In the language of the oil fields, "roughnecks" are the men of the drilling crews who probe deep in the earth for oil. You'll find them in any oil field doing the hard tedious work that goes into the drilling of every well. But roughnecks like it best when the going is toughest and most exciting—when they move on to search for oil where it has never been found, In Alberta the odds are against them, only one wildcat well in 20 is likely to be successful. Working against these odds, roughnecks' drills have tapped more than a billion barrels of slew oil in Alberta since 1947, bringing new prosperity and new security to all Canada. In fact Canadians now produce one in every three barrels they use—but we still must depend on foreign countries for the other two. To be self-sufficient we must have three times our present reserves, . The roughnecks keep moving on in the unending search for oil. As they succeed they benefit and strengthen the entire nation. About Canada's Oil Before discovering the Leduc field in 1947, Imperial drilled 133 expIora: tory wells in western Canada—all dry—over a period of almost 30 years. The cost of an exploratory well varies from about $100,000 to more than $1 million. It is estimated the oil industry will spend $200 millions on exploration and development in the prairies this year.

Three of the doctors taking part in the program are on fellowships from the Canadian Arthritis and Etheetnatism Society. This is the sort of work for which the Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism Society is appropriating $172,000 this year-- partly in research projects and partly to train doctors in modern treatment and diagnosis of arthritis and the other rheumatic diseases. The special ward at Sunnybrook has ten beds allotted for special in- vestigation into diseases about which little is known, It is set apart from the rest of the hospital, To simplify minute measuring pro- blems, patients have to eat the same previously measured meals every day, for as long as the particular study lasts. Because of the possibility of their being "fed up" with one food, they are permitted to choose their favorites at the beginning, Steak stands high on the list and so do , peaches, pears and raspberries, Ice cream has not yet been requested but it would not be allowed because of ; the iimppossibility of analyzing it ex- actly, Miss Jean Barbour, dietitian, says' steak seems to be popular "because you can stand eating beef more than other meat like port, for example," One patient, however, did choose pork tenderloin because he had al- ways been so fond of it, But he found that after a 'week or so,,,-he Get Yoar Entry Blank fronrYour KIST DEALER TODAY! 4.

The steak is all part of one of science's newest tools in investigating disease---the metabolic unit—which is established to measure carefully ev- ery gram .0f food that, goes into patient ar/d every, gram of excreta that cam*, out' -Metabolism is the way the food' iS being used in the body and the comparison of intake and output is one way of measuring it. Four of the patients at present be- ing treated with steaks have arthrit- is. Doctors are using various drugs like ACTH and cortisone to determ- ine exactly what good these "mir- acle" hormones do under measured conditions. The metabolic unit is part of the research program of the Department of Veterans' Affairs established at Sunnybrook last October. It is the second unit of its kind in the world, the other being in Boston, Mass. Oth- ers have since been located at veter- , could hardly look at it. Luckily the particular survey was changed at that time. Miss Barbour says, those who order steaks go on eating it hap- pily after the diet is over, if they have a chance. A typical sample diet: Breakfast . . fruit juice, oatmeal, eggs, brown bread, skim milk. Lunch , , . 7 oz, tenderloin steak, potato, carrots, raspberries and tea, Dinner 7 oz, of tenderloin steak, potato, peas and prunes. Salt is given in solution in a small glass, so that it may be exactly measured, and drinking water is also carefully measured. For analyzing purposes, food is broken down into components of wat- er, protein, carbohydrates, fat and salt—sodium or potassium. Bread is bought unsalted in one batch and put in a deep freeze in exactly measured slices. their own occupational therapist. Not for them are the little trips down to the hospital snack bar or special treats like fruit or cookies brought in by a visitor. Nor for them either is the major interest in most hospital routines: "I wonder what we're hav- ing for dinner." The whole problem of the unit rests in the minutiae of the details of ev- ery phase of it, Special cooperation is needed 'from all the staff, includ- ing nurses who. make the checks, die- titians who make the food measure- ments and orderlies who look after the collection of excreta. As the doctor in charge of research for the Canadian Arthritis and Rheu- matism Society says: "One uncooper- ative orderly can throw months of work literally down the drain." Miss Barbour says her problems are vastly different from those of her fel- low dietitians, She deals individually in grams for each person's food, while the others weigh everything in tons, Doctors have found that arthritis can be turned on and off like a tap with the drugs ,ACTH and cortisone. They are still trying to find better drugs which do not cause the bad ef- fects of these hormones and whose benefits will last, Ordinarily, a normal person's out- put of nitrogen, for example, is some- what less than his intake. The re- mainder is used to help build up body cells and produce energy. Everything can be accounted for. Doctors have noted that when cort- isone is given to arthritis patients the nitrogen output is increased—in other words, it is not being properly untilized in the body, Giving the drug for a long period of time may there- fore be detrimental to the patient. Experiments are now Under way to see if this nitrogen deficit can be cor- rected by various dietary changes and drugs. One example of the work the unit does was a recent case of suspected bone tumor. It was found to be not a tumor at all but an upset of the parathyroid glands which lie behind the thyroid,. ;gland.
