rAGE | WELVE l1.e OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 'General MacBrien Predicts All Canadian Aviation Route Tells Montreal Audience That These Will Be Trans-Con- tinental Air Routes in Canada Within the Next Two or Three Years--Interest in Aviation is Growing Steadily Montreal, Jan, 24,--8o rapid is the development of commercial aviation at the present time that in two or three years there will be in operation in Canada a trans-continental air route, it was predicted by Major. Gen, J. N. MacBrien, C.B,, C.M! president of the Aviation League Canada, in an address before the Traffic Club of Montreal, Reviewing the progress in civil aviation in Can- ada, he referred particularly to the work accomplished in forest protec- tion and the transport of mail by airplane. In his opinion, he sai there is now a wide field opening u in Canada for the use of airplanes in the development of the outlying northern areas of the country, The world has now arrived at a flying age, Major-Gen, MacBrien sald in opening his address, and though the air has not been fully conquered, vast strides have been made in that direction, . He recalled in his prelim- inary remarks that in early anti- quity mention was made of flying and if early writings are to be be. lieved, much interest was shown in the prospects of flight. Two Main Lines Aviation, he said had developed along two lines, namely that of the lighter-than-air and of the heavier- than-air machines. Both types of flying machines were effective and would have a place in future devel- opments, he believed, but in recent years the heavier-than-air machine had perhaps made greater advance than its fellow, Development of Speed Regarding the speed reached by fliers, Major-Gen, MacBrien recalled that a machine had been flown 345 miles an hour recently in England, At the present time, he said, the de- velopment of speed had gone far enough, though he recalled that a prediction had been made 'by a lead- ing aeronautic engineer that at the present rate of progress there was no reason why planes could not be flown at 1,000 miles an hour, Aside from the advances made in speeding up planes, the greatest record achieved of late was in the safety of travel on established lines, he be- Heved, The speaker then turned to the de- velopment of aviation in Europe and America. In Europe there is now in operation 50,000 miles of organized airways of which 16,000 are to be found in Germany. Both in the length of airways in operation and in new developments, Germany was TIME TABLES | CPR, TIME TABLE.

'Then was established the first mail route from Rimouski to Montreal which was later extended to Toronto and Ot- tawa, Steady Interest Since early in 1928 there has been a steady interest in commercial avia- tion, fostered by a progressive policy on the part of the Federal Govern- ment, Flying clubs have been'en- couraged and the Aviation League of Canada was formed with the ob- ject of promoting aviation among Canadians, Further signs of interest in aviation are shown in the estab- lishment of air ports and air routes and within two or three years the speaker was assured, a transcontin- ental line would be in operation. Of special benefit in the develop- ment of Canada would be the use of airplanes in opening up the far nor- thern sections of the gountry, Major- Gen. MacBrien + believed. Already prospectors and miners are being taken into outlying parts together with supplies of food and the use of airplanes in that direction could be extended to the far north country, As regards the Fgiety of operation, Gen. MacBrien said that the changed viewpoint' of the public in that con- nection was indicated by the fact that after considerable investigation, in- surance companies are reducing pre- mium rates, One company to his knowledge, he said, made no differ- ence in premiums for airmen flying over organized routes, while in other cases the premiums were slightly higher, Safety Flying He then pointed out four condi- tions for safety in flying, namely that modern aircraft with multiple engines be used; that flying be car- ried on over organized routes; that the routes be equipped with adequate meteorological and wireless facilities and that trained personel be em- ployed both on the ground and in the air. If these conditions were observed there need be no fear of fly- ing, he said. Quicker Turnover Aside from the advantage of speedy transportation which would enable business men to make a quicker turnover of their goods, the speaker believed that the develop- ment of air travel would bind Canada more closely together politically. Where a given problem arose in a section of the country, a solution would be more expeditiously found by means of fast communication. Tn any case with the rapidly growing commercial rivalry in the world, it would be essential for every mation to encourage the development of transportation by air. In conclusion, he touched upon the advantage in time of war of a highly trained and efficient eorps of Cana- dian airmen. Canadians had proved in the Great War that they made good fliers and many of them are even now waiting for the field to open up for them in that direction, he said.

BANKS CONTINUE T0 GIVE REWARDS FOR DEAD BANDITS Damage Action Fails to Deter Efforts to Halt Bank Robbers Dallas, Texas, Jan. 25. -- Un- daunted by a $100,000 damage suit filed against the Texas Bank- ors' Assolation after a slaying at Odessa, bankers in the state con- tinue to place a price on the life of every bandit caught robbing a bank. The grim condition--dead rob- bers only--still prevails. For each one slafn while holding up a mem- ber bank, the Association will pay a $6,000 reward. Bankers believe the plan is a success despite the assertion of Frank A. Hamer, captain of Texas Rangers, that the two men for whose killing at Odessa the asso- ciation paid $10,000 were lured into a trap by persons who conspir- ed to murder them and collected the money on the pretense of sav- ing a bank from robbery, Before the bankers took the drastic step a year ago 25 Texas banks were robbed in eight weeks. Not one shot was fired in these holdups. Neither were any ban- dits captured, nor was any loot re- covered. When insurance companies which they assumed the rinancial hazard was not checked within a month, the bankers' assoclation de- clared war on holdup men. Mem- ber banks subscribing $5 each soon filled a war chest from which $5,- 000 would be paid for every dead robber, Since $25,000 has been paid for five dead men, the number of rob- beries has been reduced even lower than W. M, Massie, the As- soclation's "war" president, had hoped. : : Since Ranger Captain Hamer has declared that the two men killed at Odessa were the victims of a "murder ring" the mother of one of them has sued the association for $100,000. The. actiom was brought by Mrs, Mary Hansen, whose son, Willlam Carl Hansen, was slain in November, 1927, Besides the Bankers' Association, Mrs. 'Hansen named three sheriffs as defendants, PARTY CONVENTION PRELIMINARY TO MEXICAN ELECTION Mexico, Jan. 25,--The organiz- ing committee of the National Rev- olutionary Party announces that a party convention will be held in the city of Queretero during the first five days of March in order to for- mulate a platform and select a presidential candidate. The announcement says that the era of one-man government in Mexico has ended and that it is now the task of the Revolutionary Party to carry on the program of the Mex- ican revolution by welding all the revolutionary groups into one par- ty and by electing to the presiden- tial and otker BEGGARS OF PEKING WILL BE PROVIDED WITH NEW TRADES To Be Given Training So That They Can Go to Work Peking, Jan. 25.--Peking's beg- gars are going to have a chance to go to work. Nationalist lead- ers have suggested a plan for a beggars' university where men, women and children of the heggar class can learn some simple trade. The amateur beggars welcome the idea, but the professional class view it coldly, for they have fol- lowed their occupation, father, mother and children, all their lives and in many cases their fathers and grandfathers before them did the same, Begging 1s a trade in itself to these men and women and they declare it suits them very well, While they are out in all sorts of weahter, they aver that they can make more money for less work than in other occupations of low rank. The plans for the new school, however, are designed primarily for those unfortunates who would rather work if they had jobs but who have been reduced to beg- ging because of enforced idleness. Thousands of such people exist to- day in every large city of China, Meanwhile the professional beg- gars heartily wish the amateurs government posts | would he reduced in numbers.
