand for petroleum products, a
demand which has increased over
the past 20 years at an average of
about 4 1-2 per cent per year,
but which in 1047 increased almost
11 per cent. The extraordinary
efforts being made to meet con-
sumer demands for petroleum ai«>
shown by Humble's present rate
of operations. Humble's current
production of crude oil is at an
annual rate of 131 million barrels,
15 per cent higher than a year
ago. At the same time, the nation-
al crude oil production rate is
about 12 1-2 per cent above last
year.
In an effort to keep pace with
increasing demands, Humble has
begun the most expensive pro-
gram of drilling in its history.
In 1948, the company plans to j
spend about $<>">,000,000 for drill-
ing 738 wells, or 163 more wells
than were drilled last year. About
one-third of the expenditures are
planned for drilling wildcat wells
in the search for new oil fields.
The balance will be spent to ex- i
pand production in areas already1
known to contain oil.
As part of its program of ex-
Representatives of the poultry
industry met in Gonzales recent-
ly to complete organization of the
Texas Poultry Council. The organi-
zation was fo'-med with the pur-
pose of coordinating the efforts
and activities of al phases of the
poultry industry in the state.

IS but little more dependable than your Lower
Colorado River Authority electric service!
That miraculous continuity of service on the
Authority's 39-county system is no accident, but
is due to endless watchfulness and careful ^
operation by its more than 700 employees.
Anything mechanical can break down, but
interruptions of service from breakdowns can
be kept to an absolute minimum by far-sighted
planning, intelligent management and careful
maintenance of equipment such as the Author-
ity and its employees provide.
Service interruptions happen to every utility. A
sudden gust of wind carries a branch across
some wires... a short circuit disrupts service,
and a line crew races to remedy the trouble.'
Nasty weather means nothing to these hardy fellows that man the line crews. They re
used to it. It is just part of the vitally important job they're doing to help give you the
kind of unfailing service you've grown to expect.
Few electrical systems can claim a record equal to that attain":! by the Lower Colorado
River Authority.
