That Jehovah's Witnesses are a missionary society, can be seen in the efforts of nearly 800,000 mini-sters who have devoted 110,390,944 hours preaching in 175 countries and islands around the globe. Hatton pointed out that the climax of this seminar will be a free public talk entitled, "A Paradise Earth Through God's Kingdomj", which will be given on Sun-day, March 22 at 3 p.m. This Bible discourse will be delivered by Matthew M. Kolar, Grant Town, West Virginia, who is district supervisor.

Oil Economy Must Fight Foreign Imports On February 3 the New York Times reported, in a front page story, that a cargo of Rumanian oil had been purchased 'by afri American company by contracts with interests operating behind the Iron Curtain. The cargo was announced as fuel or residual oil. Also on February 3rd the New York Journal of Com-merce quoted Russian officials as announcing plans to1 greatly enlarge their pipeline facilities to Europe. This creates a serious threat to the domestic oil industry, in which Utah is fast growing in importance, and also to American labor for they are both now in competition with the Russian government for the American market. The Oil Industry in Utah up to January 1, 1958 had produced $41,863,000 in srude oil. In the year 1957 natural gas valued at $2,700,000 was produced. 34 of the states land is under lease and either in operation or being explored.
