Pipe Line To Serve
Southeastern States
Preparations for construction of
a common carrier pipe line to de
liver gasoline and other refined
products to seven southeastern
states are being rushed by the
Plantation Pipe Line Company in
anticipation of passage of the Cole
bill (House Bill 4816) by Congress.
The Dili gives the President the au
thority to grant right of eminent
domain to pipe lines designated as
essential to national defense and
will enable the Plantation Company
to proceed immediately to con- i
struction of its proposed 1,261-mile
line running from Baton Rouge,;
La., to Greensboro, N. C. j
Officials for the line said that,
orders had been placed for 123,000
tons of steel pipe and that the en
gineering contract has been let. An
office for purchase of rights-of-way i
has been opened in Meridian, Miss.,|
and additional offices will be
opened shortly. Pipe delivery is
expected to start in July and to be
completed in October.
Held up for more than a year by
inability to obtain crossing rights
from railroads, the line can be com
pleted within seven to eight months
after materials have been received
and right of eminent domain is au
thorized by the Cole bill, for which;
President Roosevelt and Harold L.|
Ickes, defense oil co-ordinator, have
recommended expeditious passage.
When in operation, the line will al-|
leviate partially the petroleum
transportation shortage caused by
the transfer of United States tank
ers to Caribbean service by the Mar
itime Commission. While the line!
cannot be completed in time to |
avert the present threat of gasoline
loss Sundays in the Southeastern;
States, it is expected ultimately to
lessen the need of stringent petro
leum conservation measures in the
southeast.
Originally planned for a delivery
capacity of 33,000 barrels per day
of refined petroleum products, the
line has undergone upward revision
to 60,000 barrels per day. By add
ing additional pumping stations, the
pipe line can be increased to its
maximum capacity of 90,000 barrels
per day. The area to be reached by
the pipe line normally receives 89
per cent of its petroleum products
in whole or in part by tankers mov-1
ing from the Gulf coast to the At
lantic seaboard. On completion, the;
new line will supplant the use of
ten of fifteen tankers and will as
sure the southeast of a constant
supply of petroleum products not
subject to the hazard of a sea
voyage which in times of emergency
might prove perilous.
Officials of the Plantation com-1
pany pointed out that there are 18
Army camps completed or under 1
construction in the area to be
served by the line and that approx
imately 17 per cent of the aviation
gasoline required for military pur
poses this year is to be delivered to
this area. The new line will deliv
er gasoline, kerosene, heating oil
and tractor fuels.
The line on leaving Louisiana will
pass through Mississippi, Alabama,
Georgia, South Carolina and North
Carolina. A branch line will reach
into Tennessee to make deliveries
at Chattanooga and Knoxville. De
liveries in Mississippi will be made
at Meridian. In Alabama deliveries
from the main line will be made at
Moundville and Oxford, and by
branch line at Birmingham and
Montgomery. In Georgia product
will be taken from the main line at
Bremen, Atlanta and Athens, while
Columbus and Macon will be served
by branch lines. Product terminals
in South Carolina will be Belton
and Spartanbuirg, and in North
Carolina, Charlotte and Salisbury,
in addition to Greensboro. All told
there will be 16 intermediate-ter
minals to assure widespread deliv
ery of gasoline and other refined
products.
The area to be served comprises
279,600 square miles or 9 per cent
of the total area of the United
States. This area, now dependent
largely upon delivery by water for
petroleum products, supports 16,-
251,000 persons, exclusive of those
in military servics. It has 2,300,000
trucks, buses, passenger cars, and
tractors. In order to supply these
various demands approximately 47,-
000,000 barrels of gasoline arc re
quired per year, of which the new
line can deliver 21,900,000 barrels
at normal capacity or 33,950,000
barrels at peak capacity. Present '
plans call for 15 pumping stations
to push the product along the line.
Addition of several pumping sta- .
tions will raise the line to its peak
capacity.

ly owned by Standard Oil Company

MACHINES
VERSUS JOBS
(By George Peck)
At the end of the third editorial
on this subject we stated that the
case for the machine age may be
viewed in three aspects: (1) Its ef
fect on consumers; (2) Its effect
on labor; and (3) Its effect on busi
ness and industry.
We are all consumers and we
have already shown that every one
of us is enjoying goods and services
today because of technology. Hun
dreds of new products developed
during the last generation, such as
automobiles, radios, electrical ap
pliances and mechanical home re
frigerators have been made availa
ble to millions of consumers at
steadily lowered prices only because
technology made mass production
possible. In 1900 many of these!
products were not visible over the
horizon of the future. What lies
ahead of 1941? Who knows? We see
air conditioning of homes, which in
another generation will be consid
ered as necessary as home refrig
erators, as but one of the many new
industries. Already this industry is
clamoring for men.
Television is as inevitable as ra
dio was. If space permitted many
other new prospective industries
| could be cited. Not only is tech
noligical advancement necessary to
develop new products but it also
makes possible constantly lowered
prices for our present commodities.
So, as consumers, we can plainly
see, as has been true in the past, we
have all to gain and nothing to lose
by advancement of the machine
j age.
The greatest fear of the machine
has been expressed for labor. That
| fear is unfounded since government
statistics prove the net result of
technological advancement is an in
crease of jobs, not a reduction. The
machine has almost abolished the
purely muscular type of work, but
who objects to that? It is folly to
assume that as a nation we would
go back to methods of doing work
which we know can be done better,
more easily and more cheaply by
machines. A net increase in jobs
could never be created that way.
Experience shows that they can be
! created by allowing technology to
; advance as it has in the past. Fur
| thermore, it will bring higher wages
i for labor and lower prices for the
products wages must buy. Thus it
will benefit labor twofold by giving
it more money with which to buy
goods at cheaper prices.
Finally, as to business and indus
try, it is by them that most of the
instruments of the machine age
must be put in operation for the
benefit of the rest of us. Technol
, ogical advancement makes possi
ble the production of a greater vol
ume of goods. This means activity
for more factories, more whole
salers, retailers and clerks, more ac
tivity for everybody in business.
Technology makes possible great
er efficiency and lower cost which
means greater opportunity for all
people. The manufacturer who
takes advantage of the latest pro-,
duction methods finds he can make
a better quality product for less
money which opens new markets.
That necessary link between the
manufacturer and the consumer—
the merchant—shares in the bene
fits of these new markets. Yes, ma
chines will continue to abolish hand
physical labor, to provide goods to
fill hitherto unfilled wants, and
thereby make the problems left for
the social sciences easier to solve.
Machines will solve the unemploy
ment problem also. Make no mis
take about that.
Man has an insatiable desire to
advance—to progress. That is why
he created the machine age. To
oppose further technological ad
vancement is to oppose cililization
itself. To defend the machine age
is to champion the march of prog
ress toward a wealthier, happier
and bette America.
Numerous researches are being
carried on by the Breau of Home
Economics in assaying foods for
their vitamin content.
CHANGES IN LAND
One of the most significant things
about the soil conservation program
in Georgia is the change in land
pattern which it is producing. Now. j
instead of square fields, there are:
strips of crops lying across the ;
slope of the land. Formerly bare
gullies are clothed with vegetation
and pastures, while woodlands pro
tect the steeper slopes.
EXPANDING WILDLIFE
The significance of improving con
ditions for wildlife on agricultural
land is emphasized by the fact that
85 per cent of the land in the na
tion is used for agricultural pur
poses. Also 85 per cent of all hunt
ing takes place on agricultural land,
and 7 per cent of the fur crop is
caught there, primarily by farml
boys.

FARM BRIEFS
By JACK WOOTEN, Extension
Editor.
GEORGIAN HONORED
Dr. J. A. Evans, administrative
assistant of the Georgia Agricul
tural Extension Service, was one of
the 15 prominent agricultural lead
ers of the United States to receive
recognition of service to national
farming and home-making through
4-H club work. He was awarded a
medallion at National 4-H Club
Camp exercises in Washington, D.
C., during its 1941 session in June.
Doctor Evans is a pioneer in de
veloping 4-H clubs, being one of
the first Extension agents employed
by the U. S. Department of Agri
culture. He is now administrative
assistant of the Extension Service in
Athens.
WEED FARMERS TO VOTE
A referendum calling for a vote
on federal inspection of all tobacco
sold on the Blackshear, Statesboro,
and Hahira markets has been an
nounced by the tobacco section of
the Agricultural Marketing Serv
ice. The date of the referendum
has not been set. C. G. Garner.;
marketing economist for the Agri-:
cultural Extension Service, points
i out that markets at which farmersl
are already using the government;
free classing service include Val-i
dosta, Adel, Nashville and Douglas.
4-H CAMP GUESTS
Representatives from eight South
and Central American Republics,
the Pan-American Union, and both
I houses of Congress were guests of
delegates to the National 4-H Club
Camp in Wahington, D. C., recent-j
ly. The delegates explained 4-H
club work to Pan-American visitors
and other guests. The Department
of Agriculture building was also the
scene of a 4-H club exhibit which
the delegates used to show first
hand the results of their club
work.
NEGRO FARM WOMEN
There are many outstanding ac
complishments among the Negro
farm women. Last year home dem
onstration club women planted and
brought to completion 9,500 home
gardens; 517 families reported the
! starting of orchards or planting
! small fruits; the club women con
served a total of 209,232 quarts of
vegetables, fruits, meats and other
products; 9,400 club women carried
out improved practices in food se
lection, preparation and service;
7,523 families served better bal
anced diets; and there was a 50
per cent increase in the number of I
families who kept their homes I
cleaner, neater and more attrac-I
five.
GEORGIA SWEET POTATOES
In 1935 (last available census fig
ures) Georgia produced 10,668,000,
bushels of sweet potatoes, of which!
392,000 bushels were used for seed,
j 2,240,000 bushels were lost in han
dling and storage and fed to live
stock. There were 6,268,000 bushels
consumed on the farm, 1,768,000
bushels sold commercially. The
farm value of the 1935 crop was
$7,468,000. Os this amount. $5,625,- |
000 was gross income and $1,238,000
was cash income.
REV. SOLON WALKER
COMES TO GEORGIA
(From The Prentiss (Mississippi)
Headlight)
Rev. Solon Walker has accepted a
call to the First Baptist church of j
Trion, Ga., and will leave Tuesday of!
next week, with his family, to take
up his work in his new field of
service.
Rev. Walker was born and reared
in Jeff Davis county, being the son
of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Walker of the
Hebron community. He was grad
uated from Mississippi College in
j 1921, and from the Southwestern
Theological Seminary at Ft. Worth,
Texas, in 1926. In the same year
he was married to Miss Mary Gage
of Elgin, Texas, also a student at
the Seminary.
Since his call to the ministry
Rev. Walker has had a deep sense of
the responsibilities that rested on
him in this sacred calling and he
has been studying constantly to
equip himself for faithful, accepta
ble service to his Lord.
He is loved as a pastor, admired!
as a good man, and acclaimed as a!
great young preacher. Since gradu
ation from the Seminary he has’
served aas pastor of various church
es, all within a 25-mile radius of his
home, all with large memberships.
He has served as moderator of the
Jefferson Davis Baptist Association
since 1931. and has served as a
member of the State Mission Board
for the past four years.
For the past two years he has
served as pastor of the Whitesand,
Antioch and Bethany churches.
Under his leadership there has been
a constant increase in the member
ships of these churches and the of
ferings have been doubled. It is
with a keen seense of their deep loss
that these churches are giving him
up for service in a larger field, but
since he has heeded the call to go,
they are sending him forth with
blessings and sincere wishes for a
successful and happy ministry
there.
Trion is located in the Northeast- i
ern part of the state and has a pop- j

FACTS ABOUT
CHEVROLET
By mid-summer the average 1941
Chevrolet passenger car, purchased
by its owner some time between last
Sept. 21 and today, will have prob
ably 5,000 milees recorded on its
speedometer, a figure indicating not
only that the car is thoroughly
broken in, but that it is no longer a
“new” car. Hence the owners of
current model Chevrolets already
are in position to appreciate the oil
economy claimed for the car by its
engineers, according to J. M. Craw
ford, Chevrolet chief engineer.
With all commodity prices on an
upward course and petroleum prod
ucts especially required for pre
paredness training, oil economy in
the operation of a motor car has
assumed more important propor
tions in the mind of the average
car owner. 0
Chevrolet is unique in its feild in
having a “specialized” four-way lu
brication system, according to Mr.
Crawford. Commonest lubrication
systems, he points out. are the
“splash” and “full-pressure” types,
neither of which affords the com
plete protection to the motor that
is required for maximum perform
ance and protection at minimum
cost.
In brief, the four-way lubrication
system includes the following:
First, full-pressure lubrication to
crankshaft main bearings and cam
shaft bearings, the only points at
which full-pressure lubrication is
desirable because oil flow there is
controlled solely by pressure and is
not affected by centrifugal force.
Second, calibrated pressure and
temperature - regulated lubrication
to the rocker arm shafts. This pro
vides positive lubrication of the
rocker arms with attendant lubrica
tion of the valve stems, push rods,
tappets, and camshaft lobes.
Third, pressure - stream lubrica
tion of the connecting rod bearings,
creating higher pressure than is
possible with the oil pump and at
the same time minimizing the
wearing effect of dirty oil.
And, fourth, controlled lubrica
tion of the cylinder walls, obviating
the necessity of depending upon
First Baptist Church of Trion has
a membership of 900.
While all Prentiss and Jeff Davis
county regrets to lose Rev. Wajker
and his family, we bid him God
speed in his work, with sincere
wishes for success and happiness in
his new field of service.

“This ‘specialized’ lubrication,”
says Mr. Crawford, “is a complete
and radical departure from the old
splash system, though retaining its
desirable elements. Likewise, the
best factors of full-pressure lubri
cation are incorporated. By com
bining and modifying the meritori
ous features of both, Chevrolet en
gineers have produced an oiling sys
tem that is superior in efficiency.
“Chevrolet’s reputation for oil
economy is perhaps best substan
tiated by owners of previous years’
models, who have enjoyed oil econ
omy not only when their cars were
new but after they had traveled
many thousands of miles.
“Periodically, at the General Mo
tors Proving Grounds, we stage 20,- i
000- mile durability runs, one of
which was comp\ted just recently.
During one of these test runs, the
Chevrolet engine required only 24'/ 2
quarts of oil for the 20,000 miles
And at the conclusion of the test,
the car was averaging 475 miles
per quart. Os three other cars
tested under identical conditions,
averages ran 160, 150, and 100 miles
per quart.
