M. Raha, leader of India's delegation to the assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organizati on, emphasized that transportation in his country can no longer be associated with the elephant | cal and the bullock cart. Rather the country is moving apace with the new world. ; It will come as somewhat of a surprise to the uninform- ed that Indian air lines today fly every day a distance equal to once around the world at the equator. Over 60 million passenger miles were flown last year without a single pas- senger fatality. India today has more than 400 aircraft on her civil aircraft register. She has a network of fine air- dromes which ate constantly being improved with modern radio communication and navigational aids. A big construc- tional program is under way to further extend her air lanes. Stressing the fact that India confidently looks forward, .® Readers' Views RELIEF FOR GREECE Editor, Fimes-Gazette, Dear Sir . On May 14 the Oshawa Times- Gazette carried a news story under the heading "Labor Council Opposes Greek China Drives." Mr. 8. H.. Atkinson, the spokes- man for the Labor Council, seems to be entirely misinformed as to the purpose of the Canadian Relief to Greece Appeal, and the manner in which the funds will be spent. Not one cent of money will be sent out of Canada, and the sup plies purchased with Canadian di lars will not be handled by the Greek Govenrment. Canadian dollars will provide mobile medical, X-ray and dental units and supplies. These supplies will be purchased from Canadian suppliers in Canada, thus giving . |employment to Canadian industry. All supplies will be shipped to Greece through the facilities of the Canadian Red Cross Society and will be handled in Greece by the Greek Red Cross under the super- vision of General LaFleche, Cana- dian Ambassador to Greece. You can readjly see that these supplies will reach the people of Greece who are desperately in need of medical and hospital supplies. Today there are 500,000 persons in Greece suffering from tuberculosis and only hospital facilities to care for 20,000. There are 2,000,000 under- nourished and sick children and 375,000 orphans roaming the coun- tryside looking for food and medi- care. The Greek nation effectively stall- ed the Axis drive through Southern Europe, and it was their gallant stand which gave the western dem- ocracies time to arm. Surely no one can dehy that these people are worthy of our help. The labor leaders, together with all the people in Canada today, are anxious for a lasting peace. There can be no lasting peace in a hungry world . . . a world where any child needs bread. It is my hope that you will con- vey the actual facts to Mr. Atkin- son and other labor leaders in Osh- awa either personally or through the facilities of your paper. : g you for your co-opera- Tem "We cannot ignore the factor of time,"--Marshall --Fitzpatrick in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch ® 30 Years Ago eo Other Editors At the seventh annual meeting of the Oshawa YM.C.A, W.

No consideration has been given to scrapping the planes. ) 5. One of the determining factors behind the R.C.A.F. de- - cision to discontinue use of the plane was that it does not fit in with the great extremes of climate and weather which are encountered in Canada. These conditions made the plane expensive to maintain. However, there are other countries in which the climate is much more equitable and where the plane can be used to advantage. . - It would be a pity if the planes of the type which earned such a fine reputation during the war were to be scrapped. There has been much criticism of War Assets Corporation to.date regarding sale of surplus materials. When it is con- sidered that the Mosquito planes, which will be offered for sale shortly, are worth approximately 30 million dollars it can be seen that a determined effort should be made to dispose of them to the best advantage. ® For A Laugh Coming and Going A depressed-looking fellow stroll- into the restaurant.

As is the case here, Cobourg service stations remain vopen from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and take turns in remaining open on Sundays.

Up to that time there had been such keen competition that stations were open until all hours with resultant pyramiding of the wage bill for attendants.
