Oil supplies one-quarter of all the heat ahd power we use ... in home and factory, on farm and highway. It helps us live better. For years Canadians have had to depend on foreign countries for almost all the oil they used. Now, after a long and costly search, big new fields have been found in Alberta.♦ The more oil we produce right here in Canada the stronger we will be. Already the new discoveries have made thousands of new jobs. Millions of U.S. dollars once needed for imported oil are now being saved by the new oil fields, and the prairie consumers are saving money too. In order that Canadians may reap further benefits, Alberta oil must reach new markets. It must be moved to eastern Canada—2,000 miles away—where it must compete with, oil from other areas. That means holding transport costs down to a minimum. To bring Alberta oil east a tube of steel will span one-third of the continent—from Edmonton to Lake Superior. It is taking shape now. To carry the oil on to Ontario refineries, the largest inland tankers ever built are being constructed in Canadian yards. There's a big job still to be done before the full benefits of the new oil discoveries reach all Canadians. But the job is being carried on with increasing benefit to all of us. Oil is strengthening the nation., Bringing you oil is a ,.. and a costly one
