Westbound left turns will be prohibited at Eglinton Ave. and Winnett Ave. and left turns will be prohibited for eastbound and southbound traffic at Eglinton Ave. and Park Hill Rd. Northbound left turns will be prohibited at Eglinton Ave. and Flanders Rd. Our present Child Welfare Act legislates for such a prevention program. It is urgent that we convince the public of the need to spend the money to put this law into operation." _ When will we learn that an' _ ounce of prevention is worth a pOund of cure? It is ironic that the medical costs for a couple of years' special care for one disturbed child spent a few years earlier to relieve the terrible grind of poverty for the whole family, might have saved the situation entirely. A detour road will be built to carry Eglinton Ave. W. traffic over the site of the construction of the William R. Allen expressway. There must be facilities to take babies-not just older children. Help for young mothers with several small children trying to cope on an inadequate income is equally important. That the lack of facilities is definitely not confitted to one small area is made apparent in the following excerpt from "Our Children", a publication from Metro Children's Aid Society: "One of the most vital problems not yet solved is finding ways to help more families before children require removal from their own homes. A most urgent need is for more adequate day care for children whose mothers work. A few months ago we brought to the attention of our readers the crying need for day care centres in the borough of York. Specifically, we were hoping that a centre would be incorporated into a new public school for the George Syme area. A letter from the Cradelship Creche, a United Appeal agency providing nursery service, appears on this page underlining the still urgent situation.

Bob Hewitt, F oxwell Street far too few In January, I917, a Royal Flying Corps advance group arrived in Toronto to lay the foundations for a system of H. Strachan lnce and F. Homer Smith, both of Toronto. By the end of the year fifty more successful candidates had earned their wings at Long Branch. the Royal Flying Corps or Royal Naval Air Service. The first two graduates passed their final tests on July ll, I915. They were In May, 1915, the flying school acquired facilities at Long Branch for training students on wheeled aircraft, and Canada's first "aerodrome" came into being. It became possible for the first time for aspiring combat pilots to receive flying training in Canada. The site is now occupied by the grounds of Ontario Hydro's Lakeview Generating Station. Here the student who had successfully undergone training at Hanlan's Point graduated to the "Jenny", and after a total of some seven hours' flying was generally considered ready to attempt the test for a pilot's certificate. The test was administered by the Aero Club of America, and by modern standards was quite rudimentary. The total cost to the dtudent was $400, of which about $300 was reimbursed if he enlisted in This group of working mothers, as well as other two-parent families in the George Syme area, are attempting to maintain a family on a very limited income. Their day care needs, obviously, should be Toronto: Soon afterward the firm established a base near Hanlan's Point, where primary flying instruction was given in Curtiss F-type flying boats. Like the factory, the school was under the management of John A.D. McCurdy, who in 1909 had been the first Canadian to fly. Moreover, Credleship Creche can accommodate only fifty-five (55) pro-school children in the ege renge from two-end-o-half through five years.

Here the new entry spent eight weeks receiving instruction in wireless, navigation and artillery "spotting" before undergoing flying training at Armour Heights, Leaside or one of the two schools at Deseronto. Final training was carried out at the School of Aerial Fighting, opened at Beamsville in the spring of l9l8. The first flying units of the Royal Flying Corps., Canada, whose creation was authorized at the end of 1916, were based at Long Branch, but owing to its muddy terrain the flying school's days were numbered. In June, 1917, its aircraft was transferred to Armour Heights and Leaside, which together constituted the North Toronto Wing, and on July 14 the Cadet Wing took over ' Long Branch from "Y" Squadron. recruiting and training in Canada. Flying field sites were selected at Camp Borden, Leaside, Armour Heights and Deseronto, and the facilities at Long Branch were taken over and considerably enlarged. The plant oh Strachan Avenue was acquired by the Imperial Munitions Board,' and its equipment soon moved into a new plant on Dufferin Street which covered six acres of ground.
