PROGRESS WELL
WITH OIL LEASES
(Lucknow Sentinel)
The work of leasing a large acre
age of farm land in Kinloss Town
ship, with a view to drilling for oil,
is progressing well, so reports Mr. W.
I. Patterson.
Associates of Mr. Paterson are tak
ing up the leases in the Township and
the latter part of the week contracts
had been entered into covering up
wards to four thousand acres.
Lands being leased are chiefly be
tween tHe 6th and 10th Concessions,
and east on the Gravel Road. Mr.
Paterson was over the ground on Fri
day making a survey of the area re
quired to be leased and determining
the location where a drilling rig will
in the near future, be placed to sink
a test well.
Mr. Paterson is not working on the
leases, as he is personally in charge
of oil drilling operations being con
ducted on the Allin Farm near Lon-,
desboro.
Last week they were down about
740 feet on this well, and with good
drilling conditions arid no set-backs
the necessary depth should be attain
ed within a couple of weeks, he said.
Drilling twelve hours a day on this
location, they go down about 30 feet
a day under favourable conditions.
Mr. Paterson’s calculations are that
oil will be struck there at somewhat
over 1100 feet.
LEGIONS ASKS FOR
OLD MAGAZINES
An appeal for magazines for distri

ter.
All possible assistance from the
public is urged,,by the Legidn which
announces that magazines may be
turned over to any Legion branch for
packing and shipment to C.L.W.S.
headquarters at Ottawa. Magazines
not more than two months old are
preferred.

Modern Cable Contains
Variety of Materials
The little strand of cable that con
veys the message of the world from
one distant point to another is of in
tricate design and few would suspect
the quantities of materials used in its
manufacture, according to the Canad
ian National Telegraphs whose cable
connections reach all parts of the
world. The constituent parts of an
Atlantic cable of 2,000 nautical miles
are as follows: Length of iron and
steel sheething wires, 66,446 statute
miles; weight of copper, 1,518,720 lbs.
or 678 long tons; weight of gutta
percha, 516 long tons; length of per
malloy tape 19,056 statute miles;
length of brass tape, 3,444 statute
miles; length of jute yarns, 306,400
statute miles; length of cotton tape,
64,600 statute miles. The cost of a
modern cable, taking the average pro
portion of the different types usually
employed, may be roughly estimated
at $2,000 per nautical mile. The total
cost of submerging is approximately
$150,000,

Offers To Care For Dependents
Canadian companies are giving gen
erous support to the struggle against
Hitlerism by assisting employees who
wish to enlist. Generous plans have
been formed to care for the depend
ents of men who enlist in any branch
of the services. A plan has just been
announced by Robin Hood Flour
Mills Limited, which makes it possible
for every qualified man to assist in
the country’s war effort without fin
ancial sacrifice. The general outline
is to give pay supplements and job
guarantees. For purpose of seniority,
the time spent in military service will
be considered as having been spent
in the company’s employ.
RESEARCH COUNCIL
LEADS SCIENTIFIC
EFFORT DU RUNG WAR
Born and conceived during the last
great war to compete against a scien
tifically highly-developed enemy pow
er, the National Research Council of
Canada was ready and equipped to
renew the struggle against the same
enemy at the start of the present con
flict.
Virtually overnight scientists of the
Research Council with a minimum of
apparent effort that suggested care
ful planning and preparedness, aban
doned their peacetime pursuits to
bend all efforts towards greater ef
ficiency in the war effort. In many
cases, however, peacetime activities,
were found to be closely related to
problems arising out of war.
Now well over S0% of the Council's
work is directly connected with the
war. Hundreds of projects, tests, ex- i
aminations and studies have been un- ’
deriakeh. Valuable assistance is rend1'
ered to the Department of Munitions I
and Supply in regards the equivalency |
of British and Canadian specifications, j
So that no valuable war invention :
would be pigeon-holed, a special in-1
ventions’ board was set up to examine
innumerable ideas and inventions,
which pour in upon the government at
the rate of about 300 per month.
In the mechanical engineering lab
oratories, with equipment for the
study of aeronautical and hydrody
namical problems, every war day is
crowded with new research. Wind
tunnels, engine testing apparatus,
model-testing basins for water crafts,
are used for scores of studies on fight
er aircraft, tests of fuel, plane engin
es, flying instruments, minesweepers,
corvettes and other craft of the Can
adian Navy.
A modern building to house aero
dynamics laboratories is being rush
ed to completion. Planned by the
Council when Majot General G. L.
MacNaughton was its president and
inspiration, this new laboratory, of
great importance in a war of aerial
combat, has. been espoused by Dean
C. J. Mackenzie, Acting President of
the Research Council, as a favourite
enterprise..
The physics division has retidered
particularly useful service through its
metrology section,- where a gauge
testing laboratory has been set up, A
