Oil Industry to
Aid Collection
Of Scrap Metal
Charles F. Roeser of Fort
Worth, general chairman for
District Three of the national
petroletum co-ordination set-
up, today was named chairman
of the Texas Mid-Continent
Oil and Gas Association drive
for collection of scrap metal
and rubber in the oil indus-
try.
Mr. Roeser, in accepting the
chairmanship, extended the
drive to cover not only Texas,
but also all other states of
District Three, including New
Mexico, Louisiana, Arkansas,
Mississippi and Alabama.
"The collection of the scrap
of the oil industry is too im-
portant to confine merely to
Texas," Mr. Roeser said. "I
am therefore enlarging our
drive to cover all six states of
District Three, and am asking
the Texas Mid -Continent to co-
ordinate the campaign over this
entire area through its affil-
iated organziations."
The collection of oil field
scrap iron, steel, aluminum and
rubber was undertaken by the
association at the request of
the Federal Government thru
its Bureau of Industrial Con-
servation.
"Federal conservation author-
ities have asked us to get to-
gether for re-processing all the
metal scrap and rubber now
on the leases, in the yards and
at the plants of the oil indus-
try," Mr. Roeser said. "It is
a patriotic duty which the oil-
men gladly assume as part of
our industry's program of war-
time co-operation.
"Also it can prove to be of
benefit to our industry in its
efforts to drill new wells and
make the other expansions
which the increased demands
upon our industry make neces-
sary. Some of this scrap will
be re-used in making oil field
goods which are vitally needed
to supply the additional oil and
find the new reserves called
for by the Nation's victory pro-
gram."
Chairmen and committee to
supervise collection of the scrap
will be appointed at once in
each large producing area of
the six states, Mr. Roeser said.
At the request of the Federal
authorities, the scrap will be
assorted and bought by regu-
lar scrap dealers for shipment
to furnaces needing it. Coop-
erating in the campaign will
be local and field represent^
tives of oil &eld equipment
manufacturers who will" serve
as members df the coihm$?
tees.
point victory. This game will
begin at 8:40. Grand Saline will
play Wills Point in the other
opening night four-game pro-
gram.
Playing their final game at
home, the Jackets Friday night
dropped a game to Quitman. 40
to 17. The Quitman cagers were
held to a 13 to 9 lead at the
half, but in the final periods
the visitors found the basket
frequently.
Travis Vance once again led
his team in scores, being re-
sponsible for eleven points. Hur-
ley and Phillips were high for
Quitman, each accounting for
ten points.
The Quitman contest was also
the last game in round-robin
play for both ciuus. At the sea-
son's end, the Jackets had
won three games and lost four
to rank fifth in conference
standing.

Gas Companies
Prepared For
War Services
War finds the gas industry
prepared and on the alert after
a record operating year re-
flecting increased service to war
industry, according to George
S. Hawley of Bridgeport, Conn.,
president of the. American Gas
Association.
"Two years before the shoot-
ing began in Europe, the gas
industry started to prepare it-
self against a state of war
here," Mr. Hawley declared.
"Data obtained from abroad
covering the protection of gas
plants, transmission lines and
other facilities from air raids
and other enemy action, includ-
ing sabotage, have been dis-
tributed throughout the indus-
try, thus anticipating the war."
Operations of the gas indus-
try in 1941 set up new records,
Mr. Hawley said, in the total
number of customers served, the
increased use of gas fuel by
heavy industry reflecting the
important part this fuel is
playing in the nation's war ef-
fort, and in public demand for
the latest fue, and vitamin-
saving types of gas ranges, in-
cluding the certified perform-
ance models.
At the year end, 19,618,000
customers, representing the
largest number ever connect-
ed to the mams of the indus-
try, were served, an increase
of 627,000 over the year 1940.
Total population reached by
the industry is now approxi-
mately 85,000,000.
Revenues of the entire in-
dustry, both manufactured and
natural, aggregated $909,441,000,
a gain of 4.3 per cent over
1940. Sales of natural gas for
industrial purposes showed an
increase of 18.8 This is an all-
time record increase for this
class of consumption, Mr. Haw-
ley said.
