Oshawa Lumber COMPANY, LIMITED 25 Ritson Road North TELEPHONE 2821-2820 SWEDISH FLIER TO BLAZE NEW TRAIL Refueling Bases Are Estab- lished in Iceland and Greenland Stockholm, June plane flight from Sweden to the United States via Iceland, Green- land and Labrador and Canada--a distance of some 4,300 miles--is planned by Captain Albin Ahren- berg, one of the crack civilian pilots ot the Aerotransport Com- pany, Sweden's national flying concern, which maintains inland and foreign air routes. The route will go from Stock- holm over Bergen in Norway, to Reykjavik, in Iceland, where a fuel depot will be se ablished in advance. Similar depots will be put up in Greenland, probably at Julianehaub, and at some lake in the Province of Quebec, From Cananda Captain Ahrenberg ex- pects to make the final flight direct to New York, arriving at his destination some 56 hours after his take-off in Stockholm, On his flight he plans to use a Junker amphibian plane, specially built at the Swedish Flying Indus try Company's plant in Malmoe, under Junker patents. Aside from himself, the machine will - carry a mechanician, who also will serve as radio operator, and possibly a third person. In outlining the proposed ven- ture, which probably will take place during June or July of this year, Captain Ahrenberg states b6.--An air in the Stockholm papers that he does not intend to break any rec- ords "of speed or sustained flight. His purpose is to investigate the chances of establishing an air line from Stockholm to New York} in other words, retracing in the op- posite direction the route which the Swedish-American flyer, Bert Hassel, tried to blaze last year. At home the flyer is known as the "Lindbergh of Sweden', hav- ing made several propaganda flights around the country to stimulate interest in civil aviation. Last summer he spent five months on such a tour, making 2,338 as- cents and carrying over 10,000 passengers on short trips. These flights were staried from primitive fields in most cases and in all kinds of weather, The proposed flight has created a tremendous interest in Sweden, and the route which Captain Ahrenberg will follow has con- vinced aviation experts of the soundness of his plan, Thus, Cap- tain Carl Florman, president of the Aerotransport Company, and one of Sweden's pioneer airmen, has expressed himself as confident that the venture will be a success. "Ahrenberg is wise in using an amphibian," he states in a news- paper interview, 'The reason why Hassel failed was largely due to the fact that he flew a plane which could not land on water. I be- lieve in the undertaking and I be- lieve firmly in Ahrenberg." Another optimistic view on the trans-Atlantic flight was offered by J. W. Sandstroem, of the gov- ernment meteorological and hydro- graphical bureau, who accompan- ied the Swedish Nobile rescue ex- pedition last year as weather ex- pert. '""Ahrenberg has better chances to succeed than any other flyer," says Mr, Sandstroem. "He intends to use an amphibian plane, and he expects to hop oft fn June or July, when there is but little danger of fog along the northern route, He should suc- ceed." : et -------- TARIFF STATEMENT PREPARED BY 6.M.A, Statement Unanimously Ap- proved by Canadian Manu- facturers' Association Halifax, N.S., June T--"If these underlying factors becomé less fav- orable, it will be increasingly diffi- cult for Canada to take a policy of lowering customs tariff rates ana eliminating other safeguards, in the face of rising tariffs and re- strictions throughout the world.' This is the keynote of a tariff state- ment prepared by the sub committus representative of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association, aaa unanimously approved at the asso- ciation's business session today. The improvement in 'agricultural and industrial conditions during the past three years is attributed, in part at least, by the association wo the following underlying factors, "general international recovery from the war, indirect influence of the prosperity of the United States, recent large crops. development of mining, and 'the cumulative effect of a deferred construction pro- gram."

The industry, mov- ing smoothly at present, is not sub- ject to boom or very serious depres- sions, Silver fox pelts are quickly absorbed by a rapidly increasing market, and new markets are con- stantly opening in Canada, the Un- ited States, Europe and South Am- erica. Most: of the money derived from this business comes from other parts of the world. A large quantity of the meat used for feed is received from Toronto, but the greater part of the other feed is grown on the Island. The Canadian National Silver Fox Breeders' Association, a Dominion- wide organization with headquarters at Summerside, P.E.I,, inspected 58,- 000 silver foxes from coast to coast last year. The Association has a membership of more than 6,000, Live foxes sold in Prince Edward Island last year from $300 to $1,- 500 per pair, Most of the ranches are privately owned, joint stock companies opera- ting only about twenty per cent. of them. A number of mink ranches are also located in Prince Edward Island. 25 Albert St. Lumber! TATE snbert] Everything in Lumber and Building Materials COURTEOUS AND QUICK SERVICE W. J. Trick Co., Ltd.

Handley Page received the award six years ago, and since has regu- larly paid tax on the income trun the amount, but now demand is made on the principal. "This is an intolerable position," declared Page Friday. "I could have sold my designs abroad for an enormous amount, but the Gov- ernment said it would compensate me later. So we broadcast designs and everything else in order to help the United States win the war, and our award was $200,000--in- adequate, but I accepted it, If the HARDWOUD FLOORS LAL) BY EXPERT MECHANICS | 014 floors finished like mew Storm windows, combination doors.
