Production of Oi in Canada Well Worth Attention Alberta â€" Field _ Especially Worth Thought at Preâ€" sent. _A recent article in ‘Iue Aavance gave some particulars of the imporâ€" tance of the Turner Valley oil fields in Alberta, and more than one reader commented to the effect that too little was known by Canadians in general in regard to Canada‘s Oll possibilities. There are many who believe that in case of war, oil being so necessary a motive power, it will be of vitai fHecessity, One writer puts the case graphically when he says that gas will be more important in the war than T. N. T. In view of all this, a letter written by a wellâ€"known mining man should be of special interest. He has had wide experience in the oil industry in the United States and South Amerâ€" ica, as well as in general mining work. Recently he rotyurned from a visit to the Alberta oil wells, This was his first visit to this field, and here is what this mining man has to say: "The production of oil in Alberta â€"present and potentialâ€"should _ no jonger be ignored by Canadian invesâ€" tors, The people of Eastern Canada are familiar with the great mining industry. Into it they have thrown vast capital sums. As a result, a few very â€" rich dividendâ€"paying _ mines have been developed; a larger number of soâ€"called junior propertiee are in satisfactory production; but hundreds of nonâ€"paying properties still require muth capital before any return may be expected, Mining always will be one of Canadas great industries, but it is worthy of thought that an artiâ€" ficial price set on gold by United States "decree" has made possible the working of Canadian gold properties that otherwise would have been valueâ€" less. That flat value of gold. may change. It may again be lowered to the oldâ€"time 20 standard. c 1 1000000 OO L. iescs s nc h tss ns mm n mm "The Canadian invt the East or West, shc thing of the progres possibilities of the ol berta.

These are Americans coming from Pittsburg with foreign capital to take advantage of rich opportunities of which the Eastern Canadian never has heard because his ear has been attuned to other things "Benedum Trees offer but one example of substantial foreign capital coming into this great potential field. Western Canada needs capitalâ€"plenty of itâ€"but what‘s the matter with the great surplus capital funds of Eastern Canada? This is not to counsel a turning away from mining investment â€"quite the contrary. But this is Canaâ€" dian oil, just as certainly at the Easâ€" tern production of gold, nickel and copper belongs to the Dominion. This | is merely an alarm clock set for the Eastern investor. Foreign understondâ€" ing, foresight and capital will develop your oil fields if you fail to do so. "Turner Valley is a real oil field. The Province is crissâ€"crossed with faâ€" vorable structures, In oil history no region havings« all structural requireâ€" ments has been limited to one oil field. "Every intelligent Canadian knows that oil is the one commodity that can be profitably sold as it is produced. Its price and market are not dependent upon whim or government fiat, Oil production is a colossal world industry upon which general industry feeds. sooner or latér the Canadian investor will demand a share of this great wealth as it is created. He should not wait until the cream has been skimmed by tlhrie foreign investor alert to the rich possibilitiesâ€"but do some intelliâ€" gent investigation nowâ€"learn what is safe, what is speculative, and what is badâ€"then take part in what well may be Canada‘s greatest source of wealth."

Dorothy Lamour, in another of her dramatic roles for which she showed her penchant in the recent "Spawn of the North,‘ is the central figure in the plot. She plays a gorgeous Broadway celebrity, the idol of theatregoers from coast to coast, who chucks it all in rebellion against a tyrannical manager who insists on keeping her in a sarong for reasons of publicity. Fleeing from fame, glamour and starâ€"worship, Miss Lamour lands on a Mississippi showboat,, whose hardâ€" boiled ownerâ€"manager, Lloyd Nolan, takes pity on the unknown beauty and gives her a job singing in his show.

The story develops ingenious comâ€" plications as Stone, confident that he is right in refusing to allow the town funds to be invested in a questionable enterprise, finds himself in increasingâ€" ly hot water as the gullible citizens try every means in their power to beat down his opposition. Against this theme is played a româ€" ance between Stone‘s daushter and a young newspaperman, and the hilarious situations that result from the various political moves keep the story moving at a swift pace. The "grand old man of the theatre," Fred Stone, has a brilliant characteriâ€" zation as the mayor. His homely phil«â€" osophy and downâ€"toâ€"earth attitude give him a notable opportunity to display the talents that have made him popu«â€" lar for decades. With its smallâ€"town background and realistic settings, the film is said to strike an unusually trueâ€" toâ€"life note. Gordon Jones and Dorothy Moore play romantic roles, with Berton Churâ€" chill and Paul Guilfoyle portraying the suave swindlers who nearly bankrupt the town. Harlan Briggs as the bankâ€" er, Sherwood Bailey as Stone‘s misâ€" chicvous son, and Dorothy Vaughn, Frank M. Thomas, Jack Carson, Puzzy Knight and other noted players have important roles.

United States Would Need Tin Reserve if War Comes Now that surplus American cotton is to be swapped for British rubber from the East Indies, tin is near the top on the list of materials still needed by the United States for warâ€" time emergencies.
