perience and character from a large field of applicants the men were put through a rigorous course in six stages and very few failed to measure up to the standards demanded of them this is a tribute 2 think to our fttatwan airmen at the end of the year 1937 there were sixteen pilots three in the van couverseattle service two assisting with instruction four in advanced training and seven in training

it was by daylight and in good weather only and the postal matter was picked at random from the ordinary malls in march we flew 38 484 miles on the route between winnipeg and van couver the following month the flying mileage was increased to 82 176 occasional night flights were made between winnipeg and reglna the first two of the super electras or fourteens were received in may and by september we were in posses sion of thecomnlete complementpf ten preliminary surveys had been made of the route across northern ontario in february and by late summer we were making daily familiarization flights over this section the transcanada hanpt at win nipeg was occupied in august and the xethbrldge building completed september 1938 was an important month in the history of canadian transportation taking advantage of the coming of the tca the cana dian national express began sending shipments by air between winnipeg reglna and vancouver on the 10th this service was extended to the branch between lethhridge and ed monton in october and on the 17th of that month east to toronto ot tawa and montreal arrangements were made for traffic by rail to and from points not on the air

there is much to be done on the ground before com plete passenger and mall service ac- croas canada can be put into effect at is with profound regret that i record the accident which occ near reglna in november when a plane was destroyed and two pilots killed official inquiry was made in to the circumstances by a board ap pointed by the minister of transport and the findings bave been made public while ft does not diminish the seriousness of the happening i think it might be borne in mind that it was the first major accident in jearlytwonilllonmilearfflttogrdur lng a period of intensive training and of experimental work over s new air way with new equipment the tca planes are equipped with the latest instruments and other de vices for the elmlnation of hazard the pilots are well chosen and scruplously trained in the handling of the equip ment and before the takeoff every flight is scientifically planned i need hardly say that the first word in the policy of the transcan ada air lines is safety our lock heed super electras are fast enough to give transcontinental service as rapid as that of any other air line but before speed and regularity of schedules comes the comfort of pas sengers and before that their safety au our efforts are bent toward this end nothwithstandlng the encourag ing eagerness of the canadian people to see their new transportation sys tem in full operation as quickly as possible we could not jeel justified in be until we were ready un til every cog in the machine was per fectly adjusted home opportunities we all want to see our home town go ahead and make progress but are we all doing what we can to accom plish that result people may ask what they can do they may say they cant give big sums of money and es tabllsh needed institutions nor can they go out and induce some new in dustry to move in and provide more jobs there is one thing they can do which will help a great deal and that is to spend their moeny at home that builds up home town business and when home town business im proves it can employ more people and it can supply more complete stocks of goods also it ts able to pay more taxes which makes it possible for the town to keep adding improve ments back up the home stores if you want to see the home town go ahead ex our exchange might have added that the home town business men should also do their part to encour age local enterprise such as patroniz ing each other supporting the local newspaper which is the towns chief booster by doing a reasonable share of advertising through its columns this paper goes into the majority of homes in this district and is probably read by as many as qve thousand peo ple in scanning its pages every week they see who are the live wires who are boosting local enterprise and en deavor to attract business to the town the dominion department of agri culture with the assistance and co operation of the royal canadian mounted police is responsible for the supervision of betting on all race tracks in canada how new trade treaty effects farm products the new trade agreement between canada and the united states which came into operation on jan 1st pro vides many changes in tariffs on commodities passing from one country to another under the new agreement ca secures concessions on commodities exports of which to the united states in 1937 amounted to 8327506000 or approximately 63 per cent of the total canadian sales of 839440000 in that year of the 202 items on which concessions are made 120 represent reductions in duty- 41 the binding of the existing rate of duty and 32 a continuation of present free entry theeonceaalone to-oanadaon- mals and animal products are quite important the chief item is live cattle weighing 700 pounds or more under the 1936 agreement the duty cj this class of cattle was reduced rora 3 to 2 cents per pound subject to a quota of 156000 head the new agree ment provides for a rate of ik cents per pound and also raises the quota to 235 000 head the new quota will permit considerably larger shipments from canada when the price marigtn is favorable to export but will not be sufficient to depress prices in united states another important concession is calves in 1936 the duty was lowered from 2v to 1h cents per pound on a quota of 62000 head the 1 cent rate is continued and the quota is raised to 100000 head with the maximum weight limit changed from 175 to 200 pounds per head on cows specially imported for dairyng purposes the maximum concession of 50 per cent was given to canada by the united states in the 1936 agree ment irate of hi cents per pound but only 20 000 head were to be al lowed in at the low rate the quoa limitation has now been dropped and the 14 cent per pound rate will applv to all shipments in the new t theduties on live hogs and on fresh or chilled pork have been reduced by 50 per cent and the rate on certain cured pork not including canned pork and sausage lowered from 34 to 2 cents per pounds reciprocal con cessions on pork products were grant ed the united states by canada the duty on horses valued at not iore than 8150 per head was reduced from 30 to 20 per head in 1936 and has now been changed to 15 while the rate on those valued at more than 150 per head has been reduced from 20 per cent to i7vi per cent acquired rights over others property if lor instance the cornice

new national centre for safety education at new york university 1 start to school early enough so that you will not have to rush 2 plan the safest trip to and from school and follow it every day 3 always cross at the crossing never in the middle of the block 4 cross only wluv the safe lights 5 be alert at all times when cros sing the streets 6 obey the officer or safetypatrol boy on duty at the crossing 7 dont hitch rides or dart out onto the street from behind parked cars or hedges 8 play in safe places play grounds play streets vacant lots not on dan- serous streets 9 ride bicycles on the right side of roadways and obey traffic signals and stop signs 10 on rural highways always walk on the left facing traffic preventing farm fires it is well known that in canada every year losses due to farm fires amount to an enormous sum yet in many cases the damage to a certain extent might have been minimized or prevented by simple precautionary measures one precaution is not to put wet or uncured hay in barns nor to put dry hay in barns that have leaky roofs it is also risky to smoke in or around these buildings with regard to electric equipment it is dangerous to use fuses of too great amperage and no article should be used in place of a fuse care should be taken to see that lightning rods remain pro perly grounded and defective electri cal wlrng should be repaired promptly the use of kerosene or gasoline to kindle fires or quicken a slow fire has been responsible not only for many deaths on farms and just be cause there has never been a fire on the farm it is dangerous to neglect precaution under the belief that the buildings will never take fire insur ance gives an unwarranted sense of security but insurance cannot give compensation for all the financial losses and it cannot replace loss of life extreme care should always be taken in handling and using gaso line the gasoline containers should be tighly closed painted a bright red and labelled gasoline orange
