If It's 'Black Gold' You're Seeking—
You'll Find Oil Both On And In Exhibits
Oil is both medium and subject in paintings, watercolors, and drawings now on exhibit in Spooner-Thayer's north and south galleries.
The collection, titled "Oil: 1940-1945," portray the activities of the oil industry from the tropics to the Arctic. Pictured are the steps of production, refining, transportation, and the uses of oil.
Mrs. Mary Warner, museum curator, explained that the artists, commissioned by Associated American Artists, were given complete freedom to interpret their assignments as they saw fit. Four were assigned to portray oil as it comes from the ground. One went to the Arctic to record oil production under subzero conditions. Another got ideas from oil fields in the tropical jungles of Venezuela. Two portrayed oil production on America's western plains.
Some of the artists followed oil
One canvas depicts transportation of oil through the great domestic pipeline. Another shows transportation of the "black gold" over the Ledo-Burma road.
Robert Benney's "Watching the Fuel Dump" shows oil distribution in the Pacific war area. "A Stalled Bulldozer, an interesting watercolor by Franklin Boggs, shows a helmeted soldier pouring gasoline into a giant tractor surrounded by brilliant New Guinea jungle.
U.S., Russia Have Important Resources; No Cause to Fight, Says Dean Stockton
Russia and the United States are the two great power centers of the world today. Both have practically all of the important resources needed to maintain great populations in a balanced industrial - agricultural economy. There is thus no reason why they should fight each other for raw materials.
"Oil: 1940-1945" will remain in the museum till after June 1, Mrs. Warner said.
This is one of the conclusions of Frank T. Stockton, Dean of the School of Business, published by the Bureau of Government Research. Dean Stockton's article is one of the citizen's pamphlet series of the bureau. It is titled "Natural Resources: Their Relation to Power and Peace."
Resources In Four Groups
Resources are classified under four groups by Dean Stockton. They are physical resources, population, space, and the factors necessary to make useful the space. Each continental mass, and in some cases individual countries, are discussed in relation to the groups of resources.
Russia is still below this country in heavy industry but has greater petroleum reserves. There is no indication how the comparison will stand in twenty years.
Economically, North America is better integrated than any other continent. South America lacks industrial development and the potential for heavy industry. The same is true of Africa. China and India are better situated in resources but probably will remain as middle powers.
Russia Has Potential
That heavy industry is the basic element in modern economic strength and that steel is the heart of this industry is stated in the pamphlet. Coal and petroleum are the two main power fuels that make the wheels revolve, Dean Stockton said. He added that no nation can be strong unless it is self-sufficient in its basic food supply.
Hass Speaks On Chemicals
Organic raw materials are being derived more from petroleum products than ever before. Dr. Henry B. Hass, chairman of the chemistry department at Purdue university, told members of the Kansas City section of the American Chemical society Friday.
Robert Stallman, assistant professor of English, will read the poetry of W. B. Yeats at 7:30 p. m. today in 110 Fraser hall.
The last poetry reading of this semester will be Tuesday, June 3,
when Ray West, associate professor of English, will read the works of modern English poets.
Dr. Hass, who was affiliated with atomic research during the war, had his lecture on nitre compounds outlined on slides which were shown upon a screen. This enabled the audience to follow the postulates and chemical processes as he explained them.
"Though I know that the expression 'Age of Transition' is hackneyed, having been used by Adam as he and Eve were leaving the garden of Eden, it still can be applied to chemistry today," he said.
Dr. Hass, who has been experimenting with a process of mixing petroleum compounds and nitrogen, said that the chief uses of these nitro-paraffins are for soap, solvents, floor-wax, and cosmetics.
