THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1979 Northern: Ireland: and Free State Join Forces to Attract Tourists Dublin, Sept. 10.--The Irish Free State is taking a leaf from Canada's notebook, She is luring the tourist trade. Travelling about the Irish Free State today, one hears little of the Sinn Fein rebellion, of the Black and Tans or the wave of crime that followed ratification of the treaty. Now and again a fellow-traveller may point out the ruins of some buildings fired in the "trouble." But it is pointed out merely as an object of passing curiosity, as remi- niscent of some period that is bet: ter forgotten. Entering the Irish Free State i8 today almost as simple as entering one Canadian province from anoth- er. There is the exception of a very simple Customs examination. That is all. For both the Irish Free State and Northern Ireland are out to capture all the tourist trade they can. Each has its semi-official tourist association, and each, oddly enough, advertises the other free of charge. In the Irish Free State, the Irish Tourist Association has been recog- nized by the Free State Govern- ment as the authority to which mu- nicipalities may contribute. To it, 24 municipal and the 27 county councils in Munster, Leinster and Connaught give contributions tor . publicity work. The four county boroughs of Dublin, Cork, Limer- jek and Waterford add their quo- ta, as do a number of urban dis- trict counetils through the Free State. By maps, pamphlets, guide-hooks placed on incoming trans-Atlantic liners, distributed wherever there seems a chance of tourist trade, the Tourist Association is seeking to swell the tide. . $13,000,000 Revenue To Canadians accustomed to the tremendous flow of automobiles from the United States, the Free State tourist traffic will seem small. In the present season, it is estimated, tourists will bring into the Free State about $15,000,000, an increase of about 20 per cent over last vear. And year by year, the traffic grows. To facilitate it, the Governments, both 'of Northern Ireland<and the Irish {Free State, have made €us- toms examination as light as possi- ble alone the houndary, althougn motor traffic must cross hy certain approved roads.

By the few acres of clearing here and there, the old thatched cottages, gleaming white outside, dark and gloomy within, cluster thickly. They are the agricultural "slums" where, divided and sub- divided, holdings have become too small to afford anything more than a fitful livelihood. They cluster especially thickly in the Gaeltacht, where the old Gatelic of Ireland is still current speech. By acquisition or compul- sory purchase of lands elsewhere in the Free State, the Irish. Land Commission is endeavoring gradu- ally to weed out these slums oft he land. A tramway strike in Dublin has for a time, given new life to the old jaunting car and the cabby. But among the ever-increasing tax- is and motorbuses, they look like strange momentoes of a hilf-forgot- ten past. New Transport The jaunting car has lost its old jauntiness. It lumbers along sad- ly, a subdued and silent jarvey plying humbly for fares. Within the last five years, outside or jaunting cars plying in Dublin have dropped from 484 to 165. The first taxi only appeared on Dublin streets in 1924. There are now 328. The bus services of Dub- lin and suburbs carried 10,000, 000 passengers in the first six months of the present year, they carried nearly 17,000,000. As in other countries, motor hus traffic sweeps down the high- ways bringing new difficulties fon the Irish railways . The Great Southern . to reduce expenses, fis converting its Dublin-Galway line from double to single track. And if older means of transpor- tation are yielding to new, if tne picturesque jaunting car is driven from the streets by the taxi, so to the visitor is Ireland changing-- in another particular. The old Ireland was an Irelana of wrongs and suspicion. The new Ireland calls aloud its welcome. ONLY FIRST-CLASS BRAINS IN NAVY Admiralty Tees Order De- manding Higher Educa- tion on Enlistment London.--The British Navy is determined to have only the best for its personnel. New orders have just been issued by the Admiralty to naval recruiting officers throughout the country pointing out the. absolute necessity of can- didates being fully up to the educa- tional and intelligence standard before being sent up for their training course. "It must be realized," says the special letter, 'that the work of the stoker has changed considerab- ly since the days of coal-burning ghips. His intelligence and his ed- ucational" knowledge have to he much higher than in former -years, and it is essential that recruiting staff officers and recruiters should remember this. before classifying candidates as 'A' class. "Phere is no difficulty at the present moment In getting stokers of the right sort, and recruiting staff officers are to be careful that no man who appears dnll-witted vr CHAIN OF AIRPORTS FOR CANADA URGED Chembior of Commerce Re- port Outlines Need to Promote Aviation BRANCH ROUTES Findings Will be Tabled at Convention in Western Canada Montreal --*Is Canada to avail her- self of aviation for business purposes and for facilitating its commercial ac- tivities?" is a question asked at the beginning of an important report to be presented at the annual conven- tion of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce at Edmonton and Calgary in a few days. The report has been prepared by the Chamber's national committee on gviatioh, presided over by Brig.-Gen. H. Mitchell, C.B., CM.G, CE. of For an authority on the subject, the other members of the committee being G. H. Cottrell, Vancouver; George Fuller, Saskatoon; John Hun- ter, Winnipeg; D. B. McColl, Walk- erville; J. D. McKenna, Saint John; R.'J. R: Neilson, Halifax; Colonel J. Bruce Payne, Granby; G. C. Rooke, Regina; H. R. Stewart, Charlotte- town; A. H. Weaver, Calgary; A. W. Haddow, Edmonton. Close Analysis The report contains a close analy- sis of the state of commercial avia- tion in the Dominion and the world generally and arising out of these findings the committee makes a series of recommendations. In the first place, it is urged that the establishment should be effected of a main chain of airports across Canada from coast to coast and that certain of these should be provided by the Dominion Government and the others partly by municipalities and partly by private enterprise as may be found locally desirable. At certain points, it is urged, en- couragement and assistance should be given for establishing branch routes both north and south and for air route networks to bring into connec- tion the various regions which can economically be served by air, Civic Aid Municipalities, the report will state, should, as 'far as possible, provide their own air ports and landing fields but as commercial aviation develops, Government agencies should refrain from encroaching on the legitimate ficld of the private commercial agen- cies developing and conducting air transportation, Through the recommendations runs the belief that Canadian enterprise and labor should be utilized. Onc pa- ragraph reads, "Every encouragement should be given to Canadian systems, controlled by Canadians and 'manned by Canadian personnel" and another asks "that the industries connected with the business of aviation both in operation and apparatus, be in every way encouraged as Canadian enter- prises, looking forward to the time when our aviation requirements will be manufac tured in our own country.' It is declared that too much em- phasis cannot be laid on the princi- ple of Canada for the Canadians in air transportation, Business Courage : "If we have not all the financial re- sources we should like, or that are necessary for carrying commercial aviation through the carly and diffi- cult stages of development, we do know that we have men in this coun- try equipped with a national business courage and we know too that we have an able flying personnel among our Canadian aviators. ; A description follows of the posi- mnintelligent is entered.

Germany is seen to be lead- ing the countries of Europe, 'planes flying about 40,000 miles per day, while there are, 16,000 miles of or- ganized airways "under operation, In the United States, the report conti- nues, the ¢ are 21,000 miles of air- ways under operation, nearly half of which arc equipped with light for night flying and with the latest ac- cessories, such as telephones; radio and other gencral organization for directional control." "Of the 21,000 miles of airways in the United States, 17,000 are devoted mainly to carrying mails and the in- crease has been very rapid of late. One reason for this development has been a reduction of the letter rate to five cents to any part of the country. Another reason is that the wlifferent airway systems have been linked up and the country is really at net work of airways permitting between 70 and 80 per cent of the population to par« ticipate in the benefits of rapid mail service." Extended Area Canada is seen to be in a different situation from that existing in Eur- ope or the United States. "Our country is not rounded out or com- pact; it is stretched out over a long comparatively narow band. of oc- cupied area extending from coast to coast. It has this peculiarity, how- ever, in that the band is bordered on the south by the United States with its large population and great indus- trial resources, and on the north there exists our great unexplored Canadian hinterland with its bound- less possibilities of natural resources of land, forest and mine. "The commercial aviation problem which we therefore have tie us in Canada and the problem which the Canadian Chamber of Commerce dc- sires to co-operate in solving is, how can we best develop aerial transpor- tation in conjunction with land and water transportation to meet these geographical conditions?" 'It is not rational that the basis of Canadian aerial 'development should be a main trans-continental system ex- tending across Canada from coast coast, which sometime, in the not far distant future, in one or two years perhaps, may be an accomplished fact? The report goes on to Suggest that with a main arterial system across Canada, branch systems will develop not only in Canada itsclf but extend- ing over the border into the United States, The statement is made that some 52 air transportation companics are operating in Canada today and the miles flown per annum have increased in eight years from about 400,000 miles to 3,000,000. The company car- rving mails between Toronto and Montreal, a route of 300 miles, has 42 airplanes it is noted. : Yacht Laid Up Port Hope.--Evidence > the splen- did facilities afforded by Port Hope as a wintering place and fitting out point for marine craft is shown by the return of the yacht Condor, own- ed by Capt.

The vacht has been berthed in the same spot as it occu- pied last winter, on the west side of the inner harbor, and it is expect- ed that the work of housing her ag- ainst the winter weather will be com- pleted this week.

New York, Sept. 10.--The cause of and the remedy for seasickness have been discovered, according to Dr. B. Sydney Jones, who has been ship's surgeon for 36 years, on the eve of his retirement as chief sur- geon of the Cunarder Aquitania, a post he has held since 1919." In that time, he said recently, he has proved to his own satisfaction that mal-de-mer is the result of acidosis and acetonaemia, and he has work- ed out a treatment that has been more than 99 per cent success- ful. Dr. Jones has had his subject to seasickness who will; for one week before ship, "live a decent and quiet. life and take ordinary dietic and medi- cinal precautions against hyper- acidity" will have a perfect cross- ing, no matter what the weather. A rundown condition can make this difficult and the excitement attend- ant upon a first sea voyage may have a bad effect upon the diges- tion, but the remedy is simple and quick. ~ "Bon voyage parties should be avoided," Dr. Jones said. "Alecohol produces an acid condition and it is not surprising that persons who have been celebrating their depart- ure should react sadly to the move- ment of a ship." One old theory Dr. Jones takes a considerable delight in exploding is that a champagne diet by the woe-begone passenger lying wrap- theories | ped in his deck chair will drive away the maritime squeamishness. Instead of counteracting tue Exhaus- on tested by other scientists tive laboratory experiments Dr. Jones holds that any: person | hoarding a ocean's bughear, champage will no- ticeably aggravate the acid condi- tion and will delay a refurn to nor- mal. Some 111 Before Ship Sails. "Some persons are seasick short- ly after the ship sails; .some-even declare they are ill before the ship moves from the dock, and one pa- tient declared that a mere walking along the dock before embarking was sufficient to cause a feeling of nausea. It would seem likely that the sympathetic system may act-on one or more of the endocrine glands and so cause the fats to pe broken up into these substances ii- stead of carbon dioxide and water. At any rate, it is noteworthy that these cases respond very readily to intensive %lkaline treatment." Dr. Jones has no idea how many cases of seasickness he has treated in his 36 years, but he knows the only successful method has been the counteracting of the hyperacid- ity. Before he made his discovery there was little he could do for his patients. Now he can have his pas- sengers eating grapefruit or oran- ges within a few hours of receiving his intensive treatment.
