Father and Son, Banquet A pleasant and profitable eve­ ning was enjoyed in the Evan- gelical-U.B. Sunday school rooms on Friday evening of last week, when 138 guests sat down and partook, of the Father and Son Banquet, convened by members of the W.S.W.S. Following the sumptuous meal a very interesting program w'as enjoyed with Rev. J. V. Dahms Describes Leduc Oil Fields! Mr. C. W. Christie, of town, is in receipt of a letter from his son, J. A. Christie, of Regina, insurance adjuster for the Pro­ vince of Saskatchewan, in which lie describes a visit to the Leduc oil fields. He writes: “Our hosts in Ed­ monton drove up out to the Le­ duc oil fields. There are now over a hundred producing oil wells within a radius of two or three miles of Devon, This is -a new townsite on the bank of the north Saskatchewan River about twenty-five miles south-west of Edmonton, it reminds one some­ what of .building a new airport. There are workshops, garages and administration buildings. There is a powerhouse, fire sta­ tion, etc. They have new paved streets with sidewalks and fire hydrants. Houses are modern and permanent types (frame or stucco). In the administration building we were introduced to the super­ intendent of well drilling opera­ tions. On a big wall map he showed up the coloured pins marking each operation. Red ones were scarce, but these were ‘dry holes’ where only water came up. These mark the edge of the oil field and they stop drilling holes in that direction. The deepest wells are marked with black pins. These are drilled through three successive I rock formations, all different. | They may strike oil in a poc­ ket in .or under ’any of these levels. All the pockets at .one level are apparently intercon­ nected and have about the same pressure. However, sometimes a well near the edge or near a good well hasn’t pressure enough to force the oil to the surface and pumps are used. These were marked with white pins but there weren’t many. Pins of other colors were used to mark wells where flow was satisfactory from shallower lev­ els. The big No. 3 well which went wild and caught afire re­ duced the pressure.of oil wells at all levels in this field. We visited the crater of No. 3 well. Only a rim of black! earth remains. The hundred foot tall derrick and drilling equip­ ment went down the hole. The steam boilers which supplied power to it remain outside the crater. The acres of surrounding oil have been pumped into ‘ trucks and hauled away. The' sludge in pools is being burned | where it is. Oil puddles still lie in the roadside ditches over half a mile away. We parked our cars on a road beside a well about twenty rods west of No. 3 crater. In the ditch beside us was a hole big enough to hold an office desk. In the bottom what looked like ordinary motor oil was bubbling like water in a spring. We were not allowed to walk any nearer the crater be­ cause oil is still thought to be bubbling near the surface and new holes like the one we saw are still breaking through. “From the well beside our cars and another about twenty rods south of the crater, long seven-inch pipes had been run at a slant to connect thousands or feet below ground with the wild well. Down these shafts was poured a* soupy mixture of nearly any waste obtainable— cement, broken plaster-board, ground rags or jute, cotton waste, even truck loads of fea­ thers. While we were there they were still pouring something down the south pipe shaft. There was a huge stack of bran sacks but I -didn’t know what was in them, We could see the derricks of some of the six Co­ op wells but did not visit any of them. The superintendent we met said there were enough wells at Leduc now to fill the needs of the prairie provinces. However, he expects to keep on sticking pins in his map until he has a ring of red ones all around his oil field and inside : the ring studded with other co­ lours.” INSURANCE AUTOMOBILE Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Co. “World’s Greatest Automobile Mutual” FIRE Mill Owner’s Mutual Fire Insurance Cm CASUALTY Massie and Renwick Ltd.

UEFB By centralizing buying and transportation, in­ cluding delivery at des­ tination, substantial savings Can be effected. The scattered efforts of many can be channelled into an efficient single stream of relief, without a loss of individuality as to persons, groups or organizations. MORE AID PER DOLLAR For example: the cost of placing a ready packaged 10 lb. parcel in the hands of a recipient in Britain, exclusive of content pur­ chase price, is approxi­ mately $2.50 at present, whereas through UEFB concessions the compar­ able cost would be 57c to 79c. This economy does not include the very substantial saving which bulk purchasing effects. The gallant people of Britain are suffering today because they are determined to win the cold war. They are the only nation in Europe fighting with body and mina to vanquish the spectre that haunts the Old World. Their health is being weak­ ened, their efficiency impaired, by the tremendous restrictions they have imposed upon them­ selves. They stand in danger of being defeated by undernour­ ishment. Why? Because Britain imports four-fifths less goods than before the war, yet exports more than half as much again as in 1939, Says the British Ministry of Food: UEFB offers the best means of making your aid to Britain effective now. \ UEFB is a voluntary organiza­ tion set up to collect, forward ' and distribute aid to the under­ nourished people of Britain. UEFB purchases supplies in bulk. / The British Government sup­ plies free transportation. The UEFB British Advisory Council assures that your dollars will buy / what is most needed for those who need it the most. Although UEFB cannot at present handle used clothing, arrangements are being made to do so early next year. ef. . . we are living on marginal nutritional standards, and there is cause Jor anxiety lest this should be having adverse effects on physique and health . . . Everything you can send us is wanted and urgently wanted. ” i If the British people go under, YOU and all of us, will feel the effects. We need a strong Britain to help fight the cold war.
