Mrs. Klopp is president of the Midwest Book Reviewers Guild. The book, published a month ago, has reached third place in popularity ranking at the pres ent time despite its bulky size and historical background, ac cording to Mrs. Klopp. With 20 years of preparation and four years of actual writing, tnc author has given a novel soundly based on historical fact, Mrs. Klopp told her listeners. The sory of the Civil War and the Confederacy as told through the decline of an aristocratic family, the Currains. the novel portrays the economic trends of the South in the war days, the altitude of the leaders towards the Northerners and the reac tions of individual members of the Currain family towards the War. A pageant of the embattled South, tiie story as told by Mrs. Klopp held the interest of her audience throughout the review. The knowledge of the relation ship of Abraham Lincoln to the Currain family and the antici pation of the revelation to mem bers of the family served to keep the listeners in suspense and in terest at a high pitch. The third review in the series is scheduled for Wednesday night, November 12.

So when your local gas man tells you he cannot supply the Natural Gas you want for heating your home or for use in your business . . . please remember that hundreds of thousands of other citizens . . . from Maine to Oregon ... are getting the same answer and sharing the same disappointment. But," you ask, "when is the situation going to clear If you want Natural Gas for heating your home or for use in your business and can't get it right now . . , this message is for you. There is enough Natural Gas in the gas fields. There is no shortage of Natural Gas. We have it, and wc most certainly would like to sell more of it. belling gas is our business. The point is: WE HAVE SUFFICIENT GAS BUT i WE CANT GET IT TO YOU! Why? Because Natural Gas is brought to your community through great pipes laid underground. It must be pumped hundreds of miles by huge compressor sta tions. These pipes and pumps are made of steel and iron . . . and steel and iron are short, very short! lne result has simply been that our expansion program is far behind schedule. We are building all we can . . . we are getting all the pipe we can . . . but still not fast enough. The demand for Natural Gas has out stripped our ability to get pipe and machinery to handle it. During the war years, any substantial expansion of our system was impossible because of Federal regula tions and because of a nationwide lack of manpower and other greater needs for critical materials. Ime:' diately the war was over and controls on fuels litted, demand for Natural Gas shot up, and existing pipe line capacity was quickly absorbed. By the end ot . this year, the capacity of our system will have been INCREASED OVER 60 PER CENT SINCE THE TERMINATION OF THE WAR. Even with this tremendous increase, pipe line capacity is far short of meeting demands. That's why you may not be able to get all the Natural Gas you would like to have. The scarcity of steel has its influence upon the ready availability of other fuels. It has slowed down the production of many things . . . such as height cars, pipe for oil lines, automobiles, and numerous other articles made from iron and steel. Its effect is nation- up We wish we could give you a definite answer. Frank ly, we don't know, because it is not within our control. But this we do know: 1 Despite difficulties we have succeeded in in creasing the capacity of our pipe line system from 243 million cubic feet per day in 1945 to 325 million cubic feet per day at present; and by the end of this year, work in progress is expected to provide a further increase to 390 million cubic feet per day. I ' Applications have been filed for and plans have been made to boost the system capacity , to 580 million cubic feet per day. Pipe and compressors for this program have been or dered for months and completion of these additions will depend on how soon we can -' ' get the pipe, machinery and other materials. t. Ac rAAUrn ranacitv is added, it will be dis tributed as equitably as possible among the communities served by Northern. 4. Our entire organization will continue to exert every effort toward expansion and nothing , will be spared to bring you more Natural Gas ; as fast as conditions permit. Northern Natural Gas Company, which supplies the gas for resale by the local Gas Utility in your com munity, provides the Natural Gas supply for 233 cities and towns in seven states with a population of more than two million people. The accompanying map of Northern's main pipe lines is presented to give the reader a general idea of the extent of the service area of the Company. FOR LACK OF STEEL.... "For lack of steel, freight-car building is slowed, pipe lines are not built as fast as needed, t or lack of such transport, coal cannot move fast enough, and shortages of oil and natural gas are threatening. Steel shortages hold doun auto pro duction and farm machinery output, bo the supply of autos lags far behind demand. Ami the world-wide shortage of farm machinery con tributes to food scarcity and high prices. Steel enters into production of nearly everything, directly or indirectly." from The United States ISews, Uciooer o, RH MfURAt. GAS COMPANY General Offices: Aquila Court Building Omaha, Nebraska
