Homes Basically
Equipped to Cool
Nine and a half million Amerl'
can homes are basically equip
ped for year-round air condl
tioning and many of their own'
ers don't even realize it.
The homes, the American
Gas Association reports, are
heated with forced warm air
gas systems that can be adapt
ed quickly for summer cooling
as well as winter heating.
A direct-fired gas absorption
cooling unit that can be con
nected to an existing furnace
is all that is needed to convert
such a system into one that can
supply all-season comlort.
The "add-on" gas unit is conv
pact in size. It is specifically
engineered for easy installation
with existing duct systems. The
cooling unit can be quickly and
economically connected to the
furnace. A gas flame produces
tne cooling action without mov
ing parts in the refrigeration
system.

Under the terms of two bills
recently signed into law by the
President, 1,355 widows of vet
erans in Oregon on the Veterans
Administration dependency and
indemnity compensation (DIC)
rolls now receiving about $2,
365,000 annually will get a $187,
000 yearly increase.
One bill increased the basic
payment for widows receiving
DIC from the old rate of $112
to $120; the second bill increas
ed military pay in general.
R. J. .Novotny, manasor of
the Portland VA regional office.
said under DIC an eligible wid
ow receives the basic payment
plus 12 per cent of the monthly
basic military pay now beinu
received by servicemen whose
rank and years of service are
the same as those of the de
ceased veteran.
Minimum Increase
The minimum increase Is $8
monthly and when military Dav
is added the addtional amount
could be as much as $23. The
average increase is $15.
To avoid a delay in payments
to widows, the regular October
checks were mailed at the usual
time, and a separate mailing in
November will carry one-time
checks for just the October
share of the increase.
DIC payments are authorized
for widows of servicemen who
died on or after Jan. 1. 1957.

Increases will also Co to wid
ows of servicemen who died be

elected to receive DIC instead
of death compensation.
Nation's Gas Firms Plan To Spend $7.1 Billion in Year
NEW YORK The nation's gas
industry expects to spend $7.1
billion on construction in the
next four years, according to
John E. Heyke Jr., president
of the American Gas Associa
tion. "Just this year 1963 our in
dustry expects to spend nearly
$1.7 billion building new facil
ities to better serve the nation's
35.3 million gas customers,"
Heyke said.
Total Plant Value
The construction survey is
made annually by the AGA
Bureau of Statistics and covers
transmission, distribution, un
derground storage, production
and storage projects.
The AGA president pointed
out that as 1963 began, the
total plant value of the nation's
sixth largest industry climbed
to $24.7 billion. "The gas in
dustry, as do all responsible
segments, of the economy,"
Heyke said, '.'realizes that only
by turning back huge sums of
money into new equipment and
construction, can it accelerate
its growth."
"We have made tremendous
strides in recent years and
we're going to make even great
er progress in the future," he
continued. "The ambitious build-
Sands With Firm Since Mid-1930
Martin E. Sands, vice presi
dent and division manager of
California-Pacific Utilities Com
pany, has been associated with
the company and its predeces
sors since June, 1930.
He was born in Valpariso,
Ind., in 1896. He was graduated
from high school in El Keno
Okla., in 1915, and served
aboard a mine carrier in the
Navy for two years during
World War 1.
Upon his discharge from (he
service, he was employed by
the Oklahoma Gas and Electric
Company, serving as division
auditor. He was transferred to
the Mountain States Power Com
pany, Albany, Ore., in July,
1924, serving as division auditor.
traveling auditor and later as
assistant to the vice president
and general manager.
Sands was employed by llic
California-Pacific Utilities Com
pany as an auditor in San Fran
cisco in June, 1930, and later
that same year he was elected
secretary of the firm.
in 1938, he was elected to the
lng programs planned by our
companies are the frameworks
on which this progress can take
place."
The AGA survey revealed that
companies expect to obtain 45.4
per cent of the funds for the
four-year building program
from the sale of bonds and de
bentures. In addition, 47.4 per
cent of the funds will come
from internal sources and 7.2
per cent from common and pre
ferred stocks. The proportions
may change, depending upon
prevailing market conditions.
Spend on Construction
It is expected that the indus
try will spend $1,740,000,000 next
year, $1,847,000,000 in 1965 and I
$1,867,000,000 in 1966. From 1959
to 1962, the gas industry spent
$6.9 billion on construction.
Distribution companies, which
directly supply the consumer,
plan to spend a record $738,-
000,000 this year, and a total oi
$3 billion during the four-year
period. This latter figure is 11
per cent higher than the amount
spent trom laas to aac.
Expansion of transmission la-
cilities, which carry natural gas
through a network of pipelines
from production sources to gas
distribution systems, will total
$488,000,000 this year. During the
four-year period, the outlay will
be $2.3 billion, a decline of
$524,000,000 from 1959-62 outlays.
This slackening of construc
tion in this segment reflects,
in part, nearly total penetration
to all corners or the U.S. by
natural gas transmission lines.
Future expansion will be pri
marily to increase deliverabil
ity. Outlays for underground stor
age of natural gas probably will
reach $104,000,000 this year. In
the next four years, they will
total $393 ' million, compared
with $246 million in 1959-62.

Concern Expressed Over
Lack of New Cartoonist
E U G E N E Whatever hap
pened to the high school car
toonist? The lack of original cartoons
in high school publications is
lamented by Roy Paul Nelson,
associate professor of journal
ism at the University of Oregon
and professional cartoonist, in
an article included in the Octo
ber issue of Scholastic Editor.
In his article, "Smile When
You Draw That," Nelson points
out that today there are less
technical demands on cartoon
ists, but few volunteer to con
tribute original art-work to high
school newspapers and year-
nooks.
The reason? "I suspect in
creased emphasis on academic
accomplishments and a pro-
occupation with things scienti
fic have contributed to the
thinning of the ranks," Nelson
writes.
The article suggests that
young editors "recruit", car
toonists, and possibly suggest
ideas for cartoons. "I am argu
ing here for editorial cartoons
empressions of opinion on con
troversial issues," Nelson continues.
A former reporter, advertis
ing and public relations man,
Nelson is associate director of
the Oregon Scholastic Press, in
addition to his position on the
UO faculty. He is a free-lance
cartoonist and author of the re
cently published "Fell's Guide
to the Art of Cartooning," and
co-author of "Fell's Guide to
Commercial Art," to be pub
lished late this year.
