Commission Chairman W. J
(Bill) Murray announced the ex-
tension Tuesday, saying it was
"due to the shortage of forms as
well as an apparent lack of cov-
erage in notice to oil and gas op-
erators.”.
The extension was the result of
a request made last Friday by
the West Central Texas Oil & Gas
: Association, after it was learned
that many operators in this area
had not been notified of the sur-

The original deadline was
March 15, with Railroad Com-

ed to sever pipeline connections
of operators failing to comply.
James E Russell, president of

some form of extension be granted

The 19624 Volkswagen.
When the Volkswagen people find a
way to improve the VW, they do it.
Then and there.
If you come in to buy a new VW
today, you II get one with an entirely
new steering mechanism.
It gives you an even better sense of
touch with the road and makes the VW
still easier to handle
Volkswagen didn’t rush to put it on
their 62 model, it wasn't quite ready.
And they didn't wait for the '63 to
come its ready now
VW s changes usually keep them a
Irttle ahead of the game. (The car had
an air-cooled aluminum-magnesium
engine 15 years ago; aluminum engines
made their debut in domestic cars in
1960)
Volkswagen has made thousands of
charges in the past 15 years. And
there’ll be more in years to come
But not one change has ever made a
VW obsolete; only better
Now and then, people ask why VW
doesn't change the car once a year like
everyone else The answer is simple:
once a year isn’t always enough.
