Music Flows On
And On
Machinery of America, from
enormous industrial giants to
delicate scientific instruments, re-
quires vastly lifferent lubrication
methods and presents a continual
challenge to oil men. As an exam-
ple, electric organs won’t make
sweet music unless they are prop-
erly oiled. Tiny bearings in the
instrument’s sound generator need
oil that won’t “freeze up” under
low temperatures. Oil engineers
tested until they found a light-
bodied oil that could be “piped”
through silk threads from the oil
reservoir to the tiny bearings.
Even in a deep freeze test at 45
degrees below zero, the unit re-
mained operative.

Even the floor of the ocean Itself is probed for more oil supplies for
V. S. consumers. Here is an offshore drilling barge in the Gulf of
Mexico, as seen from the air. By tapping ocean, mountain and des'ert
sources, American oil reserves have been increased almost every year,
until they now are at their highest point' in history. This level was
achieved' despite record-breaking production rates. Although the risks
are great, oil men never stop their ’round-the-clock search for more oil.
Polk County’s Alabama-Cous-
hatta Indian Reservation observed
the Centennial of its establish-
ment in 1954. It’s Centennial will
be coextensive with the Texas
Public School Centennial.
In 1850—Twenty-one yeai’s after
the first newspaper was printed in
Texas — there were 34 publications
in the state. Of these, five were
tri-weekly and 29 weekly. There
were no dailies.

Perhaps the shortest speech ever
made at a Texas Press Association
convention was delivered Joy Fred
B. Robinson, publisher of The
Huntsville Item, at the turn of the
century. Entitled “The Pen,” the
speech in full was “Ladies and
Gentlemen: I live, in a town where
daily is demonstrated the fact
that the pen is mightier than the
sword.”
All-Time High For
Oil-Derived Neoprene
An oil-derived synthetic rubber
called neoprene has reached an
all-time high in domestic con-
sumption. Introduced in 1931, the
synthetic rubber offered physical
properties resembling the natural
product. In addition, neoprene is
noted for its resistance to oils,
grease and chemicals. Among the
uses found for it are neoprene
work gloves for the housewife,
rainwear for all members of the
family, garden hose, faucet wash-
ers, and other household items.
Industry uses neoprene for shoe
soles, industrial belting, tires, and
coated fabrics. Oil is an ingredient
in many products which gives
Americans greater convenience
and service.
Miniature Barge
And Rig Teach •
About Oil (
Mounted on a miniature bariy,
a model oil well drilling rig s>x-
and-a-half feet high is enabling
students of the Southwest Louisia-
ba Technical and Vocational Schocil
in Lake Charles, Louisiana, to
learn oil field work. The model
is a working replica and has dri.led
holes as'deep as 52 feet—all “dry
holes” but realistic. Oil men also
have helped the school with sup-
plies and equipment.
