On a table in front of him lay a map with no towns, roads or landmarks, except the outlines of the Great Lakes and here and there, circles, with an arrow marking the compass variationsâ€"not much help that to a visitor from the other side of the world. On the table lay his simple instruments, a triangular ruler, a few pencils, a circular card with rows of figures and the name, Somebody‘s Rapid Calculator. Beside him was a compass and up in front two dials, one indicating the engine speed and the other the allitude above sea level. Up in front, on the left, sat Pilot Jocelin, two or three rows of instruâ€" ments in front of him, holding on to a wheel that looked like the steering Force stories written for the weekly wheel of an automobilse with parts of it cut away. (Beside him sat one of the young Australians. In front of him, under the dash, was a hole into which he crawled from time to time, so that he could lie flat on his s:‘.omâ€" ach in the nose of the plane and read the drift indicator, showing how much the plane was being blown off its course by the wind. Directly behind the pilot sat the I sat in the rear seat, directly behind the student with the exercise, but with my view to the front partly cut off by the wireless instruments, worked by One of the Austrailians had repeated the warning that the flight might be a routzh one, but I did not find it so, particularly after we had climbed above a thousand feet. These large planes fly much more steadily than the small openâ€"cockpit planes in which most of my previous flying had been done. "We like it," one of them replied, rather surprisingly. They were in shirtâ€"sleeves too, with the same kind of parachute harness. Later, Pilot Joselin said: "The Australians just eat up this kind of weather." A little door was open up on the side of the plane, and I climbed up. One of the Australians fastened my safety strap, a quickâ€"release type that was new to me. Allin took his seat beside the pilot and Evritt in the seat behind the pilot. I was in the back seat, opâ€" posite the door. The plane began to move at once, down the broad runaway. We passed a silvery Transâ€"Canada plane, just cciming in and turned into the wind and in a few seconds were off the ground, heading westward into a 25â€" mile wind. Avro Anson No. 6037 were turning over smoothly and noisily now. The pilo! was already in his seat. MHMHasty inâ€" troductions to the two student observâ€" ers, K. Allin and R.

There, the students changed places and we went around another circle, slightly farther east, dbut in sight of Brampton, Caledon Lake, Orâ€" angeville, Aurora, and down to the shore of Lake Ontario near Malvern. A turn to the west brought us over the eastern suburbs of Toronto. I hadn‘t any idea whether I would know where we were from nearly a mile up in the air. I couldn‘t see the compass, but the sun shone most of the time, giving a rough idea of the directions. There wasn‘t any doubt about the first town. Acres of greenâ€" houses shone in the light, as we circled over Brampton, gaining height. I imagine it would make a wonderful target, day or night. If I had been able to lay hands on a stone, I could hardly have resisteqd the temptation to drop it overboard on these glass roofs. We headed west after that, and the Credit river, dirty even from that height, was the next landmark. Then a little village that worried me uni{il I decided its mill ponds. were like those at Alton. Then came Orangeâ€" ville. I was nearer home now and knew most of the landmarks. The provincial highway to Arthur, straight as a ruler, gleamed in the sun for miles till it crossed the Grand River. The lovely Hockley Valley lay ahead. The hills looked almost flat, but the road by the river was plain enough. By this time, I had the road map out of my brief case ang from then on, was never lost. We passed south of Camp Borden, over the great Holâ€" land marsh and the tip of Lake Simâ€" remote control from the pilot‘s seat.

It has even been likened to a fiying greenhouse. The rear seat was opposite the huge wing, but it was easy to see the landscape below and behind. The sky held many clouds and the shadows motiled the landscape below. The air was hazy and ten miles was about the limit of visibility. After we climbed to 4500 fset, we were up in the lower layver of clouds. Occasionâ€" ally one would drift past almost close enough to touch. The heavier clouds, holding a hint of thunder, were highâ€" er. Two or three times we ran into rain but I couldn‘t see it out on the wing. Only the oddg singing of the propellors and the drops on the front windows showed me the difference. (N ex£ Weeliâ€"-f‘inz;l Article).

Thirty Eskimos Give Pledge That They Will Kill No More According to despatches this week from Belcher Islands, thirty Eskimos of the Belcher Islands area standing with raised arms symbolized their acâ€" ceptance of the white man‘s laws and their promise to kill no more as murder trials of seven of their number conâ€" cluded last week. The natives were answering the reâ€" quest of Mr. Justice C. P. Plaxton of Toronto, who presided at the trials where four were found guilty of manâ€" slaughter, that they demonstrate their willingness to live peacefully after the storms of religious controversy which caused nine deaths early this year. When the natives had heard the judge‘s words, they left the tent court room for a few minutes and then reâ€" turned to sing hymns and listen with close attention to Rev. George Nielâ€" son, Anglican missionary from Great Whale River, as he spoke to them in Eskimo, explaining that biblical teachâ€" ings forbid the taking of human life and require obedience to one God. The natives greeted with approving cries of "Ayeeh!" the judge‘s stateâ€" ment. He had a few words for them in regard to the murders. "These trials were carried out in the same way as are white men‘s trials all over the world." Again the Eskimos interrupted with cries of "Ayeeh!" The Belchers were only a small part of Canada and there were more white men than it was possible for Eskimos to count. Where there were so many people, the Great White Father, the King, had to make laws. In these laws it was set forth how people should act, and white man and Eskimo should obey them. With the rain drumming on the roof of the tent in which the trials ~were held the judge, speaking through the veteran interpreter Harold Udgar.en, said that a girl, Sarah, and Keytowiek and Ekpuk, were killed because Eskiâ€" mos believed they had the devil in them. It was wrong to believe people had devils in them. If all Eskimos lived good lives they would be rewardâ€" ed by God after they died. Claimed Divine Powers "I want you to remember that no man or woman among you can be God." said the judge, referring to the cases of Peter Sala and Charlie Ouyerâ€" ack, both convicteqd of manslaughter, who claimed they had divine powers. Marcel Lauthier, former friends Of Timmins, and also some other friends residing in Montreal." "You have attended the trials of those responsible for these murders, and you have seen and I trust you understand how I, the judge, hear the stories of ali the people so I will understand what has happened," he said. One King For All The King was the King of white men and Eskimos alike, Mr. Justice Plaxton said. He had been sent to the islands as judge so "bad" Eskimos might be punished. A person who claimed divine powers was trying to take advantage of other Eskimos, the judge said., When anyâ€" thing went wrong in Eskimo camps he advised the natives to inform the Hudson‘s Bay Company post manager on the Belchers. (Eskimos should help each other all they could in time of sickness and see all were kept warm and had food. "I hope all you people will live good lives, be happy among yourselves and not quarrel," the judge said,. ‘If there are any more murders on these islands Despatches from London, England, suggest that the Germans now occupyâ€" ing Holland are being irritated in subtle way, but are not able to do anything about it. German officers noticed that Netherlanders had adoptâ€" ed the habit of stopping on street corâ€" ners and deliberately eating oranges. At first, the Germans, realizing it was some subtle form of insult, tried to figure out just what it meant. . The first guess was that the way the oranges were held in eating formed the "V" for Victory, but later it dawned on the Nazis that the oranges were displayed to express in subtle way that the Holâ€" landers were still faithful to the House of Orange. The Germans so far have not been able to do anything about it as the eating of oranges on the street is not illegal, but no doubt the Squareâ€" heads will find a brutal method of disâ€" couraging the eating of oranges in public.
