U.S. Gives Aid In Power Break TORONTO (CP) -- The United States power commission has ap- proved 1 porary export of from 80,000 to 100,000 kilowatts of U.S. power to cope with Ontario's sud- Lden shortage, officials of the On- tario hydro-electric power commis- sion said Wednesday. The shortage was caused by the closing of the 400,000-kilowatt Rich- ard L. Hearn generating plant this week after two of its four gener- ators were wrecked by explosions and fire. First of two temporary lines be- tween Ontario Hydro and Niagara Mohawk is scheduled to start send- ing power into the province today. The second connection will be reach Monday. Three generators which stopped production due to minor mechan- ical difficulties at the old Toronto hydro plant at Niagara Falls, Ont., are back in service.

(CP) -- Albert Pow, 34, of this city, Canada's top glider pilot, is modest about his chances of winning the British Empire soaring competition in England this year. He will be Canada's only entry. The only prediction he'll make is that he expects 'to do better than in Spain' where, in 1952, he placed 32nd out of 38 who finished the international competition. "In Canada we have no pilots of | and experience re-| quired for international competi- | tion," he said. There are only 13 pilots in Can- ada who hold the silver C certifi- cate required for international competition. FEW ENTHUSIASTS There are few glider enthusiasts | in Canada-- about 300 altogether-- and only about 40 gliders. The initial -outlay on a sailplane--$3,- 000 to $4,000 for a new one--is be- yond the reach of many, although the upkeep cost is small and there's no gasoline to buy. Other countries have been using gliders fo. years as part of their air force training programs and have de- veloped fine pilots. Pow, a stocky, sandy - haired manufacturer of display signs, started gliding in 1943 with a Tor- onto club. He is one of the few enthusiasts in Canada who has a private interest in a glider; he owns half a Sweizer 1-23, Most other gliders belong to clubs. Although the craft used are known to the public as "'gliders" enthusiasts have their own ter- Muinclogy and differentiate between types. Pow says his ship is a "sail- plane" and he 'soars. A sailplane, he explained, "high- performance" glider that can lift itself on winds and air|for lift on upward currents of currents once it is off the ground. is a tow from an airplane, A glider is a training craft that is towed up and simply glides down. It cannot use air currents effi- ciently enough to travel any great distance. i SOARING RECORD Pow last year set a Canadian aistance soaring record, travelling 265 miles from Swift Current, Sask., to Ray, North Dakota, in seven hours. A soaring pilot gets his start by auto or winch and, once in the air, relies warm air-- called thermals-- or 29%: SIMCOE ST. S.

MEMBERS OF TEAM Pow will be accompanied by vice- and a Mr, Pound of St. John's Nfld. ground crew. Ty says that both soaring and the RCAF would benefit if student Pilots were given their early train- gx on gliders. For the cost of putting one man through on pow- the RCAF could put through 20 on gliders. The saving could both in money and in life. The Soaring Association of Canada has never had a fatal accident. The association supervises Cana- dian soaring meets which are held at least once a year with Kitch- ener, Ont, and St. Eugene, Ont., favored spots."It also lays down regulations for safety and air- worthiness.
