Trunkline Gas Files
Expansion Plans

HouStOn.-Trunklin Gas Com
pany of Houston has filed with
the Federal Power Commission in
Washington it's plans for an $81.5
million construction and expansion
program involving initially an in
crease of 1876, 100000 cubic feet of
gas in the pipelines daily capacity.
Trunkline notified the Commission
that this is the first step in an
overall program which will event
ually supply 1000, 100000 cubic feet
of gas daily to Consumers Power
Compay of Jackson, Michigan, a
utility which serves a large area
of outstate Michigan.
w. X. Sanders, President of
Trunkline, announced that the
company will build, once Federal
Power Commission approval is
granted, 204-mile extension of
its main line from central Illinois
to the Indiana Michigan border

igan's largest distributors of nat
ural gas, serving AGO, 900 homes in
some 300 communities in that
State.
"The Consumers Power Company
has advised Trunkline Gas Com
pany that due to the growing de-
mand for natural gas as a domes-
tice fuel, Consumers Power Com
pany has experienced an acute
shortage in the past few years.
Many of those on the waiting list
of over 100 thousand homes will
be served by this new supply from

principal areas served by Consum-
ers are grouped around the cities
of Pontiac, Flint, Saginaw, Lans-

This represented an increase of

in daily average resulted from one
less producing day in the latest re-
ported month.
Gross production of natural gas
was 1926, $4,000, a decrease of
1,842, l04 900 cubic feet in March.
The three refineries in the state
processed 536,665 barrels of crude
oil in April, decrease of lat 1888
barrels from March.

provides that Alaska will be al
lowed to select 1925 million acres
of vacant, unappropriated and un-
reserved public lands to establish
tax base.
The state may open these lands
for oil and mineral development.
And the oil industry expects that
the regulations which will be adop-

those of the federal government
under which they now must oper-

A year ago only 6.5 million acres

another 80 million acres will be

Los Angeles Group

Los Angeles, Calf, July 7-Dr.
]. ]. Seabrook, President of Hus-
ton illotson college told the Hus-
n-Tillotson Alumni Association
last week, the Negro College is
still vital and predicted it will be
for many years to come despite
progress being made toward inte-
grafton.
"Of course some changes must
be made" the noted Educator adj
ded. "The Negro College has res
possibility to assist in the adjust
ment to our changing society, by
developing qualified leadership"
AT Huston Tillotson we have re-
vised our curriculum and making
serious study to gear our program
to serve the best interests of our
sponsors and the young people who
attend the school, in an intergrated
society"
He predicted we will not achieve
total Indignation until there is con-
tinuity from pre-school through
the total training period and urged
his listeners to observe those COM
munities who have instituted inte-
grafton at the pre-school level.
He also announced that Huston

is returned. The money withheld
amounts to $17,762.16 in a contin-
gency fund and $13,554.63 which is
unappropriated for equipment.
News of the Negro schools being
deprived of furnishings came to
light when Negro citizens wrote a
letter thanking the county board
for providing facilities for the
education of all children of the
community, but inquired:
"We would, however, like to ask
when with the other equipment re-
moved from some of the Negro
schools be put back so that our
children may get the full benefit of
its use for their training?"
The furniture included refriger-
ators in the cafeterias, furnishings
in the teachers lounges, desks in
some offices and some. desks in
classrooms at Lille Cooper Gle
mentary school and Terrell Negro
high school.
1t is being used in white schools
and in the office of County School
Superintendent Frank Christie. The
school chief had pledged twice in
writing that the equipment would
be returned to the Negro schools,
but finally said he did not intend
to return it.

plan to attach other customers.
The additional facilities now pro-
posed will increase Trunkline's de-
livery capacity from its present
375 million cubic feet Og gas daily
to $40 million cubic feet of gas
daily in the first year of the de-
liveries to Consumers" Sanders
added.
The announcement by Trunkline
in Houston was timed to coincide
with the company's filing the nee
essary documents for such an ex-
pansion with the Federal Power
! Commission in Washington. The.
Commission has been urged to give
! prompt consideration to this ex-
pansion program in order that
Trunkline could start its necessary
construction by January l, 1859, at
the latest. The construction pro-
gram will take about nine months
! to complete and is timed to provide
gas to the Michigan homes for the
1959-1cSO winter heating season.

Alaska Statehood
May Spur Drilling

The way to what may be one of
this century's greatest drives to
develop new oil reserves, is the
ultimate entry of Alaska as full
fledged member of the Union.
That's the viewpoint taken by The
Oil and Gas Journal in it's July 7
issue.
1t is estimated that 100 million
acres of Alaska is geologically
favorable for oil. Over half of this
is an uncharted wilderness.
Chief interest of the oil industry
in the Alaska statehood move is
possible changes in land owner
ship and leasing rules. AS a ter
ritory, the federal Government
owned over 99R of Alaska's 375.3

ready to invest up to $500 million
the search for new reserves.
"It's still months away, but when
Alaska votes, there1l be another
oil state with lot of promise for
explorers" The Journal says.
Things to anticipate: higher taxes
to replace federal support, per-
haps easier, faster leasing"

Corn Harvest appears
Sure To Match Grains

Corn, traditional beIlwether of farm
crops in the Bluffton area, furnishing
the foundation for hog raising for
which this section is noted, appears
likely to provide another bumper har-
vest for local farmers.
Many farm observers are reporting
that the prospects are for the largest
corn crop in the past decade in this
vicinity, if August weather runs true
to form. If the predicted abundant
harvest proves true, this viii be a
good year for local farmers who have
just completed marketing huge wheat
and oats crops.
Counting themselves unusually for
tunate, Bluffton farmers find they do
not have to drive far from home to
find the crop picture the reverse. The
heavy rains in June and July have
all but ruined the corn in many near
by areas.
There are some spotty fields in this
area where water has not drained
quickly enough and plants were stunt
ed, but the crop as a whole looks
better than good.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1958-08-07

All roads will lead to Bluffton Fri
day and Saturday as downtown mer-
chants join to sponsor the semi-annual
Dollar Days, an event which is looked
forward to by thrifty shoppers in a
Is mile radius.
The sale is regarded as the largest
merchandising event of the year and
the values being offered by the CO.
operating merchants should set this
summer sale off as perhaps bigger
than any of the others.
Contributing to the outstanding bar
gains is the fact that many merchants
are anxious to begin clearance of
summer merchandise from their
shelves.
Another factor contributing to busi-
ness optimism is that area farmers
are completing one of their finest
wheat and oats harvests in many
years. Last years grain harvests
were disappointing to both farmers
and merchants, as the rather lean
checks did not stretch very far.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1958-08-07

An oddity of this seasons corn is
that the low black dirt areas which
usually produce best are producing
the stunted corn because the water
has lain in pools during the early
stages of development The knolls and
hilltops where corn is usually stunted
for lack of moisture, are the best
producing areas this season.
Oldtimers report that this is the
first time in their memory when the
soil top has remained wet through
out the entire period of June and July.
Corn has tasseled and is pollinating
at present, and in many stalks two
ears have sprouted where usually one
grows. 1t remains to be seen whether
both develop fully or one becomes
only nub.
Always keeping an eye on the
weather and never counting chick
ems before they're hatched," farmers
are proud of the extreme height of
the stalks in their fields, but they're
worried now at the damage which
might occur in heavy wind storm.
