» -- 4 ------ mm GANADA RAPIDLY TAKES T0 THE AIR Air Mail Routes Strengthen Long-established Govern. mental Services -- . (By Canadian Press) ; tawa, Ont, June 25. -- Canada's "air-mindness" is rapidly developing. Actial activities are being engaged in to a degree hitherto unanticipated and even yet unrealized by the great mass of Canadians, The current has witnessed tremendous strides in the direction of air transportation, and to a very large extent the coun- try, owes, this to the energy and the patience 'of a little group of govern- nent officers, who, appreciating what the future held for Canada in the way of aviation, . have steadily in- spired and guided its development hat may turn out to be the most me of their efforts is the es- tablishment of the light aeroplane slubs throughout the country. The Pp se of such organizations is to stimulate interest in flying and that stimulus is provided by the govern- ment donating, under certain specific but extremely simple conditions, a couple of "Moth" "planes to each club. At the moment there are 13 regularly incorporated organizations in the country, and 11 of them have ualified for and been furnished with their government "Moths" Cities like Montreal and Toronto find them- selves equipped, but the smaller towns are not neglected and it is only a few days ago that Col. The Hon. J. L. Ralston, Minister of De- fense, inaugurated a club in the little municipality of Granby, Que. Granby has provided the sponsors of the Tight aeroplane clubs with their most potent agency to bring other Canadian cities and towns into line. "What Granby can do, you can del" is the ready response to all who desire to register complaint against the difficulties in their path, who de-4 clare, perhaps, that the government's terms are too exacting or their re- quirements too stringent, Friendly rivalry and civic patriotism do the rest. Apart from this aspect of develop- ment in "air-mindedness," however, is the fact that in few countries of the world have aeroplanes been used officially to such an extent as in Canada. This country was the pio- neer in aerial survey of forests. Most of the provinces which are heavily timbered--and that means at, least four--have for years engaged in the work of forest protection and forest survey by air! observers. In both tario and Quebec airmen have played a large part in the detection of bush-fires, and considerable map- making work has been effected by the same means. The remote mining districts of nor- thern Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba have been served by aerial transpor- tation for several years. Trips which usually have been reduced to only a few hours. With tis has been the carrying of supplies and equipment into those areas, and de- velopment that has reached a high degree of success. or almost a year now a Canadian 'THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1928 Amazing Laxative Rich| in Iron and Phosphates Here is a marvelous new kind of saline laxative which enriches the blood instead of depleting it!

Their function is linked 4 with the near-completion of the Hudson Bay Railway, from a point in Saskatchewan to Fort Churchill.

A couple of planes will shortly reach Fort Churchill for the purpose of conducting the same important work as that done in the Straits, An _ additional interest has been contributed to aerial work through the establishment of an annual tro- phy, donated by the late J. Dalzell McKee, the Pittsburgh millionaire aviation enthusiast who was killed in a crash last year. This is awarded to the airman who has made the most meritorious contribution to aviation in Canada during the year. It was presented for 1927 to Captain H. A. Oaks, whose work had mainly been in demonstrating the practica- bility of winter flying in northern Manitoba. Air Mail Extending Air mail routes are being devel- oped. Last year experiments were carried on with aircraft meeting in- coming and outgoing liners at Rim- ouski, on the St. Lawrence, and bringing trans-Atlantic mail to Mon- treal. This has now been extended, and contracts have been regularly let for the continuation of the service for the next three years. Toronto and Ottawa have been brought in on this scheme. - The Canadian postal authorities have negotiated for an international air-mail service between Montreal and Albany, . where connection will be made with U.S, trans-continental air mails, Toronto--Buffalo, and To- ronto--Windsor are routes that are now engaging the attention of the department, Western Canada will he surveyed this year by airmen from the department of national defense with a view to establishing air-mail services to the prairie provinces.

Owen, Ohio, Inventor of "First" Automobile, Talks of Failures BUILT CAR WHEN 14 Story of Steam Wagon He Made -- Had No "Regrets" In his little garage-like shop in Springfield, Ohio, to the tune of his mbtor and lathe, H. W. Owen dreams of a glory that might have been his. It is a dream of the lost possibili- ty of being the first automobile pio- neer and inventor in the United States. In fact, he is the first, Owen insists, although little credit, if any, is given him in official automotive cirtles, Digging back into the recesses of his memory, Harry Owen, now grey haired and 56, recalls the day when at the age of 14 he caused a stir in his village by appearing on the streets with a smoke-belching, snorting con- traption that moved without horse or man power. It was in the spring of 1886, in Richwood, Ohio, that Harry Owen got his ideas from the locomotives that passed by the town. He locked himself. in . his room and drew his plans for his motor, Without funds and denied aid hy his father, a surgeon for the Erie railroad, the boy was forced to do all the work himself. He raised $12.50 from the sale of old rags, copper and junk. With $2.50 of this be hought a crucible which he used to melt old brass given him by friendly employees of the rail- road, The story of that "steam wagon" is a tale of callouses, hard work and deprivations. The parts of the ma- ching were all made by the boy him self with patterns made from oll pine hoxes, chiseled with a surgical knife purloined from his father's collection and 'sand given him hy friends in a foundry at Warren, Ohio. The lad took a year to complete the job. Then he started out to prove to the town that his work Had not heen in vain, The coal-burning, smoke-helching monster came down the street at the unprecedented rate of 17 miles an hour. People ran from their homes to see what "that Owen boy was up to." Horses broke from their hitch- ing racks and ran down the streets, trailing a rocking buggy or wagon in their wake. The village marshal was puzzled, He could not stop the machine from operating, as there were no laws to cover this emergency, so upon the pretext that 150 pounds pressure reg- istering on the steam gauge was dan- gerous, he ordered the boy to reduce it. The reducing process was accom- plished by changing the position of the needle to read "50 pounds" in- r-- "|'eredit because ! patents on parts ar stead of "150 pounds," and the mar- shal was satisfied, *'lowing that 50 pounds of steam wasn't going to hurt anybody." In the fall, Harry stored his ma- | chine in his father's barn, where a | fire reduced it to ashes and twisted metal. During the next few years the lad of protective patents, Altogether, he has made and sold 27 accessories, He heids no ill feeling toward those others, but says: "Well, all I made mine for was to have a good time, and I did."
