WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1951 THE DAILY T IMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIFTEEN Stark Ruins, Waving Grain Mark War's Starting Point At the 38th Parallel on the West- ern Front, Korea--AP -- This is where the Korean war began. Here, in the Seoul -- Uljongbu - Chorwan corridor, Communist tanks rolled ie South Korea one year ago to- ay. . Three times, Communist armies have marced past this point into South Korea. Three times United Nations armies have pushed them back up north. Today, barbed wire is still in evidence along the parallel. Sand- bagged machine-gun positions still can be seen along a little piece of high ground overlooking the parallel, ; Allied trucks and jeeps kick up clouds of dust on the road down which the Red tanks came. Some are carrying supplies to the battle- front, ia North Korea. In a way, this is a pretty place. The hills on both sides of the corridor are green with vegeta- tion. Fields of grain, sown when the battlelines were farther away, are maturing in the valley. On the hills there are wild flowers. At the side of the road is a fresh- ly painted black-and yellow sign: "The war began here June 25, 1950 ~--38th Parallel-courtesy 1st Cav- alry Division." Here is the rubble of war. Two rusty Korean trucks -- you can't tell whether they are North or South Korean -- lie on their sides in a grain field. One has a shell hole ' through the cab. The frame of the other is twisted, The headquarters camp of an American tank company is locat- ed at the parallel. Just a little up the road there is a cluster of pup tents and half-shelters, where fresh U.N. troops are billeted be- fore being sent to the line. Com- bat veterans are processed here prior to going home. A mile or so up the road are the ruins of a North Korean town. The dwellings have been levelled by artillery and bombs. At the side of the road, an old Korean woman is drawing water from a well which has been left intact. Perhaps 10,000 North Koreans lived in the town before the war. The old woman is the only civilian you see there now. Off to the east, there is a little green valley, partially darkened by shadows from the afternoon sun. It looks peaceful and quiet in the valley. You could walk up there and be hundreds of miles from even the thought of war. Long 34 Year Pilgrimage Ends at Last Indian Head, Sask. (CP)-- Jour- ney's end has at last been achiev- ed by Mrs. Katie Heipler, who took 34 years to make the journey from Russia through Germany to the dominion. Mrs. Heipler with her husband and five children fled Russia in 1917 during the revolution. They intended then to make their way to Canada, but got only as far as Hamburg. In Germany life was unkind to Mrs. Heipler Her husband died there and her children are still there. With the Germans, she suf- fered all the havoc of the second world war, From 1943 on she lived with about 1000 other homeless fa- milies in a huge air-raid shelter That shelter, a six-storey steel and concrete structure, had no win- dows. Its inhabitants were without natural light or fresh air. Food was also a terrific prob- lem in Hamburg in those days. People lived on a near-starvation diet. Mrs. Heipler dropped from 2%, 270es to her present weight Redwater Grows At Fast Clip "It is better now" the great- grandmother exclaimed in Ukrain- fan. In the old days, my husband would not let me get the cows be- cause I would get lost in the woods. Now cars drive along the road"-- And the wrinkled face with the wide-set eyes, the face of "Babcia" Malowany, a brown oval in the yel- low headshawl, lighted up with smiles as she threw back her head and laughed, relates Imperial Oil Review. Mrs. Malowany was thinking back over 50 years. Back to the time when she came as a young mother with her people from the black soil region of the Ukraine, They took up homestédads in the uncleared bush land north of Edmonton be- cause they wanted wood and water --land that other settlers scorned. OIL IN 1948 : Decades of struggle, good crop years and bad, family and com- munity sorrows and successes fol- lowed. But the biggest changes came after the day in September, 1948, when oil was discovered be- neath the fields of Redwater. The unexpected liquid crop prought an array of portable oil rigs, tall and gaunt metal pyramids, wheeling into the wheatfields. They hegan to drill to more than half a mile beneath the surface. Der- ricks soon dotted the landscape for 15 miles along the meandering dried-out Redwater River, As the wells began torcome in at the rate of one a day, and the rigs moved on, strange new mechanisms appeared in the fields; the pipe- fitters' branching of valves known a. "Christmas trees" controling the flow, of oil from the wells, and the pump-jacks which stand at the well like big mechanical rocking horses, nodding slowly as they pump the oil up from the' reef below. Before the discovery--just about two and a half years ago--the hamlet of Redwater, Alberta, num- bered 160 persons if you included a few families living on farms close in. There were four general stores, two garages, three grain elevators, a tiny hotel and lunch counter, poolroom and smithy, and trains twice a week--but no street lights, no movie houses, drug stores, banks or fire department. Dusty, quiet little Redwater in the Smoky Lake municipality was the small centre of a vigorous farming com- munity populated mostly by the original Ukrainian settlers and their descendants with a few Anglo- Saxon, French [and German families. WELCOME CHANGE Soon it was all changed and great - grandmother Malowany laughed and was surprised and wel- comed it--roads through the coun- tryside where there had been one; movement and life in an awakened hamlet suddenly bcome a village and just recently a town, in pop- ulation swollen to 3,500 in two booming years. Oil rigs, tank cars, bulldozers, trailers, portable cab- ins and an army of workers and merchants came rolling into the once-quiet centre. These activities at Redwater were part of the greatest oil development in Canadian history, which had been touched off by the earlier dis- covery at Leduc. Thousands of peo were involved directly or indirectly. They began to share the oil harvest--a harvest that is ex- pected 'to continue for at least 20 years, come hail, frost, grasshoppers or wheat rust. First to benefit at Redwater were the farmers who received rentals for their land surface rights on a long-term lease basis. Next were the established townspeople who garnered indirect benefits as busi- ness in Redwater doubled and tripled. ' Oil workers with or with- out families, flocked into Redwater to take jobs as drillers, production men, truckers, mechanics. New mer- chants arrived to start thriving shops and provide new services. CROWN HOLDS RIGHT Redwater was settled after the Canadian government reserved the mineral rights for the €rown and so farmers in the area do not own the rights. to minerals under the land and the royalties on the oil that is produced go to the govern- ment. However, Redwater farmers benefit from oil through the rentals paid by oil companies for surace rights, for land needed as well sites and from the sale or lease of parts of their farms required for other oil operations. Redwater's discovery well was brought in by Imperial in Septem- ber, 1948, on the Hilton Cook farm. His sons Ray and Percy sold three quarter sections for well sites to the company for $32,000. Visitors to the discovery find 68- year-old Hilton Cook, heavy-set and weather-beaten, wearing a blue workshirt, corduroy trousers and a small peaked cap as he putters around his farmyard looking after his garden, three cows, some chickens and a few pigs. The gar- den, flourishing with vegetables last summer despite the dry season, is his chief delight. In the fields be- yond, his sons cultivate crops of wheat, oats and barley, farming right up to the edge of the well sites, Except for a néw model car standing in the yard, the oil boom hasn't changed Hilton Cook's ways. Like most of the oldtimers he harks back to the early homestead days. recalling the fine times they had with picnics and barn dances. Hilton Cook was a boy of nine when his father, Sam Cook, came from Fred- ericton, New Brunswick, to become one of the first three settlers in Redwater. Redwater's three main streets-- Railway Avenue, First and Main-- filled up rapidly with every con- ceivable type of business; four more general stores, a drug store, nine restaurants, thre lumber yards, two banks, two theatres, a bowling alley, barber shop, two jewelry stores, bus depot, three clothing stores, two hardwares. Cement sidewalks were laid on two streets. Street lights appeared, along with a telephone system, trains every day, regular milk delivery, a policeman, village secretary, civic organizations, churches and two weekly news- papers. The municipality built a new high school in Redwater to- ward which the village taxes pro- vided $11,000. All elements in the community co-operating in the sub- scriptions for a $20,000 curling rink. Newcomers to Redwater came roll- ing in to provide receational, mer- chandising and other services for the mushrooming oil centre. Bus- iness boomed because of the fat pay cheques from the scores of oil companies, drilling firms, truckers and contractors operating over the field which Imperial's vice-president Dr. Oliver R. Hopkins, described as "one of the large fields of the continent." (Estimated reserve, 500 million barrels compared with 250 million at Leduc.)

Cancer Sign May Be Bump Montreal (CP) -- Two doctors from Saskatchewan today reported some favorable immediate results in treating certain types of cancer with betatron rays. Drs. T. A. Watson and C. C. Burkell of the cancer clinic in Sas- katoon made the report to the an- nual meeting of the Canadian Me- dical Association. They said: / " "Some favorable immediate re- sults were obtained in cancer of the cervix (neck), urinary bladder and brain tumor. There' was little effect in advanced cases of cancer of the rectum." The two doctors said the beta- tron is effective for "deep therapy" where ordinary X-rays don't pene- trate. No unexpected ill effects were found. Drs. Watson and Burkell used Canada's first betatron, installed by the Canadian Atomic Energy Control Board at the University of Saskatchewan, in 'treating 58 pa- tients. The machine produces elec- trons or -Xrays of high energy without use of high voltage. Of the 58 patients treated, 26 still are alive and 32 dead. But the re- port added that 'since the pa- tients chosen were all very ad- vanced patients, sometimes almost at the point of death, this record should not be hastily judged poor." Of 10 treated for cancer of the cervix, seven are alive and three dead. Nine patients were treated for bladder cancer, all of them in ad- vanced stages of the disease and considered unsuitable. for surgery of any sort. Seven now are dead and two are well. Ten were treated for inoperable lung cancer. Seven died. In two of the living patients the cancer ap- parently has disappeared and one has had a recurrence. Seven of the eight treated for cancer of the rectum died and the one that lived has "residual disease at 16 months and without symptoms." Only one died among six treated for brain tumor. All the living are sympton-free after an average of 10 months. Two died and two are alive after treatment for throat cancer. The remaining cases were mis- cellaneous ones of which five died and six are alive.
