FREE DELIVERY Ajax Shopping Centre, Some Canadian oil executives, | however, expressed concern about the investment trend during the {last 10 years, particularly about the fact that subsidiaries of U.S. major companies operating in this country do not sell stocks to Cana- dians. "This is Canada and not just an- other state of the union," said an executive of one Canadian inde- pendent. "These subsidiaries are operating in Canada and Ameri- cans should do something to recog- nize the fact that Canadians have a right to participate." §. P. King, a Calgarian who is | general manager of Merrill Petrol- eums Ltd., expressed the feeling however there was no resentment within the industry about Amer- ican participation. "The inference is purely the re- sult of irresponsible statements by non-industry personnel, particu- larly politicians. If Canadian com- | panies are at a disadvantag®, it is | because of political bungling and interference." COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY | Home-owned companies itely can compete successfully in the western oil play, said A. C. Bailey, vice-president of Bailey Selburn Oil and Gas Ltd, an active Canadian independenf. Mr. Bailey, a native of Ottawa and former chairman of the Alberta Petroleum and Natural Gas Con- | servation Board, organized the | company six years ago. | "The American majors led the way in the development of the in- dustry," he said. "Canadian com- panies could watch and follow the Americans, but not enough of them did. In the last five years the value of land has shot up and it takes a lot of dollars to buy oil and gas reservations and leases. | "Now the big cry is that Cana- dian independents aren't getting a chance."

Ltd., one ef Canada's pioneer independents. "But Canadian boys are learning fast and many have reached the | point where they are filling re. sponsible positions." NO ACCURATE FIGURE . R. Kenneth Oakley, U.S. consul in Calgary, said no accurate esti- | mate has been made of the number |of Americans employed in the Capadian oil industry. He added that of the thousands of U.S. citi- !zens in southern Alberta, the vast majority were not connected with | the oil industry in any way. They | were business men and farmers | and among them were the Hutter- ites in the Lethbridge area and the Mormons in tHe Cardston area who {had never tried to become Cana. |dian citizens. The petroleum association esti- mates that only three to five per cent of the oil industry personnel are American. Most of them are top-flight executives or highly | skilled technical personnel. New trends started by U.S. com- panies have stirred up some re- sentment among local business men. These people say they are | not able to get good employees because they cannot afford te match salaries offered by the ofl companies. Only two U.S. operators here have organized public relations de- | partments and local newspaper men feel these programs are mot particularly designed to improve this phase of the industry. Said one com p any manager: "We believe we have a good in- |} | dustry and that we are good for the community--our aim is to get the true story across without any sugar-coated program. | Bishop Marsh EDMONTON (CP) -- Rt. Rev Donald B. Marsh of Toronto, Angli- can bishop of the Arctic who has just completed his annual six-week {tour of the North, says the white man does not understand the point of view of the Eskimos. Bishop Marsh said here that gov- ernment policy, although fashioned | by *'well-meaning persons," nearly | always lags behind what is needed. ! He criticized the government's pol- | iey towards education of children |in the Arctic, "Bishop A. L. Fleming built the first day school at' Fort McPher- son in 1946, and another at Tuk- |toyaktuk on the coast in 1947, be- cause the government wouldn't," {he said. {TWO ROADS OPEN | The government premise 'is that {the Eskimo will live the white man's way of life, said the bishop.

To show the Eskimo child the two ways of life--the white man's and the Eskimo's--the Anglican church is planning a tent hostel summer school where the child can learn the white man's way of life, During the winter, the child can live the Eskimo way of life with his parents, and thus choose which of the two lives he wishes to lead. 'If we can show the Eskimo a place in civilization, let's train him for it," said the bishop.
