PRESIDENT'S COLUMN

The 1976-1977 annual notice of dues was mailed to the 2,640 members of the Houston Geological Society on August 15, 1976. When you mail your checks will you please also fill out the new Directory & Membership File Card, as well as check the committees on which you would be willing toserve. The cards should be returned to the HGS Office with your dues.

Tony Reso and his administration are to be commended for an increase of 417 in membership; however, their greatest commendation should be for the total amount of work they accomplished. It was tremendous. I suggest you re-read Tony's column "Hieroglyphics" in the June Bulletin.

A majority of our committee chairmen are in their second year and are now experienced so they should accomplish even more this year; however, they cannot do the job by themselves. When they call you, give them a favorable response. The more good people we have working theeasier it is to get projects completed and the more projects we can attempt. If you have a special aptitude, or desire, to work on some committee and haven't been contacted, call that committee chairman and make him aware of your desires.

Don Lane, our Bulletin Editor, needs some good short technical papers. If you have one, or can generate one, make it available. I am sure you will be proud to have it published in our Bulletin. Don can always use news of our members.

This, if you didn't already know, is a national election year. In Texas, you must be registered in 1976 at least 30 days before November 2, to be eligible to vote in this national election. If you are a resident of Harris County, you may request a Voter Registration Application by calling 224-1919, Ext. 310. It will be mailed to you. Or if you prefer, you may go to 406 Caroline (4th floor) and pick up your Voter Registra- tion Certificate. Don't lose your privilege to vote by npt registering in time-do it now!

Our program plans sound excellent. The programs are for you. We hope you will takeadvantageof them. If you know of an excellent program that might be available to us, contact Dean Grafton, our program chairman. He may be able to work it in before the year is over.

HAL H. BYBEE, President Houston Geological Society

NEW RESERVATION PROCEDURE FOR TECHNICAL MEETINGS (PLEASE READ)

It may come as a surprise to some, that based on historical experience, the number guaranteed for a meeting is not even close to the number of reservations received. The Technical Program Chairman must, of necessity, possess some degree of clairvoyance in detemining what percentage of the reservations to guarantee on any given date. He looks out the window to ascertain the wind direction, listens to a long range weather forecast, reads the coffee grounds in the bottom of his morning cup, studies other esoteric data, crosses his fingers, and calls the hotel 24 hours in advance with a firm guarantee. Sometimes he is right, sometimes he is wrong. When he is wrong, he can err by not having guaranteed enough or too many.

A vivid illustration of the problem is Guest Night last June at the Houston Oaks Hotel. There were 451 reservations received and on this figure the guarantee was 375, or 83% of the number of reservations (a reasonable figure based on previous Guest Night experience), but only 328 showed up. Simply stated, 73% or only 3 out of every 4 who made a reservation actually came. The attendance was 47 short of the guarantee but it was 123 short of the number of reservations.

A further complicating factor in arriving at a guarantee figure is that the caterers will only prepare to serve 5% over the number guaranteed. For example if the guarantee for a noon meeting is 300,315 is all that can beaccomodated. Last year at two noon meetings, members with reservations had to be turned away because some of their colleagues showed up without reservations and occupied places not rightfully theirs.

This year we do not plan to use the business reply reservation cards which formerly were stapled in your Bulletin. The Postal Service has issued new regulations covering business reply mail, the net effect of which is a substantial increase in cost for this type of mail. Since many members make their reservations by telephone anyway, the Executive Board has decided to go to 100% telephone reservations. If you will help make the telephone reservation system work, you will save the society some $1500 on yearly operating expenses. So that each individual geologist does not call in with his own reservation, we ask that each unit or group in those companies employing a number of geologists designate one person to receive reservations from his colleagues. This individual then should call 223-9309 with the reservation count for his group.

PLEASE MAKE A RESERVATION IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND

PLEASE ATTEND IF YOU MAKE A RESERVATION PLEASE CANCEL YOUR RESERVATION IF UNABLE TO

The problem of reservations, guarantee, and actual Thank you for reading the above and now that you attendance at Our techincal meetings needs to be brought to appreciate the problem, I am confident that every HGS the attention of the membership. During the 1975-76 year, the member will cooperate. society suffered a net loss of $354 paying for reservations which were not honored. This figure would have been $4608 if the actual reservation figure had been guaranteed for each meeting. I am sure that we all agree that it is a waste of society DEAN Vice President

EVAPORITES, SULFIDES, AND PETROLEUM (Abstract)

by: Dr. Robert F. Schmalz

Many ancient evaporite deposits exhibit features whichare difficult to explain in the framework of a shallow-watersalina or sabkha genetic model. Most of these difficulties canbe overcome by postulating evaporite deposition in a deep-barred basin filled to sill depth with salt-saturated brine. Sucha deep-basin model appears oceanographically and geologi-cally reasonable, even though no such basin is known today.

The deep-basin hypothesis has been applied primarily.tothe study of ancient "saline giants," but it has geologicimplications which are of almost greater interest. A period ofstagnation and euxinic sedimentation must develop in thebasin prior to the inception of salt deposition. During thisperiod, large quantities of organic material may settle to thebasin floor where reducing conditions ensure their preserva-tion, providing a potential petroleum source bed. Sulfatereduction and proteolytic decay in the anoxic bottom wateryields hydrogen sulfide which chemically will "strip" theoverlying water of dissolved base metals, precipitatingextremely insoluble sulfides of copper, lead, zinc, and iron.Because the volume of seawater which must be concentratedin the basin by evaporation before salt precipitation canbegin must be at least ten times the volume of the basin, thischemical stripping action may produce an economicallysignificant deposit of sulfide minerals. The salts in a deepevaporite basin thus may provide the seal above a petroleumsource bed or the cap over an important ore deposit.

This paragenetic model is shown to conform closely toseveral well-known sedimentary basins in which salt,petroleum, and sulfide ores are associated, and offers anessential guide in exploration for new reserves of petroleum,natural gas, and base-metal ores.

TREASURER'S REPORT STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION lNCOME AND EXYENSES FOR FISCAL YEAR 1975-76

In compliance with the Bylaws which require that the -- OPERATING FUND

membership be furnished periodic statements of the finan- a s ~ IN BANK - JULY 1 , 1975

cia1 condition of the society, this report is submitted for the fiscal year 1975-76.

The society maintains monies in three funds: Operating, Academic and Memorial. The Operating Fund is used to run the society; i.e., publish the Bulletin (the major expense), cover miscellaneous meeting expenses, and pay for the necessary administrative, clerical, printing, and mailing costs. Operating income is derived from two sources, member's dues and Bulletin advertising. A deficit for 1975-76 was averted due to five reasons: a substantial increase in membership with a corresponding increase in dues revenue, an outstanding job by Kenneth W. Toedter in selling Bulletin advertising, Martha Lou Broussard's efforts in holding down meeting expenses, $500 received from the Offshore Technol- ogy Conference, and the overall effort of the Executive Board in holding down expenses, especially as related to the Bulletin. With the additional funds available for 1976-77 through the dues increase approved by the membership, money should beavailable forthe continued upgrading of the Bulletin.

IN MEMORIAM

GERALD JULIAN SMITH (1 903-1 976)

Gerald Julian Smith died at age 73 in Atlanta, Georgia on July 7, 1976. He is survived by his wife, a daughter, a sister, a granddaughter and grandson. He suffered a heart attack on July 1, was hospitalized unconscious, and passed away never having regained consciousness. Jerry was born in Pipestone, Minnesota, September 17, 1903. His elementary and high school training was in Minneapolis. After one year at Wooster College he went to the University of Minnesotafrom which he graduated in 1925 with a major in Petroleum Geology. Hewas hired by the California Company in a surface geology party working in West Texas. About a year later he resigned to head a surface geological party in the same area for Southern Crude Oil Purchasing Company, asubsidiary of Standard Oil of Indiana

Southern Crude Oil entered an economy program with Jerry's employment terminated in June 1928 on short notice. He was employed by Gypsy Oil Company, a subsidiary of Gulf Production Company, as a surface geologist for West Central Oklahoma. He was working in that capacity out of El Reno, Oklahoma at the economic crash of 1931, and his employment was terminated shortly thereafter. Jerry re- turned to Minneapolis until he wasemployed as asubsurface geologist by Shell Oil Company in 1935, located in Houston as supervisor of the Southwest Texas District. He resigned from Shell in 1936 to join and help organize the geological and geophysical departments of Pan American Production Company, a partially owned subsidiary of Standard Oil Company of Indiana, which had just been formed with headquarters in Houston. Jerry quickly established himself as an "oil finder" and built geological and geophysical departments with that same ability. He was promoted to the position of Vice-president in 1947 and was a member of the Executive Committee when Standard Oil acquired the outstanding minority interest in Pan American and merged it into a subsidiary, Stanolind Oil & Gas. Apparently Jerry's "oil f ind~ng" and executive ability were recognized for he was transferred to Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1956, which then was the

operating headquarters of the company for the Western Hemisphere. In one month he was placed in charge of the exploration program for continental South America. Stano- Iind consolidated its headquartersfor worldwideexploration, exclusive of the United States and Canada, at New York City in 1958, so Jerry was transferred to that office. He retained his exploration responsibilities, but added thereto was offshore South America plus the Virgin Islands and their offshore boundaries. He was appointed a member of the company's Executive Committee in which position and responsibilities he retained until just prior to early retirement in October 1965.

Jerry's hobby was playing the piano. He had his own orchestra in the University and wasableto financemost of his school expenses by playing for parties at school and in the city. Jerry and Sarah were neighbors and friends from childhood. They were married on February 23, 1927 and had almost fifty happily married years together. Jerry joined the Houston Geological Society upon moving tothat city in 1935. He continued that membership even though he was transferred from Houston in 1956. Even though Jerry Smith is deceased, the memory of him will live in the hearts and minds of his many friends.
