Chemical Progress Week Means Much
* This is Chemical Progress Week and no
section of the nation has more reason for ob-
serving it than Orange County.
The past 12 months have seen the com-,
pletion of one new major chemical plant, the
beginning of construction of another and
considerable expansion of an. existing works
—all on this county’s Petrochemical Row.
No other place in the world can boast
of that much chemical progress within the
past year.
The industry’s healthy condition and pro-
spects for future progress have made it pos- Cow B Philosopher:
sible for Orange County to get the new
plants and the expansion of the old one. KlVCfS KUfl Wf

ments for chemical plants and equipment
Capital spending, which reached an all-
time high in 1953, is expected to hit the
^second highest figure in history-tHis year and
continue at a relatively good pace for a long
time. ......X -.......
Orange County is due to continue getting
a good share of the money to be spent for
new chemical plants. The Industrial De-
velopment Committee, which has been pri-
marily responsible for the aNivity on Petro-
chemical Row, continues very active and
even now is in negotiations of a nature which
cannot yet be disclosed. \

Solon Foresees Gas Shortage in Texas
Texas cities may find themselves cut off
from natural gas 'supplies while users in
New York, California, and even Canada are
still consuming Texas gas 12 years from now.
That’s the prediction of state Sen. C. C.
Small Sr., reported by Associated Press wri-
ter Bo Byers in this week’s summary of Tex-
as oil and gas news. /
■........Byers doesnY Believe Small will find
much support for his opinion within the gas
industry but the senator is reported as feel-
ing that Texas should be alerted to }he pos\
sibility they may have to turn to other fields.
The problem is not one of running out of
gas. It is one of eventually not being able
to get a new* contract for gas because the
bulk of pipeline gas is being put under con-
tract for delivery for other states, Small
contends.
He believes that many areas of Texas
are going to be without gas in 10 years and
asks a good question:
"Is the state powerless to do anything to
conserve some of this gas for home use?”

Shelley's Private Affairs Due
Private Treatment in Future
By BOB THOMAS
x HOLLYWOOD <AP) — It’s hard to imagine
Shelley Winters as a shrinking violet, but the doll
claims she'll no longer air her personal matters j-
in public life.
•Tvk got a new policy,” she says. “From now |
qn, my personal life is my own. I also have ,a new j
pqlicy concerning my career. I’m through with
playing blonde floozies."
A reporter grows accustomed, to hearing re- i
markable remarks from Shelley, but thjs time she j
seems earnest. Having just gone through a highly j
publicized breakup of her marriage to Vittorio i
Gassman, she says she’s had her share of head-
lines and wants no more.
‘‘Tin serious.” she insisted. ‘T’ve had It. I i
see no reason why a star has to live her personal i
life in the public prints."
‘‘Marlon Brand© does it,” she said, “Grace Kel- i
ly, and Audrey Hepburn. They've been able to!
keep their private lives private. Why can't l?”
I further reasoned that people just couldn't j
get used to Shelley as\the quiet type. Her past
was against her. V
She admitted that she has never been, adverse
to'publicity, but claimed that she never sought
the personal kind. What about the big blowup
with Gassman in Italy?
“We Were egged Into it by the press," she
claimed. “I never said a lot of things I wax
supposed to have said. I never said, there was
too much ham h* his Hamlet.”
Ah, but what about her remark that Vittorio !
would have to guarantee that he would marry his
stage co-star, Anna Maria Ferrero, before she
would agree to a divorce?
She blanched, then said: **I don’t want to talk
AbOUtdt. AU I can say ia that both VhtorMt ajid f
did some foolish things. We never should have
married. We were both so romantic that wc got
carried away.
“But when we faced the facts, it was appar-
ent our marriage eouldn’t last. The idea of spend-
ing six months in this country and six months
in Italy sounded fine at the outset. But wr never
could have worked it out. He was all wrapped

Vote of Thanks b Due for Wesf Orange
Leader of the incorporation movement in
West Orange are due a vote of thanks from
the entire county for their willingness to de-
lay a vote on becoming a city long enough
to delete the 1,400 acres of industrial acreage
included in the original petition.
In so doing they not only left the way
open for development of this land to the
benefit of the rest of us but also enhanced the
prospects for increased taxable valuations

§ Vn —erv CALLING
you’ll begin to see the light,
“here’s where our trouble is.
If the Texas Legislature will
successfully attack this problem
from this angle, we may start ger-
tin somewhere, but until the sit-
uation Is remedied and the earth
is tilted so all the streams will
start emptying
within their own school di*trict.
The action, incidentally, is proof enough
that the people of West Orange are com-
pletely willing to be reasonable oh the mat-
ter of incorporation and this is further evi-
dence that if the people of Orange show the
same trait and both sides work at the job,
there will come a time when the two com-
^jnumties can both be parts of the same city.
This will remain true even though West
Orange goes ahead with its present incorp-
oration move.

Woman’s Claim Has
City Officials Upset
ENDICOTT, N. Y. IAP)_Legal
eagles here are trying to figure
out whether a woman's $230 suit
for damage to her dental plate
falls under “personal injury” or
“property damage.”
The woman is suing the village
on the ground the sidewalk where
she fell snd broke her plate waa
of faulty construction. In review-
ing the shit this w*eek, village
trustees discovered the village had
no insurance to cover ’ property
damage suits.
Village. Clark Ralph Jackson
said Insurance men contended the
woman had suffered ’property
damage.” The trustee* referred the
problem to Donald Fuller, village
attorney. ,.. .

Most Schools of One-Story Construction
One-story school construction, practiced
in Orange County since World W/ar II, is part
of a national pattern. k, J
The National Lumber Manufacturers As-
sociation reports that nearly 9 out of 10 of
the nation’s elementary schools and consider-
ably more than half of the high schools are
now being built only one story in height
Simplicity of construction and appearance
are rated more important than ponderous
design, materials and ornamentation.
