Uh Merrie hammer NWMMWNWMMHWBMMM nauseous Flinn mflYfl moms Guidance For Education Into Age Of Automation In recent article entitled AntoniaV tionWiil Remoid Dur hives Brown oski states For the new machines do notmcrely replace the brute power of the muscle machines have been doing that for nearly 200 years ever since the first water wheel and then the steam en gine were brought into the factory The new machines are beginning to re place gift which is neator and more specifically human the ability of the eye to measure or the hand to adlust or the brain to compare and choose the spectre of Automation points its long shadow lat mans intellect The most common species in the fac tory today is the man who works or tends simple machine the operator éy the year 2000 AD he will be as ex tinct as the handloom weaver and the dado The repetitive tasks will be taken over by the machines as the heavy tasks hove been taken over long ago and men tal wallmum refine way ofphysical exhaustion Automatic machines will make it pos sible for few men to take complex product such asks drug or an engine through all the smges of its manufac ture We must turn men who do our repetitivecworlr into men with in vldual skills We can steer our society only if we combine general knowledge of where we are boundt0 go withh specific will of where we want to go And it lsrelov ant to recall that another word for the control of automatic machines mday is the word Cybernetics and that it is Greek word for the art of steering ship Education will certainly need the guliding handof forwardthinking men and women as our society advances grad ually into this new age of automation and atomic power plants Remember this fact as We move into Education wesk Curiosity Saves Lives Its not only what you do yourself but what the other fellow is going to do Thats very true statement in driving Prylhg curiosity into the affairs of neigh hours is bad manners Yet it is strongly recommended by the Ontario Bofety Lea gue to drivers Be downright inquisi tive in traffic Cultivated curiosity about everything thats going on Everything thats going on or stopping Especially stopping ry to find out if when why and where other drivers are going to stop JAsk yourself whyvthe man in the pass inglane is slowing down is he turning left or is he waiting for an unseen ped estrian Speculate about the ball that

and municipal governments with an interest in seeing ihefullest possible de velopment of the Lakchead ports and the west ern Canadian trade through the St Lawrence Saawsy have at last nailed to speak with single CE Formation of the Canadian Lakehead Port Association is to be welcome especially since it includes Ontario as well as the Lakehead cit vies and prairie provinces Premier Frosts promise of wholehearied sup port ior the Lakehead secretariat should great lly strengthen the effort to bring maximum amount of Seaway shipping to Fort William and Port Arthur It is interesting to note that the development of the Lakehead porLa and maximum benefit lih the west from the Seaway which are the objec tives of the new secretariat have been subjects of concern to the Manitoba government almost since Seaway construction began ed at the curb with the engine running is the driver keeping warm or is he about move Give thought to the tires of the car you are following at 00 mphwhat happens to you if one of them blows out Weigh the possibility that the Highways Department put down those double white lines ahead because the curve is danger ousand not Just because they like to use up paint Use imagination and pat iencemot the gas pedalto find out why the driver ahead is braking sharply when the road is apparently clear curiosity may have killed the eat but it has saved lot of drivers Make every bodys business your business when the business is moving in traffic healthy curiosity on the road sometimes avoids very unhealthy crash apers Under tlieformer Liberal government and now under the Conservative administration Manitoba has taken the initiative in warning the Lakebead and other provinces that there was danger of missing the benefits of the Seaway It is too bad that united action could not be achieved before the last minute the year the Seaway is due to open it evidently took the $100000000 port development at Iluluih to bring full awareness of the situation in which the Lake besd might find itself Tbe importance of united action was sharply underlined at the recent meeting which set up ed the secretariat by the report of joint study of ihe Seaway by the Canadian Wheat Board and the Grain Shippers and Exporters Association Inadequacy of port facilities lack of essential services for tramp steamers and the need for improvement in grain handlnig points on the St Lawrence River were some of the problem which could hinder grain shipment according in the report It looks as though the Lakehead Port As sociation willhsve plenty to do OTTINWBBEPURT

omivon Well Is An ExpensiVe Business CALGARY CP So you want to drill your own oil well The Standard 011 Company of California and the National Sup ply Company Limitcd had some discouraging statistics this week fotanybody contemplating going into the all business its an ex pensive proposition Thefigures dealt with typical oil well close to populated area that was drilled to depth of 10 000 feet As starter the survey suggested the following would be needed Seven hundred and twentysix tons of steel as trucks ranging from tandem tractor to light pickup three cranes road grader few house trailers and in men whose occupations range from lawyer to truck driver ONE IN ELEVEN Total cost could range from 3600000 to $2000000 and dlllllng could continue for two years And the catch the survey ad Only one well in 11 produces The study gives detailed an alysis of how tbs material equip ment and manpower would be The steel provides isotoot derrick or mast including sub structureihree engines and torque converters and three slush pumps 10000 feet of Alliinch drill rgipepplus jointspcollars and cos ES Should the well be producer another 80 tons of steel tubing must be lowered into the well to carry the oil flow SEVEN RAUL PIPE About seven of the trudrs are tractortrailer lmiis to haul in the pipe Another seven trailer units bring in equipment for the der rick and buildings No tank trucks insulin cement and about seven are needed for seisrno graph electric logging and per foratlng services equipment The remaining trucks are needed to supply the well site in catlng crew and the road clear Ing crew The labor force includes lend men and lawyers to acquire drill ingand minerals righls for the operation once the reconnais sance crews and geologists have recommdcda site surveyors transit man engineers equipment operators road builders gang pushera and their helpers MUST HIRE MEN Once the equipment for the rig arrives on location about six riggcrs four crane operators and arlgup man and bls assistant are required With the rig up 14 Canadian Industrialists rotary helpers six derrick men six welders carpenters electri cllns and mechanics five driller and drilling foreman must be hired In the course of drilling the well these materials will probably be needed 4050 bags of cement 1000 feet of manila rope7500 feet of drill cable 000 tons of drilling mud i00 tons of bentonite 150 tons of barytes five reamere five core head bits 10 hard rock bits 150 drums of emulsified oil various tools for recovering broken bits and 40000 barrels of water Should the well blow in it would probably produce about 500 barrels of crude day At an average price of $50 bar rel the return would be $1250 day Few wells therefore pay for themselves until after year of operation igniting

sharply over the head with anon aggression pact The widespread dismay with which Kbrushcbevs Kremlin ad dress was greeted by Western observers while theunsuspecling Macmillan toured Russian atomic
