“Rusty” Koenig was again
the hero in the field. The
-fans shook his hand and
handed him some cash after
the game. He caught two
drives right at him that were
hit almost hard enough - to
knock him down. Tn the final
inning, with one -out, Koe-
nig caught a line drive
third and threw to Holt
second for a double out to
end the game.
Fans are beginning to mar-
vel at the pitching of John
Valigura, who seems to be
getting stronger as the sea-
son wears on and the wea-
ther gets hotter.

The chemical industry is making giant strides in Texas. No other
industry in the nation is expanding so fast. The development of the
chemical industry forms a dramatic example of the way natural resources can
be put to use to serve mankind. And natural gas has been of enormous
value in the expansion of that industry.
But natural gas. like other natural resources, must be gathered, processed
and moved to places where it can be used beforte it becomes of value to anyone.
This is the work of the United Gas companies—converting what might otherwise
be a valueless resource into an efficient fuel for hundreds of cities, towns and
industries. Thii is practical conservation, for it creates jobs,
stimulates industrial development, and benefits
all the families in Texas.
