Police were present in the plant when engineers, on disâ€" mantling the auxiliary unit, disâ€" covered the brass cylinders, each three inches long, in a steam pipe, connected with it.

Mayor Meinzinger told The Chronicle that the accused, Schust, a former superintendent of the gas plant, admits placing the cylinders in the auxiliary unit, but claims he did so "to better operation of it". _ One of the ships sunk was the Siscar and twentyâ€"five of her crew were brought into the Tagus River Estuary today by one of the twelve British ships and one Irish ship which escaped. The Siscar was torpedoed.

These schools are not run by the Government, but by private companies, each one sponsored by a Canadian Flying Club. One result is that there is a certain division of labor at each of these Elementary Schools. There is a civilian manager, whose duty it is to supervise all the actual flyâ€" ing instruction and maintenance of the planes, and an R.C.A.F. officer in charge of discipline and of the classroom teaching. _ _ 9e It is claimed that police disâ€"; covered the alleged plot to destroy‘ the plant only two or three days| before the auxiliary unit would‘ have been put in service. It has not: been used since January, and the| accused are alleged to have tam-i pered with it in February. | Of the three accused men, Walâ€" ters was the only one still engaged by the P.U.C. He was working in the capacity of a retort stoker and would have retired on pension early next spring. Roberts, the third accused, is a pensioner, while Schust, formerly superintendent of the plant, was summarily dismissâ€" ed July 2nd of this year.

The arangement has been critiâ€" cized, but it seems to be working well. Early in the war, when the great Air Training Plan was first put into operation, it enabled the RC.A.F. to take advantage of the most experienced instructors availâ€" able, the enthusiasts who had kept alive the Flying Club. That saved precious weeks and has worked so well, there is not likely to be any immediate change, except in minor details. All other types. of schools are directly under the R.C.A.F.

PILOTS LEARN TO HANDLE PLANES (Continued from Page 1) #HB WATHERLOO iOataste) CHRONMNICLE \ _ There are two dials on the gunâ€" sight, similar to those on the lens [ of a camera. The pilot sees an eneâ€" lmy plane in the distance. He sets one dial according to the type of| | plane, say a Messerschmitt 109, and |the other for the distance at which | ‘he intends to operm fire, say 300 yards. After that he can concenâ€" trate on keeping the enemy plane inside that circle of light. When it‘ is close enough that the wings of the approaching plane fill the space in the broken bar of light, the pilot | touches a button and the fire of eight machine guns converges on | \tho spot marked by the bright point of light on the gunâ€"sight. In training, no guns are fired but the pupil learns to judge distance and \so aim accurately and quickly. | \_ Using these models, the student \!leams to aim with the sights used on the famous Spitfire planes. I found this sight a fascinating piece of optical equipment. It is not ‘much larger than a flashliiht and ‘is illuminated by a small bulb at the bottom. The pilot looks through a sloping piece of glass which is transparent and yet acts |as a mirror. On the glass, a circle of light appears, with a crossâ€"bar | of light, broken in the middle. In the exact centre of the circle is a spot of bright light. It is obviously important that piâ€" |lots of fighting planes should be |able to recognize an enemy at a | distance and get in the first shotsâ€" ‘and those shots must be accurate.

Code. \__One of the buildings at Mount \Hope is the parachute room. The parachute is made of the finest ‘grade Japanese silk, with braided ‘cords. The length is about 40 feet ‘and the cost of one is about $400. Parachutes are given constant care, {since lives depend on them. Every few days, they are unpacked and hung up in a tower, looking like a flock of big bats hanging from the \ceiling. Folding and reâ€"packing are done by experts. _ ; All flying schools teach aircraft recognition. Walls of classrooms and halls are covered with pictures of British, American and enemy planes. Models, made of plastic and brought from Britain, or carved from wood by Canadian boys, acâ€" curately measured to scale, are suspended from wires in various positions and can be moved across the room. Classrooms vary according to the subject taught. I will describe only one of the most interesting. _ â€" body. There is a broad belt of webbing around the waist, with two narrower straps over the shoulders and two more around the legs. All the straps are fastened to a lock in front of the body. The parachute itself is carefully folded inside a bag which serves as a cushion on which the student sits while flying. The "rip cord" isn‘t ‘a cord at all. Fastened to the belt, lon the left side, is a large metal ‘handle, in easy reach of the right ‘hand. When it is pulled a metal |cable, like that used in camera shutters, jerks open the bag in ‘which the parachute is folded. Few students will ever have to use one, |in Canada at least, but the feel of a parachute on the back gives added confidence. 1 (Next Weekâ€"COamp Borden) â€"Royal Air Force Photographs.
