city: "Right back home in good
old Ontario!" We should like
to echo that sentiment ... The

It is the, "intention of Int -
penial Oil Limited to conduct a
geophysical survey of the en-
tire area under lease in this
district, and get in some mag-
netometer work next year, The
NEWS -RECORD • is reliably in-
formed by a high official of
that company.
"We are extending. our leasing
operations in the area in a very
substantial ways . and in due.
course, we expect to be able to
make geophysical studies of the
terrain, with a view to making
some test drilling," this official
declared in an interview.
Part of Big Programme
The spokesmen stated that the
leasing of many thousands of
acres that has been going on in
Huron County for the. past six
weeks, is only part of a general
programme, covering southwest-
ern Ontario.
Although nothing official was
given it is understood that prop-
erties underlease in this general
area approximate 500,000 acres
at the present time and the op-
eration is not yet complete.
Geophysical Study
The next step, according to the
official, is the. organization of a
detailed geophysical study of the
areas that "look good to us."
There .has ' been some aerial
photography.
"We expect, by next year,
probably to get in geophysical
crews to do magnetometer work
in 1952," the official said. "There
likely will be no drilling this
year, and maybe not next year."
The Magnetometer
Asked about the use of the
magnetos ter,lthe spokesman ex-
plained that 3t' gives "a rough.
idea where to look for oil. The
instrument measures the pull of
the earth and in this manner,
places where•the oil is trapped
below the surface may be in-
dicated."
Magnetometer operations now
are under way farther south than
Huron County,- according to the
official.

An interesting visitor in the
village this week was Miss
Mabel Crout, J.P•, London, Eng-
land. As a J.P, Miss Crout has
tried juvenile cases in the court
in London. At present she rep-
resents the East Division of the
Borough of Woolwich on the
London County Council and is a
member of the Health and Wel-
fare Committees of the L.C.C.
When one considers that the
representatives of the 28 bor-
oughs of the metropolitan area of
Greater London are responsible
to eight million people, one real-
izes that the position .entails , a
tremendous amount of work. But
Miss Crout enjoys it 'and espec-
ially the work amongst delin-
quent children.
In 1946-37 she was Mayor of
the Woolwoch Borough Council
and before her retirement last
year she was political agent for
