Looking back on his 47 ycars, he realized how spincless they had been. Without knowing ex- actly what to do about it; he had long since grown tired of fetching and carrying for exacting [Elmer Dunning, e president of Webbyville's First National bank. And what had happened lately left his spirits flat- ter than any ledger line. John Morrie, the cashier, resigned to take a job in an eastern city and the cashier job in old First National became the plum ready to drop into the lap of some lucky man. Joe was next in line for promotion, but - he was worried. He wanted to ask Dunning about the board's plans and didn't have the courage. The small blue eyes nn his bony face filled with fear at the" thought of such audacity. Somchow he couldn't stretch the narrow should- ers on his short thin frame to the necessary width of - confidence. In short order Joe's hopes were «dashed to oblivion. Why did some fellows have all the luck? That young upstart, Harry Coats, who'd been brought on from New York, ni cashier over the heads of the four men having seniority in the bank's marble elegance! Resent- ment blazed high until the three younger men got to liking Coats well engpgh to forgive him. But Joe Sand, thoroughly incensed, couldn't forgive. He hated Coats, he 'hated Dunning, he hated--everybody. His thoughts were creel hot diggers moral fibre within him. 'He was determined--to kill! Dunning ncedn't think that Joe Sands, the slave, hadn't a chick- Just because he didn't parade a push and drive was no proof that he hadn't secret ambi- tions to rise in banking circles. Joe glanced quickly around his modest room in Mrs. Miller's select boarding house. - Shak'ly, he took a gun out of the bottom drawer of the tired-looking pine bureau, thrust it into his pocket. The weapon had be-, longed to his father and was rusty with neglect. It had been used for target practice in the Sand fatnily's small back yard, but.never to spill human blood. It hadn't been shot of f in years. Joe hoped it wouldn't fail him--everybody and everything else had.

Natu- rally taciturn, he was cven more so now and his co-workers flung him . whispered among themselves about what was. "cating old Sandie." But through it all he was grimly determined. He - was doing his last duty for the stal wart old bank which had supported him for 20 years. He had to get everything in order before they took him away--after the killing!

This is due in considerable part to the fact that a large portion of the northern area of the province is dotted with innumerable lakes and rivers, which makes it a paradise for seaplancs. Thirty pilots and 25 air engineers operate the 30 planes from 23 bases strategically located across Nortlf- ern Ontario. Sixteen of the aircraft are based in Northwestern Ontario, 11 in the central northern portion, "and 3 in Southern Ontario. The dis- tribution is according to dhe trans- portation problems encountered in the various regions with regard for the shortages of road and rail facil- ities. A- large Hatigar and repair depot' at Sault Ste. Marie conduct major overhauls and maintenance. Largest acrial orest fire fighting organization in the world, the Pro- vincial Air Service, administered by -- the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests, patrols more than 360,- 000 square miles of Ontario terrain. In addition to it® utility /in forest prote 'on, timber management, lands administration and fish and wildlife management, the Provincial * Air Service has an important himan-, itarian use as a health and mercy' emergency service. The men who pilot the planes and the engincers who keep them in the air lave gained for themselves an - enviable record of achievement -in Canadian aviation. The Ontario Pro- vincial Air Scrvice has often been called the cradle of bush flying in - Canada. Since it§ inauguration in 1924 it has trained many famous ~ bush pilots, a great number of "whom, on leaving the service, have made flying-history in the Canadian north. The service has not only kept abreast of advances in aviation, * but has also largely been responsible' for tve innovation and implementa- tion of many improvements. Bush flying is an art. The modern bush pilot possesses a high degree of judgment, skill, foresight and caution. He must be respurceful and calm in any emergency, and have a practical knowledge of aircraft, engines and meteorology. And the air engincer is of equal import- ance. His is the exacting duty of con- stantly looking for minor troubles before they develop into major ones. When he tells the pilot béfore tak- ing off, "She's all yours," he has put his O.K. on mechanical per- formance only after he has satisfied himself that the pilot and his pas- sengefs are assured of no mechani- cal failures, td N Forest Protection : The chief use of the Service is in forest protection! particularly in connection wtih fire suppression. Its greatest sustained value lies in getting men and equipment to the scene. of a fire outbreak speedily. . Speed to the scene df a fire is a big The" factor in reducing fire losses. Thou- sands of acres of forest are saved each year from devastation in On- tario's great northern hinterland by tbe rapid action of aircraft: They are also used for detection of fires as a supplement to observers in lookout towers. The Air Service also undiribis "Plights of an emergency nature, where rapid transportation is wur- gently required by accidents and critical illnesses. Flying Ambulances Ontario Department of Health utilizes and pays for a flying ambulance service using De- partment of Lands and Forests air- craft. This Department' of Health service provides all the facilities of modern air transportation for medi- cal emergencies fcr those who may be' critically ill. or injured. The Health Department has named 29 doctors located at strategic pointg in the north who are empowered: to requisition emergency medical flights. In addition, the Air Service makes some flights of an emerg- ency nature outside of the sphere of the Department of Health. "Mercy flights" have woven a bright thread of glamour and ad- "venture in the varied pattern of Air Service activities. They have been, in the public eye since Roy Maxwell flew the first doctor and nurse into Moosonee, at -the fobt of James Bay. "You have doubtless read news- - paper . stories of a Service plane 'bringing. a sick mar, or woman or "child otit of the bush for medical © aid. It has happened a hundred times in the past twenty years. Here are extracts from just two letters received in gratitude of the aid: "I was told by the doctor that your prompt action in <¢onnection with "the plane has saved a man's life. You will get satisfaction out of knowing that, and we wish to thank you on behalf of the man and our company." "Mercy flights" are sometimes made at considerable risk to the pilots and their aircraft. Accidents and illnesses 'are no respectors of season or weather, and yet wheh 'the call for help goes out from some iso- lated camp to the Air Service, where at all possible, a plane i is dispatched. . Regardless of spring break-up, storms or any of the many hazards to northern flying, where there is a job to do every effort is made to - do jt speedily. Take, for _example, the Moose River Mine Disaster, when the whole world listened with bated breath to the plight of three men trapped in a Nova Scotia mine, Two were still alive when they: were taken out days later, one had died. While they - _ were entombed, miners worked " night and day to sink a narrow shaft to the. level in which they were "trapped. The assistance of the Air Service was offered in any capacity, and the offer was accepted. The first ship, a DH-61, piloted by George Phillips, stop-watches - "the ducksTwalking".

Thé second ship, a Vickers Ve- : dette, piloted by A, C. (Joe) Heaven, left on April 25th' carrying a special type of wool, which, it was hoped, could be packed in the:clothing of the buried men to provide warmth. | Report of Operation George Ponsford, Chief of the Service, in his laconic report of the operation, relates: © "April 16th to 25th is the spring break-up period but by reason of the current in the St. Mary's River, we have open water much earlier than any other part of Northern Ontario. By this time of the year we usuaily have many of our ships assembled and ready 'for testing as soon as ice -conditions on the river would permit. When this emergency. call reached us, we immediately put the DH-61 in the water, completed' its test flying and it was off to To- ronto. the same day. Phillips, T be- lieve, had to dodge fioating ice in order to carry out his test and sub- sequent take-off. When, within a few days, the second call came for ahother ship we were not so fortunate. We had nothing actually ready, but we put a crew to work night and day un- til the Vedette was ready. Heaven also had to dodge ice in getting under way. Neither Phillips nor Heaven ever mentioned, for publication, that after reaching Toronto, ghey took the "dry hop" across part of the New England States, over unfamiliar territory and in weather that saw The rescue job over, they turned about and made the 1,400-mile trip back with- out mishap. p The trouble is, from a journal- "istic point of view, pilots simply will - not talk about their "mercy flights" For ipstance, no oné has ever per- suaded Eddie Waller to" tell the story about his flight from Port Hope to "Sioux Lookout. All. he ever recorded in his log was -- "Demented Indian flown from Fort Hope to Sioux Lookout. .*.

Sergeant-Majors: During the recent war, the Air Service was called upon by the .R.C.AF. for assistance in locating R.C.A.F. pilots who had strayed from their courses on training flights." On one such occasion, an Anson trainer made a forced landing out. of gas, on a small lake one hun- dred and fifty miles north of civii- zation. - The Air Service not only found the downed plane and brought buck its crew, but it conducted tha most complete" salvage operation ever undertaken 'in Northern On- tario. In forest Droteaoh alone, the use of aircraft by the Department of Lands and Fore ts has paid big dividends on the investment of the 'people of Ontario. - Take the year 1923 for example. That was the worst fire year on record, with two million acres burn- ed over. Forestry experts say that it the Service had a hundred planes "and ten times as much equipment, it could not have wholly suppressed the fires of 1923. But they also point out that the cost of equipment could not be compared wtih the value of two million burned acres, The next big test came in 1936, when a total number of 2,264 fires raged in the North. Total acreage burned over was one and a quarter millions, with eighty per cent of the fires in one month -- July. Lightning was responsible for seventy-nine per, cent of the fires and consequently flying 'conditions 'were not good because of the storms, > Anyway, They Don't Fingerprint You! - When a visiting motorist drives into the 3vince of Alberta he must register with the provinciz 1 author- ities within 36.hours.
