Mothers' .Day observed more than thirty ’ years, and Mothers’ Day brings tender greetings ,and lavish tributes to motherhood, but every day brings to mothers, responsibilities, which accepted or ignored, shape the future of their offspring, "I owe to my angel mother all that I am or hope to be", so said Abraham Lincoln, is one of .the most memorable tributes ever paid to any woman. It is mother, in­ deed, who deserves the praise, the thanks, the kindly tribute for all the tenderness, compan­ ionship and loving care she has showered on each and every son and daughter. Just remember the times mother has "come through" for you when you were small enough to hide behind the bulwark of her skirts, when you first went t0 her for advise that showed the wisdom of her years, when she deprived herself of some­ thing to give you your young heart's desire.. So remember mother this year on her day, May .11, in some special way that says she’s the best mom in the world, that you are glad She’s your mother. Remember her- little time—yet means An ounce of mother is pi-nt of clergy. Traditional . gift on Day has always been Perhaps that is because to phone the florist for roses, or a plant, It is way to express a sentiment, but take real thought in the selection of your gifts, give a little of yourself in the 'arrangement of the room or parlor. It's one of the enigmas of the household that ,on any special occasion, even Mothers' Day, the , family enjoys the comfort of the living room while mother stays in the kitchen preparing the dinner. It would .be a pleasant idea to make mothers’ "kitchen duty” a little brighter .by adding color in the form of flowers, pretty gard- eniers in pastel tones to with -it . takes so so much, worth a any color scheme. 4- SWEET CAPORAL CIGARETTES Loose Valuables Invite Trouble People can save money and avoid unnecessary risk by re­ membering two facts, states Jim Hendry, local Bank of Montreal manager. -One is the postwar increase in crime.

On motion of Heaver Swartz the meeting was ad­ journed to meet again on Tues­ day, May 3, at 1 p.m, and I The fixture lies at the point of the drill The names of Canada's new oil-fields have been heard from coast to coast . . . Leduc, Woodbend, Redwater. They are fields discovered in the greatest search for oil in Canada's history. Already they have brought benefits to all Canadians; and in the west where they are turning back the tide of expensive imports the direct savings are counted in millions. But before the fullest benefits can reach everyone even more oil must be found. The successes of the past two years have been possible because there •were people willing to go on risking millions in the search in spite ot repeated disappointments. Now, after the barren years that went before, these new fields seem large _and they are large! But they are far from enough to make Canada self-sufficient. Canada is still dependent on foreign countries for more than 80 per cent of her oil and so her own resources must be developed. Exploration must be continued. More and more wells must be drilled so that markets can be expanded. There is not yet enough oil to justify the big investments that will be needed if all Canadians are to enjoy the fullest benefits of western resources. Pipe lines, for instance, dost a lot to build; but over the years they provide low-cost transportation —so necessary to reach out to wider markets. The Edmonton-Regina line planned by Imperial is but a beginning. Further discoveries are the only means of breaking through the distance barriers that hem prairie oil with transportation costs. The future lies at the point of the drill. If you’re interested in facts While it is now estimated the known oil in Alberta is roughly equal to our needs for the next five years, actually this oil could not be produced efficiently in less than 20 years. To meet her present oil requirements it has been estimated Canada needs reserves of several billion barrels. Imperial’s 450-miI© pipe line from Edmonton to Regina is expected to be in operation by the end of next year. Cost is ©sumated at between $35 and $40 million. It is a step towards wider markets.
