So This Is New York

In spite of transportation problems,
this town is full of visitors. Hotels are
jammed and nobody seems to know why.
A typical newcomer, | think, was a cous-
in OF mine from Rossville, Ca, named
Harold North who dropped in unex-
pectedly a few days ago. | had forgot
ten his age, but since he said he was on
a buying trip for a department store,
| asked him how old he was. He replied
that he would be seventeen on the fol-
lowing Thursday. This aroused my
curiosity and | was also interested in
what a young man of that age thinks
of New York City on his first visit here.
To my surprise, Harold was not par
ticularly carried away by the big city.
1t seems that he had seen so many
movies showing the New York Skyline,
Times Square, Broadway, etc., that many
of the scenes were not new to him. Then
being a rather alert young fellow; his
other impressions merely substantiated
those he already had. He is considered
a valuable employee, too, in this firm,
especially since it will be q year before
he will be eligible for the draft. Also,
he has finished high school with a good
record, and in a student contest, he was
elected "Chief Justice Of the Supreme
Court of Georgia" for a day, in keeping
with the custom of the school boys down
there of temporary taking over the
government.
I. rr,a~l - p.on,nv, aknuy
the big ship Normandie. Wall Street, a
radio network broadcast, a name dance
band, and Chinatown. OF course he was
interested in Times Square, that almost
legendary diamond-shaped area which
is as unsquare as it is dark. He was a
bit disappointed at missing the brilliant
lights but said that he'd be back after
the war to see the place all lit up. He
took a ride on the one remaining ele-
waited railroad and was amused as we
rode along Third Avenue because he was
able to see inside of so many peoples
windows and observe them performing
all Of their domestic tasks-from parlor
to bathroom. From a window high in an
apartment hotel building, l pointed out
to him the Hotel New Yorker, where he
was staying, and he was impressed by
the vista of towering buildings jutting
out above Manhattan. He even wanted
to see Central Park, but, when. l ex-
planned to him that it was much like
his own pleasant Georgia. landscape, he
decided to explore Radio City instead.
These and other things he saw and en-
joyed, but ! was surprised at his utter
calmness through it all, for he was the
exact opposite of the op~en-mouthed,
gawking country boy that l once was.
like a visit to London is now and some
thing to be surprised over and talked
about. | recall one prominent man in
the little town where l lived who hap
pened to visit New York City on busi-
ness, n after he returned, for several
weeks he RECALLED and bored his friends
by his o~ft-repeaten reports Of what he
had seen in the big city. He succeeded
mainly in making all of them envious,
and l feel sure hat if he had had many
such occasions, the community would
have been up in arms and ready to run
him out of town.

THE OIL FAMINE

The man-made oil shortage forecast
in this column nearly a year ago is now
being felt. Americans who drive cars,
a class of approximately 1000 a day,
have realized since the reduction of
gasoline rations that the shortage was
no fake. Motor fuel is Enthusiastically
scarce. What many motorists do not
realize is that this sacrifice need never
have been necessary.
"On account Of the war;" a hack
phrase offered this year to cover up all
manner Of stupidity. is used to explain
the petroleum shortage, and the roar of
air-borne tonnage adds conviction -
this Christmas by cold oil stoves or
stand patiently for hours in over-crowd-
ed cars and buses actually are not
helping win the war. Rather are they
being hindersd when they would gladly
work for victory and peace.
Plenty o. OIL
known oil pools in the United States
are being exhausted New wells are be-
ing sunk at all fairly certain locations.
Old wells are being pumped for all they
will yield wherever pumping does not
cost more than the oil will bring at
present prices. But all this is not
enough! America needs new oil pools
and needs them sorely because big new
fields gush. In normal times a new pool
often yields more than enough oil, max
ing gasoline cheap all over the country.
Recently l read the following signifi-
cant sentence in the business section of
a metropolitan daily newspaper.
Daily average crude oil production
rose last week to a further all-time high
while gasoline reserves dipped to an
other new wartime low"
Stocks Decline
And what does it meant It means
that men of the petroleum industry are
drawing more from Mother Earth
than she ever yielded before and it is
still not sufficient. Trying their best
they can't make enough gasoline from
the crude oil they are getting to meet
wartime needs. Meanwhile official
Washington refuses to grant oil price
increase to encourage prospecting for
new fields.
No longer ago than 1889 the United
States was producing about three-fifths
of all the crude oil used in the world.
Now America is importing oil. Early
in November the Petroleum Industry
War Council released a story to the pa
pers saying that a large portion of Pc
troleum war demands are being taken
from other than United States sources.
Apparently bureaucratic %bunglers have
choked off home sources Of oil and be-
gun buying from foreigners.
Destructive Prices
In years past an oil scarcity has been
no serious obstacle to the petroleum
industry because economic laws were
not then frozen by bureaucratic edicts.
When oil got, scarce, il. went. up in price
accordingly. When it goes high enough
profits tempted wildcatters tmo test var
ious untried locations and some of them
always found oil. Then the price came
down again. The same thing could hap
pen now. M
But today prices are not permitted to
rise as oil gets scarce, SO oil stays
scarce. We buy abroad. Technically
somebody might deny that oil prices
have not advanced lately. The OPA has
permitted occasional, local price rises Of
sc or l0c a barrel. The national average
oil price has not advanced more than

DemobiIizution Plan

Recognizing the fact that it will take time to convert
our soldiers back into civilians at the conclusion OF the war
many programs are now being advocated by several groups
to benefit the returning soldier.
A realistic treatment of the problem of rehabilitation is
shown in the plan advocated by the National Association of
Manufacturers. This plan would provide:
Clothing allowance of 500 upon discharge; three weeks
furlough and transportation to and from home for those not
to- be ~demobiized Immediately; full base pay UP. to 500 a
month and full family allowances for the first three months
after discharge, and maximum base pay of $50 a month for
the second three months, with family allowances;
Vocational training in the period before rehabilitation
and as rapid demoblization as is consistent with military
