SPONSORS OPERA There is a considerable overflow of Texaco advertising into Canada through magazines published in this Sountry and distributed in the Dominion, The world-famous Texa- co-sponsored Metropolitan Opera broadcasts are as highly regarded in Canada as they are elsehwere, The fullest kind of co-operation supports the relationship of McColl. Frontenac with Texaco, The vast technical and research facilities of The Texas Company aid McColl Frontenac In its refining depart OTHER INTERESTS The company owns about 140 railroad tank cars and operates approximately 625 more under lease, McColl-Frontenac owns a 20-per- cent stock interest in the Portland Pipe Line Corporation and Mont. real Pipe Line Company Limited, which operate connecting crude oll pipe lines between Portland, Maine, and Montreal, The company has a third Interest in the Trans- Northern pipe line which is a prod- uct pipe line connecting Montreal, Toronto, and Hamilton with a branch to Ottawa, Through a wholly-owned subsidi- ary, the Antilles Petroleum Com- any (Trinidad) Limited, McColl: 'rontenac engages in producin operations in Trinidad, British est Indies, Practically all of the Trinidad production is sold in Trin. idad at this present time. Manufacturing and marketing Texaco products has a number of ment operations, for example, thus assuring that products McColl Frontenanc manufactures and markets under Texaco brand names meet all Texaco quality standards. The urgent need for oil in World War II spurred a number of oll companies, including McColl-Fron- tenac, to search for new 'reservoirs to bolster dwindling production at Turner Valley. A number of small fields were found, but significent discoveries eluded searchers, While all the "rules" told geolo- ists that oll lay somewhere under the prairies, no one could find it, Millions were spent by companies on exploration that for years brought nothing but one dry hole after another, The 'one more well" drilled at Leduc in February, 1047, brought to a dramatic close the lean years of unrewarded searching, A great influx of Canadian and American capital, drilling rigs, and explora- tion crews soon converged on Al- berta's wheatlands, Today explora- tion has spread from Manitoba to the Pacific, NEW OIL WELLS McColl-Frontenac, back in 1939, was among the first to engage in exploratory work that culminated in the present boom, During this exploration, in association with another company, it discovered a substantial natural gas field in the Pakowski Lake area of Alberta, near the Montana border, Negotia- tions were concluded for the sale of the field shortly after it came into production, Texaco Exploration Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Texas Company, entered the Al berta "play" as an equal partner with McColl-Frontenac in Novem- ber, 147, A Siepped-4p program of activity ensued, and by the end of 1049, 21 producing wells had been brought in by the Texaco- McColl team, Early In 1950, Texa- co took over the entire burden of exploration in Canada, At the close of 1950, land held by Texaco Exploration and other Texaco subsidiaries and consider- ed prospective for oll and gas to- talled nearly three million acres, Forty-one producing ofl wells had Sixty years ago Oshawa was little more than a name and ideal.

The US. as previously an- nounced, would be responsible for construction of the DEW line along the northern rim of mainland North America, Canada, however, would contribute such resources of the RCAF and the Royal Canadian Navy as could be made available and would assist the US, in or- ganizing and using other Canadian resources, This was the first Indication the RCN might Participate in con- struction of the DEW line, It was presumed it would assist in ocean movement of supplies to bul'ding sites.
