He gave a complete ce of a picture of the world's oul potent- ials before closing with an off- the-record account of the oul sit- ismai. uation in the late war. The Speaker Frank Jamieson briefly sketch- ed the career of the guest speaker in a way to establish his authority 180 as a fuel expert. Mr. Morgan, born in Newmarket, educated in science, had to forego entering on 47 an industrial career until he re- turned from World War 1, in which he served in the risky busi- ness of a dispatch rider.. On his return he entered an almost en. 188 tirely new field of industmy with the Fess Oul Burner Co. and rose steadily to the top. In World War II, bis services were commanded by the government in organiza- tion work with the Oil Controller's Department. He also holds an en- viable record of perfect attend- ance in the Toronto Rotary Club. Noah's Ark Declaring he was no expert in his field since he had been only at it about 27 years, Mr. Morgan told of the background of oU 45discoveries. He suggested that the biblical stories of using pitch to caulk Noah's Amk ani stoking the fiery furnace of Shadrach, ent. Meshack and Abednigo, were most -likely founded on the use of oul seepage by peoples in the middle east. But practical application of oil to human needs began, rough- ]y, about 1859 when wells weme drilled near Erie, Penna, and re- fineries were set up.

One year ago, this paper won first place and the handsome trophy put up by the national magazine, The Canadian Weekly Editor, voice of Canadian weeklies fmomn coast to coast. In placing second this year, The Statesman is awarded the Certifi- cate of Menit which goes with that position. Winner of first place this year, together wîth the trophy was the Powell River (BC) News, and in 'third place came the Kîng's County Record of Sussex, NB. So, in this national contest awards are appropmiately spaced across the country. The donors of the trophy, Leslie C. Way and Dean Miller, co-publishers of the Cana- dian Weekly Editor, with head- quarters in Vancouver, BC, again chose a national board of judges to make the placements. This board consisted this Yeâr of Prof. G. M. Andmew, Univer- sity of BC; Charles Barber, for- mer publisher of the noted Chul- liwack Progress, winner of the Mason Tmophy this year, and edi- tor Dean Miller. In their report they stated that each had individ- ually read ail the editorial en- Valedictory Address at B. H. S. Annual Commencement Exercîses granting of the awards. Wh> fîrst place bad been decided up I the field narrowed down to fout from whîch placements weÈo made as above. Commenting on the niany ertw tries the judges held that ibrevity was a prime essential in pungent edlitorials, but evidence of deep thought and facility of expression to reach all classes of readers was of great importance. The ultimate test was a'bility to cover the subé ject as fully as possible with coge ent reasoning and sound cone clusion. These are the tools that attmact and influence many read» ers and also result in quotationa in other papers.
