1t Runs Through
My Mind
By POLLY J. HANST

Every time | return home from a
trip and cross the line into Garrett
county, | unconsciously step on the
gas and my spirit ICONS along at a
higher speed, too. That was handed
down to me by our old family horse,
Molly. AS a child | used to ride her
to the postoffice, the country store
or on some errand and every time I'd
turn her head toward home she'd go
into a lively trot. But as we'd enter
the lane, with the least nudge of the
heel, she'd break into a gallop. And
yet, when | turn toward home my
soul gallops
Autumn is still in ner glory on
the top of Bloomington mountain and
around German. Brilliant trees stand
out among the dull ones like fine
jewels on brown velvet.

The company requested and
received an Ohio Public Utilities
Commission Order restricting the
use of gas in new space heating
installations after May II this
year. To protect Ohio FUELS
present customers it will be nec-
essary to maintain that ban at
least until next Spring. according
to w. N. Grinstead, Ohio FUELS
president.
And in spite of Ohio FUELS
overall increase in deliveries, in
dustrial plants will have to
switch from natural gas to SUBJ
stitute fuels during extreme cold
weather periods this Winter. In
dustry receives gas under the
terms of interruptible contracts,
which provide that gas is to be
channeled to home use during
cold weather periods.
With gas use restricted for
space-heating and the prospect
of industrial curtailment during
cold weather periods it would
seem that the shortage" label
should be pinned on the gas in
dustry and companies like Ohio
Fuel.
But actually there's lots of gas
in the Southwest. ..~
The nations gas reserves, its
known supply of gas, reached the
highest point in history last year.
Over six trillion cubic feet of gas
were produced and consumed
during 1850. That's the biggest
production year yet, but at the
same time new discoveries and
extensions of old gas fields NOV
ed the gas reserve total up to
1876 trillion cubic feet.
It had been $50 trillion at the
start of the lear.

companies commercial custom
erS are greater than those in
every other state except Cali
fornia. Commercial" customers
are those who use natural gas
for non-industrial business pur-
poses, according to the gas in
dustry'S classification.
Ohio stands fifth on the list
of states with regard to deliver
les to industrial customers. But
even that standing doesn't show
the true character of Ohio gas
company deliveries of industrial
gas.
Those states which now exceed
Ohio in industrial gas deliveries
are Texas, California, Louisiana
and Kansas. In those states a
good share of the gas goes into
field" or associated industry"
uses.
There it is used to produce or
process more natural gas and
petroleum, to manufacture chem
ical products derived from ma
tural gas and petroleum and to
generate electrical power.
Most of Ohio's industrial gas
goes into processing the products
of a wide variety of industries,
rather being used to produce
more gas or another form of fuel
or power.
And when the field" and "as-
sociated industry" uses of ma
tural gas in the big gas produc-
ing states are deducted, it ap-
pears that Ohio just about tops
all the states in gas deliveries to
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1951-12-06

industries outside the immediate
orbit of natural gas and petrol
cum production and processing.
Ohio's demand for natural gas
is huge under those circums-
tanceS. Granted, Texas and Cali
fornia show larger appetites for
the fuel in overall use: but those
states are among the nations
leading gas producing states.
Texas led the nation last year
in the production of natuarl gas,
California was fourth.
Ohio, on the other hand, must
depend on imports from out-of-
state, principally from the Gulf
Coast and Panhandle regions of
the Southwest.
The Ohio Fuel Gas Company
now gets eighty per cent of all
its gas from the Southwest, in
Guiding the substantial amounts
of gas it supplies such companies
as Dayton Power and Light Com
pay and the Cincinnati Gas and
Electric Company.
That Southwest gas has been
coming into Ohio in constantly
increasing amounts since 1916.
Ohio Fuel has increased its
annual gas deliveries to all its
customers by go per cent since
that time. 1t has extended serv-
ice to $4,000 new customers. II
added $4,000 house-heating
customers to bring its heating
customer total to 100000 at the
end of 1850, more than five times
the $4,000 served at the end oi
1916.

Gas Shortages Attributed To Low Costs

Shortage in the midst of plenty
that's the natural gas situation
in Ohio nd Noble county today.
With the nations known stock
of gas the highest in history,
many parts of the country are
plagued with a gas shortage that
isn't shortage.
Under those circumstances the
man-in-the-street is confused.
Home builders and contractors
are irritated. Many of the gas
companies are frustrated-they
find they have to say Sorry, no
more gas right now," to thou
sands of eager customers. And
whole problem, as Business Week
magazine puts it, "has legislators
and regulators reaching for the
aspirin"
What's causing all this con-
fusion, irritation, Illustration and
an almost nationwide reaching
for aspirin bottles? In five
words: Today's low price on ma
tural gas!
For example, estimates pre-
pared by The Columbia Gas
System show the comparative
costs of heating an average home
in Columbus in 1850 ran as fol-
lows: Natural gas, $50, Coal $143;
Oil, $208.
The folks looking for loW-cost
heating may not have those
figures in that exact detail, but
they know gas costs less. And
hundreds of thousands of them
want to use it for heating.
Industry, too, wants more of
the fuel. It's cheaper to buy and
cheaper to use. You don't need as
many men watching tempera-
lures and manipulating controls
in most gaS-fueled industrial pro-
cesSig. In many cases gas results
in a better finished product.
Other business places, the gas
industry's Commercial" custom
ers, want more gas.
Since 1916, as the post war
price increases of coal and oil
became more pronounced, de-
mands from homeowners, indus
trialists and other business men
have literally produced a three
headed monster which gobbles
up every available foot of gas
and keeps up a constant craving
for much more of the same.
In Ohio particularly, those de-
mands have been of the mons
trous variety.
Ohio is fifth on the list of
states according to population,
but:
l-Ohio gas companies have
more customers using natural
gas than any other state except
California.
2-More Ohio customers use
gas for house-heatig than those
of all other states except Texas
and California.
3-Total gas deliveries in Ohio
to all types of consumers-are
greater than in any state except
Texas and California.
4-Gas deliveries to Ohio's
residential customers are topped
only by those to California
homes. Deliveries to Ohio home
owners exceed those to Texas
residents in spite of the fact that
more Texas homes are heated
with gas.
5-Gas deliveries to Ohio gas

Panel Prefers
Purple Berries
After Freezing

Purple raspberries seem to
freeze better than either red or
black raspberries.
That's the opinion of men,
bers of a taste panel working
with r. r. Barton, Ohio Agri-
cultural Experiment Station hor-
ticulturist, on tests to determine
suitability of purple raspberries
for freezing. Panel members
rated purple berries higher in
quality than the red or black
berries time after time.
Barton will tell some of the
findings of teh taste panel when
he appears on the 21st annual
fruit school program at the sta
ton. Dates of. the fruit school
this year are November 26-28.
A nominal fee will be charged.
Both varieties tested, Sodus
and Marion, are recommended
for freezing, Barton says. Both
have given satisfactory results
in the past two seasons tests.
In addition to taste tests, chem
ical tests to determine concen-
trationS of acids, sugar, and Wit
amin c were made. These tests
indicated both varieties are good
sources of vitamin c.

To maintain those expanded
deliveries and customer increases
the company has completed
$78, 100000 construction program
during the five-year, 1947-1951
period. Construction projects
scheduled for completion this
year will send that total even
higher.
That new construction in
creases Ohio FUELS capacity to
move and deliver gas. But it can
not be fully effective until the
company increases its gas sup
plies.
The increased supplies of gas
already coming to Ohio Fuel
were made possible by the post
war expansion Of the long-dis-
tance pipelines out of the South
west and the company'S stepped
up ability to take gas from those
lines in large volumes on year
round basis.
To do that the company has
built up its underground stor-
age" program. For seven or eight
months out of the year the conf
pany pumps the Southwest gas
into depleted Ohio gas fields.
When cold weather hits, it draws
that gas out of the ground and
sends it to market to bolster the
supplies from the long distance
pipelines and Ohio's own wells.
But even with improved facili-
ties and increased supplies Ohio
Fuel still hasn't been able to
catch up to the increased de-
mands for its products.

Citing other illustrations of the
opportunities that exist for Ne

white graduate engineers.
The conference was co-sponsor-
ed by the National Urban League
and the Tennessee Agricultural
and Industrial State College.
Stressing the advantages of an
education, Jones emphasized that
there were plenty of opportunities
for the Negro youth Of the country
if they were willing to devote the
time and energy to be prepared.
"Success may be 5 percent luck"
he said, "but the other so percent
is being ready for luck when it
comes" Finding a job, Jones
said, is really a selling job, and
the job hunter must provide those
things which his prospective en-
ployer is seeking.
