Richardsons, who lost his life United Gas Holds 150 Anniversary During Week The gas industry's Sesquicentennial Anniversary celebration this week marks a century and a half cf technological advances, from gaslights to fuel cells powering capsules in cuter space. "United Gas employees elebrating the industry's 150th birthday are proud of their company's contributions to the dynamic growth of the gas industry," R.

K. Nelson, Newton manager, said. Since its beginning in 1816, when artist-showman Rembrandt Peale formed tine first gas company to light the streets of Baltimore, the gas industry has grown to be the nation's sixth largest industry. Linked together, today's gas transmission and distribution pipelines in America would be long enough to run three pipelines from the earth to the moon. This vast pipeline network currently serves million customers all 50 states and provides one-third of the total energy requirements of the nation.

At First During the first few years of its existence, the gas industry provided only illumination, lending its name to the famous Gaslight Era. Then along came the electric light to signify the end of the era, and almost the end of the gas industry itself. But the industry switched from illumination to beating and cooking as a source of revenue and provided another phrase that has become a part of the language: "cooking with gas." While the gas industry grew Mrs. C. M.

and Mrs. Frank Everett of Moss Point are the guests of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Everett, this week. Maj.

The parents established the Jack Richardson Memorial Scholarship for Clarke College in honor of their son. The Rev. J. C. Richardson, 75, was a member of the first class to attend Clarke College, when the school opened in 1908.

steadily during the period from 1816 to World War it is in the postwar years, when pipeline technology made its vast reserves cf natural gas available to major metropolitan areas, that the industry rocketed into the space age. The $2 billion being spent this year for expansion is over half the total capital investment of the entire industry in 1 1937. The gas industry has more than one eye on the space age. The fuel cells that nowpower Gemini capsules may find their counterpart soon in the average home. Such progress has been made that it is fully expected they will be on the market sometime in the 1870's.
