Plenty of fuel but'It's Costly Bill Mullen, Ointario Manager of the Consumer Division of Imperial Oil was on hand at a recent meeting of the Bowmanville Rotary Club to tel about Canada's prospects for self-sufficiency in petroleum in the future.' "If we can get it al together in terms of technology, money and time, Canada should have enough fossil fuel reserves for 300 years." H1e emphasized very strongly that this potential supply is not a resource we can draw on immediately -- in thenext 10 years aloneit is estimated that the cost of finding and developing *new sources of petroleum will be $50 billion. Letter fo 2lHermitage Roac Saughall, Chesbire Englani November 15, 197 Dear Editor and "Statesman' Staff friends: Would it be possible ti publisb the following letter ii the "Statesman" tbus enabl ling my wife and me to keep ii toucb, not only witb you folk but witb tbe many old neigh bors and aquaintances in tb( town and locality, I stil cherisb as borne?

We ourselves bave>invested in several used articles adver- tised in the above papers, but our purchases for thýe most part went over 10 pounds sterling and included a lawn mower, a washing machine and spin dryer, a single bed and a china cabinet, and a srnall reed organ of tbe saine make as most of the best known harmonicas, or "moutb organs". Speaking of organs, we made a most interesting discovery. At Saugball Meth- odist Cburcb, the singing is led with the music of a reed organ and, yes, you bave guessed it, the organ is a "Dominion", right from Bownýanville. I experienced àreat pride as Igazed at tbe beautifully carved case of the old instru- ment, and reflected that the work was done by Bowman- ville craftsmen, possîbly aid- ed. by my old. foreman at "Goodyear", the late Frank Bottreli. A farrn lady at the top of the village is the Metbodist organ- ist, and here again, mernory takes me back to tbe late Mrs. Richard Brown. mv foster mother, wbo for 40 years was organist at the then Orono Metbodist Cburch>, while the organ tbere, too was "Domin- ion." The past few months bave been eventful ones for us, inasmuch as tbey have brougbt us visitors in tbe f ersons of ýold Bowmanville iriends, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Woolley were with us for parts of their Englisb visit in May and June. I n Sept. Mr. and Mrs. Dave Park were here,, and in Oct. Mrs. Harry Hughes and two daughters, favored us with a visit.* These three ladies bad hired a car and had travelled 3,000 miles in Eng- land. Wales and Scotland. Then, we bad tbe, lovely outing witb the 'Creighton- Allen" group which was spoken of in the "Statesman".

We had suci fellwship witb ahl of the Bowmanville members, and weeks later, were deeply saddened to learn of the untimely passing of Mr-s. Lee, wbo bad been the roommfate and' travelling companion of Mrs. Bernice Cole. May we include a word of condolence for all to wbom Mrs. Lee bad meant 50 mucb, as well as to again tbank Mrs. Coleand Mr. and Mrs. Allen for their kindness and generosity. Our place bere is close to the Welsb border and there is a certain clannish attribute about some of the Welsb whicb is borne out in an incident whicb Walter Woolley sbared witb me. We bad walked down into Wales, Walter and I, and arrived at a lovely little stone cburcb building just at the close of "Morning Prayer" on Sunday. We stopped in to view the cburcb, and to talk to the Vicar and bis communicants from nearby farms. "Are you acquainted witb the cleg an the lay readers at 1Al Saints' Church at Saugball", I asked. The little Welsb Vicar said he was not, then upon reflection, be observed, "Sauehali, you said Saug- bail.' "Y es", I repîieâ. "Then suaid agis and foreign", e sad wih afinality whicb almost convinced me that we indeed were foreign. Our other large towns witbin esdistance are Liverpool anY Manchester. Yesterdlay, Winnie and I went by train into Manchester. I quite enjoyed the experience. W e marvel at the crowds in sucb, place as Chester, Liverpool and Man- chester. Wbere do all the people corne frorn, is a Vuestion I frequently ask Winnie. Moreover, we do g et some happy outings righ t from Saughall with the "Golden Links" whose tours feature the seaside rather than thc big towns. Winnie and I stili go on a Sunday evening to "'Shot- wick House", a buge old farnily mansi on and grounds now devoted to its use as a borne for the elderly. I sing at their Vesper Service and sometimes play the harmoni- ca. Tbe current postal strike in Canada bas dried up news frorn tbere for tbe time being However, one day last week. an October "Goodyear Wing- foot Clan" arrived. It carne at considerable airmail postage cost by way of United States postal service. Wben bopefully tbe Canadian service re- sumes, tbere will be sorne catching up in our reading. May we congratulate you upon tbe fine Journalis tic ability exhibited b y your staff members. The "write Up" and p ictures about tbe "Vanstone Mill" are particularly fine. Seeing tbe mill as pictured in its frontal entirely made me feel bornesick.,Do you wonder at it after my baving passed tbe rnill hundreds of times during, my years at Goodyear and aso during rny residence on Coleman St.? We bad a letter recently from Keitb Milis, Winnie 's g randson, wbo is in the Merchant Navy, and is at p resent in the " Persian Gulf". Keith is a fine Christian young man. His sister Susan, bopes to becorne a missionary doctor wbile yuung Catherine, rnay aspire to be a children's gIoverness. Catherine loves cbildren and anirnals. or it could be animals and children. Who knows? At 12 years of age, probably Cathe- rine doesnot know but time will undoubtedly tell. Last Saturday, Derek Milîs and I went to lend a band as some younge wornen fromn Chester College 'moved bouse." These folk are mern- bers of "Tbe Cburcb of the Way", a cbarisrnatic move- ment whicb Winnie and I bave been attending in cornpany with the Milîs family. ? arn sure tbis is an environent in wbicb a man like Rev. Wes Oake would not be unhappy. We bave some great cbaract- ers in the rnembersbip. There are professional people, in- cluding teachers, and the youngsters from tbe College are an inspiration. Following last Saturday's move, tbere was a "bee" at the bouse cleaning, painting, Sden tidingan so on. apes are madte of eacb Sund1a y's services and a service is beld in the evening as well as morning.
