PAGE TEN THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1928 GODFREY PLANE LANDED SOFTLY ON PEACE RIVER Smoke Prevented Clear Vis- ion and Plane Injured in Drop Winnipeg, Oct. 6.--""As soft a erash as anyone could want," de- clared Wing Commander L. S. Breadner when describing the crash of Squadron Commander A. E. God- frey and three companions on the Peace River, near Carcajou, recent- ¥en the day of the mishap the party took-off from Peace River erossing and after an hour's flight, covering some 100 miles, they ran into a dense smoke, he said. Major Godfrey flew lower and continued along the banks of the river. An- other sixty miles of dehse smoke was navigated when the trees om the banks of the river were found to be on fire with smoke billowing over the cliffs and down into the basin. This smoke obscured all vis- fon, i Going Down It was a question of trying to ¢limb out over the 500-foot banks where the river bends, said Bread- ner, or landing on the river. It was decided to land. The pilot shut off the engine, but could not see the water to flatten out and flew right into it with a crash, a saving factor béing the reduction of ground speed through flying into the wind. Both wings dove in and the entire plane went under water, filling in- stantly through open windows and doors. The four occupants, pushed back into the cabin, succeeded in climbing out onto the wings, The plane then rose level with the wat- er and drifted within 100 feet of pghore where it stuck in the mud.

ROBINSON OF THE (From The Ottawa Journal) When Robert Louis Stevenson, lying on a sick bed, was told that Matthew Arnold was dead ,he said: "Poor Arnold; he won't like God." Not irreverently, we hope, we sus- pect the same thing of John R. Rob- inson, editor of The Toronto Tele- gram, to whom death came recent- ly. For by nature and soul and® temperament John R. oRbinson was a rebel, a protestant, an i last. Somebody once wrote of G. K. Ches- terton that an all-knowing Provi- dence placed him on earth to say "No" to Mr. Bernard Shaw. John R. Robinson seemed to have been placed in the world to say "No" to everything and everybody. Label- ling himself a Conservative, there was nothing, save his own concep- tion of a turbulent patriotism, that he wanted to conserve. In the col- umns of The Telegram, which he made unique, he thundered against socialism and radicalism, yet if there was one thorough-going So- clalist and Radicalist in Canada, it was John R. Robinson. Certainly he was not a Tory. He hated snobbery and caste as much as he professed to hate Rome, and his whele temperament was one of protest and veto. He was, in fact, an instinetive conscientious ob- jector, his mind selsing swiftly upon reasons why anything that was about to he done should not be done. His passion was to expose, to' ventilate, to protest, to prevent and to destroy. Nobody ever doubted his honesty. Fanatical he may have been, and intolerant, but nobody could ever say that John R. Robinson's im- own, that he wasn't captain of his own soul, The Telegram, unlike anything else of its kind in the world, was nothing but his voice. Day after day it thundered his mal- edictions and anathemas, damned all who dared oppose him with bell, book and candle; yet there was such a robust independence about the damning, his victims lit- tle minded. Rome was his great aversion. Yet it was characteristic of this strange paradoxical man that some of his sincerest friendships were for Rom- an Catholics, and that Papists, as he called them, were among his most trusted lieutenants. Woe betide the man, be he the most ex- alted Orangeman, whdé dared op- Pose the Irish Catholic, Joseph Gibbons, for the Board of Control in Toronto. " And Robinson, for all his dour. ness and turbulence, had a strain of poetry in him, His poetry was the poetry of Burns, with its fierce [Sones =i though all of them have at times pulses and convictions were not his' 'Inunciations of a Moody. Without them The Telegram will never be Johm .R. Robinsen could team nobody; had little use for his of the press. Yet felt the weight of his execratioms. there will be but one thought among them at his passing. it will be that somebody that was dif ferent, that just fell short of gen- fus, has gone from their ranks, coupled with the hope that the sod will rest lightly upon him.--Otta- wa Journal, September 28, 1928. PLAN T0 SETTLE 20,000 FAMILIES Ottawa, Oct. 8. -- Lord Lovat's plan outlined to Dominion and Pro- vineial Governments for the ultimate settlement in Canada in the course of about 10 years of some 20,000 British families, is being considered, Hon. Robert Forke said, but no con- clusion will be reached for a while. He intimated that the matter was not being pressed for immediate ac- tion. - As indicated here and to the Provincial Governments Wie Lovat plan calls for the issue of about fifty million dollars of debentures, guaranteed by the British Govern- ment, in the sale of which the Dom- inion Government would assist. The money would largely be used in the erection of some 5,000 cottages and small holdings and the advance would be by way of a loan. The view here is that the scheme will be worked out in time, but it is not yet in any conclusive stage. Mr. Forke said it would be considered when the Prime Minister returns. Since being in Ottawa, Lord Lovat has discussed his plans with various Provincial Governments, whose co- operation is also sought. (LEAR RECEIPT IS RECEIVED FOR NUNCEY'S BOOTS Mother Sends Message Say- ing John Bull Provided Another Pair Sydney, N.S., Oct. 6.-- Colonel W. R. Collins, Boer delegate with the Empire Parliamentary party, will not, after all, have to pay for the boots he took from S. W. Mun- cey, the Canadian scout whom he shot in the South African War. Colonel Collins received a clear quittance for the boots. His "heavy conscience' is mow clear. This last chapter of the story comes in a telegram, signed T. B. Grady, and received by Colonel Collins, from Charlottetown, P. E. "Regarding your search for S. W. Muncey, as mentioned in your re- marks before the Canadian Club at Moncton, Muncey is a nephew of mine. He is living in Vancouver, and in the real estate business. His mother is living at his home on this island and is hale and hearty. In order to relieve the heavy conscence which you have been carrying for the last 27 years she wishes me to ask you to accept this telegram, with her blessing, as 'a clear receipt for her son's boots. May 1 also state that the loss of the boots did not stop Mun- cey, John Bull provided him with another pair of boots with which he passed through the late war." PRENIER RHODES COLD 1S BETTER Still Unable to Discuss Question of Cabinet Reorganization Halifax, Oct. 6.--Premier E. N. Rhodes is recovering from the stricken just previous to the elec- tion at which his Government was returned to power, but is still un- able to discuss the eventualities relative to a re-organization of his Cabinet, it was learned at his resi- dence last night. No official word has yet beem given out as to the successors of the four Government members who lost their seats in Monday's election, although specu- lation continues to be active in pointing out likely members of the Government, The name of John F. Mahoney, Halifax, is being used considerably in political circles, where the mat- ter of a new encumbent of the port- folio of Natural Resources, held by Hon. John A. Walker, who was defeated in Halifax, is discussed. It is also rumored that Mr, Walker who was the only holder of a port- folio to be defeated, may be offer- ed an opportunity of contesting a Government scat, following the resignation of an elected member. The Halifax Daily Star said in its news columns yesterday: "Word comes from Truro that Frank Stan- field may resign his seat in Col- chester to enable Mr. Walker to run a by-election there and if he wins retain his portfolio, No official confirmation could be obtained, severe cold with which he was!'
