Mbp = bo? ah > YY nae LBL Le a The Golden Hawks, the RCAF's precision flying team, have started their 1961 series of perform- ances that will take them across Canada and to the United States. Flying gold, red and white Sabre jets, the team of highly skilled pilots will demonstrate both formation and solo aerobatics. At rear, left to right: F/L E. J. Rozdeba, 29, of Bienfait, Sask., "slot"? man in the formation flying and a Golden Hawk of 1959 and 1960; F/L B. R. Campbell, 29, of Almonte, Ont., who flies right wing; S/L J. D. McCombe, 28, of Fredericton, N.B., the team's leader and also a Golden Hawk of 1959 and 1960, and F/L Lloyd J. Hubbard, 38, of Delia, Alta., who flies left wing. Front row: F/L John L. Frazer, 29, of Vancouver, team spare; F/O Bob Dobson, 25, of Regina, the commen- tator for the team's performances. F/O W. C. Stewart, 27, of Dalhousie, N.B., lead solo and another Golden Hawk for the third year, and F/L A. F. McDonald, 32, of Barrie, Ont., also a solo per- former. -- RCAF Photo Ali Means of Travel For Census Neither wind, nor rain, nor flood, nor gale -- can biock the course of the Canadian census. The census taker may be slowed down, , but he eventually gets through. Canada's geography poses many problems that must be considered during the planning of a census. Isolated trappers of the north, fish- ermen along the lonely Newfound- land coastlines, resident of treach- erous Sable Island -- all must be reached by the census taker. Pack horses, jeeps and farm Taker tractors wili have to be used in some isolated areas, where census takers must know the country or be supplied with a guide. Almost every type of water transportation from lobster boats and river barges to canoes and power boats -- will be brought into play some- where in Canada. Planes may have to be chartered to reach people in some isolated areas, as in previous censuses. They cost less than sending two men -in. a canoe for a -two- week trip. But census taking, even in iso- lated areas, can be very pedest- rian. In many cases, the final ap- proach will have -to be on foot. : The geography of Canada's most westerly province will call for jeeps in the north, fishing boats and row boats along the coastline, and pack horses in the Finlay and Laird areas. Pack horses, by the way, can pose special problems. A census' taker 10 year ago claimed }- hay: and oats on his expense ac- count. Realizing horses just weren't on the payroll, the regional of- ficer checked. The explanation: a pack horse -- the only suitable means jot transportation -- had to be fed. Canada's most easterly province -- Newfoundland -- has_- almost Noon, E.D.S.T.

DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS ,1,100 communities scattered along al settlements, the sea is-the only. highway. and: boats the only means of transportation. Powered passen- ger boats, 30 to 40 feet in length, will. each serve as home for two crew members and two census takers, as the craft tie up in one settlement after another. Water transportation, especially in areas of Newfoundland. facing the broad, unsheltered ocean, is subject to the vagaries of wind and weather. "God willing and weather permitting', June will be a placid month. and. the. boat enumeration will be smooth sailing. But the month could be one of high winds and rough water, delaying the start and completion of the census tak- ing. And operations along the North East coast, even in June, could be hampered by ice. hes Boats will also play. an import- ant role in the- enumeration of Nova Scotia, especially- along the "; southern coast.

The enumeration of Sable Island will present a problem; the island, south-east of Halifax, jis noted for its treacherous currents that have caused many 'a wreck.

For- tunately, the only damage was to the aircraft. The pilot and census supervisor escaped with only a dunking -- and a scare. fees During the rainy weather in Al- berta and Saskatchewan, dirt roads turn into mud quagmires. When the going gets rough, four-wheel drive trucks. and tractors have to be used. During -one census, a' half- ton. pickup was stranded three weeks with census. documents. The census taker, in that 'case, walked nine milés and rode in again with a pack horse. ; Other difficulties are also en countered in reaching outlying set- tlements of Alberta and northérn Saskatchewan.
