1 I PRINCIPAL FEATURES OF DRILLING RIG Oil Drilling Operations At {Wellington Ar ,"0il Explorations” was the interesting subject of a talk be- fore the Rotary Club at the weekly luncheon at the Charlotte- gown Hotel yesterday by George irkpatrick, manager Producing gepartment, The Imperial Oil company Limited, Summerside. §Mr. Kirkpatrick dealt primar- ily with the type of work engag- ed in while d-rilling for oil in P.E.Is-land at Imperial-Welling ton No. 1 location. ' In the course of his address Mr. Kirkpatrick said after geo- logical and seismic surveys in- dicated the possibility that rock formations eight or nine thou- sand feet below the surface near Wellington, P.E.I., might be suit- able for the accumulation of oil or gas, Imperial Limited mov- ed a drilling rig into the area. Despite the many advances made in recent years in the science of geology and geophy- sics, only the drill cair finally determine whether a rock struc- ture contains oil. Generally speak- ing, the chance of finding oil or natural gas in a new area are e Explained 311m- .35 Past experience proves. Imperial drilled 133 dry wells in Western Canada and spent $23 million before discovering the Leduc field in 1947. On the aver- age only one wildcat in 93 turns up a field with commercial pos- sibilities. The drilling is progressing at from 40 to 60 feet per day and at seven o’clock’ on Monday a depth of 7,543 feet had been reached. The equipment in use is capable of reachin-g a depth of approximately 11.000 feet. The speaker was introduced by the chairman, Rotarian Jim Cer- ry, who extended an invitation to anyone interested to visit the operation site at Wellington. The thanks of the club was extended by co-chairman Rotarian T.W.L. Prowse. ' Guests of Rotary were Prem'— ier A.W. Matheson, Claude Smith F.A.S. Jones. Alex Grant, Saint John N.B., and three uni- versity students home on vaca- tion, David MacDonald. Ian MacLea~n, B.A. and Gordon Tweedy.

In 1941 he went to On-' tario and worked with the R.C.A§ as a civilian employee for sev-I eral years.

Mark was of a very jovial dis-.- position. It was often said of him that he was never known to be out of sorts or in bad humor. He was never known to speak ill of anyone and his philosophy of life seemed to be: “If you can’t say something good about a fel- low, then don’t say anything." Charitable and generous by nat- ure he gave freely to every wor- thy cause. He was a valuable member and diligent worker in the Benevolent Irish Society and also was a member of the Holy Name Society. .

Thdse who, took part went through a great deal of trouble to present the many dialogues, songs and dances. If it were not for their cooperation and readi- ness to work it surely would not have been such a grand success. The curtain rose at 8.30 on an artisitically decorated stage and from that moment on each num- ber was well presented and great- ly enjoyed. The master of ceremonies, Mr. James Gallant, while announcing each number added some com- ment which made it more enter- taining. During intermission instrumen- tal music was rendered by Em- Donnie DesRoche, accompanied by Mrs. Herbie Gauthier.

(CP)—A truck being loaded with six tons of oats was just too heavy for the floor of a barn here. Crashed through the floor and dropped 11 feet into Fire Test Missiles Along A Seven-Mile-Long Track By STEVE LOWELL ALAIVIOGOLRJDO, N.M. (AP)-- The U.S. Air Force has a seven- mile-long instrument to test mis- siles under free flight conditions and at the same time hold them in harness to prevent bad dam- age or complete loss. Counting attached buildings, a large drainage canal and other connected facilities, the B-adget cost about $1,000,000 a mile. But says Col. Donald H. Vlcek, chief of the track division at the air force‘= missile development centre: . “You know it costs a great deal to shoot a missile. '1lhink of the money that can be saved by fir- ing missile components down this track to see if they operate cor- rectly. When missile systems are fired down it, they can be recov- ered and examined and rebuilt if necessary.” TERRIFIC SPEED The track is designed so that a 2,000-pound sled can reach a speed of mach 4——four times the speed of sound—and be brought to a stop. The vehicles that use it slide on metal slippers instead of using wheels. The rails are set on concrete cuiibings with a shallow concrete ditch between them and two nar- row strips of lblaok-top paving on each side. I The concrete ditch has pairs of vertical grooves every few feet in the sides and across the bot- tom. In these can be inserted pan- -els of easily broken building tboard. '1‘-h-is is part of the sled braking system. Water can be run into the sections between the board dams to any level desired, like a set of canal. locks. On the bottom of the sleds are steel scoops. When a sled reaches the area where it is to stop, the scoop knifes through the -boards and into the mounting levels of water, like stair steps. How rap- idly the levels mount determines a cow barn. how quickly the sled stops. Smige! TIRE ‘SALE low prices on NEW B.F.Goodrich tires!
