Call it what you want but the 1929 Ford Tri-Mot aircraft which visited Oshawa Airport Wednesday. morning gave several hundred children a peek into aviation's past. Their parents, who watched the industry grow up, were just as avid spectators, scrambling for a peek in the single door at the rows of seats (13 in all, seven on the left side and six on the right), $140,000 to restore The Tri-Motor cost $55,000 new and it cost American Air- lines $140,000 to restore this one. Yesterday's guest, known as NC-9683, was found in Mexico) some years ago, It had appar- ently crash-landed on an old abandoned runway and was serving as a home for a family of destitute Mexicans. Besid rs, the ep Tri-Motor carried 400 pounds of baggage and-or air mail in each wing. The space behind the door was described as "a waste" by an AA public relations man. Ford built 199 Tri-Motors be- tween 1926 and 1932. How or why the famous automobile manu- facturer got into the business of building airplanes is not known. One story is that Henry Ford, having given America a tin lizzie of the road, wanted to give the country a tin lizzie of the sky. ONE STILL SERVING Bob Davis of American Air- lines said a Tri-Motor still in service in Ohio carries a plaque Andicating the plane was made motor aircraft which is tour- ing a number of Ontario centres prior to being placed on display in the Smithsonian Motor Company. William Stout was a close friend of Ford. According to company offi- cials, the plane's corrugated aluminum alloy metal skin (hence the nicknames) gave it great strength. There is no cross bracing anywhere in the body.. The wing has bracing be- cause here are no_ struts. 'Monofilge" is the technical name for the body construction. Each of the nine - cylinder Pratt and Whitney Wasp engines developed 420 horsepower. The restored plane here yesterday was fitted with 450 horsepower P. and W, Wasp Junior engines. One official said two engines were sufficient to pull the plane, which may be why iri-motors never became popular. Maxi- mum range without refueling was 350-500 miles and cruising speed was 110 mph. Thirty years ago a_ cross- country trip in a Tri-Motor was not only.a noisy experience but a lengthy one--by today's' stan- dards. It-took nearly two days, with a dozen stops, to travel coast to coast. The Tri-Motor was not only the first all-metal transport--it was also the predecessor of to- day's airliner. It proved its ver- satility and dependability often, and was popular with pilots.

Subsequently it was learned that with assistance from the Municipal Loans Fund and the Winter Works Program, that the project would not be eligible for the Centennial grant. A bylaw was passed to set wheels in motion for the new building, and the Ontario Muni- cipal Board has tentatively ap- proved a $300,000 building, sub- ject to detailed reports of the township's financial position and five-year forecast. The building will be situated, as tentatively agreed, upon township property on Highway 2 and the Brock road, The question of architects arose and a debate ensued about their selection and how care- fully they must be selected in accordance with their previous achievements and their costs. | Councillor Willlam Newman |surprised the council by intro- |ducing a motion to hire a firm New Jersey, in 11 hours and 16/ of architects which is construct- minutes. jing other edifices in the town- Ford produced several models) ship, Craig, Ziedler, and Strong. of the Tri-Motor.

There will be no letter car- rier, parcel post or rural mail deliveries during the day. The lock box. lobby will be closed and no wicket service will be given, Special deliveries will be made as usual and there will be one complete collection from street letter boxes at the same time as the regular Sun- day afternoon collection. All mails will be received and dispatched as usual. to 645 employees. Out of this total, some 267 will receive salaries from $8,000 per- annum to $25,000 per annum, It is interesting to note that this new department, which is being created to assist industry in general, has built up its budget to almost 25 million dollars in this short space of time of only one year. In order to house this new department, the rental costs the taxpayers of Canada have to pay amount to some $400,000 This space provides space for flags of the countries represent- ed have been flying on Parlia- ment Hill. This is the third such confer-| ence ever held. Its purpose is to) exchange views, better under) standing of each other, and also) discussions are conducted on) the educational problems faced) by each country. ' FURTHER EDUCATION | Canada has stated that she) would not only continue contributions of scholarships and general assistance to the countries emerging into self- government, but that new schol- arships will be added. This of- fer will enable the people from these countries to receive fur- ther education in our Canadian universities. The purpose is that they may return to their own countries and improve the. edu- cational standards of their peo-| ple. Unfortunately, the 250 scholarships Canada orovided three years ago have not all] been taken up so far. Most Canadians will. agree essential to create better under. standing between the many races in the Commonwealth.

Councillor Harvey Spang op- posed it because he did not ap- prove the location, and Council- lors Wank. and Campbell be- cause they considered there should be 'more consideration and study made of various architects.

Mr. Wank said that he was not critical of the historical so- ciety, which had requested the grant for expansion of the town- ship museum, At the same time to move into spending too large a portion of the grant on his- torical matters was not. to his liking.

He said in a short statement: "Our school system is a very excellent one, second to none in Ontario, but it is fast growing and expanding. "T feel a secondary school superintendent should be ap- pointed. He should be brought in from outside, be a strong per- sonality with good organization- al ability and have fresh ideas and new approaches. "We have a public school superintendent, the logical step is to appoint a secondary school superintendent." George K.

The reeve_ stated that the cost of the elections, something like $600, would be charged. to the area in which the election takes place. "Were elections in School Area 2 paid for by the school area?" asked Councillor Wank. It was revealed that the School Area 2 elections took place at the same time as municipal elections, and were paid for out of the township general fund. Reeve Laycox disclosed that he had been told that the deci- sion for two school areas for Pickering Township had been made last February.
