CROW CONTROL during the spring provides hunting thrills for this lad, as well as being a good protective measure for the more useful forms of wildlife. During the off-season, more and more experienced hunters, too, find that shooting gophers, groundhogs, magpies and other pests as well as the wily crow helps to beep their eye "sharp” for the fall hunting season. C-I-L makes dependable ammunition for this popular sport. 9U you know?

From eggs, a hen can expect just one product—chicks. But from crude oil, Imperial refines 679 different products, ranging from weed killers to heavy asphalts. And that is not all— crude oil also supplies petroleum gases and other raw materials for plastics and synthetic rubber. Oil plays a large and growing part in our everyday living. How many, of these questions about it can you answer? Oil supplies are vital to defence. The gasoline required to move one armoured division 100 miles would run your car for 10 years? 95 years? 350 years? The average weekly pay cheque of Canadians in 1939 would buy 84 gallons of gasoline. How many gallons will today’s cheque buy 79? 135? 93? Scientists believe oil was formed from the remains of tiny sea creatures which lived millions of ^ears ago. Would you say oil is found in rock?swamps? How much will the oil industry­ spend each week this year to find and develop oil fields in western Canada $2% millions? $6 millions? $12 millions? ! It takes many millions of dollars in plant arid equipment to provide high- quality oil products when and where you need them. How much does this amount to per Imperial employee $3,856? $16,597? $30,715? » » » » » The average family car could be operated for 350 years on the gaso­ line needed to move an armoured division 100 miles. Even though gasoline road taxes are higher in all provinces, today's average pay cheque will buy 135 gallons. Oil is usually foundfar underground in the tiny pores of rock such as lime­ stone or sandstone. The word pet­ roleum is derived from the Latin "petra” and oleum"—rock oil. The industry is expected to spend $300 millions on exploration and development this year—about $6 millions a week. Imperials investment hi plant and equipment is $30,715 for each of its 13,500 employees, and it is still rising.
