word Sunday that they were bran

Teresa Christine, born that day to
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Tims in
Electra. Mother and babe are get-
ting along fine.
Today the U. S. oil industry will be called on to supply the
United States with 6,400,000 barrels of U. S. oil. It supplied that
amount every day last week, and will supply it every day this week
and next. It is a million barrels a day more than the peak of World
War II, and it is 65% more than it was in 1940.
An increasing amount of today’s oil goes to the needs of
national defense, but the bulk of it supplies power for the millions
of cars and trucks on American highways, the hundreds of thousands
of tractors on American farms, and for the industries that make all
die things that add up to a high American standard of living.
More cars, more tractors, more industries mean a need for
more oil, year after year. This need has required the oil industry to
look far ahead, to keep itself more than ready to supply current needs.
It must be able quickly to meet increased demands.
And it is. Since World War II, U. S. oil companies have
plowed back into the development of U. S. oil resources about
ready!
$8 billion to find more oil, to increase oil production, to extend pipe
lines and build tankers, to increase and improve refining capacity.
So the oil industry has been ready for the Korean emergency
all along. It supplies today’s greatly increased demand for oil in its
stride. As still heavier demands are placed upon it, the industry is
confident that it can supply them, too. It will be a big job. And make
no mistake about it: it will involve many problems; consumers may
be called on to make sacrifices; the job will require time for change
and adjustment. But the oil industry is better prepared than ever
before to take it on.
