Editor Flying Over Atlantic (Continued from Page 1) New York, is surely one of the most beautiful and appropriate buildings in the world. The entrance is a semi- circle of inch-thick doors of plate glass or one of the new plastics. In- ide the doors, the passenger ascends by a moving stairway into a great blue dome studded with stars. Circl- ing across the dome are signs of the zodiac and a bronee man with wingi on his back. Not until the traveller reaches the top of the stairs does he see the offices of the various airways <*ompanies almost ridden around the horizon. When the time comes to go, large motor buses rise through the floor at the rear of the 'building, coming up from deep cellars, and the trans- Atlantic passengers are hurried away hy tunnels and roads to the airport. The Dixie Clipper rides at anchor in the bay. It looks exactly like a whale with wings. The wlngi seem inadequate not at all the kind or size of wings that one would expect a whale to grow if it had to fly 4,000 smiles or more in the next two days. But the four big Wright motors look efficient enough to drive their threo- bladed propellers indefinitely. A Six-Roomed House With Wings Fifty-five passengers left New York in the Dixie Clipper that day but more than half of them stayed in Bermuda. They sat around in six rooms, most of them large enough for ten persons, for the Clipper is as large as a house inside, and upstairs the eleven men of the crew sat around dn another room which the passeng- ers never saw. It took 20 minutes to get the Dixie Clipper off the water. It taxied back and forth over the bay while the pilot tried the feel of the wind against the winjrs and manoeuvered for the long- est run over the water. Once we pass- ed three Undo Sam's nf-w motor tor- pedo boats, each one with two mach- ine (run turrets and four torpedo tubes. We were almost touching one of New York's marvellous 'bridges before f/e finally started down the bay at full speed. Spray flew up over the little square windows and soon the slap-slap of the waves against the bottom of trie hull grew less violent and then disappeared and the Clipper was in the air. It circled over the edge of New York twice, gaining height, and then turned east over the marshes and swamps and then the broad Atlantic. Two ships were nearing the coast. After that, nothing but wave,g and clouds in every direction. Wonderland Above the Clouds Flying the Atlantic, as I said be- fore, is pure magic. On does not realize it at first. Flying was not a new sensation to me. I had been doing it for 20 years in planes large and small, but never for more than a few hours at a time. This was differ- ent. I sat on a sofa with two others. One was a young American girl who had saved her money for a luxury holiday in Bermuda: the other a De- troit newspaper man returning to Europe, The plane was heated and air-conditioned, Even the wall cov- ering added to the feeling of luxury for it was a tapestry with maps of the continents and oceans. Dinner con- sisted of consomme, chicken salad- ice cream and ooffe. All these thing* were mere maV made attempts at comfort. The real magic was outside the windows. Every time I looked out, the long, slender, pointed wing was still there with its two whirring propellers. Far down below us were the clouds, for we flew at 6,000 to 8,000 feet where the air is still and there are few bumps. It was fortunate that we had clouds all the way across. The Atlantic, seen from that height, grows desperately monotonous when the air is clear but clouds are always changing shape and color. The sun set behind a distant row of thick clouds which looked like a far-off mountain ran^c. A long path of yellow light stretched over the whiteness of the nearby clouds. They looked like masses of spun sugar candy. As the sun dropped away, the sky flamed with color. In three-quar- ters of the dome of heaven, it was already night, but out in the west the full range of the spectrum stretched across the sky, brilliant red at the horizon going up through the yellows and the blues to the deep indigo of night overhead with a few stars al- ready brightly shining. Lightning Around the Wings Nearing Portugal, we met a high thunderstorm. This time, the Clipper seemed unable to rise above it. The clouds were close around and often we were in them, like a thick fog. The lightning was around us, too, sometimes just beyond the winjrs, but there was no sound of thunder above the roar of the motors. It was bumpy, too, and for the first time, two ladies felt sick and strapped themselves to their seats. For some others, men and women alike, it was just a new and enjoyable sensation. At nitrht, the steward made up the berths. That was after we had left Bermuda.

FISHER, Flesherton m CANADA The PRICE CEILING ORDER IS NOW LAW A fine of $5,000 and 2 years imprisonment is provided for offences against this law . What You Must Do to Comply With the Law 1. At a Consumer You must not buy goods ,< services for more than the highest price charged for such goods or services during the basic period, September 15 to October 11. If in doubt, ask your merchant for proof the price he asks is a lawful price under the Price Ceiling order. Normal seasonal price changes .in fresh fruits and vegetables and greenhouse product* are exempt. 2. As a Retailer _ You must not sell goods or services for more than the highest price at whick you sold such good or services in the basic period. September 16 to October 11. You must not buy goods or services from manufacturer* or wholesalers or any other sources for more than the highest price you paid to them in the basic period. It is intended that cases of serious hardship should be adjusted by reducing the cost of merchandise to the retailer. Retailers whose cout of merchandise delivered to them after November 30 4s too high in relation to the ceiling prices, should get in touch with their suppliers and try to arrange an adjustment fair to both parties. The price of goods of a kind or quality not sold during the basic period msut not be more than the highest price charged for substantially similar goods in the basic period. **dl 3. A a Wholesaler You must not sell goods or services at more than your highest price (leas discounts then prevailing) for such goods or services during the basic period, Septem- ber IB to October 11. You must not buy goods or services for more than the highest prices paid during the basic period. Wholesalers will be expected in some cases to reduce their prices below the ceiling in order that their retail accounts may carry on. Wholesalers m turn may have to ask their suppliers for priee reductions. The continued flow of goods through normal channels is ojf the utmost import- ance and the Board will intervene if suppliers divert business normally from one customer to another. 4. As a Manufacturer You must not soil at prices higher than your highest price (less discounts then prevailing) during the basic period, September IB to October 11. In some cases it wall be necessary for manufacturers to reduce their prices below the ceiling go that wholesale and retail accounts may carry on. Where the maintenance of the retail ceiling requires manufacturers' prices to be substantially reduced, the Board will investigate and in proper cases will afford necessary relief. Import* Retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers are assured by the Board that any considerable increases in the costs of import of essential goods will be covered either by subsidies or by adjustment of taxes. Details will be announced shortly. Services Also Come Under This Law The Price Ceiling law also applies to rates and charges for electricity, gas, steam heat, water, telegraph, wireless, telephone, transportation, provision of dock, harbour and pier facilities; warehousing and storage; manufacturing processes per- formed on a commission or custom basis; undertaking and embalming; laundering; cleaning, tailoring, dressmaking; hairdressing, bartering and beauty parlour services; plumbing, heating, painting, decorating, cleaning and renovating; repairing of all kinds; supplying of meals, refreshments and beverages; exhibiting of motion pictures. NO CHEATING OR EVASION OF THE PRICE CEILING LAW WILL BE TOLERATED "How the Price Law Works," a pamphlet setting forth how each branch of business must apply the regulations to its own operation will shortly be available at Post Offices and Branch Banks. The Board will soon open Regional Offices throughout Canada where problems may be discussed. These Offices will co-operate with business in the adjustment of difficulties. The Price Ceiling law is vital to Canada's war effort. PUBLISHED UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE WARTIME PRICES AND TRADE BOARD Ottawa Canada then and room for them all to sleep. I had one of the worst positions up close to the wing and number three and four engines but the bed was comfortable and there was a rhythm to the noise that was soothing, so I slept well. Outside the window there was a tiny sliver of new moon and the very bright stare. Magic Doean't Always Work Yei, flying the Atlantic is magic, but sometimes in the hands of hard- headed Americans the magic goes wrong. We should have left New York on Tuesday morning and have been in Lisbon on Wednesday night. Rut number four engine wasn't be- having too well even before we left New York. Out of Bermuda six hours, the Clipper turned back because of 1m d weather ahead. On the second try, we reached the Azores, but aft*r landing there for more gasoline, the ailing engine died as we were op- posite the last islands of the group and we turned back to Horta, where the Atlantic Clipper came along and picked us up, taking us the rest of the way. Even food ran short at last before we dropped down out of the darkness on to the Tagus River at Lisbon on Friday night. We had been 47 hours in the air, instead of the usual 29, and had done some 2,500 extra miles of flying. And the next morning, we were in the air again, this _t inn> headed for England.
