.LREADY natural gas is playing an
important part in national defense
activities in the Southwest, where army
cantonments, airplane factories, and
numerous other defense projects are
dependent upon natural gas fuel serv-
ice. Whatever it takes to get gas to these
armv camps and national defense
plants, we will do it! Out goes the word
to more than 3/>00 employees and Lone
Star Gas System rises to the occasion of
the national emergency. Being accus-
tomed to emergencies our employees
with one accord subscribe to this policy
of preparedness, "Whatever it takes
it shall be done."
Throughout the 4,800 miles of inter-
connected pipeline system and its asso-
ciated facilities for dependable service
—engineers, foremen, construction
gangs, compressor station forces, drill-
ing crews,supply depots,executives and
personnel—all are alert to their new-
est responsibilities of public service.*

LONE STAR
GAS
LONE STAR GAS SYSTEM
PIONEERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF DEPENDABLE GAS SERVICE FOR MORt THAN THREE DECADES
SPEAKING OF MORAN
(By Jot)
From now on thinga will happen
fast in Moran—at least a* far •*
!h«' school activitiM are concerned.
Ilusiest cla*# of the lot i« the sen-
ior f?roup. Between rehearsal* of
their class play, "Miss Ginger,"
they are to sandwich a trip
to Hardin-Simrnons University
Saturday, and a certain amount ot
study. Immediately after the pre-
sentation of their play Thursday
niifht, May 1, they will be enter-
tained by the Baptist W. M. U. at
a banquet May 2. The next week
will see them on their way to
Carlsbad Caverns for their Senior
Day outing. And in the meantime
they must, attend the Junior-Senior
banquet and prepare for their com-
mencement activities.
Speaking of the school, the
tennis courts just west of the hitf1*
school buiblinj; are in K""'l shape
now. The main thing that they
need is to be played on daily, so
the weeds will not cover them. !!•
K. Weber and Mr. and Mrs. Bill
Raymond were taking advantage
of the courts n few week ago, and
they and others might get together
and form a tennis club this suni-
Everything seems to be (|uict in
the city hall at present. Justice J.
J. Ilitt had to yield priority in hi*
office for a couple of days while
city and school elections were held,
but he is back in authority now.
The next election scheduled,is that
of June UK, when Texas voters will
go to the polls to name a successor
to the late Senator Morris Shep-
herd. The consensus here is that
Governor W. Lee O'Daniel will be
a candidate for the office, and most
observers believe that if he runs he
will be elected.
And the battle for the title of
Most Eligible Bachelor in Moran
continues. Mayor Fred Smith re-
cently strengthened his position as
defending champion by brushing
up on his social poise in Galveston,
but Ralph Snyder, not to be out-
done as a worthy challenger, start-
ed mowing his lawn once mor.-,
thus reassuring the feminine por-
tion of the local population of his
desirability as a yard man.
What will the next move be?
First Kinory Mor s and his cohorts
filled up tin: low places at the side
of the highway i.i front of tho
Methodist church, so the water
wouldn't Hood the entrance to I'Mu-
cation Row. Then the Highway
Department comes along and
builds up the highway. Now will
Kmory have to build up the ditch
again'.'
In mentioning the service station
! operators of Moran recently, Joo
| neglected to include li. I.. Chaney,
who is operating the station for-
merly owned by John I,oven.
Hack on the job again atyer a
brief illness is H. J. Locke, man-
ager of the St. Mary properties
here.
Nominations for best - dressed
man in the Kaster parade have
been coining in fast, but so far
Mole Freeman holds a command-
ing lead over all rivals. Mote'i
supporters insist that it was his
"straw katy" that set him off from
the rest of the competitors.
Chester Allen believes that the
so-called "dumb" animals are real-
ly not so dumb. His sons, Jerrelt
and Billy, have a pony that is as
gentle as a lamb when he is being
ridden by children. One can see
that the horse is obviously being
careful not to hurt the youngsters.
But when an adult is the horse-
man, it is a different story entire-
ly, Chester states, for the pony im-
mediately becomes unruly and is
likely to start bucking.
Other operators of lawn mower*
will have to set a fast pace to out-
do J. G. Terry, who needed ail
automatic oiler to keep the bear-
| ings of his mower from squeaking
j last Monday afternoon. His speed
I was little short of terrific as he
I gave his lawn a haircut
Charlie Folk must have been
on his way to work Monday as he
passed through town with his saw,
hammer, and square. I-ater ha
was seen at the L. A. Waters res-
idence, and Lewis was giving the
preliminary directions.
Friends of Mr. J. W. Smith are
glad to know that, he is feeling
much better after a great deal of
trouble with a broken hip. He is
at his home now, having returned
from the hospital about two weeks
ago.
Friends of William Gay are tell-
ing that he and a thunderstorm aro
not on speaking terms. It seems
that this particular thunderstorm
was too loud and abrupt to suit the
nervous system of the genial prin-
cipal.
