~ Canada’s Resources

IT IS APPARENT THAT CANADA'S vast wealth of undeveloped natural resources is assuming increasing importance as a source of raw materials, on this continent since present supplies of oil, minerals, and forest products do not now give promise of meeting the growing world demand for them, Although there are extensive developments here in mining, for- estry and oil production, there are still great areas which have yet to be opened up, and when this is done, it will affect Canada’s future in many ways, providing new fields of employment and bringing increased activity to the industrial and economic life of the country. Although extensive de- velopment is not expected to take place in the immediate future, it is in- evitable that Canada’s rich store of natural resources should, in time, be brought into use, and already geologists, prospectors and engineers have made preliminary surveys of lands considered likely to yield valuable raw

materials. * . * . *

» One area in which there has been considerable activ- Rich Deposits ity is in Labrador, where for some time large num- bers of men have been engaged in making maps, and In Labrador preparing the territory to be developed. The results of their work are likely to prove of the utmost importance to Canada, and to the industrial life of the whole continent, At present the richest source ‘ of iron ore in North America is in the north-central United States, but these fields are said to be nearly exhausted, As they cease to yield iron ore, it is expected that the iron and steel industry will gradually move to the eastern coast, and that the deposits in Labrador will become the chief source of raw material for the industry on this continent, Recent surveys have also been made of the area bounded by Yellowknife, Hudson’s Bay, the Manitoba boundary and the Arctic Islands, and it is expected that val-

uable mineral deposits will some day be developed in that territory. * * * * *

Increasing shortages of oil supplies on this conti- Interest Shown nent have directed attention to the Leduc oil field * 4 in Alberta, which gives promise of ranking as one In Oil Fields of the most productive in North America. There are also possibilities of some day producing oil in quantity from the tar sand deposits in northwestern Canada. In forestry, and the production of pulp and paper Canada is also expected to expand in the future, although these industries have already been highly developed in this country, Ad- vanced methods of lumbering, and of processing in the pulp and paper in- dustry, as well as greater utilization of waste products, are now contribu- ting to greater output in these fields. The fact that Canada has a small population in comparison to the extent of the country, and also to the fact that oir natural resources are farther removed from the centres of industry than the great mineral and oil deposits in the United States, have retarded the opening of many of our richest areas, It now appears, however, that we are about to see some of these areas developed, and it is to be hoped that such developments will be carried out with wisdom and in a manner which will be of benefit to the people of Canada and to industries both here and abroad.

REV, M. E. KIRKPATRICK BESIDE PLANE HE USES

Moose Jaw, Sask. — Fairyland has its flying carpets and the United States has.its flying discs, but Saskatchewan has a flying parson, and here he is, Rev. M, E. Kirkpatrick of North Battleford.

The flying missionary is a member of the fac’Ity of the Sharon Orphan- age and Schools at North Battleford, and travels around the province in his own Tiger Moth plane, /(pictured above), preaching a non-denominational gospel on behalf of Global Missions. The orphanage recently dispatched missionaries to South Africa and North China, Besides caring for an aver- age of 20 homeless children, the orphanage operates vocational] schools and gives instruction in flying, among other subjects.

Kirkpatrick, who flew into Moose Jaw on. a wing and a prayer after a harrowing experience in a blizzard over the Cypress Hills, hopes to visit the Arctic Circle soon, along with a fellow minister, to explore the area around the Mackenzie River and do a little missionary work among the native Eskimos, They will travel in the Tiger Moth, which is equipped with skiis.

Clergyman Little Hope Of

Rise In Game Bird Bag Limit

BRANDON, Man.—There was little hope that the bag limit for migratory birds would be increased this year, Sid Roberts, retiring president of the 3randon Fish and Game association, stated at annual meeting.

While there had been fairly good duck hunting around Brandon last fall, birds had been scarce in some other areas, Mr. Roberts said.

He said, however, that he believed there was some prospect for a prairie chicken season on a limited scale as upland birds were making a good comeback. Pheasants had also win- tered well and Hungarian partridges were making a fair comeback. Big game was particularly plentiful, he said, and as a result of considerable damage done by deer there was some agitation for an open season on fe- male deer. ‘

Due to high water in both rivers and lakes, fishing had not been too good in the province in 1947, There was a prospect, he said, that Sandy Lake would be restocked.

ALBERTA COMBINES EARNED $820,000 IN U.S. HARVEST

EDMONTON.—Gross earnings of 149 Alberta combines which operated in the United States last year were $820,000.

The Alberta machines com- bined 155,000 acres of grain in the central western states, from Texas to Montana, Largest acreage was in Kansas... ap- proximately 45,000 acres of wheat. Trucks used to transport the combines to the United States, also hauled an estimated 1,750,000 bushels of grain during the harvest.

No: definite arrangements have yet been made for a_ similar scheme this year, but inquiries have been received from about 250 persons,

dener can do before the ground is | ~~——~~—— ready for planting, dnd it is not a bit too early to start doing them. There will be plans to make, seed catalogues ‘and bulletins to study and supplies to be ordered, It is not too early, either, to start looking around for damage, to see what shrubs and flowers have come safely through the winter, to make'a note of gaps to be replaced.

In this preparatory work, planning for the coming season is the most important and probably the most pleasant. A good seed catalogue will help. In this will be found important points about hardiness, color, time of blooming or, in the case of vege- tables, time of maturity, Remem- bering these facts will help prevent

mistakes, such as planting small things behind larger, getting hig

vegetables crowded too close togeth- er, having clashing colors or long in- tervals when there is no bloom at aii.

By noting carefully the time of blooming or the number of days to maturity, it is possible to plan and create flower gardens that will bloom continuously until frost, and a con- tinuous supply of the very freshest vegetables, In both cases in addition to using early, medium and late va- rieties, it is also advisable to plant several times, say, Once a little ahead of nornial, then normal, then later than normal. This will spread out vegetables and flowers, too, As Soon As Possible

One of the first seeds to be sown will be sweet peas. They should go in just as soon as soil can be worked. They are best planted in a foot deep trench, into which has first been put Mbout three or four inches of well rotted manure or leaves firmly press- ed down, with a little fine soil on top. Gradually the trench will fill in and a deep, drought-resistant root growth is developed. Later on some brush or strings should be provided for sup- port, Frequent picking of flowers will assure long blooming.

Grass Seed Early, Too

Good seed with lawns is vitally im- portant, For special purposes like shady places there are special types of grass or mixtures, Select a day with as little wind as possible to sow the wen seed, and sow it both across and ——. Sow plenty of seed and fertilize. Thick, well- grass will crowd out most weeds, 2766

Institute Reports Progress In

Its Research For Cancer Cure

PHILADELPHIA.—Mice have been immunized against some forms of cancer, Lankenav Hospital's institute for cancer research disclosed. A hu- man blood test to detect the disease has worked in at least one case,

The developments in fighting the second most deadly disease in the United States were reported as the American Cancer Society gave the institute $100,000 for research direct- ed towards a cure.

But Dr. Stanley P. Reimann, insti- tute director .warned: “We must

THE DAYS WHEN | ‘A DOLLAR BOUGHT ‘SOMETHING |

Grace Luckhart, in the Vancou- ver Province, tells of days of early nineties:

“I’m a pushover for old newspapers. When I finished reading the columns and columns of eulogy given Sir John A. Macdonald, in the June 11, 1891, edition of the Belleville Weekly In- telligencer, I spent hours poring over the old advertisements.

Right at the top of page offe, in the best place on the paper, right beside the lead about Sir John, is an ad. for Ball corset, This catches your eye because there is.a drawing of a juggler tossing three balls in the air, No sign of the corset, but this description:

“It's easy enough—the Ball corset. That’s because it has coils of fine

guard against raising false hopes.”

The immunization work has been done with bacterial polysaccharides —a group of starches—the institute said.

It also disclosed it has been experi- menting with teropterin, a folic acid derivative which, has growth-control powers.

Both polysaccharides and teropter- in have been used on human patients. The folic acid derivative relieves symptoms of cancer and is a pain killer,

Detection of cancer through a blood test was accomplished for the first time only a few weeks ago, an- other institute scientist, Dr. Gail Mil- ler, reported,

Dr. Miller said the patient had been examined by X-ray and cancer was not indicated,

Then a test was made by passing an electric current through blood

samples, Dr. Miller described the test as “electrophoresis”, a process which

causes proteins to migrate to the negative and positive electrodes un- der the influence of an electric cur- rent.

Fair enough. Think of being en- closed in coils of fine wire springs!

You could buy dress muslin, fast colors, for 10 cents’ a yard cheese was eight cents a pound, butter 14 to 20 cents a pound, eggs 10 to 12 cents a dozen, potatoes 80 cents to $1 a bag, chickens 30 to 80 cents a pair, geese 40 to 75 cents, turkeys 50.cents to. $1.50. The market for fat cattle was considered good at 414 to 5 cents a pound. Dressed sheep were from g$3.30 to $5.50 each. You could buy a six pound tin of tea, the best, for $2.10.

Wouldn't you wonder why every- body seemed to have consumption or the itch, or rheumatism, when food was so plentiful, and so good? No- body ever got killed by a motor car in those days, although there seemed to be the odd murder back on the side roads,

China To Get Canada Wheat

WASHINGTON.— The administra- tion's China aid programme provides for the purchase of approximately 420,000 bushels of Canadian wheat and 67,500,000 pounds of Canadian flour.

Purchases in Canada would not begin until after July 1 because of the current world wheat shortage. New crops after that date, the de- partment said, should prove ample to meet China's requirements.

Wheat for the $130,000,000 China programme also will be purchased in the United States and Australia.

About three-fifths of the proposed Canadian wheat and flour is pro- grammed for the July-December period. The remainder is scheduled for purchase between January and June 380, 1949. |

Thirty Seismograph Parties To Work In Alberta By Spring.

EDMONTON,.— It was announced here that as many as 30 seismograph parties will be working in Alberta by late spring. The parties will cost ap-

proximately. $450,000 a month to)

maintain.

It is estimated that a major part of the $28,000,000 to be spert in a search for oil in 1948 throughout the Dominion will be spent in Alberta. The seismograph programme alone will employ about 800 highly-trained experts, geologists, engineers, geo- physicists, powder men, drillers and computers, ‘

Seismographs have long been used to record earthquakes but seismolo- gists searching for oil follow a com- plicated routine. They set-off man made earthquakes in order to find rock traps beneath the surface.

The theory is that by exploding charges of dynamite perhaps a hun- dred feet down, they set up shock waves in all directions.

The shock waves bounce off each layer of rock below ‘and a nearby sound truck records them as Wavy

The Life Of A Country Editor

Saskatchewan weekly journalism is still robust.

After reading it, c untry editors all over the province — and some printers on the dailies—will appreci- ate the feelings of Editor Bert Me- Kay as he sat down to write this story for his World Spectator at Moosomin:

“The office staff had a generous cutting of pi to handle last week, on the morning of paper day, and the ef- fect was not pleasant. We don't mean pumpkin pie, or pear pie, but printer's pi.

‘In other words, the front page shot off the press and crashed in & shuddering heap on the floor. After saying ‘tut, tut’ and ‘goodness me’, we started in to mend the damage,

“That front page was shovelled off the floor, into a basin, where it was washed, sorted and put back in place, a mere matter of a couple of days.

“A new front page was set up, with all members of the staff going all out. We had the paper back on the press by two-thirty and just then the folder went on the fritz.

“While we fixed it, we ran off about 1,000 papers. Just when we started the folder, the power went off. So we folded a thousand or so by hand —how would you like to cut your crop with a scythe?

“Finally the power came on, the ‘paper reached the post, If your paper was late, we're sorry. Now you can be sorry for us.”

From these lines, gathered in re- peated tests in the area, they de- termine location of the rock traps. There is no guarantee that the traps will hold oil but chances of finding oil are better in area of seismic highs which indicate such traps a.mile be- low the surface.

Statistics Show Half Of Canada’s Homes Use Coal

OTTAWA.—Speaking of fuel—and who isn't—do you know that coal is used as a principal fuel by only 53 per cent. of Canada’s 3,136,000 homes?

The Bureau of Statistics reports that only 12 per cent. Burn the nar- rowing oil supplies threatened by shortages in the United States, Can- ada’s major supplier. In other homes, 28 per cent. burn wood, four burn gas, one coke and the other one per cent. get along on such things as sawdust, electricity and coal-oil.

A breakdown by types of heat- generating equipment shows that 28 per cent, of homes are heated by hot

_ air furnace, 15 per cent. by steam or

hot water furnace, 22 per cent, by cookstove or range, 34 per cent. by heating stoves and one per cent. by other means. Supplementary heat- ing equipment is used by 48 per cent. of homes, 29 per cent, use cook- stoves or ranges, 13 per cent. heating stoves and five per cent. use fire- places.

The survey also shows that in August, 1947, 90 per cent., or 2,818,- 000 of the homes of Canada had ra- dios, compared with 78 per cent. in 1941. Ontario and British Columbia had the highest percentage in radios, the prairie provinces the next high- est, and Quebec and the Maritimes the lowest. , About eight per cent. have more than one radio,

Only about 50 per cent. have tele- phones, as compared with 40 per cent. in 1941, Sixty-two per cent. of homes in Ontario have telephones, 55 per cent, in British Columbia, 44 per cent. in Quebec, 38 per cent: in the prairie provinces, arid 35 per cent. in the Maritimes,

Germs Have Learned To Resist Penicillin

NEW YORK.—A major medical puzzle—how germs learn to resist penicillin—was reported by the Ster- ling-Winthrop Research Institute, Rensselaer, N.Y.

The germs change their shapes. They change their body chemical properties. They are as different from their own kind of germs as mongrel dogs are from pure-breeds, the re- port stated.

This ability of germs to become resistant to penicillin applies also to other medicines. It has always been a medical risk.

They get that way, sometimes quickly, merely by meeting up with doses of penicillin or other drugs that are too small to kill them. A second dose, which would have killed in the first place, is then not big enough,

First 60 Days To Decide Next War-Eisenhower

WASHINGTON.—If war ..mes to the United States again, the first 60 days will decide the winner, Gen. Dwight D. Bisenhower forecasts.

Eisenhower, now an elder military statesman, said so in his farewell re- port as army chief of staff. He dealt with matters diplomatic as well as military, however, in writing his final statement. He saw the European re- covery plan fathered by George C. Marshall, state secretary, as vital to “our sister democracies” and to the United States.

Bisenhower did not mention Rus- sia by name but he said:

1, If the western European coun- tries were to “become the pawns of totalitarianism, America’s security would be in dire danger.”

2. If the democracies of the Med- iterranean area should fall and that corridor between east and west were blocked, “the effects would be in- stant and catastrophic.

“War, in such case, would be close to us.”

Looking down the purely military. road, he predicted: “Because major nations, in the future, will be armed with weapons of terrifying destruc- tive power, a series of lightning blows might conceivably end a future war at its outset.

“A corollary to this is the end for a system of major and alternate or secondary bases around which can be organized, first our own defence against air attack, and next our re- taliatory counter-offensive.”

Work Of Mercy

Barbara Scott

Of The Red Cross | Willing To Auction

It has been said that lightning never strikes twice in the same place, but that does not prevent bad luck from doing so, There are thousands of people who think that way. Among them is one who has real cause to accept that theory. He is a 16-year- old Briarlea, Saskatchewan lad, the oldest of a family of five, who, for the purpose of this story, will be called John Smith.

John is*a farmer’s son. He had witnessed his father’s crop fail for three successive years. One day John was herding the cows home for milk- ing. Suddenly his horse reared and fell over backward, carrying John with him, pinning him crushingly to the ground. Pain surged through him sickeningly. When they had moved him to the nearest hospital it was found that the pelvic bone was broken.

A period of treatment and care was of course necessary but there was no money in the family exchequer for such purposes, so John was removed earlier than might otherwise have been the case. A few days after he was home he found a stick which, he felt, would make a good cane to help him walk. Whirling the stick around in an effort to remove the wire the elusive, thread-like piece of steel twisted crazily and the end pierced the right eye-ball. More hospitaliza- tion followed.

This happened before the present provincial hospitalization plan was in |force and, greatly worried over the |mounting debt, his father appealed |to his local Red Cross branch, and the hospital and medical bills were readily paid, It is for such purposes that the Provincial Red Cross office collects funds, because, in war or peace, the work of mercy never ends.

What happen to the damaged eye? The sight is gone and another operation, after a suitable period of time, is necessary. The doctors feel that, through such an operation, the sight can be restored. The Red Cross is standing by, waiting, and ready if necessary, to foot those bills too. Needless to say such expenses will be high, but a lad’s sight will be restor- ed and he will again become a normal boy without a handicap.

SOUTH AFRICA A MEAT-EATING NATION

South Africa’s meat consumption per head of the population is nearly three times the meat ration of the United Kingdom and greater than the consumption in the United States, said the South African Minister of Agriculturee.

He quoted figures to show the ex- tent of the increased demands on the slaughter-stock industry. Country butchers, he said, are clamoring for an imcreased quota and in many cases their demands aree supported by their members of Parliament.

Skates For Charity

LONDON. — Barbara Ann Scott Said she would be “glad” to auction off a pair of skates in Canada for charity.

The Olympic, World, European and North American figure-skating title- holder was commenting on a sugges- tion put forward by a reporter. She Said the idea is “wonderful and I would be glad to do it for a worthy charitable cause.”

“IT would be glad to auction the skates if it did not interfere with my amateur status and providing I re- ceive permission from all the figure- skating associations and the Inter- national Skating Union,” she said.

Canadian School Has Own Ski Technique

STE. MARGUERITE, Que The Canadian Ski School this season rounds out its first decade of opera- tion and is well on its way to evolv- ing a peculiarly Canadian style in skiing.

This has been recognized by the Canadian Amateur Ski Association which heeded the request of several Canadian ski organizations and estab- lished The Travelling Ski School being carried on in Northern Ontario and Manitoba.

After years of experimentation, Canadian teachers have developed a ski style easily adaptable to Domin- ion slopes—either in east or west. It has been evolved over the years from the famed Alberg parallel, French and Swiss techniques.

Safer Place For A Historic Stone

UPNOR, England.—Dick Whitting- ton, the London mayor immortalized by a nursery poem, is reputed to have led the annual dance about a weather-beaten stone near this fish- ing village.

Now the weather-beaten stone, which bears the arms of London city and dates to 1206, is to be moved from the Medway River bank to a safer place.

In the olden days the stone was decked with garlands once a year by a laborer enthroned for one day as Upnor’s “mayor” at a ceremony at- tended by the lord mayor of London. The stone once marked a boundary on the Thames watershed and Dick Whittington, like other chief citizens of London, visited it during his term of office.

Old Dutch Paintings On Display In Ottawa

Retain Glowing Beauty After 400 Years

Canadians Helped Restore “Old Masters” Carried Ott By Germans During The War

By EDNA JAQUES Central Press Canadian

OTTAWA. — This week Canada’s capital city has princely visitors, most of them 300 and 400 years old, which have come through fire and water, been lost and found again, exiled in a strange and hostile land, but still they smile at you from gild- ed frames and their beauty glows as if only painted yesterday. They are beautiful old Dutch paintings on loan by the Dutch government so that the United States and a few Canadian cities in Canada might rejoice over their restoration.

His excellency the Netherlands am- bassador in Canada described them as: ‘No more representative messen- gers of our nation’s grateful remem- brance could be found than ‘our old masters’ ranking probably among the world’s greatest achievements, they are at the same time entirely charac- teristic of the nation they sprang from ... they reveal the essential traits of our people, in their clear and patient realism, in mystic quality of their light ... in their love of still things, the flat landscape ... the deep sense of freedom and dignity.

“To Canada ... these paintings shared our wartime destiny and bring a@ grateful message that what brave Canadian soldiers helped to save and free was not only the soil and the cities, but the mind and soul of a nation.” :

Taken By Nazis

Hundreds of the most precious masterpieces of Holland were carried off by the Germans and stored along with pictures of Hitler and his hench- men, tons of Naz propaganda and treasures from other occupied coun- tries, in centres in Munich, Berlin and other centres. After the Allied armies marched in, one of their first jobs was to start gathering up these precious treasures, identifying them, and restoring them to their respec- tive countries.

They set up art collecting points for “displaced treasures” and invited people from the claimant countries to identify them, Art scholars were called in and all the marvelous work of restoring them to their owners was set in motion. As soon as a painting or jewelery, tapestries, fur- niture, books, or sculpture piece was identified beyond question, it was set aside and when a truckload was gathered they were sent back to their respective countries. ‘

Great was the rejoicing in. Holland when their precious paintings “came home”. In gratitude for this, a small selection of them are now on loan to America to be shown in the United States, as it was mostly Americans

Limitless Supplies

Alberta's Athabaska Tar Sands

Contain ‘Billions

of Barrels’ of Oil

(By Charles J. Woodsworth In Ottawa Citizen)

Pieper tage: Canada today produc-

es only about 10 per cent. of her crude oil requirements, her oil re- sources are considered by govern- ment scientists to be almost limitless. One principal drawback stands in the way of immediate exploitation. That is cost,

Here is the Dominion’s 1947 crude

oil production picture:

Barrels

New Bunswick ....... 22,848 Ontario Tk 124,954 Saskatchewan ........ 528,932 Alberta 6,711,276 ING Wakk: Soe se dve ecb ene 244,194 7,632,204

The North-West Territories crude, produced at the Norman Wells field, it may be noted, is used only locally at Yellowknife and at other mining developments on Great Bear Lake.

By far the greater part of Can- ada’s production—in excess of 5,000,- 000 barrels— comes from Alberta’s Turner Valley. For years now the output of this field has been steadily

watching for) geclining. Then in February, 1947,

after an estimated $23,000,000 had been spent in fruitless exploration and drilling, the Imperial Oil Com- pany’s truck oil at Leduc.

The Leduc field is 20 miles south- west of Edmonton. By the end of last year 35 wells had been drilled and are now in production. The effect of this new development has been to arrest the prairie decline; Alberta's 1947 production figures topped those of 1946. Moreover it is hoped that by next fall, when many more wells will have been sunk at Leduc, prairie pro- duction will-be able to make up the “deficit” of roughly 20,000 barrels per day the three prairie provinces. im- port beyond what they produce.

Whether the western oilfields will be able to supply Canatia’s needs be- yond those of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba is to a great extent a matter of transportatjon. The main refineries in Western Canada are at Calgary, Regina and Moose Jaw, with

the average, ey before getting himself ‘killed in « smaller ones at Brandon and Winni

peg. And the West’s capacity to re- fine crude is to be stepped up shortly with the installation at Edmonton of the war-famed Canol refinery, now being brought there from White Horse in the Yukon.

But hauling oil by tank car over any distance is expensive. To use an East-West illustration, it is not con- sidered economic at present to trans- port oil by boat and tank car from the big refineries at Sarnia, Ont., much farther west than Winnipeg.

Pipelines are the cheapest method of transporting oil but are costly to build; Unless they are laid down,

however, it would seem that the haul- | age of oil beyond the prairie region |

lias reached the economic limit. The problem is the same as confronts On- tario and Quebec cities in bringing eastward greater supplies of Alberta coal.

All crude oil produced today in Canada comes from drilling opera- tions, But’ there are other potential sources, principally the Athabaska bituminous or tar sands.

The existence of these sands, some 300 miles north of Edmonton, has been known for many years, and in 1930 a company known as Abasand

“New Look”

Disappearing In Spring Fashion

This result is to be achieved through ruffled parasols, ultra-feminine petti- coats and gentle shades of pink and violet.

Enthusiasm for spring styles on the prairies is slightly hindered by continued cold weather, but the fashion-wise say there is no danger of the “new look” disappearing. Navy tops the color pageant,

Oils, Limited, was formed to attempt their development, Abasand’s opera- tions were conducted on a 100-acre leased area on the Horse River, a tributary entering the Athabaska a short distance above Fort McMurray.

Abasand erected a plant for the mining, extraction and refining of the bitumen. A fire destroyed the plant, but in 1943, under the urgency of the growing wartime demand for oil, the Dominion government entered in- to an agreement with the company to finance its operations, The plant was rebuilt and began operations late in 1944, only to bé destroyed by a second fire in June, 1945. It has not been rebuilt.

Although this disaster ended the Dominion government's development work, the Alberta government has stepped into the picture, It is build- ing a new plant at Bitumont, 50 miles down the Athabaska River and is hopeful of operating it on a commer- cial basis.

In discussing the possibilities of the famed tar sands, government oil men like Dr. G, 8. Hume, of the Geological Survey, Department of Mines and Resources, are cautious. But they go this far. Research to date, they say, indicates that the cost of producing crude oil from the Ath- abaska sands is reasonably close to that of drilling for it “if no account is taken of high labor costs and the remoteness of the Athabaska region.”

Distance is the real sticker. If the Athabaska sands were only in On- tario, close to the industrial districts, says Dr. Hume, they would no doubt be developed in jig time. There is no question of the vast amounts of oil the sands contain. Conservatively, the supply runs to “billions of barrels.”

Tar sands apart, Canada possesses two other sources of oil. Through hydrogenation, oil can be extracted from coal, and Canada, particularly Western Canada, has vast coal sup- plies. But so costly is the hydrogena- tion process that so far scientists dismiss it as a practical method of augmenting the Dominion’ home-pro- duced oil supply.

Again there are oil shales in New Brunswick's Albert county. During the war the Dominion government conducted experimental drilling in these shales, but once again it was considered uneconomic to attempt de- velopment.

LOUD Steve said “the big build- ing’s the Aquarium,” hut to him-

“selt he said “there's something fishy

about this.”

Nothing looked fishy in a young man riding around with a pretty girl in a blue sport coupe, showing her the sights. But somehow Steve felt ill-at-ease, as if there were some- thing he needed to know.

He had met Helen that morning. He was sitting in the hotel lobby sunk in the depths of an easy chair and the realization’ that Elaine— lovely Elaine with the quizzical eye- brows—wasn't going to come, It was eleven thirty, and their date had been set for eleven fifteen, Steve wonder- ed how to pass the week-end in a strange town.

Then Helen walked in. She glanc- ed around, shyly, and t the same time poised,

“Are you waiting for someone?” he asked.

“Well,” she said, gazing at him with brown eyes, “I’m looking—”

She paused, and he filled in: “Look- ing around? I make a good guide,”

“Yes,” she said, cCefinitely. ‘I’m looking around.”

“Good.” He invited her to a seat and introduced himself.

“I'm Steve Laramie,” he said, “Harriston’s leading tourist guide.” Then he asked a few questions, to all of which she replied vaguely. Finally: “Wouldn't you like to see something beside a row of synthetic marble pil- lars and the captain of the bell- hops?”

“Why—” she seemed undecided— “Are you sure y@’re not waiting for someone ?”’

“No,” he said truthfully, “I’m not busy.”

As he escorted her to the car he found that her name was Helen Trent and that she loved to dance. He also found that she had soft hair and a warm voice, and a way of looking at him like the scent of laughter in the air,

Well, it didn’t matter, She was a marvellous companion. She didn’t talk much, laughed when he said something amusing, and said ‘“‘oh” in all the right places.

“Harriston’s the biggest inland barley shipping centre~in the state,” he said, repeating Elaine’s words of the day before.

“Oh,” said Helen.

He took her to the Cathedral, the Old Market and the spot on the river bank where John G. Harris, some 80 years ago, had found a huckleberry bush just like the one in front of his Virginia home, and set up a trading post,

He took her along the river front and the industrial district, with the new ice-cream cone factory,

“Largest ice-cream cone factory this side of the Mississippi,’ he said.

“Two hundred thousand - single cones per day,” he added, “and fifty thousand doubles.’

At the War Memorial he pointed out several of his buddies whose names shone out from the list, Well, several of his buddies were listed on war memorials; did it matter that none of them were Harriston’s?

“My,” said Helen, “you certainly Anow Harriston well. Have you lived here long?”

“Yes,” he said, .““—terday this park would have been so crowded we would have had to detour.”

No, he hadn't lived in Harrington long. Only since Wednesday, to tell

the truth. The company had sent him out to set up a branch office, and he had arrived not Knowing a soul,

He had fixed that, thotigh. After registering at the hotel he had walk- ed down the Main Street, and it was then that he met Elaine. She work- ed in ® bookstore, and he had had to buy a dictionary before he could make her realize that he was a per- son rather than a customer. Then he made two witty. remarks and col- ored his features with lonesomeness before she would show him the town.

Helen didn’t need to know that, of course. It might make her distrust her guide, which would be unpatriotic to Harriston.

“Are you going to be in Harriston often?” he asked as they stopped to share a soda,

“Why, yes,” she said. “I suppose I will—now.” And she had looked at him with the word “now” in a way that stopped his visions of a lonely time in a strange town,

They went on their way and watch- ed the sailboats on the lake, looked over the view from Lookout Point, and bought cokes from a peddler by the river, Steve got out of the car to shoo a goose back into the water, but the goose reacted oddly. It hissed like a split bellows and expanded to almost twice its normal size, In ef- fect the goose shooed Steve back in the car,

Then he glanced at Helen, and saw her smiling at him as if to say: I’m laughing at a joke you know and at one you don’t.

That was why, as they drove out of the park, he suggested to himself that the Aquarium might be fishy.

“I live just around the corner,’ he said as they drove down Laurel Street. “Do you mind if I stop by for the mail?”

“No, not at all.”

He pondered the problem as he pulled up to the curb and walked to the mailbox, Something was wrong. A man might go down to the drug- store just for an evening’s talk, but

a woman didn’t lift an eyebrow that there wasn’t a man or a plan on the end of it.

No, Helen hadn’t wandered into the hotel lobby just to look around. Had someone stood her up, aS Elaine had him? :

Boy, he thought as he took a note out of the mailbox, anybody that would stand up Helen must have been petrified from birth.

“—_married—ring at the jeweler’s —” He read the note by phrases, still thinking about the brown eyes he saw watching at the curb.

Prices For Farm Products Hit Record

Increase Shown In All Provinces For Poultry And Egg Prices Except In Saskatchewan And Alberta OTTAWA.—Canadian farmers gen- erally received all-time high prices for their products in December, the bureau of statistics reported.

The bureau’s general index number for farm prices climbed to 208.8 com- puted on the base 1935-1939 equals 100, this was a record high and com- pared with 203.9 a month earlier and 185.5 for December, 1946.

Compared with December, 1946, the index numbers for all provinces registered substantial increases, and the report said higher prices for grains, livestock, dairy products and potatoes were chiefly responsible. Increases were shown also in the in- dices of prices for pauitry and eggs in all provinces except Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Annual average index for the year 1947 also was a new record at 195.4 compared with the previous peak of 184.1 for 1946. Offsetting the higher grain, livestock and dairy prices to some extent were declines in the prices received for potatoes in all provinces and poultry and eggs in Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick.
