i I Wednesday, April 5, 1939 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE 1^ Completing the Picture of a Golden Wedding Mrs. Allen Quickfall, of Bridgeport, Ont., had just arranged a huge bouquet of Chrysanthemums, their Golden Wedding Remembrance from assembled chil- dren and grandchildren, when the telephone rang. It was a call from Kindersley, Sask., and the voice of Roy, her son, greeted her. What a surprise on such a day! Mrs. Quickfall writes: "We like to pass on to other sons and mothers the value and satisfaction to be obtained through the medium of telephone contacts, particularly so when the dear ones are scattered over the country." • Why wcit for a Golden Wedding? Next time there is a family celebration call up by Long Distance. Make it a real surprise. And remember this, it costs so little, you too, uM be surprised!

Miss Bertha Boyd of Hamilton vis- ited for a week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Boyd. Mrs. Maude Hill held a very suc- cessfud auction sale on Thursday last. It was a very large sale, commencing at twelve o'clock noon and not ending until eight o'clock at nighty and under the hammer of Auctioneer Duncan. Large prices were realized. On Friday evening about one hund- red friends and neighbors invaded the home of Mrs. Maude Hill to spend a few hours with her before her de- parture from our midst. At the mid- night hour Mrs. John Eagles read an address and Mrs. Gordon Hill pre- sented her with a purse of money. Mrs. Hill responded very fittingly and thanked all present. "Ever heard this one?" asked one of the group sitting around the camp fire. "A dog was tied to a rope four- teen feet long. Twenty feet away was a fat, juicy bone. How did the dog get to the bone?" f- NOTICE I have opened up the Canadian Oil Service Station at the south end of this village and am prepared to do your repairing, greasing and oiling.

Union Stock Yards -:- WEST TORONTO, Ont- Splendid Trip fo Vancoiver By Hir (By Agnes C. Macphail, MJ>.) This week we suffer from an em- barrassment of riches including the trans-Canada flight, the Eastern Can- ada agricultural conference at Mont- rtal, an outstanding debate on foreign policy, the completion of trade agree- ments and the forecasting of new leg- islation. It is impossible to deal with it all. But we start with the flight. Quite apart from the novelty of flying to Vancouver and back in an incredibly shoit space of time, the importance of it to Canada justifies putting it first. Once more space has been eliminated and the evolution of transportation has taken a great stride forward. Some people still living will remember the whole trans- ition, from foot travel to ox-carts, stage coach, railways trains, auto- mobile to airplane. Mail service. trans-Canada, has been in effect for some time, but the carry- ing of passengers started only on April 1st. In the week or two prev- ious to that a number of good will flights were arranged by Hon. C. D. Howe, Minister of Transport, to whom great credit is due in the initiation and administration of the service. People from the 'West Coast were brought to Ottawa and representa- tives of the Eastern provinces, the Parliament of Canada and the Press Gallery (no senators went) were flown to the Pacific, with civic re- ceptions, broadcasts, interviews and photographs at both ends. Only having been in the air (in an airplane) once before, I was antici- pating with a great deal of excite- ment and pleasure the take-off at ten p.m., March 24th. But so many un- foreseen incidents intervened â€" a busy day, a late birthday dinner, a de- layed start for the airdrome, a wrong turning (the roads have not yet been marked) doubtful driving between snow banks at least ten feet high, an almost impossible turning of the car, a flat tire, a long run on foot to the main road again, the hailing of a car and a final arrival â€" that I sank into the comfortable seat of the plane with my only sensation that of relief. The take-off, when it came, brought 'joy, to be above the snow, past all the bother of starting. Each time the plane takes to the air one gets a sense of power, a lift to the spirit, comparable to driving a powerful mo- tor car, but much more so. While the ship taxis down the long run-way before it turns into the wind, to be off, there is a decidedly uncomfort- able sensation of leaning too far backward, but as we leave the ground the tail comes up and we feel on even keel again. Ottawa lay beneath us like a jewel. Gerry McGeer, Les Mutch and I, the three M.P.'s on board, looked for the Parliament Buildings and there they I were, a little cluster of lights in the black oasis of their lawns. Tommy "Wayling and Evelyn Tufts, represent- ing the press gallery, with us ex- claimed over the beauty of the lighted Champlain Bridge and the Driveways. But, in a moment, the swift silver ship had swept us beyond the Capital City and, straight as the crow flies, we were on our way to Vancouver, a distance of two thousand, three hundred and one air miles. Looking around the plane I found it was built very much like a bus, only narrower; one passenger to each seat with a narrow aisle down the centre, with small racks above not sufficiently large enough to hold lug- gage or coats, bot each passenger had a pocket on the wall, just like a door pocket in a car. The stewardess came around offering to wrap us up in lovely soft blankets. Our coats had all been put away on hangers in the .stern or tail. She was a very attractive girl, with a French accent, so slight that Mr. Mutch said to me: "It may be accent or it may be charm," and then to her: "How sick does one have to be to get attention?" Quito soberly she asked, "Are you sick?" She then gave us gum to chew. We were instructed to chew it when arising or soming down to help the ear drums to adjust to the changing air pressure. Then, before I am accustomed to it, we arc at North Bay where, unfor- tunately, we lose Commander Ed- wards, who is on his way to Toronto, and pick up Mayor Day, Ontario's representative, who proved to be a popular and interesting addition to the party. Everybody liked him. A little sleep. The very comfort- ably padded chairs tilt to a reclining position. About 1.20 a.m. the stew- ardess gave us a light lunch: a tang- erine, a cheese sandwich and coffee. The coffee woke us all up. I recom- mended ovaltine for a middle-of-the- night drink. It was snowing and sleeting a bit and the wing* and tail were coated, making it necessary to come down on the emergency landing field at 'Wagaming for de-icing and refuelling. And, after that, only two stops ot Vancouver. At Winnipeg Mr. Les Mutch, M.P., was happy to see his wife and eleven- year-old daughter at the airport at 4.20 a.m. our time. I had the pleas- ure of meeting and being photograph- ed with the Mutch family. There, in Leslie's stead, we picked up the Hon. John Bracken, Premier of Manitoba, who was perturbed that clouds be- j twoen us and the earth preventpd us • from seeing the checkerboard of the We never caught a glimpse and the fog kept us from landing at Kegina, which is the usual practice, but just before reaching Lethbridge we had a peek at Alberta, and did not "sit down" again until we arrived at Vancouver's famed airport. The air was very bumpy going over the mountains and to get out of it the man at the controls climbed to an altitude of sixteen thousand feet to cross the Selkirks and then dropped to fourteen thousand feet over the Coast Range. At such an elevation one does not move around. The head is giddy, the same affect as cham- pagne, the stewardess said, and one breathes consciously, not gaspingly or uncomfortably, just breathing and looking at the mountains is enough. As we got near Vancouver, the low- er ail- cleared and we saw below us the magnificent panorama of the Era- ser Valley. And then Vancouver: its green grass and spring flowers and eager, friendly crowd to welcome us. It seemed impossible to believe that only fourteen hours before we had left the winter and snow of Ottawa. Well, first, soap and water, and lots of it. On landing nothing interested us very much. 'Why should we have felt so travel-stained sailing through the clear, upper air ? We did anyway and our scrubbing delayed the civic luncheon. By the time everyone present had made a speech on the wonders of the flight â€" the miracle flight as it was called, and the beauty of Vancouver, the excellence of their M.P.'s, espec- ially Gerry, it was four o'clock and it felt by some misadventure that we were back in the Commons again, hearing speeches and more speeches. But, no. 'We were going driving, through Stanley Park, and following the luscious spring beauty along the sea. buying flowers at flower stalls. Or having them given, seeing China- town, the marvellous C.N.-C.P. hotel and Gerr's magnificent City Hall and then to bed. After a delightful Sunday on which everyone was on his own, we left at ten minutes to seven in the evening and arrived in Ottawa the next day at twelve o'clock noon. The trip back was smoother and two hours shorter on account of the prevailing west wind assisting. Prepare Now! The warm weather is on its way.

Two clear impressions: the com- plete trust the passengers had in the mere youths who piloted the planes. Youth is certainly at the controls in the air and if we can so completely trust the highly trained and very •young in this element, why cannot we use their initiative, idealism and cour- age in the reconstruction of our soc- ial order? Youth wants to serve. A truer idea of success is coming. High pay and shoddy \7ork will no longer be good enough. The ground crews andthe air crews will be judged on their perfect performance, their absolute integrity, and nothing else will be success. Canadian unity will be served by this rapid transportation. The great distances which made one part of (Can- ada seem foreign to another are now wiped out. The amazement and de- light which the French - Canadian Montreal Alderman on our ship ex- pressed repeatedly over the grandeur of British Columbia and Vancouver indicates the effect of Canadians see- ing Canada.
