'—SECTION TWfl PAGE EIGHT Joe Conger, Jr. | Chairman Os i Oil Committee 'fa ' ■ I . <Joe Conger, Jr., has been nanir e4 chairman of the Chowan Coun ty ©il Information Committee and in this position he says: j * Jiorth Carolinians consumed about 2,208,136,000 gallons of ma- j jet oil products in 1955, an amount equal to about 508 gallons IWr every man, woman and child in the state. Os major Oil products consumed in 1955, 1,204,498,000 gallons went to the motorist to power about 1,146,033 passenger cars, 13,325 j buses and 277,819 trucks. Indus-j trial consumption of petroleum j fuels—amounting to 65 million! gallons in 1954 —has increased 10 jnillion gallons for 1955. , On the domestic side, over 180,- 9QO homes heated by oil burners used over 170 million gallons ofj heating oil in 1955—almost five times the amount used for this jWrpose in 1949. On the farm, almost 4 million gallons of motor oil and 195 mil lion * gallons of motor fuel were consumer by farm tractors, trucks automobiles. Wholesale distribution of oil products is handled by 2,270 tank trucks which deliver to bulk plants and terminals located close to consuming centers throughout the, state. Petroleum bulk sta tions and terminals in North Car olina employed 5.690 in 1956. The state has 216 miles of pro ducts pipeline within the state. Greensboro is the northern termi nus of this large products line coming from Louisiana. Customers supplied bv bulk plants or marine terminals in clude the 5176 service stations in PwBHWAV3\| Think of some real unu:cil j kind of a hauling job—and it's an oven bet that a truck-trailer is al ready doing it. In thn past year, truck-trailers J have been designed and built to: i Feature the automobile of the 1 future .. . Carry an art museum on wheels ... • (Comprise a portable advance | airfield for jet fighter planes ... I To haul such varied items as Snent, onions, liquid sugar, bulk ur, caskets and hot steel. ► The engineering staff of Frue hauf Trailer Company conceived these truck trailers. None w as more unusual—or more expensive—than the trailer turned out to carry j Ford’s experimental auto. This was the world’s first 'glass sided full length trailer—and it cost $50,000. I The State of Virginia has the art museum on w heels. The id-foot long trailer is fitted with museum type walls so that paintings and other art objects can be taken di rect to a town square, school or church yard. i Our armed forces—which are using trailers in many tasks—have come up with another unusual use by utilizing a trailer as an advance airfield for jet fighter planes. In neuclear war, these trailers could be easily moved to forward areas for jet plane launchings. Tank trailers—some with stain less steel mirror finishes haul everything from hot chocolate to balk flour to acids of all kinds. And with the nationwide high way building program just begin- Ifing, you’ll see plenty of bulk CMBent tank trailers that will save much money in time and labor. I LISTEN EACH SUNDAY AT 8:45 A.

These service stations did a business of over ! 245,354,000 dollars in 1954—an in | crease of 75. per cent since 1948. The income from petroleum op erations in North Carolina makes . an important contribution to the I state’s entire economy through 1 the purchase of goods and ser ' vices from other industries. And the 80 million dollars paid yearly j in state gasoline taxes by North Carolina consumers help to fill i the state’s need for revenue to ! provide services for the citizens ! of this state. “Fill ’er up, please,” says Mr. Conger, are words spoken better than 200,000 times each day in North Carolina, which probably makes them the most repeated | four-word phrase in modern life. I To make sure that service sta ! tions can “Fill ’er up” when the j customer asks is a fascinating story. It involves an industry of I 1,650,000 people, representing ' more than 2,000 different trades, crafts, skills and professions. | “These oil people supplied ' North Carolinians with nearly two and one-quarter billion gal lons of major petroleum products last year,” says Conger. “In ef fect, this equals 508 gallons for every man, woman and child in the state.” The dealer is one of the best known people in the oil-industry since he meets the public con stantly and his place of business is in virtually every community in the land. - There are more than, 181,000 service stations in this! country, so it’s not hard to imag ine the tens of thousands of per sons necessary to keep the sta tions humming. Service station operators are quick and efficient, courteous and willing. If they’re not. they’ll find their customers heading for a rival station up or down the | street, for the competition among stations is just about as sharp as | TAYLOR THEATRE Edenion, N. C.

According to the last survey, there were 5,176 service stations in North Carolina with average sales amounting to $245,354,000. They employed about 8,500 peo ple. “Here is North Carolina,” says Conger, “we have more than 1,- 146,000 automobiles, 13,325 buses and 277,819 trucks. Highway con sumption of gasoline is in excess of IV 4 billion gallons, to keep these vehicles properly powered. Farm vehicles account for another 195,000,000 gallons. ’“The 80 million dollars paid yearly in State gasoline taxes in this state is a substantial apnoiAit. It helps the state provide services for the citizens. “Heating many of our homes, offices and other Jpusiness places are 180,000 oil burners. The most recent statistics indicate con sumption of No. 2 fuel oil amounts to more than 170 million gallons a year. “Industrial consumption of dis tillate and residual fuel oils also reaches a considerable point in this state. The state’s industries require more than 1,792,000 bar rels per year. The railroads need 2,191,000 vessels and utilities 362,- 000 barrels. ‘ “Statistics like these are some what head-spinning,” Conger says, “but at least they give a measure of the oil industry’s nev er-ending job of serving and sup plying the people of North Caro lina.” I think a man and woman should choose each other for ife, for the simple reason that a long life with all its accidents is bare’y enough for a man and a woman to understand each other; and to understand is to love. —J.

As I drew nearer, I saw that it was a man. As I came nearer still, I discovered that it was my broth, er.” Distance doesn’t always lend enchantment. Too often it dis torts and confuses. We make most of our bad judgments from a distance. We are unfair and unjust, not because we are unfair at heart, but because we do not see clearly. In spite of modern communica tions and transportation, we can not be close enough to everyone and everything to judge accur ately. Therefore, because we feel i that we must have opinions about . everything, we are certain to pass many distorted judgments. There is an answer. There is a | „ RESOLUTION OF RESPECT J. Norfleet Pruden, affection l ateJy known to his friends as "Prudie,” was born in Edenton in I 1903: | After leaving the Edenton I Schools, he attended the Episco -1 pal High School at Alexandria, j Virginia. He graduated from un ! dergraduate sctiool at the Univer -1 sity of North Carolina and receiv ed his law degree at Wake For est College, | He was admitted to the Bar in 1930 and began the practice of law in Edenton. He married Hel en Goodwin and they had one son, - J. N. Pruden, Jr., and a daughter, Helen. In public life, he served Chowan County well, having been Prosecuting Attorney and later Judge of the Chowan County Re- 1 order's Court. At the time of ] his death he was attorney for , Chowan County and the Town of Edenton. He was also serving as ! a member of the Edenton School Board. "Prudie” was vice-presi j dent of the First District Bar during 1954-1955 nnd president j during 1955-1956 and presided j over the last two District Bar Meetings. “Prudie” remained ac | tivc in practice until his sudden , pas.=ing on December 29, 1956. Well liked by all who rubbed -elbows with him, “Prudie” was a friend to all who would have a friend. He will be remembered for his willing attitude to take hold not only where duty called but where opportunity for ser vices was apparent. We shall al ways remember “Prudie” for his friendliness and integrity and as an exemplar cf the finest attri butes of a member of our pro fession. KILLIAN BARWICK ' Secretary | HEVHOn J way to overcome our unfair' and unjust judgments. Simply do not pass judgment on everything. Af ter all, we don’t need to have an opinion on everyone and every situation. If we will admit, once ia a while, that, that we do not hqve enough knowledge to form an opinion, the other opinions we express may have more weight. Try it.
