C., and which is devoted entirely to the analysis and publication of news of na tional concern, is definitely con sidered as last-word authority. Read what it says about the na tional oil situation as of July 24, 1942. The editorial staff of this pub lication is composed of such out standing international authorities as David Lawrence, Owen L. Scott, Walter Husted, A. S. Mc Leod, Alfred D. Steadman, Car son F. Lyman, W. B. Rogsdale, and many other experts: “Millions of families in eastern states and many families in other states are going to be cold next winter. The cause will be short-1 age of fuel, not a shortage of | shelter. Worst sufferers will be' east coast residents who heat their homes with fuel oil. These families definitely will be ration ed. But prospects are none too bright for users of coal, or, in some areas, of gas. A survey of winter fuel prospects for Ameri cans reveals these facts: “For those who heat with fuel: Normally, the 17 eastern states and the District of Columbia burn 1.130.000 barrels of fuel oil a day during January and February, the coldest months. The best they can hope for next winter is 791, 000 barrels a day—70 per cent of their normal requirements. “This means that homes must be weather-proofed, heat shut off in unused portions of the house, fireplaces kept burning. Even then, temperatures can go no higher than 65 degrees (normal temperature: 68-72 degites) in the day, and 55 degrees at night ‘‘Reasons for this outlook: Fuel oil stocks now are 50 per cent lower than they were a year ago, when they should be rising to build supplies for the winter months. Present overland ship ments to the East of oil products, including gasoline, approximately 954.000 barrels a day. A net gain of 100,000 barrels a day is ex pected before winter when the Texas-Illinois pipeline begins to operate. Even with this addition, total shipments of gasoline and oil will fall below normal re quirements for fuel oil alone. "The Petroleum Industry War Council estimates that at least 100.000 barrels of oil a day from tankers is needed to keep the East supplied, and that, if gaso line consumption remains at present rates, daily tanker ship ments must be boosted to 300,000 barrels a day. "But the outlook for oil from tankers continues to be dark. Some tankers are being used now, but prospects are that they must be drafted for war supply work. Thus East Coast residents may look forward to more stringent gasoline rations in order to assure | minimum supplies of fuel oil. “Oil users in other areas also may have their supplies cut, par ticularly in the Midwest. This re gion is likely to be allowed less oil than usual because of the need to make shorter overland hauls to the East. Even now, new oil burners cannot be installed in midwestern states. ‘‘For those who burn coal, the situation is brighter, but only if they fill their bins in the next few weeks. Secretary Ickes gives the East only 60 more days to complete this job. Thereafter trucks and trains will be needed for their goods, and coal will flow directly from mines to industrial ulants. “Summer stock-piling of coal is urged because Canada is rely ing on this country to deliver 6, 000,000 more tons this year than last. Furthermore, railroads are being called upon to ship coal to New England that formerly was carried by boat. Railroads doubt their ability to meet1 this demand unless summer buying steps up ” This same condition may hit us with, a jolt out here in Nebraska when we least expect it—eatas trophies always do. Do you think Nebiaska will be allowed plenty, while the East is rationed? Then atop this oil and gas shortage the manufacturers of synthetic rubber are demanding millions of additional barrels of oil. The politicians from the Grain Belt are demanding that rubber be made from grains re gardless of which industry can produce the most and best rub ber. The great bulk of American citizens stand helplessly by and watch the dog-fight, while gas and oil rationing creeps closer.— Advertisement. BRIEFLY STATED Mr. and Mrs. D. V.

IN the electric business, kilowatt hours are spoken of as measurements for electricity —like quarts and gallons measure liquids, or inches and yards measure piece goods. But to you. the user of electricity, kilowatt hours are units of energy, each an indi vidual worker within himself, capable of performing various tasks for you. In the home, kilowatt hours are employed almost daily for such duties as running clocks, powering the vacuum cleaner, washing and ironing the family laundry, cooking meals, heating water, running the radio, ringing the doorbell, and—of course—doing the job that has been the assignment of electricity since its inception—providing adequate, sight-saving light. In the business and professional world, kilowatt hours have an even greater variety of jobs to do. With this variety of work-saving tasks that they perform daily, it is extremely interesting to note that the cost of their hire is extremely low—less by far. in fact, than the wages of an Oriental coolie to whom a few cents a day would resemble a small fortune. , Another In a Series of Advertisements Depicting Consumers “From A to Z" BUY WAR BONDS EVERY PAYDAY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, AUGUST 14 AND 15 WHEN APPETITES LAG ...
