A New Years Message
by the
National Board of SOS

In this season of searching ex-
animation and repentance, many
will ask themselves if they have
done enough to ease the suffering
of Europe's Jews. In real sense
it is given to American Jews to
answer this question for our breth-
rem overseas: "WhO shall live and
who shall die?"
It is fitting, therefore, that be-
ginning with Rosh Hashonah, the
sos Supplies for Overseas Sur
vivors) Collection Of the Joint
Distribution Committee launches
Special Fall Campaign for 6,OOO,-
900 pounds of food, clothing, and
other relief supplies for the sur
viving Jews overseas.
In UNRRA-less Europe, SOS re-
lief supplies have become a matter
of life and death to thousands.
Under the operation of the pitt
fully inadequate IRO, the meager
diet of 100000 DPS is shrinking
alarmingly: from the former
standard of 2,4O0 calories daily to
1000 calories consisting chiefly of
starches. The calls for help upon
the JDC for supplementary food
are reaching crisis proportions,
draining the funds which JDC re-
,ceives from the United Jewish APP
peal. (The average American re-
quires 5000 to 1000 calories daily
and often consumes that amount
at single meal.)
Under these circumstances and
with famine and initiation in most
European countries endangering
the reconstruction effort of the
million or more Jews struggling to

RAW NATURAL GAS must nearly always
be processed in one or more ways before
it is suitable for use. In the Gwinvil1e gas
field, of Jefferson Davis County, for
example, the raw gas contains so much
moisture that it needs dehydration before
it can be moved to market in h%igh-pres-
sure pipe lines.
United Gas, providing a market outlet for
a number of producing wells in the Gwin-
vile field, has built many miles of gath
ering lines, complete with we'll hookups,

stations. And now it is building a dehydra-
ton plant to help Mississippi producers
market their gas 3. i. and to make more gas
available to additional Mississippi homes
and industries.
This is only one of several ways in which
United Gas is making a marketable COM
modify of gas that might otherwise remain
worthless in the ground-giving value to
Mississippi's gas resources-by making
them available for use.

He defends the reputation Of this
