HEINTZMAN & CO. Phone 769 Ontario St. With the launching in England on September 14th of the motor tank ship "Calgarolite," Canadian interests which already own and operate the world's largest tank ship, claim also the most modern and efficient of tankers, and a Can- adian tanker fleet wins further em- inence as one of the major oil fleets of the world. The "Calgarolite' slipped from the ways at Haverton Hill-on-Tees with Miss Eleanor Ross, daughter of Victor Ross, Vice-President of Imperial Oil Limited, acting as sponsor. The "Calgarolite' is a 15,600 ton vessel with an indicated horsepower of 6,500, which makes her one of the most powerful and fastest tankers of her size. She is guaranteed a service speed of 12 knots. She is 540 feet long with a 70-foot beam and moulded depth of 38 feet 9 inches. Her modern equipment will permit loading and unloading of 120,000 barrels of oil in twenty-four hours, and so she will be almost continuously in tran- sit, serving much as an "'oil ferry"' between Talara in Peru, Cartagena in Colombia, and Montreal and Hal- ifax. She will establish new figures for economical transport of petrol- eum, Replace Torpedoed Ships The "'Calgarolite" is the last of three large modern sea-going tank- ers and one lake tanker which were laid down some time ago in Bri- tish shipyards for Imperial Oil. Preceding her in launching were the "Windsolite"' for lake service, and the "Victolite' and "Vanco- lite."' The flagship of the fleet in which she will serve is the world's largest tanker, the "C. O. Still- man." The three sea-going ships just built in the British yards re- place three Imperial vessels which went to the bottom at the hands of the enemy while transporting pet- roleum for the allied cause. They were the "Luz Blanca," the "Ret- law" and the "Palacine." Unload in Twenty-four Hours The motor driven tanker of to- day is a highly specialized vessel which is designed to move a great volume of petroleum at maximum speed and with minimum delay at loading and unloading ports. A few years ago three days was consider- ed a quick 'turnaround' for a tanker. Today, with modern pump- ing equipment, a tank ship turns around in twenty-four hours. That is to say, twenty-four hours after she arrives in port she has taken on or discharged her cargo and is again at sea. Consequently the modern tanker is moving practical- ly all the time and, more than any other type of ship, is the actual home of her crew. To compensate for the more continuous service, the crew is.accommodated in a style that would turn the average tar green with envy. Nothing is over- looked to provide complete comfort and the sailors enjoy quarters and cuisine that compare favorably with passenger accommodation on many liners. The Imperial Oil fleet now com- prises nine large ocean-going motor tank ships: the "C. O. Stillman" of 22,715 tons, the "Victolite," '"Van- colite,"' "'Calgarolite," ""Montrolite'"' and "'Canadalite"' of 15,600 tons; the "Ontariolite" and the "Regino- lite' of 12,000 tons, and the "Tron- tolite," formerly a steam turbine vessel, which was converted into a motor ship, with a tonnage of 9,150. The combined motor tank ships carry 1,016,000 barrels of oil which they load and discharge at an average port time of twenty- four hours. It is estimated that these ships carry for about 25 per cent. cheaper than 'steamships of corresponding size. Large Lake Fleet In addition to the ocean tankers, Imperial Oil is operating six canal size steam driven ships on the Great Lakes. These move refined producis from Halifax to various ports in the Great Lakes and to Fort William, serving the Halifax, Montreal and Sarnia refineries. Most of these ves- sels tie up during the winter but in the summer it is a rare thing for one of them to have more than eight or ten hours in port. On the Pacific Coast the SS '"'Imperial" and two other steam vessels transport pet- roleum products for the company, and there is also the small motor ship, the "Marvolite,"' with a capa- city of about 1,000 barrels. The combined capacity of the entire Im- perial fleet is approximately 1,100,- 000 barrels; sufficient to fully load more than 5,300 tank cars, making a train 36 miles long. The modern ocean-going tank ship contrasts interestingly with the shallow draft river boats which are used by the Imperial interests on the Magdalena River in Colombia, and which resemble in appearance the old stern wheelers Mark Twain once piloted on the Mississippi.

" ca aa Florida and Southern, California, the two areas that have commanded much attention among northern citi- zens looking for winter playgrounds, have had misfortunes that may cause visitors to think not so well of them. In 1926 a similar storm to that which recently visited Florida, caused death and distruction which was grad- ually being forgotten. Northerns have invested immense sums in property for habitation in winter and the dani- age to this has been heavy. Al- though the season for tropica] storms is mostly late summer and autuma which visitors escape, the loss of their property will cause them to decide that a permanent location in north is the safest and most secure. So far as California is egncerned the earthquake is a potent factor against anchoring there as securely as people would otherwise in spite of their splendid winter climate. It is unfor- tunate that elimes where rigors of winter canbe avoided have the han- dicaps referred to as some people have lost all they possessed, are ruined financially and will never re- ecéver physically and mentally from the effects of the trials they have undergone. s 'And that's that!
