Above picture shows placé where John A. Wilson, railway conductor, lost his life TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON + ... ACCIDENT AT MOFFAT‘S SIDING First, let us use transâ€"Canada aif lines main airway from Moneâ€" ton to Vancouver as the main divâ€" ing line between north and south in Northern Canada. Operating from this line it is quite easily seen that many districts to the north must be opened up and can only be opened up by the intelligent use of aviation. The same can also be "said of many districts lying south of this line. But owing to the large areas covered, . the most practical way to utilize air transâ€" portation would be to zone the country north of this line into disâ€" tricts according to potentialities and arca per square miles. We divâ€" ide the‘territory into sections 300 miles wide and as far north as the Arctic boundry. Secondly, each one of these secâ€" tions to an operating company to be formed under a rehabilitation scheme. Let us take one of these territories as an example. The comâ€" pany would be formed by a group of returned service men. They would then make application to the Government for aircraft and equipâ€" ment... Under this plan the governâ€" ment would then survey the terriâ€" tory, would provide the operating company with the necessary equipâ€" ment under a mortgage authorized over a period of 10 years at 1%% interest. Arrangements would be made with the local bank or with the Industrial Develo%ment Bank for \vorkinfi capital. *The Governâ€" ment would place with each of these companies, a contract which would utilize 30% of the cargo, capacity of the company. Such capacity to be paid for in the same amounts as the ammortization fund, that is to say, a company that borrowed the equivalent or $30,000 repayable at $3,000, per year at 1%% would‘receive a conâ€" tract from the Government to carry mail or other governmental service to the extent of $3,000, but such contract not to demand over 30% of total capacity of equipment used, the carrying capacity of the equipment. From the 70% remainâ€" ing, the company would have to pay all operating costs, interest and profits. At the end of ten years the company would have its equipment fully paid for and would be on a sound operating basis, self susâ€" taining. Rodney Adamson on Air Lines Speaks of Mining Development The country should be di\'ided‘ into areas becauseâ€"such companies may be franchised to operate only: within that area and would not be allowed to operate in any other area, except under mutual agreeâ€" ment with the com'lylny licensed for that other area. This would eliâ€" minate transient operators and rate cutters. It would also allow operâ€" ator to ;))Ian for future. This plan properly put into efâ€" fect would mean that the Canadian Government would be wholly reâ€" sponsible for the development of the unexplored district to the north and would open up new territories for tourists and mining at a miniâ€" mum of cost. One great advantâ€" age of this would be that the large air lines to the south would imâ€" mediately take advantage of this opportunity by advertising travel to Canata throughout the areas served by them knowing that their passengers could leave their home airport and fly direct with one or two changes to the most remote part of Canada‘s north land. Gasoâ€" line caches would have to be esâ€" tablished, but could be done by the operating company at very little tost. The operator would know that its heavy Sfit of mortgage would be paid off regardless of weather and restricted flying conditions, etc. The government would utilize their 80% cargo space in mapping, i?hntognphing. mail carrying, fire fighting, etc., and would be the means of getting a lot of very imâ€" portant work immediately under way. The employment such a plan would create, can quite readily be geen. It would neceniugo ground crews, &ir engineers, ~éte., . and would place prospecting, lumbering parties, tourists camps, etc., in areas inaccessible at the present time. Without the slightest stretch of the imagination, this plan would not cost the government over $250,â€" 000 per year over 10 years operatâ€" ing and would be the means of lmlt"wo{ld”h necessary of course that should ahy certain territory develop rapidly, the operator in &é"vu;fi:: mining areas of untold value and develop millions of dolâ€" lars worth of employment and bring tourist money to Canada. North Country Will Be Opened Up With Air Transportation Across Canada And Lines Into The Mining Areaâ€"Presents Great Future that territory could arrange with any other franchised operator from any other territory for additional aircraft and equipment and if such equipment was deemed necessary by the department of transport or the air council, the immediate arâ€" rangement would be made by the government to add this necessary equipment under the terms of the original contract. All replacement of equipment would be under the terms of the original agreement and an operator may apply at any time for additional equipment the purchase of such equipment under this agreement would be approved by the air council or the Departâ€" ment. of _ Transport. â€" Passenger rates would be set by the air counâ€" cil as would also cargo rates per ton mile. Such rates would not be Dominionâ€"wide, but would be made to suit conditions in each specific district. As to light aircraft and landing strips now much talked of in the daily press, we believe that the Provincial ‘Government â€" through their Department of Highways are at present working on such a plan. Light aircraft and landing strips should be left entirely in their hands under the supervision of the Department of Air Regulations and the Department of Transport. The development of natural reâ€" sources of course is a Provincial perogative and transportation is a federal perogative. Under this plan coâ€"ordination could be quite easy between the . various Provincial bodies who ~would of course coâ€" operate under this scheme owing to its flexibility. OIL IN IRAN The British Angloâ€"Iranian Oil Company has produced more than 500 million gallons of 100â€"octane aviation spirit. The 500,000,000th gallon was made on January 8th, 1945. This quantity represents enough fuel to enable British Lanâ€" casters to drop more than 1% milâ€" lion tons of bombs on German territory.
