Eastern States Now Face
Serious Fuel Shortage
The United States News, of
Washington, D. 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.—

- is for Kilowatt
That works many ways
To lighten your burdens
And brighten your days.
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.
