Canadians Turn to Florida for Carefree Winter Season The Moths have made themselves useful in still another capacity this year. On frequent occasions they have been used by officials to keep tab on the wanderings of tourist parties in the bush. One of these parties started from a point in Mississagi East, District of Algoma, without a permit (as reâ€" quired) from the Forestry Branch. A day later, the Chief Ranger, flying on a phone line survey, spotted their camp smoke on Graveyard Lake, zoomed down, landed, checked the crowd up, made them take out a permit, and threatened the guide with cancellation of his license if he ever "pulled such stuff" again. . Semiâ€"tropical Florida is again drawâ€" ing large numbers of Canadians for the winter season. It is becoming more popular every yearâ€"principally beâ€" cause it is so near, its climate is so inâ€" viting, and it offers such an array of interesting sports and pastimes pecuâ€" liar to that part of the country. Where else but Florida can one enjoy better such an exciting novelty as Tarâ€" pon fishing â€" or aquaâ€"planeing â€" or speedâ€"boatingâ€"or polo. Where else can one motor for miles through avenâ€" ues shaded by graceful palms â€" by great citrus groves of ripening oranges and lemons â€" or along the shore of the Atlantic. There‘s golf, too â€" all winter long. But what do the year‘s fiying reâ€" cords, now in course of tabulation at Queen‘s Park, show? Well, they show. in one instance, at least, that the critâ€" ics, to recall a still older popular song should "keep their foot on the soft softâ€"soft pedal." For, during> the six weeks from June 22 to Aug. 7 a single Moth machine, from the Sudbury inâ€" spectorate, carried 1,445 pounds of uroâ€" visions in to a party of 10 working on the construction of a steel tower and phone line 30 to 50 miles from the railâ€" way. Round trip by cance took two imen. four days. Carrying as much as 235 pounds at a trip, the plane made this same round trip in 1 hour and 35 minâ€" utes. In addition to provisions, inâ€" sulators and sundry other tools and equipment, urgently needed and overâ€" looked in the original inventory, were flown in. The problem of getting waâ€" ter to the top of the 400â€"foot hill on which the tower was being raised, and for mixing the concrete for the piers, was solved by means of a motor fire pump and 600 feet of hose which were also flown in to the spot.

The "Moth" type of planes have certainly proved their usefulness and practicability in the North Land. In a recent issue, The Toronto Globe touched on former criticism of this type of fiying machine, and in view of the fact that the North is necessarily so interesteod in all phases of fying. because of the fact that planes hayv‘ proved of such value to this countri of long distances, the article is given herewith in full:â€" When the Ontario Government purâ€" chased its first Moth light aeroplanes there were a lot of critics who sang the old song: ‘"Yoeu‘ll be sorry just too late." "For detection, sketching, and simiâ€" lar light duties, they‘re ‘jake,‘" saiC the critics, "but in any other capacity thev‘re next to useless."
