Cure For Shortage By GBORGE S. BENSON Fmidiat ei Harding College Searcy. Arkansan 1 1 —r,*i • -

OIL IS SAID to calm troubled waters. Oil is indeed the key to a good many problems, international and national. Right now there is not enough oil for all who want to consume oil in this country, and some domestic waters are not calmed. Some of you have come smack up against this shortage of petroleum products. I hope you are not among those who have had the poor judgment to call for government rationing and control. I have said in an earlier column that it was government bungling, along with the wastage of war. that laid the ground work for our current trouble in the petroleum industry. The result our shortage of fuel and gasoline is here. Now, there are those folks who get frightened, not having the long view of things, every time a slight economic dislocation rears its head. These folks usually holler for the government to do something. / Who’s To OR THEY blame inBlame? dustry. In this m- ( stance the oil industry is no more to blame than you are. In fact, you are probably more to blame, especially if you are one of nearly a millioh householders who have installed oil. heating since 1941. Or if you have anything to do with the almost 2Vt million increase in motor vehicle registration since 1941. There are 35 per cent more trucks on the road than before the war. They haul -food to you that is grown on farms almost 100 per cent more- mechanized than in 1941. t ' Ah these things take oil. Railroads used 43 per cent more diesel fuel in 1947 than in the year before. Our greatly stepped-up industrial growth has been {lowered

SPARKPLUGS CAPTURE FIRST SECTIONAL TITLE Last Friday and Saturday the Speedway High Sparkplugs won their first sectional championship by not only downing Amo, the Hendrick’s County champs, but al§o by downing the runnersup, Avon.

by oil and lubricated by petroleum products. Oil apd gas have emerged as the main source of industrial energy, la 1920* coal accounted for 78 per cent of the total energy produced in this country, oil and gas 19 per cent. In 1946 it was: coal, 47 per cent; oil and gas, 47 per cent (The miners’ Mr. Lewis please note.) What You THE OIL industry Can Do is therefore produer ing at top speed. Present output of the industry is more than the whole world required ten years ago. The demand is estimated by some oij men to be growing at the rate of 8 per cent a year! This is the kind of situation that government interference and price control can never cure! i Demand is a fine thing, for the whole industry. But there are problems. Oil men tell me it costs three times as much to put up a modern refinery as it did in 1936. They say total exploration costs are about four times those of ten years ago, and wildcat wells cost (per barrel discovered) five or six times what they used to. Then, of course, there’s the problem of whether they can get th« steel or at all. If you are an oil consumer, you can help get the country through this crisis. You can do it by practicing honest-to-goodness Scotch economy this winter. This voluntary way will prevent government intervention and rationing, which would only make matters worse. Rationing would bring hoarding and ruin present fair distribution channels. The industry* through enterprise will continue to put out the goods. Solving problems this way, America will continue to he a great and strong nation.

the tournament as the Sparkplug five and the Amo Aces, two evenly matched teams, battled it out in an overtime thriller. Had it not been for the fact that an Amo free throw was not counted in the last few seconds of the game, the championship title might have been bestowed upon the Hendrick’s County champs instead of Marion’s. Phil Brumley’s one-handed push shots uncannily found their mark which pushed the Sparkplugs ahead in the first quarter, 9-4. Although Brumley was high point man with 10 points, the low point man came within just four points of this, showing that it would not be a one-man team that would be matched with Clayton Saturday afternoon. The Sparkplugs definitely'' held the' upper hand against Clayton’s Cardinals, the first period ending 19-3. Jim Crumley, in this game, found his “eye for the basket early in the first quarter and couldn’t be stopped, scaring 10 points in that stanza and 16 the entire game, all on field goals. He had no chance to try from the foul line. From this terrific lead, the Cards just couldn’t seem to catch up and gave Speedway full control of the scoreboard at each quarter/the final reading 45-32. In the championship game the Avon Orioles tried their best to obtain the sectional crown, but the Sparkplug quintet had no thoughts of failure and took down the nets by way of : a 15 point victory. It seemed that no one team member outplayed another, but that teamwork and V sportsman-

ship reigned at this sectional Not only will Speedway fans cheer the Sparkplugs on to victory at the regional, but an of Hendricks County will be backing the Brown and Gold.

To open the match there wfljl" be “an exhibition class." In tbit class dogs will be entered til exhibition only. Already we hMU several champions entered. Each dog entered will be posed in the ring alone and a short summary will be given about the do«| pedigree. This should be of great interest to lovers of good cockers. Entries will be taken up to 1 p. m. the day of the match. Judging is scheduled to start at 1:30 p. m. Mrs. W. E. Wunderlich, a well known breeder of champions, will judge. Anyone owning registered cockers is invited to enter his dogs, either in the competitive classes or for exhibition. The dub hope# to make this one of the largest matches they have ever held and invite the public to attend. After the match there will be a covered dish supper and special talks by well known cocker breeders.
