Professors Elso S. Barghoorn of Harvard and Stanley A. Tyler of the University of Wisconsin announced last week that they had found the oldest fossils so far.

Smiley's sudden surge is the result of an oil strike last September some 2,300 ft. below the surface of the surrounding wheatfields. In a geologic layer of Viking sand, drillers for Imperial Oil Ltd. struck a pool of high-quality light oil, the best yet found in Saskatchewan. Since then, 30 producing wells have been drilled, and new ones are coming in at the rate of two a week. Some 15,400 acres of Smiley wheatland have been classified as a proven field, capable of accommodating 385 producing wells...
