NORM, CLigOO, Gerrie Ross MARTYN; moo OIL MAKES A COUNTRY STRONG WAS IVEMA3 IT ST T 11 You can bet Jimmie was on hand when the first Imperial drilling crew turned up at the farm gate. And he's been an untiring fence post superintendent ever since. But that's not all—in his short lifetime he's lived enough years to see the growth of a new major industry. Less than five years ago Canada's oil producing industry was far from robust. Our oil fields were dwindling and produced only one barrel in every 10 we used. Today only eight countries in the world are known to have larger oil reserves than Canada. And production this year is expected to meet about on&third of our needs. Every barrel of this "home grown" crude lessens our dependence on other countries and brings us a step closer to self-sufficiency in oil. With oil increasingly important to our daily life in peace or war, any improvement in security of supply means new security for Jimmie and for all of us. Canada's newest major industry gives promise of becoming one of her greatest. About Canada's Oil- Last year Canada's oil industry stepped up its production of crude oil to snore than a billion gallons, an increase of 39 1,,e ccrit, above 1949. Imperial drilled more than 400 wer.,, in 11.50. bcarching for and developing oil fields in Alberta, Canadians are using almost twice as HI h 'l 2-1 they did only five years ago. Oil now provides for one-quat tor oi total energy requirements. IMPIKIAL .OIL LIMITED PAGE ERiU' THE WINGFIAM ADVANCE-TIMES wpmEspAy, MAY 9th., 1951 Hamilton.
