Page 6 THE TRIBUNE, WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. Thursday, June 19, 1952, BRITISH COLUMBIA IN OIL PICTURE Central Press Canadian Canada’s search for oil has spread to British Columbia where geolo- gists hope deposits of oil may rival those of Aiberta and Saskatchewan, and perhaps those of Dakota and Texas. The same geological formation in which oil was found in those places exists in British Columbia and oil men now talk of a “vast sea of oil” extending from Athabaska to peras which would give Canada reserves of billions of barrels. The ‘columbia territory, whose potential is as yet unproved, is beng Gulied in the hope of discoveries will set off a program on the Alberta pattern where one discovery led to another.

First things should come first though, so I will begin with the par- ade. It is pretty hard to judge as to whether this year's parade was any better than last year after the open- ing day fiasco, and the parade being broken into two parts. I did notice a much better turnout of decorated bicycles; in fact I thought they stdie the show with their clever original ideas. Keep it up, kids. Although I believe that a humor- ous entry goes over better with the crowd and fully intended to decorate our car in this manner, we waited until the last moment of course to make up our minds what to do and then it was too late to ask Johnny Erickson to paint the necessary plucards. And so we journeyed out into the woods for evergreen boughs and wild flowers with which to cover the car. 1 had committed myself in this column to making an entry of some sort! And so I labored all day Wednes- day with the help of one of the boys from the back shop. It is amazing just how long it takes t6 decorate a ear, and the modern cars have a sur- prising lack of gadgets which can be used to tie the decorations ‘to. It Was soon apparent that we were go- ing to be short some boughs and some of the wild flowers began to take on a wilted appearance, but res- cue came in the shape of Les Pigeon who loaned me cedar boughs that he had used on the front of the store at Xmas. These were painted in myriad bright colors and besides filling in some of the gaps, gave the car a most festive appearance. Even at that, it came as a com- plete surprise to me to learn that The Tribune had won first prize for a decorated car! I still can’t believe it. It just bears out what I'm always contending — it could happen to you too, so how about an entry for next year? Mmmmm??? lt was indeed unfortunate that rain loused things up. With‘such an unheard-of occurrence happening, it was not surprising that no-one quite jBpew what to do. But anyone who had worked for a week with crepe Paper could not be blamed for “not, turning out on opening day. Fiv minutes in that deluge would have spelled ruin. It is to he hoped that the officials will be prepared next year with a definite d nin the event of rain. Next on my list for excitement was. the races; and the Mountain Race in particular. With Elaine in tow, I journeyed to the grounds Friday just for that spectacular event: and hop- ing of course to repeat my wonderful luck of the year before when I won ¥12.50 on a $1 bet. But this year I could find no help- ful Pete Curtis to give mea tip and had to use my own rather sketchy knowledge. I remembered that Pierre Squinahan had come in first in one of the heats on the previous year, so that is where I placed my bet. And what do you know?— he came in first and I got $8.90 this time. So now I am an expert on Moun-| tain Races, and my ego knows no bounds! At Saturday’s races I picked two. winners but didn’t fare very well on! the financial end of it as the odds Were almost even, But it was exc’ ing anyhow. | stem for picking a winner on one of these races was really a dilly. A friend informed me that a certain ly an expert, that he had followed the ponies at Santa Anita and so on. Keeping my eye on the expert, I sidled up behind him when he placed his bet and cunningly bet on the| same horse. And we won! Later in talking with my friend, he commented that this expert had really missed on that particular race. J insisted that he hadn't; why I had been right behind him when he made his bet. But the friend said he had seen the tickets and they were on another horse entirely. Well, we argued back and forth — until finally daylight dawned and it became apparent what I had done. I followed the wrong green shirt — but it paid off anyhow. More on the stampede next week.
