Pilot and Photographer Aerial photography for survey purs Poses is not a simple matter, The crew of the plane must be highly trained and specialized for this work. he pilot must be able to fly the plane vertically over points in line on the earth's surface, and must maintain a perfectly straight flight for each series of pictures. He must maintain exactly a pre-determined al- titude, in order that all photographs may be of the same iy He must fly his machine, at all times when photo, a are being taken, on an even kee The photographer must see that the camera plate is horizontal each time a picture 'is taken; also he must see that the camera mechanism is operat- ing properly, and that the pictures are taken at the correct time inter- val. This interval depends on the height at which the photographs are taken, the length of the carema lens and the amount of overlap required, Since as many as three photographs may be taken each minute, the cam- era operator must pay the closest at- tention to his work, The closest co- operation between the pilot and pho- tographer is necessary. nless each photograph is taken almost vertically over the point on the ground predetermined by the sur- veyor, the reduction of the informa- tion shown in the picture in the form of a map is impossible. The success of aerial survey, therefore, depends on the efficieney of the air crew jn carrying out the requirements of the surveyor, Great strides have been made in aerial survey since 1919, but the art is in its infancy and the future holds new and more accurate methods of the use of air photography for sur- vey work of which we have not yet dreamed. The men whom I have seen sue- ceed best in life have always been cheerful and hopeful men, who went about their business with a smile on their face, and took the changes and chances of this mortal life like men, facing rough and smooth zlike as it came, ~Chas. Kingsley. GREATER OSHAWA The City of Oshawa, located on Lake Ontario, 32 miles east of To- ronto, has a population estimated at 25,000. It is fast becoming ene of the leading manufacturing cities in Can- ada. | was incorporated as a city in Transportation facilities and econ- omical distribution of finished pro- ducts to the domestic market have contributed largely to its growth in manufacturing. Inthe former the city is served by the two great Canadian railroads: Canadian National and Canadian Pacific main lines, Toronto to Montreal. The Oshawa Street Railway, a subsidiary of the Cana. dian National, electrically operated, serves all industrial plants, inter- switching charges being absorbed in the general rate. Highway transpor- tation is adequately served by the paved Provincial Highway No. 2, ex- tending from Windsor to Montreal, passing through Toronto. Plans are completed for extensive harbour de- velopments en Lake Ontario and up to date an expenditure of $125,000 has been made. Within a radius of fifty miles from the city of Oshawa there is a popu- lation of approximately 650,000, com- prising the greatest single industrial area for its size in Canada. There are at present over eight thousand employed in the local in- dustries, representing an annual pay roll of over $10,000,000, Labour con ditions are particularly good and sup- ply is readily available from such centres as the City of Toronto. Eighty per cent. of the residents of Oshawa own their homes. Among the products manufactured in the city are automobiles, castings, iron fittings, interior office and fac- tory woodwork, leather goods, pianes and radie, plate glass windows, plushes, sheet metal products, springs, woollen goods. There are: a number of excellent manufacturing sites available in the city with railway and civic conven- iences, (or guaranteed to be supplied where reasonable and necessary) in- cluding land held by the city for in- dustrial purposes. There are also a few factory buildings available, S---------------- You want a better position than you now have in business, a better and fuller place in life. All right: think of that better place and you in it as already existing. Form the mental image, Keep on thinking of that higher position, keep the image constantly before you, and--no, you will not suddenly be transported in- to the higher job, but you will find that you are preparing yourself to occupy the better ppsition in life-- your body, your energy, your under- standing, your heart will all grow up to the job--and when you are ready, after hard work, after perhaps years of preparation, you will get the job and the higher place in life --Joseph H. Appel Enterprising Development of Oshawa's Public Utilities - Oshawa Well Served Hydro-Electric System Business Quadrupled in Last Decade--Combined Power and Lighting Load Now 10,000 H.P., Serving Six Thousand Customers Tis City Oshawa was first lighted by electricity. industrial developments were reviewed in our Jubilee Edition last year. As most of our readers are aware, the Central Ontario and Trent System, in which the City of Oshawa is included, de. pends for its power supply upon a number of power devel- opments situated on the Trent and Otonabee Rivers. . The present combined power and lighting load is appreximately 10,000 hp, serving 6,000 customers and 900 street lights, This compares with the 1916 figure of 1,400 h.p., serving 1,300 customers and 300 street lights. The eost of demestic light is now two and three-quarter cents per k.w. hour, as compared with eight cents in 1916 and twelve cents in 1914. Power costs 1.3 per k.w. hour. The Hydro-Electric Power Com- mission is not only keeping pace with the requirements of the city, but is anticipating them, Regent exten: sions inclyde the erection of a new sub-station and 3,000 kva. trans- former installed at Oshawa Boule- vard and 'Alice Street. A second transmission line has been provided from Port Hope, following a different direction from the original line. The new line has ample capacity for Osh- awa's requirements for several years. Additional transformer capacity of 3,000 h.p. has been installed in the Oshawa sub-station. More generat- ing stations have been placed in op- eration on the Trent River, and ar- rangements have been completed for the supply of several thousand horse- power from the new developments projected on the (Gatineau River. The first gas plant was installed at Bond and Church Streets, on the site of the Commission's present store- house, in 1905. The present plant wae built and placed in operation in 1912, with an average gas production of 32,000 cubic feet per day. Owing to 'the increased demand for gas, the plant was remodelled: in i222. It now has a daily capacity of 225,000 cubic feet. This plant was purchased from the Scymour Power interests hy the Provincial Government in 1916 and is operated by the Hyvdro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario in con: ~one years since the The MR, O, T, BARNES, Popular Local Manager of the dro Electric Commission, uy- i junction with the electric systgm. There are over thirty miles of gas miains under the city streets, and the number of consumers is apprexi- mately two thousand. The recent substantial: reduction in gas rates will undoubtedly popularize gas as a fuel for domestic and - mercial uses in the opinion of the local manager, Mr, C, T. Barnes, I send you herewith a bill for ten louis d'ors. I do net pretend to give such a sum; I only lend it to yeu. When you shall return to your coun try with a good character, you gan not fail of getting into some busi» ness, that will in time enable yoy to pay all your debts, In that cage, when you meet with another honest man in similar distress, you must pay me by lending this sum to Erg him to discharge the debt by a like operation, when he shall be able, and shall meet with such another opper- tunity. I hope it may thus go through many hands, before it meets with a knave that 'will stop its progress, This is a trick of mine for doing a deal of good with a little money, I am not rich enough to afford mych in good works, and so am obliged to be cunning and make the most of a little--~Franklin. \ the rate of telephone development here. On May 31st, 1927, Oshawa had 4,183 telephones in service. A year later there were 5,130--an in- grease of 947 telephones, or over 22 per cent. The gains for the first five months of 1928 have heen con- sistent--in January, 136, in February, 80, in March, 84, in April, 75, and in May, 108--an average of 96 each month, Telephone traffic returns are quite as instructive. There are 51 opera- tors employed in the central office, in charge of Miss A. Greer, Chief Operator. This efficient staff com- pletes every day an average of 36, 000 local calls and 1,000 outgoing long distance calls. Compared with last year's figures--26,000 local calls each day--it will he scen that the calling rate increases over 38 per cent--in far greater proportion than the in- crease in the number of telephones, work will be started shortly, thirty-four mile stretch of proof cable, carrying 232 pairs recently. completed Toronto-Buffalo cable. The Oshawa-Toronto stretch, it is estimated, will cost $725,000 and will require some 200,000 man-hours in construction, Several special cir- cuits are included in this cable for radio broadcasting purposes. Eventually, Bell officials hope, all the Company's main long distance lines will be enclosed in cable, and in time the 'two great automobile centres, Oshawa in Canada and De- troit in the United States, will he connected hy telephone cable circuits for the entire distance. Gradual ex- tension eastward is planned too, so at a cost of $60,000.

Six years ago last February, I came to Oshawa to take over the control of It was here that my former experience theatrical and stock company business with which | had been associated practically all my life previously, stood me in good stead, during that time what the average public liked, and all through these six years when we have grown up with Oshawa, as it were, my aim, as well, has been to make the theatre a mainstay in the life of the community, a place where a few hours of good, clean wholesome enjoyment could always be a certainty with the patrons, By catering to the pleasure of the people and carefully supervising all our programs, I am now more than satisfied with my decision six years ago which brought me here to Oshawa, the New Martin theatre. -NEW- MARTI THEATRE Located on King OSHAWA St. in the I had learned Canadian Air Force, during an operation carried out for the purpose of mapping the coun- try in the vicinity of Oshawa. Acrial photography as an aid to the map-maker and surveyor has been developed during and since the Great War, Before the war the positions of all objects which it was desired to show on a map or plan were fixed by mea- surements actually made on the ground or by a graphical method of intersecting minor detail from known points, ; Since the introduction of aerial photography the amount of ground measurement has been greatly re- duced, and it is now possible to pro- duce a small scale uncontoured map with a small amount of ground con- trol and without ever visiting the greater part of the ground covered. The accuracy of the resulting map is much greater when produced by the aid of aerial photography, If it is desired to show the hill fea- tures on the map, contours may be added by visiting the ground, or by obtaining spot heights throughout the area concerned, and contouring on the aerial photographs by the aid of a stercoscope, which, when provided with a suitable pair of aerial pictures, will show the terrain as standing in relief, There are two kinds of aerial pho- tographs used for mapping--ob ique and vertical, The former is obtained by holding the camera so that the plate is. inclined at an angle with the horizon, and the latter by taking the photographs with the plate horizon- tal. Oblique photographs are suitable for mapping comparatively flat coun- try at a small scale, such as six miles to one inch. Vertical photographs are used when the terrain is hilly and more detail is required for the larger scale maps. : "a. | A Composite Pictures [The mosaic map of Oshawa is com- piled from thirteen vertical aerial Bho. tquraphs, taken at a height of 10,000 fdet above the ground, 1 |There are certain errors of posi- tion of detail and of scale in verti- cal aerial photographs due to ground relief and to the fact that it is sel- dom possible to hold the camera plate exactly horizontal, However, it is possible to eliminate these errors in the process of plotting the detail on paper in the production of a small scale map. The Geographical Section of the Oshawa's Oldest Operating Theatre Department of National Defence has || carried out a systematic programme i of mapping in the Province of On- ! tario, Quebec and Nova Scotia dur- and ing the last twenty-five years, "the portions of these provinces which have now been mapped at a scale of one inch to one mile have a total area of about 45000 square miles, About fifteen hundred square miles in the vicinity of Newmarket, Beaver- | ton, Lindsay and Oshawa were cov- cred with aerial photographs in 1927, { and this area is being mapped this \{ year.
