Other Saudi content includes Aramco's provision of scholarships to encourage Arab women into nursing; and the battle against desertification.

Phillips, and issued monthly by Aramco's PR Department in New York. Phillips transformed what was a utilitarian in-house bulletin into a professionally produced magazine targeting a much wider audience, maintaining a strong focus on Saudi Arabia and the region. The cover story (continued and concluded in the February 1962 issue) describes Aramco's role in fostering and developing local talent in Saudi Arabia: "Aramco found oil in Saudi Arabia; it also discovered the rich human resources of the Saudi Arab himself". Its initiative targeted industry, merchants, and agriculture, and saw the formation of the Arab Industrial Development Department. Other Saudi-related articles include a profile of Abdul Wahab Mansour al-Moallam ("a Qatif nurseryman has that very special touch that makes the desert bloom"), and Asir ("Saudi Arabia's green and little-known province"). Other articles cover Isfahan, Herodotus ("first tourist in the Middle East"), a history of the bow and arrow, and US patenting. Photographers include Aramco's own B.H.
