The flight to rescue the seven men was one of the many *‘"‘mercy flights" Ed Ahr has made.

Eight Years and One Month Ago Yesterday Seven Porâ€" cupine Men, Returning From Toronto by Plane, Crashâ€" In March, 1932, Timmins hockey team played and won the N.O.H.A. finals. Seven men took off in a plane t> ‘Toronto to see the game. On the trip south they lost their bearings and landed at Fenelon Falls They took ~ff from there and made a landing at Oshawa. From there they travelled to Tsronto by automobile. After the game was lost and won the men motored to Orillia where thei plane was located. They took off from Lake Couchiching and began the trip back to Timmins. That was on Wedâ€" mesday, March 17, 1932. At Haileybury the air travellers hit a bad snow sterm. They tried to get above it but were unable to escape its fury. Matheson was passed, and beâ€" tween that municipality and Timmins, Pilot Leavens dGecided that 1t asâ€" a choice between crashing and making forced landing. He chose the latter course and picked a small lake on which to land, On the way down the wing of the plane struck a tree and it crashed into the bush. Only two men were hurt. They were the pilot and Mr. Marshall. Both were cut by the glass in the windshield of the plane. The men bound their cuts with handkerchiefs and all got out to reconnoitre, C Recalling the incident recently, Mr. Evans said: "I was wearing low shoes, silk socks and short underwear. It was not much fun stepping <ut into three feet of snow. The other members of the party were not dressed more warmâ€" y thanmn I. We had about half a dozen chscolate bars and a few sandwiches between us. However, we made use of what we could find to build a shelâ€" ter. Let me tell you, though, that we felt mighty glad when we saWw Ed Ahr‘s plane circle above us." Pilot Ed Ahr, who by that time, had been fiying for eight years, landed on the small lake and left food for the men. He went back to Ssouth Porcuâ€" pme and returned with Dr. McLaran. ‘Then he tadok the men, ons by ong, back to the town.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Ailgoma Transport One of North‘s Pioneer Air Firms More freigsht t:nrage was flown last year in Canada than in the United States. One reason for that is the existence of such comparies as the Algoma Air Transport, with its base at South Porcupine. First Air Transport Comâ€" pany in Porcupine Has Provided V aluable Service at Ssouth Porcup:ine. Originated by veteran fiver, Ed Ahr, the Alg:ma Air Transport was organâ€" ized in 1930. Ten years of age, the eccmpany‘s pilots have flown approxiâ€" mately one million miles sings its establishment. Many of these miles have been flown by Ed Ahr himself. In 1930 Ed Ahr started off with one aercplarne. Today five machines are flown by Algoma Transport pilots. In the active service of the company is one "Pyper Cub", used for light comâ€" mercial work and instruction and two "Waco‘"‘ plares for the heavy duty work which evolves upon ntrthern fiyâ€" ing companies. Al1 over the continent the reputation of "bush flyers" has beten established They are known as expert airmen whose forte is flying under adverse conditions. The transportation of heavy mining machinery, for example, into areas where landing fields are none tzo good, is one of the feats which have earned these northern fiyers the reputation of among the best anyâ€" where. President of the Algoma Transport is Ed Ahr. His wife is secretaryâ€"treasâ€" urer of the company and general manâ€" ager is a well known "oldtimer" in the Porcupinge, 0. L. ("Scoop") Evans.

Its pilots have done all the routine chores of a nuarthern fiying organizaâ€" tion including the transportation of miring mon and mining machinery to isclated areas, the transportation of ardent fishermien to inland lakes and other tasks ;too numerous t3 mention. Mr. Ahr, ‘who is known all over the north country, has made "mercy flights"* many of which received n»no publicity whatever. His credit for the many unpublicized daring flights he has made come only from the select company of flyers cf which he jSs member, inasmuch as ‘they are unâ€" known to the general public. The Alzoma Air Transport has been established here for ten years. Durâ€" ing that time it has never had a major accident but has rescued many cthexr pilots and passengers who have had mishaps. Its president, Mr. Ahr, was to discuss the many exploits of the organization inasmuch as much of the credit for them falls directly on himself. "We are trying to meet a need for fAiying in this country and inâ€" sofan as risks are ccncerned we have taken them as a part of our job," he said. $ kenzie, Miss D. J. Morris, John P. Olâ€" tean, H.
