The yield is about one harrel ot ou per ton of sands." Tests of tar sands made in Chicago reveal they are capable of producing 55.5 per cent of bitumin f rom which petroleum products can be obtained. Costs of transportation from McMurray can be overcome by volume of output. Because of the general world situation, and uncertainty as to oil availability, the United States Secretary of the Interior, J. A. Krug, has recommended large expenditures for the extraction of petroleum from coal. The time has come it seems when any country with oil must make the most of it and cultivate thrift. It is not at all improbable that Washington, alive to the situation, will suggest to Canada that she develop the vast and proven oil resources of her own which would be a timely challenge. One may well wonder why, before this, Canada has not been cashing in on what she possesses. .There is a history of attempted exploitation. The commercial recovery of oil from the saturated sands has not yet been achieved. During the war, no less than half a million dollars was spent in experiments. Twice, testing buildings of importance have been destroyed by fire, along with costly equipment. The oil in super-abundance, is there. The trick is separate it from the sands. ' -,,J' CHILD'S RIGHTS DENIED THE-PAST GO YEARS of what we call civil!-I zation have ruined urban childhood," declares Philip Wylie in The Readers' Digest for March.

As soon as he can crawl, the child is impounded in a playpen which frustrates his every vital instinct." In an article condensed from The Atlantic Monthly, Wylie holds that only through "a process of adventure, experience and exploit" can a child become an emotionally mature and self-reliant adult. But fearful parents, instead of aiding this process, inhibit its development by over-protection. Many parents, in the artificial life of our urban centres, are themselves lacking in basic experience, Wylie contends. "They join welfare and hygiene societies, but have never seen a chicken killed or a kitten born. They cross the Atlantic, but they cannot swim. They have slept in hotels in Cairo and Bombay, but never in the woods. They drive to the top of Pike's Peak, but they have never shin-nied a tree." Without such basic experience, adults lack self-leliance, the author maintains. Adult fears, ranging from an anxietv about crossing the street to panic over the possibility of another war, are projected UDon children, in the shape of parental tabus and restrictions of the vary activities essential to youn esters. The one discipline which a child must have, he asserts, is the natural discipline of cause and effect "the nerfect honestv of nature and the inviolability of its laws. Children have the right to observe and experience every fact of nature in environs where thev can dig. pluck, build, walk, swim or chon without let or hindrance." But in modern urban life such expressions of a child's instincts are necessarily illegal. "If a bov peels the bark off a tree to make a toy boat to float on a pool, he destrovs somebody's birch m Had has to nay. and the old lady who owns th; rynld fishpond has him chased by policemen."
