Above chart shows the abrupt temperature changes during the period
between Saturday, January 16, and Monday, January 25, inclusive. Period
contains a record January day for HEAT and a near record day for COLD
—88 degrees and 5 degrees. Dallas Weather Bureau Temperatures.
Recent reorganization of Lone Star
transportation and distribution properties
into one company makes for additional
coordination of effort in meeting peak demands!
A drop of 74° almost overnight!—
where else but in the Southwest could
that happen ? As the temperature drops,
the need for gas service mounts until,
for example, on Tuesday, January 19,
the demand was over 100% greater
than it was on Saturday, January 16.
Such sudden and peak demands
must be met when they occur They
cannot be prorated over the next
few days or weeks. Few industries face
the same situation Natural Gas does
when a blue Norther suddenly strikes
the Southwest with all its wintry fury.
Keeping Natural gas flowing from
75 different fields through a pipeline
network of 4,800 miles in step with
such abrupt temperature changes to
supply the wartime fuel needs of
the Southwest is a task that requires
the special skill and experience of
4,500 men and women working to-
gether as a team. The work of each
is important in maintaining the de-
pendable, high-quality, low-cost gas
service you know as Lone Star.
