Lack of Liners Booms Aviation In New Zealand By J. C. GRAHAM Canadian Press Correspondent 'Wellington, N.Z. (CP).--Shortage of passenger ships owing to "war- time losses, slowness in reconversion and shipping accidents, have caused a remarkable boom in post-war aviation in New Zealand. Before the war New Zealand had rapid and regular communication with Australia by a fleet of fast modern liners. The holder of the Tasman Sea blue ribbon, the Awa- tea, was sunk during the war. Other vessels are still being recon- verted for civilian use. The only remaining liner, the Wanganella, struck a reef on her first voyage after béing put back into service and has been laid up for repairs for over a year. For varying periods relief vessels have been used, as well as occa- sional liners crossing the Tasman in the course of longer voyages, but nearly three years after the end of the war there is still no regular sea link for passengers between the two Dominions which are so closely bound together that a considerable proportion of their people regularly interchange visits for both business and pleasure. The result has been an enormous growth in the demand for air pas- sages which for the time being have become the normal means of travel between the two countries. Daily flying boat service both ways across the Tasman have had to be supple- mented by regular flights by land planes. A somewhat similar position exists on the Pacific between New Zealand and the United States and Canada. The luxury liners which connected New Zealand with the United States before the war have not yet resumed service. An emer- gency service has been maintained at infrequent intervals by liners with only dormitory accommodation. Of the liners which plied between New Zealand and Canada, the Niagara was sunk during the war and the Aorangi is still undergoing reconversion, delayed by labor troubles, in Sydney. Consequently there are still no regular liners on the Vancouver-Auckland run. As on the Tasman Sea, air travel has received a great impetus through the lack of shipping ser- vices. The Pan-American Airways service between New Zealand and the United States and the British Pacific Airways Corporation's ser- vice to Canada have received a fly- ing start to their post-war opera- tions. At the same time New Zealand has created an air network covering a large number of the island groups in the South Pacific. Some of these islands in the past were visited only at long intervals by steamer after a roundabout voyage. Air services have brought them within hours of New Zealand and have tightened their ties with the Dominion, Geographical reasons have great- ly aided the growth of internal air services in New Zealand. To travel from Auckland, the largest city, Ste pny : NEUE SEEEE / NO) THER 33 FINER CICAREILT/! Go which is in the North Island, to any of the main South Island centres, requires a lengthy and tiring jour- ney by train, boat and again by train. At least two nights must be spent on the journey and a long wait is sometimes necessary for connections. Air travel makes it possible to leave Auckland after breakfast and be in the far south well before dinner the same day. DRUNK DRIVER DIDN'T Vancouver--(CP)--A drunk driver isn't driving if he can't get his car started, Magistrate Matheson ruled in a case here.

Princess Pats To Get Training As Paratroops Calgary, Aug.. 10--(CP)--A youthful Canadian general Monday told the war-famous Princess Patri. cia's Canadian Light Infantry they have been chosen to be trained as Canada's first airborne unit since the war. Maj.-Gen. C. C. Mann, 43, Vice Chief of the General Staff, arrived here Sunday from Toronto aboard a RCAF, transport plane to make the important announcement. The General, who knows what it is like to hit the silk, qualified as a para- trooper only last January. In an address he told the officers and men dr wn up before him at Currie Barracks the unit which ser- ved with distinction during the Ita- lian and northwest European cam- paigns of the second world war will commence arduous training as par- atroopers Oct. 11. Training of the unit, said Gen. Mann, will be in two distinct pha- ses: The first in parachute and the second in air-transported train- ing, both to be conducted concur- rently.
