The chair was taken by the assistant man

Mr. Enston described how oil fields were
discovered and the various methods of drill

An interesting film was shown depicting

how the oil boring plant had to be in
stalled! roads made, pipe lines and storage
tanks erected, and quarters designed for the
mixed population. A final film was entitled

picture, which' had just arrived from Lon
don, was awarded first prize at the Olympia
