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.
