And officials in many countries can be expected to fol- low the progress elenelY as con- centrated efforts age made to ex- tract crude oil. Located in northeastern. Alberti; for more than 100 miles along the Athabasca River and its Winder - les,, the famous sands long have been generally regarded as the world:s largest untapped -petroleum reserve. In the past they have al - say been referred to as the MCIVIur- ray or Athabasca tar sands.. ExceedinglY conservative Cana- dian Government officials have es- timated that the petroleunasatnrat- ed sands could yield more than 100 billion barrels of crude oil; United States Government and oil indus- try officials have placed their esti- mates at between 250 and 300 bil- ion barrels. Surveys have disclosed that the sands, dark brown or black in col- or, cover about 30,000 square miles and petroleum engineers agree that some sections of the vast deposits contain 200 million barrels of bitu- men a square mile: The bitumen content of large areas is placed. at 100 million barrels a square mile. In a series of outcrops along the Athabasca River and its tributar- es, the exposures of the oil -saturat- ed sands vary from those of a few feet where small breaks in the overburden disclose the sands to the cliffs of over 200 feet that ap- pear at places along the river banks. Drilling tests many miles from the rivers have disclosed the beds of sands to be more than 100 'eet thick. While the presence of the fan- tastic petroleum reserve has been known for many decades, its de- velopment had been discouraged by the extremelysticky nature of the sands and -their bitumen, the vis- cosity of the mineral aggregate and bitumen usually defeating man's at- tempts to separate them. -For generations many northern Indians used the stick sand for re- pairing their canoes. 'White settlers moving into the Canadian West and earning of the "tar sands" enter- tained hopes of using the deposits for building asphalt -covered high- ways, but they were discouraged as the raw material was so remotely situated—about 250 miles north- east of 'Edmonton, Alberta. The oil industry and the 'Cana- dian and Alberta governments, however, steadfastly maintained that the day would, come when re- covery of crude oil from the sands would be 'not only feasible but also that it would be economically pos- sible. And to hasten that day along they invested large sums on research, most of the money going nto the operation 'of a pilot pro- cessing plant established . at Bitu- mont on the east thank of the Atha- basca. River by the Canadian Gov- ernment and then taken over by the Alberta government. Largely because of the successful results produced by research at the bituminous sands and in pro- cessing shale deposits in other countries, the general feeling in petroleum circles now is that re- searchers may have found the key to unlock the tricky problems which had been defying efforts to extract bitumen from the sands and then process this into crude oil. And the confidence now is being reflectedln the plans of a Swedish shale Oil company and several Can- adian and United States petroleum firms. By paying fees. and deposit - ng more than $400,000 for reserva- tion rights on 400,000 acres of the oil -soaked sands, they have obtain- ed authority to undertake the first major attempt to extract petroleum from the deposits and now are mov- 'ng equipment into norther reg - 'ons. The Swedish Shale Oil Company has arranged .to lease part of the Alberta government's pilot plant at Bituniont and this summer plans to introduce a revolutionary method of -extracting petroleum from the sands. Its method involve's extract- ing oil from .the sands right in the ground without excavating or min- ing them. It has used the process successfully on oil shale deposits in Sweden. 'Because the bituminous sands dif- fer greatly from the shale deposits processed in Sweden, the method will require considerable modifica- tion to meet the requirements of the northeastern Alberta sands. However, Hans Lundberg and Dr. Gosta SalOmonsson, who represent- ed the Swedish company in negoti- ations with the Alberta government have expressed confidence that ex- periments would develop a new oil extracting process which would be successful. Generally speaking, the Swedish company will attempt to extract oil from the sands by a heating pro- cess used on oil shale deposits in Sweden. It involves included com- bustion of the oil sands uhder the ground by means of charges of electricity through electrodes sunk into the earth. The resulting com- bustion is intended to ,distill the petroleum and remove it from around the sand particles to which' it clings.

The following address was read by Miss Marjorie Roe: Dear Erma: We are so glad that you and Dyke will soon 'be man and wife. 'We know that you will always try to make the best of life, so we, your friends, are gathered here, to wish you lots of health, not forgetting happiness, and a goodly share of wealth. Now, always be sure your cake is fluffy and light, the taters and meat cooked just right; and if the cake should tall, be ready with a smile, for that is best of all. And when trouble comes, as they some- times do, you stick to him. and he will 'stick to you. 'May you build your home on faith and love, and live ire peace like turtle doves. So please accept these little gifts, for each of them will do, to symbolize the friendship we all feel for you. Signed on behalf of your- Friends. Shirley Henderson, Mary Ellen Rintoul, Joyce Armstrong and Ileen Williamson brought in the gifts in a prettily decorated basket. Mrs. George Pethick and Miss Delores Dale helped to unwrap the gifts, after which Erma expressed her thanks. they wear the most colorful cos- tumes in Canada and are mighty proud of them. It's right in us and no mistake. — If it's important, we just natural- ly like to dress the part. Who could be more important Than those fifty youngsters in the kindergarten? Who more important than those boys and girls stepping out front the High Scheel into a broader world?

The meeting opened with the theme song. Hymn 356 was sung, "Take ,My Life and Let It Be," and Psalm 745 was read' 'responsively. Mrs. Pitt read thoughts on. the les- son, followed by a prayer. Rachel Johnston read the minutes of the last meeting in the abseace of Mrs. J. Aldington, and Mrs. Bob Taylor seconded. Roll call for the next meeting is to be answered with a suggestion on, "Where will we go on our next bus trip?" It was moved and seconded that the bak- ing sale he held at Bayfield in the afternoon of July 11, and August 16 in the Town Hall. Mrs. John Mc - Ash is to look after the making of posters for the sale. It was decid- ed to have a W.A. picnic at the next meeting, July 23, and to ask the men and children. Supper will be at seven. Discussion followed about a sacred concert, and was left to the entertainment commit- tee. Mrs. Pitt, Mrs. Ed. Foster and rights have been obtained on 50,- 000 acres of the sands by each of eight parties, these being the five Canadian companies of Calvan Con- solidated Oil and Gas Corporation, Asher Oil Company, Pacific Petro- leum Limited, New Contibental Oil of Canada,. and Charter Oils; the Sun Oil Company and Socony' Va- cuum Oil Company from ,the Unit- ed States, and Edward 'Gilbert, man- ager of Sun Oil's land department in Calgary, Alta. Leases were granted to each by the Alberta. government after each had paid a fee of $250 and deposit- ed $50,000 with the province. They may operate in the bituminous sands area so long as they keep the Alberta government advised on their progress. Rentals for the first year are set at five cents an acre, at 10 cents an acre for the second year, and at 26 cents an acre for the third year. Work must be carried out according to a governmera-approv- ed-plan. When exploratory work is com- pleted, the company in each ease may lease acreage which the prov- ince agrees is sufficient to keep a processing plant operating for a i)eriod of 20 years.' Then the ren- tal becomes $1 an acre a year, with the royalty to the province to be set at up 10 per cent for the first term of 20 years. Attempts in the past at process- ing the sands have been limited largely to extracting the petroleum with various hat and cold -water treatments after mining the raw material, and this has posed min- ing loading problems because ,of' the stickiness ofthe sands.
