3| To 45 Years ls ‘Belief

(O. P. by Glllvlhn’! Special Will)

CALGARY. Doc. li-Using a pro- duction basis of 15.000 barrels daily, Dr. B. B. Boatrimt of Houston. Texas, estimated the life of Turner Valley oil field at 81 to 46 years when he appeared today before the

Royal Commission

dustry.

ember of a firm of petroleum and natural gas engineers, Dr. Boatright submitted flames esti- mating the reserves of naphtha. gasoline from "wet gas" and crude oil in the field, 46 miles southwest of Calgary. between 171,000,000 and 256,000,000 barrels.

Dr. Boatright was the first wit- ness to be called as the commission composed of Mr. Justice A. A. Mc- Gillivray and Major L. R. Lipsett of Ardley, Alta. resumed its in- quiry into price structure. produc- tion casts and other phases of the industry. He was called by J. J. Frawley. K. C.. Edmonton. counsel for tine Commission.

Dr. Boatnlght estimated the gas area of the field as it is known at present at 10.000 acres. The oil area. he estimated at another l0.- 000 acres with another 5,000 acres of potential oil area.

Exclusive of the potential oil area. Dr. Bcatright estimated the original gas reserve of the field at 1. 900.000 cubic feet. Up to Jan- 1. 193B. a total of 952,000,000 had been extracted.

Th said Dr. Boatright, left approximately 450.000.030.000 cubic feet of gas still in the field. or. he added, about two thirds of the 0r- iginol gas reserve of the field had been produced.

Labor Boavrll;

Loses Again To Supreme Court

. 1p (AP) g Supreme Court today thwarted an effortof

the National Labor Relations Board to reinstate 145 seamen who were discharged after two

ships had been seized in sitdown

strikes.

Without explaining its action the court refused a board request that it review a decision of the [min federal circuit court, which

set aside a board order requiring ‘reinstatement of the men.

I The order had been directed a- gainst the Peninsular and Oc- cidental Steamship Company. It was the second setback in as many weeks for the N. L. R. B. The court ruled formally last Monday that the borad had exceeded its authority in ordering cancellation of contracts between American federation of labor unions and the Consolidated Edison Company of New York. As in that case the Americarf Federation of Labor ap- geared in opposition to the board the proceedings ended today.

In the steamship dispute. the N. L. R. B. ordered the strikers reinstated with back pay. It con- tended the men were discharged because they joined and assisted the National Maritime Union, an affiliate of the congress of in- dustrlal organizations.

At thetime of the dispute, the International seamer’; Union, an A. F. L. affiliate, had contracts with the company, which operates hte steamers florida and Cuba between Miami and Port Tampa, 110a... and Havana.

In its only formal decision today, the high court ruled that the University of lvfiissouri should ad- mit Irloyd Gains, a negro, to its school of law.

(In Lansing, Mlchi, where he i! employed on a survey sponsored by the Works Progress Admin- istration, Gaines declined to say whether he would enter the school which previously had refused to admit him.)

Mockingbird Seen Near Gaspe P. 0..

OTTAWA, Dec. iii-In strange surroundings for a southern song- stenamockingbird, that had stray- ed far from its native home among the magnolias and jasminos of the southern United States, was seen and carefully identified near Gaspe, Quebec, by Dr. Harrison l". Lewis. of the Department of Mines and Resources, Ottawa, on his recent inspection tour of that region. When observed the mockingbird was apparently in ood health and was flitting actlvey about among the northern evergreen trees. Perhaps one of the hurricanes that have ravaged the Atlantic coast this fall had picked it up

ward to the Gaspe Peninsula. Only twn other definite occur- rences of the mockingbird in tho Province of Quebec are on record and, strangely enough. both of

the Gaspe Peninsula. In.1003 a mockingbird a peared on Anti- costi Island an another was dil- covered during the acme year near Poinio den Morita . on the‘ north aide of the mouth of the St. Lawrence estuary.

The mockingbird is oftou called the king of song‘ for exports con- sider it to be t e finest songbird in North America. has a de- lightful song of its own, which it

Original oil reserves exclusive of

the naphtha and usoline obtain-

ed throuuh extraction from tho wet were estimated by Dr. m- l70.00ii,000 barrels from

wet gas and the 4.000.000 which he estimated was still re- coverable from the wet gas to ob- tain a total of 1841300000 barrels of crude oil. naphtha and gasoline. Total production of crude oil. naphtlm and aascllne since produc- tion first started in the field was estimated by Dr. Boatright at l3.- 000.000 barrels which. he declared left 171000.000 barrels still in tile

field.

On the basis of 15.000 barrels daily as the average production Dr. Boatright declared that futurt Life of the field would be about 31 years. After cltiln-g these figures. Dr. Boatright dealt with the 5.- OOO-acre potential oil area. It could be expected. he said. that the 5,- ODO-acre area would be productive as the 10,000 acre oil area.

As a result. another 50 per cent in years and potential production could be added to give the Valley a possible life of around 46 years with a possible total production of around 256,000,000 barrels of crude oil, mphiiha and gasoline.

British Isles Become Stage . For Christmas

By WILLAM McGAFFIN Associated Press Staff Writer LONDON, Dec. 12-—(CP)——- The play’: the thing in Eilglarid when Christmas rolls ‘round-not modern play but pantomime the old muirimers’ drama.

Christmas isn't Christina-s to the average Londoner until. for the umpteenth time in his life, he sees Peter Pan winging h way across the stage (supported y a not-so- invisible wire). or little Alice ex- periencing the adventures of Won- derland!

Every Christmas season leading theatres are occupied by these and other favorite pantomlnes put on. not by amateurs as you might ex- pect. but by some of the finest talent in England. Anna Neagle, for instance. of Queen Victoria fame, pfayed Peter Pan last year.

The theatres always are jammed -reflecting a perhaps unsuspected vein of sentimentality in the Brit- ish. And this year. With John Bull rejoicing that he's Christmas by his comforting hearth instead of in the trenches, the standing room only sign is expect- ed to go up quicker than ever.

Yule tide finds jingle bells-of cash reglsters-clanglng as loudly in England as in America. Christ- mas is commercialized in much the same way in both places. Father Christmas (that's British for Santa Claus) visits the big

res.

Still, many quaint customs have survived, especially in country dis- tricts. ‘In some sections Christ- mas still lasts the l2 days of old, winding up with a bang on the Twelfth Night Shakespeare wrote about. During that season. vil- lagers turn mummer to act out centuries-old plays and to frolic in the streets.

Coats of Mall

If you were in Oomwall of an evening you'd see fisherfolk in coastal vi lages “guise dancing" on street corners to the music of con- oertina and drum. ‘The boys us- uallv dress as girls and the as ya. Sometimes they asume historical characters, sometimes merely go In blackface. ‘

In Hampshire you'd sea ordinar- ily dead serious rm labored strangely arrayed in pseudo-Norman helmets and coats of mail, their faces concealed by strips of wall-

eper. 'I‘l1at is the prescribed cos- ume in which the workers re-en- act the ancient mummers’ play a- bout St. George and the Dragon.

A hot time still is had by all at Allendale, Northumberland. and -at Burghead on Scotland's Moray Firth. When New Year's night falls on Allendale, two dozen quaintly arbed men with pans of blazing r balanced on their heads, parade behind the village to the market place where they touch off a. bonfire. At Burghead they “burn the Clavie." and Clavie b ed with wood. while still aflame and there mad rush for the glowing embers. which are supposed to bring good
