AS the chart shows, there's
less nicotine by far in the
smoke of King Sano : and
less tw-than in the smoke
of any other filter cigarette.
There's a good reason for
this. Only King Sano, of all
leading filter cigarettes,
doesn't depend on a filter tip
alone to screen out nicotine
and tar. The makers Of King

filter the tobacco, too - to

The result Of this exclusive

Killing Yourself" Well. one day
an editor asked: I'm your prac-

about killing themselves? BY
that mean, do they act con-
trary to your orders for their

answered: "Of course, I see
it every day." Then he asked:
How would you like to do a
book on that theme?" said

You can kill yourself by being

By overeating, overdrinking and
by undertaking. BY sleeping too

Overexercise will do it, too,

prove that he is the same great

Would you say a man like

state when they have done

The most prominent labor men
attacked were the Reuther

Each was shotgunned. Walters
life was saved only because a
ringing telephone caused him to
turn sideways at the very split
second that the two-barreled gun
went of. His right hand is still
semiparalyzed as result OF
that attack. The other Reuthel
brother survived a shotgun blast

Mrs. d. M.-Our 22-year-old
daughter has been going with
the same young man for three
years, yet they have shown no
interest in getting married or
even engaged. This boy is the
same age as she is. They met
at college and have exactly the
same interests. My husband and
I think he is too young for her,
but since they like one another
so much, we see no serious OBJ
lection to their getting married.
They both have jobs and the
young man has hopeful future.
In any case, they ought to either
get married or break of with
each other since Susan is not
meeting other young men because
of Jim. She goes on occasional
dates with others. but later tells
Jim all about it as though he
were a girl friend. Then they
laugh the whole thing of.
It's a very odd relationship
for two young people. All
Susans friends are getting
married and she is doing moth
ing about her own future.
Susan My mother can't
see such a thing as a platonic
relationship between persons of
the opposite sex. Jim and just
aren't in love, but we do have
marvellous times together. Why
should 1 break up a friendship
that has given me so much
pleasure? My parents have a
desperate fear of my being an
old maid. but I think there is
plenty of time to worry about
that.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
These parents are putting a
little too much pressure on q
relationship which may still be
in the process of unfolding. but
Susan is unwise in permitting
herself to become almost ex-
clusively preoccupied with q
young man she doesn't believe
she will marry.
Parents naturally get anxious
about a 22-year-old girl who
shows so little interest in getting
married. But they should try tt

that these young people are con-

ling for Jim to mature a httl'
more before committing them
selves. Many parents would b
happy If their children showed
that much wisdom.
On the other hand, Susar

experience.
Estimating that savings for the
statewide drilling industry will
amount to 100000 during the
coming policy year, Shelton en-
phasized that "this saving has
come about through the actions of
contractors themselves in becom-
ing more conscious of insured
losses"
Angus Mcdonald, casualty act
uary to the Texas Insurance Board,
commended the drilling contractors
association for its nationally-recog-
nized safety program, which was
termed instrumental in reducing
drilling accidents.
AS a result of the improved SAT-
ETY. record, Shelton wrote that since
December /, 1852, there has been
a steady decline in workmen's
compensation rates applicable to
contract drilling from the high
point of $1O.O5 per 500 of payroll
in 1852 to the $3.50 mark reached
during the last rate hearing"
Shelton's announcement coin
cides with the AAODC's 18th An
nual National Drilling Industry
Safety Clinic, held last Thursday
and Friday in Dallas. In addition
to the annual event, which attracts
drilling personnel from ever oil
producing state, the association this
year sponsored more than 20 local
safety clinics for field men.

rate of A per cent, compared to
an average SO per cent increase
in 1947-56.
In 1861 domestic demand will
etotal 1O,860,OOO barrels daily and
natural gas 6,O5O,OO0 barrels daily.
Exports will be off to 100000 bar
rels daily.
There are two major explana-
tions for this leveling off of de-
mand during the next five years,
according to the Journal:
Accumulated demand was built
up during war years. Actual full
fillment of this demand was spread
over several years, as producing
and processing capacities had to
be expanded gradually after the
war.
A shift in the fuel patterns, with
petroleum replacing other energy
fuels, occurred rapidly after the
war. This now shows signs Of
tapering off in the coming years.
Petroleum demand after 1861
will be influenced by several i'm
ponderable factors, the Journal
continues. Changes in population
trends, changes in transportation
methods, growth of atomic and So
lar energy, new ways of heating
homes, expanded use Of automa-
ton, are factors that make fore
casting demand past 1861 a haz-
ardous undertaking. But what is
known about their economic effects
points to continued heavy use of
petroleum.
In its forecast of what various
divisions of the industry can ex-
pect in the next five years, The
Oil and Gas Journal predicts:
In drilling. Well drilling can
not continue to increase at the rate
Of growth experienced in the past
five years.

Another Record Year Indicated
For Nations Petroleum Industry

TULSA. Domestic demand for
petroleum products is headed for
another record year in 1857. 1t will
continue its upward trend in the
next five years, but the spectac-
ular gains recorded in the post
war years will be lacking.
That is the prediction made by
The Oil and Gas Journal in its No
vember II issue.
Highlights of the Journal fore
cast for 1857 are:
Total domestic demand will be
up 81 per cent.
Exports will decrease AS per
cent.
Total demand will gain AS per
cent.
Total demand will top 100000
barrels daily in the fourth quarter
Of 1857.
Total supply will reach 10000
900 barrels daily for the first time
in the last quarter of next year.
The largest percentage gain for
the year will be in jet fuel, esti-
mated at 22.7 per cent.
The biggest volumetric gain will
be in the demand for gasoline, up
$4,000 barrels daily.
Daily average increases will be
at a peak in the third quarter,
$4,000 barrels daily over the
same quarter of 1856.
Additions to stocks for the year
will be $1,000 barrels daily less
than for 1856.
New supply will gain 3.9 per
cent in 1857.
Gains in imports will absorb al
most one-third of the total increase
in new supply.
Refinery runs will be up about
IL per cent.
The long-range picture for the
next five years, as forecast by The
Oil and Gas Journal. shows that
demand will increase az an average
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1956-11-17

pared to the total Of 44,516 in 1851.
The rate Of gain was Sc per cent
year for the five-year period.
If drilling were to increase at
the same rate, total competitions
for 1878 would be 10000 wells.
Total we'll compilations from 1856
through 1878 would exceed all the
1,650,000 wells drilled since the
Drake discovery.
Present outlook for drilling is
for continuing increases but with
smaller percentage gains per year.
Drillers may expect to drill 1900
wells in 1857, cut PSI, 100000 feet
of hole. The annual drilling pro-
gram will increase to $4,000 wells
by 1861, with 3OS,2OO,000 feet of
hole.
In production. Ratio Of reserves
to production is sliding. The over
all ratio is expected to decline
slightly the next five years. Most
of the reduction will be in natural
gas with a smaller effect from
natural-gas liquids.
Volume of new oil and gas found
is expected to be 10000 barrels
per we'll in 1857, $4,000 barrels in
1858, and a dip to 114,000 barrels
in 1861.
In refining. Big problem for re-
finers in the next five years will
continue to be expanding process
ing. Processing plans will be gov
erned by two expected develop
ments in fuels:
Jet fuels will account for a fail
percentage of the overall increase
in demand for motor fuels over
the next five years.
Higher octane gasoline will b.
in great demand. AS anti-knocl
requirements move above 10000
tame for new cars on the road, tn,
refiner will be faced with a prob
lem.
Total capacity on calendar da.
basis is expected to reach 10000,
900 barrels daily by the end o
1859, and almost II 100000 barrel
daily by the end of 1861. This rep
resents an addition of almost 2,
100000 barrels daily for the six
year period 1861.
In pipelining. Gas discoverie
and potential gas markets coul

lines a year in the next five years

Texas Drillers Win
Insurance Rate Cut

Dallas.-Texas drilling contract
ors were notified last week that a
7c per 500 payroll reduction in
the manual rate for workmen's
compensation insurance was ap-
proved by the state Insurance De-
partment at its annual rate hear
ings.
In a letter to members of the
American Association of Oilwell
Drilling Contractors, insurance con-
sultant Joseph M. Shelton pointed
out that the reduction in manual
rate for the drillers contrasts with
the 1.3 per cent increase for oil
classes generally. The rates are
based on the previous two years
