For five more minutes the big motors sing th ir song of horsepower, rising and falling in speed as the two airforce vets in the cabin check and doubleâ€" check on the craft‘s airworth:.ness. Then the machine b.gins to move down the runway. Motors surging with power, the plane streaks across the field. You can feel the props cutting into the wind, thrustâ€" ing the craft forward with tremendous force. The ground beside the plane whips by in a blur.

By the uime it has cleared the tdge of the airport it is already several hunâ€" dred feet in the air. You look over th: side to see the craft‘s shadow racâ€" ing along the ground b.low, through orchards, plowed f.elds and meadows. It glides squarely across the roof of a farm house.

Then the nose of the craft points to the North, as the light.d pan:l at tue entrance io the cockpit goes out. Tms panel has read "Fas.en safety Belts. No smoking." Now you undo your belbt, hght a cigarette and‘look down at th. countryside. Today the weather is clear and visâ€" ibility is good. For mile upon mile, the flat rectangular paiches of green, gray and brown that compris: some of the r.chest farm land in Canada stretch to the hor.zcn. It is a scene of orâ€" derliness, straighnt lines and carefully plotted corners. Fiftetn mil s to the south the skyline of Toronto is etched against the blue waiers of Lake Ontario. An azure haze hangs cver the city, but the sun glintsâ€"clearly on th2 newer skyscrapers. Offshore the blue of the sky melts into ihe waters of the Lake.

You pass Aurora, then Bradford, and presently you aref lyingâ€"directly above Lak: Simcoe: You see that it :s a manâ€" sized boedy of water. A breeze flecks small waves across its surface. Sumâ€" mer cottages hug its shore, splashes of color from the air. Ahead a foamy white layer of cloud saveral hundred fest thick spans th2 sky from horizon to horizon. The plane gains altitude to ride above the tumbled tiers cf cloud. Suddenly you are :n ancther world. As far as the eye can sez there is a wilderness of everâ€"changing hills and valleys as a stiff breeze whips the clouds alog. Prisently the steward goes forward to the cockpit.. He returns with a slip of paper which he passes from passenger to passcnger. It is a report on the flight‘s progress which says that you are now ov.r Bracebridge, that the plane is heading into a stiff breeze at 190 miles per hour, that the alt.tude is 4,000 fect.

This is a country through which no roads wind the.r way, a land of a thousand little lakes and rivers. You are starting 10 enter the North. NE i as As you leave Temagami, the ground below changes.

FAGGED FEET Things have been pretty quite in the glue pot this week outside the opening of the Dart season and that always causes a commotion.

While we are on Darts, I would like to mention that the final for the Singles chilm- pionsbhip and the Trophy donatcc‘f by the Workfrs Coâ€"Op, was played in the Legion Hall on Monday evening between myself and Tom Glaister, I won out, but no discredit to Tom (Glaister. In fact the betting was on ‘Tom and he certainly played a good game and had some bad luck. I count myself lucky in a way of pulling it off as my opponent is a very conâ€" sistant player and he will have anâ€" other day. Better luck next time Tom. On Friday we had a little, musical interlude, a sort of a rogound table choir, and they had quite a good time amongst themselves They were comâ€" rades Rielly, Harris, Gagnon, Farrel and Teddy Bennet the bass voice. John Tessier was at the piano. We certainly regret the absence of comrade Hugh Scanlon. Hugh has left Timmins for Toronto where he expects to take up business. As you all know, Hugh was really the offiâ€" cial and original pian‘ist to the Orâ€" phans‘ Choir. They will certainly miss hkim and they all join in wishing him ime best of luck. ‘Thoere s very littie nzsws of our new THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE CANADA SAVINGS BONDS These Bonds are the best family investment .. . for safety ... for a good interest return . f â€"234 per cent . . . for future needs.
