SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 2, 1961 ONTARIO TODAY PAGE FIFTEEN Clean and controlled in greenhouses. Gas heats ultra-modern Toronto church Soft Light With Gas may be trite to say "there's nothing new under the sun" but the natural gas industry is certainly demon- strating that fact. Gas is being used once more for lighting purposes, and according to forecasters in the industry, gas street lighting may be not so far away. It takes a real old-timer to remember that street lamps were using gas at the turn of the century. On some streets in older parts of Ontario a few lamp standards still re- tain the fixtures used more than half a century ago, though electricity now powers the lights on the stan- dards. In a number of new residential subdivisions in the Toronto area decorative gas lamps are being used on porches and lawns. But the lamplighter who used to go around to light the street lamps will not be necessary to light the 1961 variety of gas lamps. They are turned on by an automatically oper- ated clock attached to the lamp! Natural gas is being used by commercial concerns as well for lighting purposes. Street name signs and adver- tising messages are now being lighted at night in some areas with natural gas, giving a soft effect when used with translucent materials. At Goodwood Airport, near Stouffville, 94 gas lights have been installed for runway lighting of the airport. Gas officials claim economic op- erating advantages for such lights, almost glare-free light- ing, and uninterrupted under- ground service in spite of sleet storms. Modern fuels for Canada's homes and industries The British American Oil Company Limited produces safe, clean economical fuels from two natural gas processing plants and six refineries for homes and industries across the nation, A growing nation must have abundant sources of energy, and petroleum and natural gas are expected to meet nearly 70 per cent of Canada's vastly increased energy requirements by 1970. British American is planning and investing now for its contribution to-- and share in-- Canada's future. THE BRITISH AMERICAN OIL COMPANY LIMITED
