Since my loved one has departed
Gone before to SHOW the wsy.

Are ulmmed now that you're gone

Time glides on leaden feet:
To the ancient door of eternity.
Where once more We shall meet.
! miss you no less as time passes on
Than | did on the dav Of your going
For absence can never close the door Of
my heart
And the lamp OF my love is still
slowing.
As loved YOU. so I miss you.
In my memory you are always near
Loved remembered, longed for always
Bringing MANY silent tear
Love is the treasure you opened.

Battle Continues
While Louisiana and the In

discuss terms on just where the
States territorial waters end
and United States jurisdiction
begins. and while California
perfectS its leasing plans, oil
companies hunt for pipe to keep
on with such drilling as they
are now permitted.
This includes drilling already
under way by 10 rigs in the dis
puted area of the Louisiana
coast. New leasing and new
drilling starts there were en-
Joined by the court. In all zones
some 80 rigs were operating In
mid July.
Some of the big companies are
believed to have enough pipe
on hand to keep going for 9
while, although overall supplies
have been tight since the war.
Oil wells already producing
