Talk On Oil
Industry Heard
BY Roiarians

S. c. Meisburg, assistant state
manager for the Standard Oil
Company, was the guest speaker
at the weekly luncheon meeting
Of the Pascagouia Rotary Club
Wednesday at the Community
House.
Prior to the program, Thoma
r. Wells made several announce
ments OF interest and introduced
visiting Rotarians and guests. Dr.
S. B. McIlwain also made an an
nouncement concerning the dedi
cation ceremonies at the FRS
Baptist church Sunday, extend
ing an invitation to members ano
their friends 10 attend. E. II. Bai
cot read a letter from the Pas
cagoula Civic Club urging tn
public TO attend the hearing be
fore the County Board of Super,
visors Tuesday morning at 1000
o'clock on proposed adoption o.
coming ordinances for the coun'
iy beach front.
Mr.. Meisburg was introduced
by A. r. Dantzier, Jr., loca
Standard Oil agent, who was pro.
gram leader.
MI. Meisburg told of the
growth and history OF the oil in
dustry, and cited as one of the
eldest natural resources OF man
used in many ways and for many
purposes IN ancient times.
No one can estimate our presen'
oil reserves, he said, despite pre-
dictions that we have only a Is
Or i0-year supply because of the
fact that no one knows what
new fields will be discovered be-
fore the present known supply Is
exhausted. Up until 1912, he said
IS billion barrels of oil have been
sued. and is billion discovered.
Science developed by the oil
industry, however. is not depend
mt on the present crude oil, Mr..
Meisburg said in closing, because
gasoline can be made from coal,
the limitless shale deposits OF
he nation, or even from leaves
or any other substance containing
he necessary chemical elements.
