her Fine of $20 and costs 'for care-
less driving.
Mies 'McIntyre, 1 au of R.R. 5,
C tderie!a, was Charged after a
€oderi.ch police oI ser observed
her driving a pickup truth with
three passengers in the seat ,be-
sides herself.
In police court here last week,
she 'pleaded guilty. She explained
to the magistrate that three friends
]road asked her to drive ahem home.
In view of this explanation, the
magistrate suggested it would be
only fair for her friends to help
pay her fine.
Police Chief F. M. Hall stated
that the girl had been checked
while driving at 1.35 a.m. on Janu-
ary 20. The truelt was registered
in the name of a Bean whose driv-
ing license was under suspension,
the thief added.

Murray Styles, who is serving
out a sentence received in London,
was sentenced to one day in jail
when he was brought to Goderich
court to answer two charges of
' false pretences.
On February 6, 1956, Wiles had
pleaded guilty in Wingham court
to obtaining a $170 ring from W.
R. Hamilton under false pretences.
Sentence was not handed down
that day. Before the magistrate
was really to sentence the ac•carsed,
he became involved in an uttering
case in London. He was sentenced
there to 12 months definite plus

"Does local option no -license de-
crease local drinking?"
-Yes, definitely! On the evidence
of many surveys it has been proved'
that the volume of drinking in any
given community is proportionate
to local sentiment in regard to
alcoholic beverages. Our authority
is Dr. E. M. Lellinik of the World
Health -Organization. -- ___
Very recently Dr. J. K. W. Fer-
guson,. Director of Connaught
medical research laboratories, de-
clared at a public meeting that
prohibition was the only public act
in modern times which did much to
reduce alcoholism. He added, "It
seems that most of us don't want
to abolish the problem of alcohol-
ism. We would rather live with it.
At this stage of our history most
people are reluctant to look at °the
ONE NECESSARY CASUAL FAC-
TOR -access to alcohol."
Why have we in Huron County
by far the lowest incidence of al-
coholism? Surely it is due to the
fact that for many years we have
had the Canada Temperance Act!
This amounts to county wide pro-
hibition, for no liquor sale is legal
within our boundatries. We have
no beverage rooms—cocktail bars,
liquor stores or any " tither legal
liquor dispensing -centres.

t1UT ON A LIMB
WITH BOLL SIWPLEa'
A lot of men, referring to the
ancient custom of taking unto
themselves a 'W1fe, are .vont to
wax hard-boiled and cynical. "U
I had it to do over again you'd
never get me walking up that aisle.
osir, not me, boy! Once bitten,
tiwrice shy." And so on. This sort
of thing is usually spoken in their
wives' hearing, to the aeeosnpani-
ment of vast winks and heavy
nudges, by baldheaded old birds
who have lost their teeth and
couldn't get Grandma Moses to
walk down the aisle with them.
*
Anyway, I don't feel that way
at all. Every so often 1 wish I
could get married again. Don't get
me wrong now. I'd marry the same
dame. 1 couldn't stand another
ten years of learning that women
are about 120 per cent smarter
than men. Not with a new one,
anyway.
• * *
But when the Old Trouble and
Strife starts reading aloud the ac-
counts of some big, poshwedding,
I get this feeling that I'd like to
have another whack at the whole
business,. of getting spliced. Not
that our wedding didn't have a
certain simple dignity, with accent
on the simple, but it all went so
fast I didn't get a chance to enjoy
it.

You know how you sit in church
and wonder whether you can afford
to put in an oil furnace, while the
minister waxes eloquent on the
sins of man? Well, I wasn't think-
ing about an oil furnace, but I
certainly wasn't paying much at-
tention to the "love, honor and
cherish" business during our
nuptial ceremony.

"Holy old' jumpin," I thought,
"what .am I doing here with a
strange woman? This is insane.
I don't want to get married. I'm
only a boy." Fighting the impulse
to flee, I sneaked a look at the
bride. She wore that holy look
of vast assurance and calm that
descends on all brides the minute
they have you securely ensconced

still waiting for the way they wind
it up in the movies. You know,—
"I now pronounce you man and

When he said salute," I was baffled.
I thought he was saying it because
he kne V I'd been in the Air Force.
I just stood there looking stupid
for a minute, then collected my-
self, and was about to whip up
a snappy salute when the bride
took things into her own hands,
including my head, and kissed me
roundly and soundly.

You know, that still makes her
mad, every time she thinks of it.
It makes me mad, too. Why could-

told me to kiss the bride, instead

When Grace and the Prince were

thing out of the papers, making
remarks like: "The only thing
similar between their marriage and
ours is that there was a man and
a woman involved." I respond:
"I'll bet she wasn't a whit lovelier
than you on your wedding day,

TEN YEARS AGO THIS WEEK AN IMPERIAL DRILLING CREW 'DISCOVERED OIL NEAR LEDUC. ALBERTA,
THAT DISCOVERY HAS AFFECTED THE LIFE OF ALMOST EVERY CANADIAN
SINCE LEDUC.
In 1946, Canada's own oil
fields met only nine percent
of her demand. Today, they
produce about 70 percent
of a demand which has
increased by three times.
la 1946, Canada's proven
oil reserves were 72 million
barrels. Today, there are al-
most three billion barrels, a
40 -fold increase.
In 1946, there were just 435
miles of oil pipe line in all
Canada, Today, there are
more than 5,000 miles.
In 1946, there were half a
million oil -heated homes in
Canada. Today,, , there are
more than A million and a
• half, 40 percent of all the
homes in Canada.
The crew at Imperial Leduc No. 1 that
winter's day knew that very few wells drilled
in unproven territory find oil in commercial
quantities. This could be just another well in
a long series of failures ... 133 of them at a
cost of 823,000,000 ... which Impdrial had
drilled in western Canada.
When Imperial Leduc No. 1 "came in" on
February 13, 1947„rhe elated crew knew they
had fnade an important discovery. that they
couldn't' know was just how impoxtaiit their
discovery was, for Imperial Leduc No. 1
encouraged not only..Imperial but hundreds
of other companies to look for ... and to
find ... more oil in Canada.
What were the results?
IMPERIAL OIL
. A fast-growing oil producing industry, em-
ploying thousands.
. New refineries, and expansion of old ones,
. Birth of dozens of new industries.
. Large savings of foreign exchange that would
have been spent on oil imports.
• A surer supply of oil for Canada.
Nor has this development reached its peak.,
Though about four billion dollars have
ready been invested in finding and developin, J
Canadian oil, everts . predict another 2
billion will be spent during the next 25 years,
bringing us still more industries, more jobs,
and, of course, more oil.
