Twenty dollars in prizes are
being offered members of the
Junior and Senior Classes of the
Bastrop High School for the best
comment written on "The Key
To Peace," an inspiring restate-
ment of the basic principles
which are the source of past
progress and present strength,
written by Clarence Manion, dean
of the College of Law of Notre
Dame University.
The contest is sponsored by
the James H. Perkins Post, A-
merican Legion, and the Amer-
ican Legion Auxiliary, and will
be supervised in the school by
C. i). Campbell, high school
principal.
Twelve copies of the book,
which retails of $2.00 per copy,
have been placed in the high
school library, according to Mrs.
S. L. Hrannon, Jr., president of
the Auxiliary, for use in this
contest. These books will later
be donated to the Chamber of
Commerce Library.
Written in short, specific, sim-
ple messages to sell Americanism
to the American people, the book
was chosen for these contests,
which are being conducted all
over the nation, by the national
American Legion committee on
Americanism.
Dean Manion said, concerning
his book:
"The man who wants to sell,
whether it is beer or Coca Cola
or cigarettes or beds, doesn't do
it with long, exhaustive, philoso-
phical pleas. Nobody would read
them. He puts them in short,
simple sentences so the taxi dri-
ver and policeman and the bell-
boy and the professor can know
what he means.
"So 1 sat down to write a lit-
tle book, which would not inter-
est the professors, but which I
hoped would interest the Ameri-
can people. And when the Amer-
ican I<egion was interested and
showed its interest by this com-
pliment of endorsement through
itself and its Auxiliary, I was
very happy, and I felt the work
was justified.
"No book is any good on a
library shelf: its message has
to be put into the hearts of the
people who are supposed to use
it.
"Just let me tell you this:
"The Key to Peace" is no good
unless you put it in the lock
and turn it, and what you mind
in tthis book is not anything a-
bout which I have a copyright.
Everything of value in this book
was written by the founding
fathers of this republic.
"When you try to produce
peace, you must proceed from
a blueprint. ..."
The rules and further details
concerning the local contest will
appear next week.

Spell petrochemical
the easy way...
P-R-O-G-R-E-S-S
Progress in finding and producing oil is an-old story to
the oil country. Nearly everybody has heard about the oil
industry's day-to-day miracles in exploration and production.
Now we .ill have a new series of miracles to wonder at —
the transformation of petroleum hydrocarbons into chemical
products of astonishing variety. These chemicals from petro-
leum have even added a new word to the American vocabulary
— petrochemical.
Progress in the field has been amazing. The capital invest-
ment in new industries based on the petrochemicals has
mounted to hundreds of millions. The new plants have created
thousands of new jobs. And petrochemicals, as an industry,
have provided a wider, a more complete, use of the country's
oil resources.
Butadiene and butyl for synthetic rubber, toluene for
TNT, sohwnts, aldehydes, and many other petrochemicals —
eveti «>cohoK—are now produced in oil refineries. For example,
tbo Hunibk' Cbnipany, at its Baytown, Texas, refinery, is build-
irg facilities to manufacture paraxylene, the raw material for
the n#" fabric called dacron.
The day may come, and very quickly, when you can be
clotluil from tip to toe in synthetic fabrics derived from
petroleum; when petrochemicals provide the rubber for your
tiro, the plastics for your car's interior fittings, the fabric for
the seat covers, the vehicle for body paint and polish.
The petrochemicals spell progress . . . progress to which
the oil industry contributes research, capital, manufacturing
facilities and, most importantly, an enterprising spirit.
