'Ciba 'Tcboes --115 1' ,Aviation in Canaba FIRST PRIZE N 1919 Canada turned its attention to developing aviation as an aid to ex- ploring its northern country. Previous to this, little aviation was carried on as they iised it only for forest patrol to spot fires. '1 his proved a success Zllltl is being used in British Columbia, Cntario Quebec, as well as Dominion Forest Ser- and vice i11 hlanitoba, Saskatchewan Alberta. aint Aviation in Canada has been a great aid to miners. doctors. nurses and police who go into the inaccessible North. It has been stated that more has been learn- ed in the past ten years of the northern part of Canada than in the previous three hundred. Journeys that used to take months of hardship to complete can now be accomplished with perfect ease in a few hours. There are many private air companies who operate in the north and are carrying on successfully without subsidies from the Government. Flying is continuously going 011 the year round, with the ex- ception of a few short weeks in the spring and summer during the in-between seasons. It was not until 1997 that the Govern- ment undertook the development of a Trans-Canada Airway and in connection with their relief project, development has made marked improvement. This w'as due to the advancement and competition of American Airways and the progress of aviation in Europe. In l9Q9 a daylight service was begun from Yvindsor to lloncton in the east, and a night service between Edmonton, Calgary and YVinni- peg in the west. Wlith the mountain sec- tion practically finished and work under construction in Northern Ontario, Que- bec. New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. it will only be a in xtter of a very short time till Canada will have an airway from Halifax to Vancouver that will compare with that of any other country. The air route fro'n the Vvestern Provinces enters Northern Ontario as far as Cochrane, then turns south to Toronto, east to htontreal. Quebec. liloncton. Halifax. Charlottetown and Sydney. Canadian aviation is not o11ly a benefit to the people within our boundaries but is part of a World Airway System. Late in 1935 the hlanaging Director of Ini- perial Ai1'ways Limited, Blr. G. E. YYoods Humphrey. was in Ottawa discussing the possibilities of a Trans-Atlantic air ser- vice with Lt.-Col. F. C. Shemerdine. llirector of Civil Aviation. and Colonel Sir Donald Banks, Director General of the General Post Office. It has been stat- ed that it may go through Canada to Vancouver and from there to the Drient. They are intending to make test flights to Canada in the summer of 1936. The Canadian Flying Club Associa- tion has in the last eight years issued 944.3 tContinued on page -165 + + + THE CARRIER BOY 1t takes a lot of men, in a newspaper shop. And all must keep busy or presses will stop. The Editor's certain that he's the big noise, So he looks very big by the carrier boys. He sits at his desk. the boss of the works. And keeps the gang jumping like so many Turks: lint all his hard work wouIdn't matter a hoot, If the carrier failed to deliver his route. The printers and the pressmen are all worth their pay: They do their work well with little to say: They are needed at times and so is the clerk. YYho takes in the money, though that isn't work. llut the guy that's the real thing. the one that cuts ice, The fellow whose worth can't be fixed at a price. 1s the one who begins when the others are through, And lmrries to bring the paper to you.

The two weeks' journey that followed was spent pleasantly and peacefully he- tween the hright. red sun and the hlue. still waters. During the day the older memliers of our family spent their time reading. talk- ing and sitting on the deek. while I. a mischievous ehild of three years, spent my time running here and there. singing O Sole Mio and dancing. .-Xt last we arrived at Naples in heauti- fnl sunny Italy on November 18. From there we took train to Caserta. and from here went lay Carriage to a village ealled Ft. Barhara where lived mostly peasants. The homes in the villages and eities are built of white stone and eontain from one room up. aeeording to the owner's wealth and family. The food of the higher elass Consists of maearoni and tomato sauee. meat balls. white hread. olive oil. nuts. fruit. and wine as a heverage. The lower elass who ean't aftord these foods have for their three meals. onions. garlic. eorn hread. and maearoni onee a week. The men work in the fields from day- hreak to sunset with an hour oft for hreakfast and hmeh. IYomen also work in the fields as well as the house.

YYhat I wanted and got was an oppor- tunity. to. run around and see things, meet little girls and play house with them. and most of all try to talk Italian. Before it was time for us to leave this heautiful eountry we went to visit Cas- erta and the Kings Palace. surrounded hy guards. From here we went to Naples and saw St. Carlo Theatre.

This Club has twenty Government sponsored Air Ports through- out Canada. One of the most recent llll1DI'Ox'L'lIlt'lllh in Canadian Airways is a new radio direction finder known as Lear-o-scope. You tune in 011 a radio station in the direction in which you wish to go. It may be an ordinary broadcast band. the air- craft short wave band or the beam radio. The course. UIICL' set. is easy to maintain by means of a dial on the dash. When the plane is flying directly to the station. the needle is in the centre. and if it is left or right of the centre you are off the course to the right or left. There is also an automatic indicator which tells you exactly how far you are from the radio station. Thus our airways are being made a safer and more reliable means of transportation for the public. CLIFFORD Molmow, Hb Pom, Tvbis Tbistrict was llnbian 'lane N November 5, 1818. there was signed one of the most important treaties between the Crown and the Indians. Treaty Number 20. known as Surrender II. was signed at Smitlfs Creek in the Township of Hope. in Durham County, the place being named after Peter Smith who settled there before 1800. Eventually it became Port Hope, In addition to all of Peterborough and Victoria Counties. the surrender included two small parts of Northtunberland, the north half of Dur- ham and the northern tip of Ontario Counties as well as the southern part of Bluskoka and Haliburton Counties. The area involved comprised some 1.950.000 acres. For this the Crown undertook to pay SETI-tl a. year in goods. or for every man. woman and child. the amount. of ten dollars as long as each shall live. The treaty was signed by Xvilliam Claus. 1lepnty-superiutendent of Indian affairs and by six Indian tribal chiefs. About 230 Indians were affected by the treaty. In some references of the treaty the Indians were spoken of as Missi- sagasf' in the treaty itself they are called Chilrpm-was. -tlie chief being named the principal man in the Chippewa na- tion of Indians. llany of the Indians preferred the designation :'Ojibway, but the ollicial designation is Chippewa. Seem- ingly, the Indians were satisfied, but. looking at it from a modern viewpoint. it would seem as if they were given the worst of the bargain. l.. Corsox, Form III Ind. Arts. I -1 K ,- ' . - QN1 ,
