You might think of HNG
as just a Texas gas company,
but we're doing some things
in the Midwest that make the
world look a little brighter.
Zeigler Coal, one of the HNG
companies, is mining coal that's
used by power companies
to generate electricity
in the Midwest. HNG
currently has six un-
derground mines in
operation in Illinois and
Kentucky, and by the
late 1970s, we'll have a
production capacity of
11 million tons a year.
We also have a new coal
mining operation in
Colorado, and we're
working on new trans-
portation systems to get 11
the coal to market.
But coal is just one of
the things we're doing
about America's growing
energy needs. We're also
carrying on an extensive
drilling program in West Texas
designed to increase HNG's con-
tribution of energy to the nation.
And with our network of intrastate
pipelines, we're able to maintain
a steady flow of natural gas energy
to the Texas Gulf Coast area.
HNG
We're doing _some
things that help make
faces light up.
HNG is doing the unex-
pected in a lot of areas. We're
working around the world in
carbon dioxide and other indus-
trial gases, coal mining, oil and gas
exploration, pipelining, petro-
chemical processing and more.

ever" get around Houston by just walking into
your corner diner. Try 'em, you'll like 'em, and
may even become a devotee. Call 225-1661 and
see if we won't be happy to make your reserva-
tions.

General George S. Brown
. General George S. Brown, Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Department of
Defense, will make his second appearance
at the Men's Forum, reset for November 10
from the original date of November 9.
General Brown became Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs in July 1974. He had pre-
viously held the position of Chief of Staff,
United States Air Force. His military ca-
reer has spanned three and one-half dec-
ades and three wars.
After General Brown graduated from
West Point in 1941, he began flying train-
ing at Pine Bluff, Arkansas and received his
pilot wings at Kelly Field, Texas in 1942,
and became a second lieutenant.
In August 1942, he joined the Eighth
Air Force in England as a member of the
93rd Bombardment Group. He served in
various positions with the Group, lastly as
executive officer. He was appointed Assis-
tant Operations Officer of the Eighth's 2nd
Air Division in May 1944.
General Brown was a participant in
the famous low-level bombing raid against
the German-controlled oil refineries at
Ploesti, Rumania, August 1, 1943. Then a
major, he assumed command when the lead
plane and 10 others were lost, and led the
battered 93rd back to its temporary base in
Returns
for Men's
Forum
November 10
Bengasi, Libya. For this deed and out-
standing overall performance of duty, he
became a full colonel as the war ended.
In July 1950, soon after the outbreak
of the Korean War, General Brown took
command of the 62nd Troop Carrier
Group, McCord Air Force Base, and in
May 1952, he joined the. Fifth Air Force at
its Headquarters in Seoul as Director for
Operations.
General Brown became a full general
in August 1968 and was given command of
the Seventh Air Force based in Viet Nam.
At the same time, he became Deputy Com-
mander for Air Operations, U.S. Military
Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV).
As Seventh Air Force Commander,
his responsibilities included Air Force com-
bat strike, air support and air defense oper-
ations in Southeast Asia. As Deputy Com-,
mander, Air Operations, MACV, he was
advisor on all matters pertaining to tactical
air support and coordinator for the Repub-
lic of Vietnam and U.S. air operations in the
MACV area of responsibility.
General Brown has held many other
important posts during his long career. On
completing the National War College in
1957, he became Executive to the Chief of
Staff, U.S. Air Force. In June 1959 he was
appointed Military Assistant to the Deputy
Secretary of Defense, and later became
Military Assistant to the Secretary of De-
fense.
In 1964, he was chosen to organize
Joint Task Force II, a Joint Chiefs of Staff
unit formed at Sandia Base, New Mexico to
test weapons systems of all the military serv-
ices.
From 1966 to 1968, General Brown
served as Assistant to the Chairman, Joint
Chiefs of Staff. He was appointed in 1970 as
Commander, Air Force Systems Com-
mand, based at Andrews Air Force Base.
General Brown is a command pilot
and has been awarded many decorations
and service awards, notable among them
the Distinguished Service Cross, Defense
Distinguished Service Medal, Distin-
guished Service Medal (Air Force) with
three oak leaf clusters, Silver Star, Legion of
Merit with two oak leaf clusters, Distin-
guished Flying Cross with one oak leaf
cluster, Bronze Star Medal, Air Medal with
three oak leaf clusters, Joint Service Com-
mendation Medal, and Army Commenda-
tion Medal.
General Brown's talk for the Forum
will pertain to issues related to national se-
curity.
At his initial appearance before the
Men's Forum in October 1976, General
Brown's audience filled the Texas Room,
and this month's event is expected to be no
less popular. Make your reservations by re-
turning the reply card mailed to members or
by telephone, 225-1661.
The Men's Forum begins at noon
sharp with a seated luncheon, followed im-
mediately by General Brown's talk. There

sion will adjourn promptly at 1:30. The cost

If you call us a 'turkey" at this time of
year we won't get insulted. Your Club is so
flooded with turkeys for the holiday feast
we're sure we look like a turkey, talk like a
turkey and strut like a turkey.
Hundreds of the plump-breasted
beauties are being prepared for your
Thanksgiving feast which is being cele-
brated this year on November 24. The buf-
fet line will be open on the 10th floor be-
tween 11:30 and 2:30.
We roast between 30 and 40 tom tur-
keys for the buffet to say nothing of the hun-
dreds of birds we prepare for the Turkey-
To-Go boxes (information elsewhere). And
there will be 20 prime ribs of beef and a
dozen hams with your Club's famous bran-
died fruit sauce.
The fish item will be broiled Gulf red-
fish with langoustina sauce sprinkled with
toasted almonds. Chef Harvey will add his
special touch to the delicious candied yams
with rum, honey and pecans. Add some
green peas with bacon, whipped potatoes
and rutabagas and you'll have your vita-
mins for the day.
And don't forget the huge bowl of
jumbo Gulf shrimp which entices you as
you pass down the buffet line.
Yorkshire pudding, cornbread dres-
sing, fresh cranberry sauce and all the other
Thanksgiving extras will be on the buffet
board. Salads will include a devine molded
Gourmet fruit, crisp mixed greens and a
melange of fresh fruits.
The bread table centerpiece will be a
harvest wagon made of bread and there will
be onion rolls, saffron raisin bread, a pull-
apart cinnamon loaf, orange frosted lemon
quick bread, skinny French bread, soft rolls
and petite Kaiser rolls.
Ready for dessert? The traditional
pumpkin and mincemeat pies will be on the
table and there will be your Club's famous
whiskey pecan cake and rum nut cake. At
the end of the table we'll set a huge beehive
cake you won't be able to resist and your
Club's bakery will prepare chocolate me-
ringue cake, brandied black bottom pie,
strawberry cheesecake, apple brown betty
with hard sauce, lemon pound cake and
walnut-peach crepes. And do sample the
chilled Daiquiri Souffle.
The Club will come alive with ice carv-
ings, fancy decorated pieces and all the fur-
belows which make your holiday memo-
rable. This is one of our big holidays so res-
ervations are strongly urged. Adults: $9.75;
child: $5.25. Call 225-1661.
We'll warm you up with the hearty
dishes of Germany on Saturday, Novem-
ber 12 in the Plantation Room. The Ger-
man Buffet will be laden with smoked sal-
mon filled with horseradish cream, onion
cake, bratwurst, knackwurst, sauerkraut,
sauerbraten and potato pancakes.
Oh, there's more . . . pumpernickel
bread, fish balls with spinach, German
potato salad, tongue and beef salad and
Bremen style chicken ragout which has veal,
sweetbreads, shrimp and mushrooms
added to the poultry. Pick out a German
wine from the wine display and enjoy!
Of course there will be Prime rib of
beef, jumbo shrimp, fresh fruit salad, mixed
green salad and all the other delectable
Saturday night specials. $10.50.
Wing your way around the states via
our All-American Sunday Brunch in the
Plantation Room on November 13. The
brunch line is open from 10:30 to 2:30 and
we'll be featuring foods from several areas.
From California there will be good or
gold miners' Hang Town Fry, a successful
marriage of eggs and oysters. Then help
yourself to a batch of nachos, and burritos
and barbecued chicken from our own Lone
Star state.
Florida will be honored with a molded
orange salad and New York with Del-
monico potatoes. Codfish cakes with
cream-pea sauce are from Boston, and red-
fish Pontchartrain from our neighbor Lou-
isiana.
Numerous other surprises await you
as well as the usual fruit, juices, omelets,
pancakes, roast sirloin, ad infinitum. Invite
a covey of friends and make reservations at
225-1661.
The Saturday after Thanksgiving will
bring food from New England to the Plan-
tation Room. Plan a post UH/Rice cele-
bration with friends.
Along with our famous clam chow-
der, there will be fried scallops, Chatham
oyster shortcake and that marvelous "Cape
Cod Turkey" which is poached schrod with
egg sauce and boiled potatoes and beets and
fried salt pork scraps.
