Constructioneconom y of

Program keeps pacethe Texas Gulf Coast

Houston Pipe Line Company announcesan expansion of its system of natural gaspipe lines to enlarge the service it renders tothe expanding industry of the Texas GulfCoast. Now the system supplies natural gasto Texas homes and industries from the BigThicket to the Nueces.

The Texas Gulf Coast is industry’s newGolconda, an industrial El Dorado, the GohlCoast for those industries seeking the goodfortune that derives from a comlfination ofraw materials, efficient fuel, climate, andaccessible markets. The Coast Country’s fameis nation-wide; mention Texas to Americanindustrial management, and association withHouston, Galveston, Corpus Christi, Beau-mont, Orange, Port Arthur mand all thetowns betweenmis immediate. Industry knowsabout the opportunity that awaits it on theTexas Coast; industry plans to make today’samazing industrial development greater still.

From the beginning, Houston Pipe LineCompany has been privileged to cooperatewith other Texas companies and communitiesin the industrial development of the Texas

Coast Country. This year the Company be-gins its fourteenth consecutive year ofnational advertising of the Coast Country’sindustrial opportunities. Through its Re-search Department, the Company has sup-plied innumerable companies of manyindustries with detailed information about theCoast Country’s advantages, and it has givennew industries important assistance in thelocation of their plants on Texas’ fabulouscoast.

But the Company’s chief contribution toTexas’ industrial expansion has been to sup-ply it with natural gas, industry’s most effi-cient and economical fuel, and raw materialfor many of the processes in the CoastCountry’s great chemical development.

In ]949, the Company will be betterequipped than ever before to render thisessential service to Texas industry. The con-struction and recent completion of approxi-mately 100 miles of main pipe lines to itsgas fields in East Texas have increased itsability to kecp pace with the expandingeconomy of the Texas Gulf Coast.

Cour~SieS of 3heREPRINTED WITH SPECIAL PERMISSION

FROM THE MAY-JuNE, 1949, ISSUEOF e¢SEAPORTS & AIRPOR TS’~ MAGAZINE

Human relationships are often difficult to reconcile with our

ideas of Christian tolerance and forbearance. There are certainaspects of them, however, which do much to restore a iaded faithin the innate kindliness of humanity. Amongst these are the cour-tesies which have come to be recognized as part of the age-old tradi-tion of the sea. Arising orginally out of a common need forassistance on a perilous element, throughout the long and glorioushistory of the merchant marine there has persisted this recognitionof the importance of courtesies, so that matters at sea, from the verysmallest to the very gravest, are conducted with a dignity and lack ofcasualness which are rare indeed in our time.

The greatest courtesy of them all, that of risking one’s ownsafety and life to go to the rescue of a fellow-creature in peril, isprobably encountered more frequently at sea than anywhere else.The radio message S.O.S. with its poignant appeal in the darknessand the night for assistance, is invariably responded to at sea withall the resources at the listener’s command. When the last resorthas been reached on a sinking ship, the gallant gesture of ~womenand children first" is on every occasion respected. No vessel is toosmall to be denied assistance and no ship is too great to respond toan appeal for aid. The very stateliest liner will willingly turn asidefrom her course at an instant’s notice to go to the rescue of some tinyfishing craft or other small wanderer upon the waters, and in suchcases the commander of the liner treats the master of the littleschooner with the dignity and courtesy due from one ship captainto another. Even that strange and apparently misguided sense ofduty which compels the captain of a sinking ship to stay on the bridgeof his doomed vessel is more a matter of politeness than foolhardiness.Long may the gallantry and courage which are of the essence of thesea’s courtesies continue to exist.
