Abstract: Every avenue of human endeavor, from time immemorial, has been laden with an element of romance. History abounds with the glamour of soldiery, the fascination of statesmanship, the fortitude of business leadership, and the dauntlessness of engineering. In our own natural gas industry, though out individual tasks may seem prosaic and commonplace, there is a true romance that fires the imagination and urges us collectively to greater achievement. Who is there among us who has not thrilled at the sight and sound of a huge gasser, which, responding to the last turn of the bit with a belch and roar sends countless quantities of uncontrolled gas skyward. Mans ingenuity in harnessing this natural resource, and subduing it is his use, is indeed romance. The mighty Niagara has been reduced to a ribbon of electric current the turbulent water of the Colorado have been bought to rest and the service of mankind in Hoover Dam with no less skill and ingenuity, we have tamed a defiant nature when we have brought millions of cubic feet of virgin gas to a condition suitable for mans use and economic consumption.
