In those days reeruits for the air services of the navy and the army were trained in the neighbourâ€" hood of Toronto, and airplanes in flight over, or near the city were a common spectacle. _ Since the war aviation in Canada has withdrawn to a large extent from the more thickly populated sections of the country. Some few machines, of course, have given exhibition flights and taken pasâ€" sengers on brief trips aloft. The Royal Canadian Air Force has carâ€" ried out its training mainly at Camp Borden. It has also performed a variety of services for civilian deâ€" partments of the Federal Government. but in doing so its pilots and machâ€" ines have usually operated over sparseâ€" settled territory. The Ontario Govâ€" ernment‘s airplanes and seaplanes have done usful work in the proteceâ€" tion of forests in the northern part of the Province and in the surveying of timber resources there. Privately owned commercial planes, too, have expedited and facilitated the labours of prospectors, lumbermen, engineers,. ‘*‘T‘wenty branches of the new Canaâ€" dian Air League have been formed in as many cities of the Dominion, and eighteen eclubs have been organized in the country to promote eivilian flying. The Dominion (Government has offered to assist clubs of this kind to provide themselves with light airplanes for inâ€" structional and other purposes. The Government, too, has just issued reguâ€" lations under which operators of comâ€" mercial and pleasure airplanes may make use of such airports as the one at Rockeliffe near Ottawa and thke one being prepared near Montreal. During the war there was no centre| has bee that showed as much interest, comâ€"| haps tl paratively speaking, in the air service | exploit as did the town of Timmins. _ At| longâ€"di one time this district had as many as| year or 70 men on active work with the air| Europe foree. SNince the war, interest has| in the perhaps discontinued to some extent.| steps h ltecently, however, there has been a} Canadi revival of interest in airship work.) ion GHov As noted in The Adavnee some weeks ) tlfe ex: ago, a flying elub was formed here to | Ggeat _ take up the new plan proposed by thei pular Dominion Government in regard to commereial airship work. In this conâ€" nection, the following editorial from The Toronto Mail Empire may be {'l of interest : | TWENTY BRANCAESG OF NEW CGANADIAN AIR LFAGUE Also Eiighteen Air Clubs. Timmins Among the Centres Showing Inâ€" terest in Plan. The following letter from Mr. Brock Smith, of ‘The Border Cities star, Windsor, Ont., to Mr. W. 0. Langdon, secretary Timmins Board of Trade, explains itself and should make interesting reading: Windsor, Ont., Dec. 30, 1927 W. 0. Langdon, Esq., secretary Timmins Board of Trade, Timmins, Ont. Dear Sir:â€"Some weeks ago in an interview with you in your office I broached the subject of includinz in the Essex County tourists‘ guide book for 1928 a section devoted to Northern Ontario, giving road maps, logs, ete. I talked to several up there and they believed that it would be a good idea. Of course, every part of such} a book must finance itself, and for that reason, it would be necessary to obâ€" tain some advertising from Timmins and the North Country generally, in order to put the proposition across, The Essex County â€" Automobile Club‘s guide book is invaluable far the purpose of drawing tourists to the Northland, because a great major ity of the American auto travelers enter Canada at Windsor, where the club‘s offices are situated. Most of them call at tWe club on entering Canâ€" ada and are provided with the guide book. If the North Country, and esâ€" pecially Timmins, is well spoken of in and the North Country order to put the propos The Essex County Club‘s guide book is i Road Maps, Logs, Etc., of Ferguson Highway to be Given in E§sex County Tourists‘ Guide Book.

Thus aviaâ€" tion in Canada has developed on lines different from those followed in Great Britain and other European countries where air lines for the earriage of pasâ€" sengers and freight between great cities have been established. ‘_For some reason a movement has now been started in Canada to bring aviation out of ithe solitudes where it has been proving its usefulness. Perâ€" haps the reason is to be found in the exploits of transatlantic and other longâ€"distance fliers during the past year or the increase in air travel in Europe or the sucecess of the air mail in the United States. At any rate, steps have been taken to organize a Candian Air League, and the Dominâ€" ion Government has decided to follow tlle example of the Government of Giteat Britain and do somethmg to flying as a sport.‘‘ hands of no less than 80,000 persons annually. This year the book may even reach a cireulation of 100,000. We would be pleased if you would place this matter before your board and secure their approval. If you don‘t mind doing it, you might also suggest it to the hotels and garages, and department stores and possibly restaurants, as they would greatly benefit by the influx of tourists which the guide would help in bringing to Timmins and the surrounding district. Yours very trulv, We have on hand a great deal of material which I gathered on a recent trip to the north, so that we can deâ€" seribe the country accurately, placing its advantages before the pw.\pectne visitor. Northern Ontario has more interâ€" esting features to offeéer than any other part of the province, but the tourist who hasn‘t been there doesn‘t know it: I didn‘t know it until I went up there myself.
