Show I WEEKLY NEWS JOURNAL, NORTH DAVIS LEADER, JULY 9, 1981 REFLEX-DA- VIS Middle I Spur According to the Babson's Reports Inc., of June 18. 1981, new tensions in the Middle East, brought near the explosion point by Israel's bombing of the Iraqi nuclear installation, have engendered once again uncertainty over just how reliable petroleum supplies are from that part of the world. WHILE THE U S. has expressed shocked indignation and disapproval over the Israeli attack, the Arab nations including Saudi Arabia have been sharply critical of the American foreign policy that permitted supplying israel with the military aircraft used in the bombing raid. While there was no direct threat of a shutdown of Mideast oil supplies to this country , there is definite danger that Saudi Arabia and perhaps other Arab countries may resort to the pressures of oil availability in attempting to influence U.S. arms policy. It is obvious, therefore, that the efforts of recent years to discover and develop all possible domestic reserves of crude oil and natual gas have not been misdirected. With this emphasis has come a period of accelerated exploration and drilling activitiy in our own regions of most promising potential for bringing forth oil and gas, both onshore and offshore. THERE ARE two prime ob- - I Oil jectives in our intensified search for domestic sources of oil and gas. First is the reduction of dependence upon foreign supplies of petroleum products. w hile second is to make less burdensome the financial payouts for fuel shipments of foreign origin. However, even though conservation mea- sures, new and increased production from various sources, and some lagging in economic activitiy in the world's leading industrialized nations have resulted in a glut of international petroleum supplies in recent months, the present surplus of oil must be regarded as merely an interim respite in a long term problem. There can, of course, be no letup in conservation programs. intensive oil and gas exploration work, and the search roleum products. This segment of the business includes a good many participants, differing widely in size, financial scope, and expertise in the field. Their operations also vary considerably, from development to high-riswildcat drilling. low-ris- undertake a degree of risk, reasonable commitments in the stocks of the independent oil and gas producers can be rewarding. THREE OF these junior oil and gas stocks Babsons Reports feels are worth considering for purchase are Apache Corp., Inexco Oil, and Patrick Petroleum. All have expertise in drilling and exploration, while they have attractive portfolios of leases in regions considered to be of high potential. k k A STEADILY touchier situation in the Mideast has rekindled investor buying enthusiasm for oil and gas stocks, after several months of general apathy because of increasingly supplies of crude oil and refined petroleum products. As in the past. Babson's Reports still favors investments in the issues of the leading oil and gas companies. Also, for y investors in t It should be noted in addition that their generally healthy financial position is augmented by funds derived from the sale of limited partnerships in drilling programs. aposition to for allternative energy sources. THIS NATIONS independent oil and gas producers have a prominent place in the development of domestic supplies. This is extremely apparent in their participation in drilling ventures. During the past year, it is estimated that approximately 88 percent of domestic drilling has been done by the independents and the smaller integrated oil firms. Strictly speaking, the independents include any enterprise with a stake in oil and gas production which does not refine, or market refined, pet- - Auto Emission Checks Slated Drive, Layton.

SESSION II YOUTH CLASSES BOX ELDER TABERNACLE Originally dedicated in 1890 after 14 years in the con- struction phase, the Box Elder LDS Tabernacle in Brigham City was gutted by fire in 1896. But members rallied to rebuild the structure and it was rededicated 13 months later. Built of native stone and lumber, the The BRIGHAM CITY Box Elder LDS Tabernacle hadn't been in use very long before it was struck by fire but that didnt daunt the hearty pioneers. IN FACT, they raised the more than SI 5 .000 to repair the building in less than a year and it was rededicated 13 months 1897. Andwhile that may not sound like a large sum today . it represented afterthefirein three times the original cost up to its first dedication in 1890. And with the rededication, the stand with its pulpit, seats for choir and officials, piano and orgain was built at the entrance, perhaps allowing for quicker exit by the presiding authorities if another fire were to vtrike. THE TABIRNACLE, cons-r- . by many as among the cr-.- most beautiful of religious edifices in the state is little more than an hour's drive from Salt Lake City. It was constructed of native lumber and stone from nearby mountains and originally served a territory extending beyond Box Elder County into south central Idaho. an area larger than the state of Connecticut, a brochure available at the tabernacle says. "J he first impression of this famous landmark is one of quiet dignity and inspiration, with an effective blending of Gothic and Neo Classic motifs." the brochure says. THE BUILDINGS steep buttresses along the sides are of brick, capped by tall white rectangles with steeply pitched gabies. Tall gothic pointed arched windows are set between the brick, buttresses. structure is judged by many as one of the most out- standing examples of early Mormon church architec- ture. It is about 55 miles north of Salt Lake City in downtown Brigham City via easy freeway access. Intricate craftsmanship is evident in the interior woodwork with the quarterfoil" motiff used on the band surrounding the gallery. It is continued down the stairs to the choir and pulpit area w hile the gallery is supported by Roman Doric columns and ceiling decorations of ornamental cast plaster, including light fixtures, the guides explain. THE TABERNACLE, vhik now too small for regular ses sions of area LDS Stake Conferences, is used for firesides and community programs, including occasional organ recitals. Equipped w ith a two manual Reuter pipe organ, exposed pipes enhance the stand reminiscent of the Salt Lake Tabernacle. The unusually fine tonal quality of the majestic organ is enhanced by the superb accoustical properties of the pioneer building which houses it." the brochure says. THESE properties have often been recognized by artists of the concert stage and Metropolitan Opera who have performed here. One of them commented, It is built with accoustics like a violin box. The organ is considered one of the best instruments of its size in the state and was installed in 1951. THE TABERNACLE is open for tours daily throughout the summer, including Sundays. Easy access is provided from Interstate 15 or the Fruitway along U.S. Highway 89. Brigham City is located 21 miles north of Ogden and has a wide assortment of restaurants and lodging |
