Fuel Crisis
Real Enough,
Speaker Says
Calvin Abernathy, an execu
tive with the Gulf Oil Cos.,
Atlanta, spoke to the Jackson
Kiwanis Club Tuesday night,
August 7th, and stated that the
energy crisis “is very bad with
gas as short in supply as
lumber, beef, leather, eggs,
etc.” The speaker was present
ed by Johnny Carter with L. W.
May, Gulf Oil agent here in
Jackson for many years, as a
guest.
Mr. Abernathy pointed out
that America has six percent of
the world’s population yet uses
35 percent of energy or six
times faster than the world
average. He also emphasized
that we have abused the
environment, pointing out that
there is no more water in the
world presently than was
available 3,000 years ago nor
is there any more atmosphere
than was present 3,000 years
ago. He stressed the vital
importance of cleaning up both
our water and air if we are to
make it do for additional
centuries. He based the terrific
increase and demand for
gasoline, oil and electricity as
the reason for our energy
crisis, citing the fact that the
demand for these fuels is 50
percent greater now than ten
years ago.
Using air conditioning, which
is in general use now and
almost universally understood,
as an example, Mr. Abernathy
said that nowadays almost all
churches, office buildings,
newer homes and many cars
are air conditioned as compar
ed to virtually none 20 years
ago. As for the demand on
electricity he pointed to a
usual day in his life in which he
arose at the ring of an electric
clock, turned on a electric light
to dress by, shaved by an
electric razor, showered in
water heated by an electric or
gas heater, drank coffee from
an electric percolator, ate food
from an electric refrigerator,
ate food taken from an electric
or gas stove. Thus explains the
great everyday demands we
make on our energy resources.
Mr. Abernathy said that the
average oil well now costs
SIOO,OOO to drill and that some
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS. JACKSON, GEORGIA
wells cost as much as three
million to drill and equip. The
speaker said that the Alaskan
pipeline which is currently
being proposed and which
could be completed in about
three years could relieve the
fuel shortage considerably but
that the line will cost a
staggering three billion dol
lars. He stated that coal has
been downgraded as a pro
ducer of energy because of
safety factors and the cost of
production, although coal still
provides 21 percent of energy
sources. Mr. Abernathy said
that water provides 17 percent
of our nation’s power through
hydroelectric plants, but the
nuclear power has been a keen
disappointment and that such
plants are generally running
five years behing schedule.
The speaker emphasized that
the problem is of supply and
that by 1981 the United States
would be dependent on :ther
nations, or oil and gas sources
outside our country, for 50
percent of our supply. The
speaker stated that it is
imperative to develop off-shore
wells and that our country
needs a long range emergency
plan. He predicted that the fuel
shortage will last up to three
years and longer unless our
government becomes more
directly involved to curb the
present drastic shortage of
energy supply.
Other guests were John
Little and Col. Leßoy P. Ades
and daughters. Miss Leah and
Elaine Ades.

Two Vacant Houses Set
Ablaze By Arsonists
Two vacant houses in widely
divergent areas of Butts
County were destroyed by fire
on Tuesday and Wednesday
nights, August 7th and Bth, and
according to Fire Chief W. L.
(Cotton) Vaughn of the
Jackson Volunteer Fire De
partment both were believed to
be definitely the work of an
arsonist.
The Jackson Fire Depart
ment answered a call at 8:32
p.m. Wednesday night on
Buttrill Road where the large
and formerly stately home
place of Z. T. Buttrill was
completely gutted by fire.
Chief Vaughn said that the
house was completely burned
down and that there was
nothing in it to save since it was
uninhabited at the time of the
fire. The large frame house
had four chimneys and in its
era was one of the show places
of Butts County.

New Stamps
To Be Issued
Postmaster Tom Webb said
today that he has been advised
by the U. S. Postal Service that
a series of three commemora
tive postage stamps honoring
aspects of life in Rural
America will be issued.
The first stamp in the series,
saluting the 100th anniversary
of the introduction of Angus
: .ttle mto the United States,
will be issued in 1973. The
remaining two stamps will be
issued rn 1974. ■ u -
One of the 1974 issues will
observe the 100th anniversary
of the introduction of Kansas
Hard Winter Wheat into the
United States. The other will
mark the 100th anniversary of
the establishment of the
Chautauqua, which made a
major contribution to the
cultural life of rural America
by bringing lecturers, orators,
concerts and many celebrities
of the Arts to smaller
communities. Further details
about these two stamps will be
announced at a later date.
The 8 cent Angus stamp will
be issued on October 5 at St.
Joseph, Missouri, with the first
day ceremony at the head
quarters of the American
Angus Association.
The design shows Angus
cattle from Scotland and
Longhorn cattle in a prarie
setting. It was adapted from a
painting by F. C. “Frank”
Murphy, of Chicago, Illinois.
The modeler was Frank
Waslick and the engraver was
Joseph S. Creamer, Jr., both of
the bureau of Engraving and
Printing. Yellow, red, green
and tan will be applied by
offset, with blue, black and red
being added by Giori press.
There will be one plate
number, and there will be 50
stamps to a pane.
Collectors desiring first day
cancellations may request
these from “Angus Stamp,
Postmaster, St. Joseph, Mo.
64501.”
On Tuesday night the
Jackson Volunteer Fire De
partment received a call at
10:42 o’clock to a abandoned
house off Highway 16 East,
back of Pleasant Grove
Church. Chief Vaughn said that
the old house had already
partly rotted down and that the
cause of the blaze was
undetermined although arson
was strongly suspected. The
fire chief said that a child at
the scene said the house was to
be torn down the next day
anyway. It was located
approximately 300 yards down
a dirt road behind the church.
Commenting on the two fires,
Chief Vaughn said that they
were both “conveniently
burned” though evidence
pointing directly to arson has
not yet been uncovered. Chief
Vaughn concluded by adding
that “empty houses just don’t
burn down.”
Can your budget
stand a big boost in
electric rate^
That’s why
railroads are essential.
Over half of America's electricity comes from coal. And most
coal comes by rail. Because rail shipping is especially cheap for
heavy items travelling a fixed route.
To take advantage of this, Southern Railway innovated the
coal shuttle train. A train is assigned to do nothing but shuttle coal
from a coal mine to a power plant. And that saves money.
Which is why you need railroads. And why you need Southern.
