Trustee Thomas D. Thomas said original plans for the school called for Adelaide street to run by the playfground, but recent investigations showed 26 houses planned in a strip between the road and the school. We've received complaints in the past when schools have been fronted by rows of houses and we've usually ended up having to pay for fences to be erected," he said. "Such a move would also spoil the beauty of this very expensive school."

Thus, the accent in flying is very much on safety, says George Slocombe, secretary- manager of the Oshawa Flying Club Right from the beginning the trainee pilot is ordered to "get to know your plane'. Before every flight the pilot makes a thorough inspection of his air- craft Although a few females are interested in flying, says Mr. Slocombe, they dén't have the same interest as males.

"When taking lessons you pay as you go and it would cost $11.50 for the plane and $3 for the instrucfor,"' he said. '"'When the studem flys solo it only costs him the $11.50 "If the student doesn't com- plete the course in 12 months because of financial or other reasons, then he must do 45 hours of instruction instead of 35," said Mr..

"Turn the stick,' he is told, "in the direction you want to go and that's all there is to it." He tries it. It works. And back he comes.
