In the event of war in Pacific it was to be used as a Pacific Coast repair tfase for the Royal Navy. The first big repair and overhaul jobs it did, as a matter of fact, were of a British auxiliary cruiser and big transport ships during World War I. , Towards the end of World War I it was used to build freighters for use in transporting war supplies, although the war was over before they were -completed. After that war, the plant lapsed into years of near complete idleness. World War II brought it into a period of feverish activity as it did a good job in producing small naval vessels and ,lrge ocean freighters. Cessation of war brought the fine local plant back into relative inactivity except for the work it is doing in connection with the servicing of the local fishing fleet and the odd in-- cidental ship repair job arising in contiguous waters.

Red 561 i hat's happening out in Alberta these days? Plenty' few being sought and found. Money's flowing taster. There's lots of activity, lota of opportunity. And as. a result all Canadians are better off. ' For instance, oil from Alberta's new welb is expected to save 68 million U.S. dollars this year! That's one of the big reasons for Canada's better trade position, one of the reasons we are able to buy more U.S. goods. , The new discoveries have meant lower cost operation in Alberta and Saskatchewan for farmer and industrialist, and this must ultimately benefit all of Canada. Then, too, it takes a lot of money to find oil and lots more to develop a field once it's found. Two million dollars a , week is being poured into oil exploration and development in Alberta today. That spending creates new markets for the things the rest of Canada his to sell. And finally let's recall that in the war years and after we were dependent on foreign oil for roughly 90 per cent of our supplies. This year prairie production should exceed prairie demand. With continued effort and reasonable success it is not too much to hope the men " who search for oil will make Canada self-sufficient in', petroleum in years to come. Everywhere in Alberta you hear about new oil discoveries'" all the more because they followed the long years when nature baffled the oil seekers. Years when men drilled holes two miles deep and found only water. ' Years ' of million-dollar disappointments. '. In 1947 the tide turned. First it was the Leduc field then the Woodbend field . . . next Red water . now' still untested by time, other discoveries give new promise' and the hope of still greater benefits for all Canadians.
