Remember SS at the Methodist
church. Each member come out and
help carry on work for the Lord.
What if each one of us that had
job just went out to work when
we felt like going and when the

or woman he could depend upon.

isn't like that. For I'm afraid we
would be left out. So let's remem-
ber to come out when we possibly
can and work more faithfully for
the One who died for us. Can He
depend upon you?

W WORLD
Natural resources made the pulp and paper industries possible
in Texas. The forests, the water, the chemicals, the natural gas.
But none of these would be worth a cent unless they
were put to use... for the benefit of mankind.
Take natural gas, for example. Stored deep in the earth, natural
gas is a worthless resource. But it becomes valuable when
it is gathered, processed and moved to market where it can be used
as a convenient, inexpensive fuel. This is the function of the
United Gas companies—to give value to a natural
y' resource that would otherwise be worthless or wasted. This is
practical conservation, for it stimulates industrial development,
creates jobs, and benefits all the families in Texas.

PULP AND PAPER
The 33 pulp and paper establishments operating
in Texas during the year of 1945 employed
3,902 persons with payrolls amounting to
$8,671,000. The industry's production during
this period was valued at $28,626,000. This is
another example of Free Enterprise at work
—private capital and private citizens working
together to bring prosperity to Texas and
all her people.

Brother Smith brought us some
wonderful messages this week end
We are happy that we have all
of our new seats for church made
we like part of them sanded but

Standing still, it has the eager
look of a pointer scenting
game, so swift and flowing are its
lines.
Sweeping by, it stands out unfail-
ingly from the highway crowd,
unmistakably a Buick and un-
questionably the year's trimmest
fashion plate.
But have you traveled in one of
these tidy new beauties?
Have you seen for yourself how
smooth and silent is its flow of
power, how hushed and quiet is
its ride?
This comes from many things.
From Fireball power now Hi-
Poised for throbless smoothness.
From a Vibra-Shielded ride that

against road-noise, body-drum

This new lining cloaks your Buick
in new and delightful silence akin
to that of your own living room —
silence that encourages normal-
tone conversation, makes soft
