Of course, if you live in a house using natural gas now, you'll continue to get the gas you need for the appliances you're using or their replacements. People who already live in gas houses are lucky. But America needs millions of new homes every year. And the home builders already have felt the effects of the gas shortage. In many areas of the country, builders can't get natural gas for all the new homes that must be built.

And that adds to the supply problems of the other forms of energy. It doesn't leave.the new. home buyer much choice and means he could pay more for his home. But, all forms of energy that America oil, coal, in short supply. And Americans should be concerned about that.

You can help by learning more about the energy crisis and supporting efforts to.provide America with enough energy to meet all its needs, including new and better'housing. Columbia Gas is working to help solve the energy crisis through Arctic exploration. The advancement of millions of. dollars-for rights to gas discovery has stimulated exploration and drilling activities in the Arctic. Commercially have been found.
