Mrs. Gordon Wanless played

Italian Aristocrats
The Italians were prescriptive-
ly selected from old conserva-
, tive families of Italian aristoc
racy who have lived iu Italy for
more than six hundred years
and have not blown hot and cold
with every fad and exigency of
the changing decades. Before

dates underwent three years’ of-

their families were obliged to
pay the equivalent of one thou
sand Canadian dollars.
This background and training
is evident in their social grace
and bearing: Lieut. Cottone’s
formal bow over a lady’s hand
as he asks her to dance, and
the courteous and gallant man
ner of the future Baron of Mig-
giano, Lieut. Piero Vernaleone of
Rome. “Miggiano is only a small
barony in Southern Italy,” Lieut.
Veraleone said modestly. My

Sails “Ding”
There, Lieut. Cottone plans to
sail his “ding” (a one-man sail
boat) in the beautiful bay of
Capri, watch a national soccer
game in one of Italy’s huge sta
diums, and attend the Italian
opera once again. He, like his
close friend “The Baron”, has
missed the warm Mediterranean
sea breeze and the usual Sunday
cultural entertainment.

Europeans concur, “are

They were in accord,
their tastes in American music.
They preferred the rhythms of
Louis Armstrong and Cab Cal

But for the Italians, “jazz,” as
they call it, cannot take the
place of their newest song hit,
“Angelo” or the South American
sambas, congos and tangos play
ed by the bands at home. For
the Dutch and Belgians the new
song honoring the reclaimed
province of Zeeland called “Bells
of Arnenuiden” (Dutch) and
“Les Cloches” (Flemish) seems
to be the favourite in the Low
lands.
They had something to say,
too, about Canadian women.
“They're very independant,”
Lieut. Andrea Maes observed for
it was a new experience for him
and his friends to meet Cana
dian girls.
“In Europe,” declared Lt.
Cottone, his white teeth flash
ing against his olive skin
dark waving hair, “we only
two things of our women in
home—peace and love.”
Achievement Record
Nevertheless, with all the
justments to be made in their
daily lives in Canada, the NATO
hoys have set a record for
achievement. According to F/L
Claude Bourque, RCAF Officer
Commanding of the NATO course
only a small fraction of one
per cent of the total enrolment
have failed to pass the standard
Canadian tests.
During the year the European
boys were visited by Lt.-Col. B.

Norway, and General Charles

of France. Next week as Group

You can bet Jimmie was on hand when the first Imperial drilling crew-
turned up at the farm gate. And he’s been an untiring fence post
superintendent ever since. But that’s not all—in his short lifetime he’s
lived enough years to see the growth of a new major industry.
Less than five years ago Canada’s oil producing industry was far from
robust. Our oil fields were dwindling and produced only one barrel in
every 10 we used.
Today only eight countries in the world are known to have larger oil
reserves than Canada. And production this year is expected to meet
about one-third of our needs.
Every barrel of this "home grown’* crude lessens our dependence on
other countries and brings us a step closer to self-sufficiency in oil.
With oil increasingly important to our daily life in peace or war, any
improvement in security of supply means new security for Jimmie and
for all of,us.
Canada’s newest major industry gives promise of becoming one of her
greatest.
About Canada’s Oil—
Last year Canada’s oil industry stepped up its production of crude
oil to more than a billion gallons, an increase of 39 per cent, above
1949.
Imperial drilled more than 400
developing oil fields in Albert.
Canadians are using almost twice
years ago.
