Purchases By Farmers Of Machinery Up Total sales to Canadian farmers of new farm machinery and equip- ment have been increasing from year to year since 1943. In 1947 sales at retail values amounted to $146.6 million, more than three in 1939. Sales of repair parts at retail value in 1947 totalled $30 million. It is estimated .that the avail- able supply of farm equipment in 1948 will be about 25 per cent greater than in 1947. Imports of tractors- for the first eight months of 1948, including non-farm and garden tractors, have been 34 per cent higher than in the same period of 1947. Allowing for the normal seasonal reduction in tractor imports for the last four months of the year and for non- farm and garden tractors, the sup- ply of farm tractors in 1948 may approximate 43,000 units, as com- pared with some 33,000 units in 1947, an increase of 30 per cent. vy AL33VS O33 IW Pay Bonus To Flying Clubs ForNewPilots Ottawa, Dec. 6--Honorable Lionel Chevrier, Minister of Transport, to- day announced that Orders in Coun- cil No. 5518 had been passed au- thorizing financial assistance by the Government to approved flying clubs or schools participating in stu- dent pilot training. In making the announcement, the Minister stated that thig new pro- gram which will be administered by the Air Services Branch of the De- partment of Transport will provide for a grant of $100 to each approved flying club or flying school for each qualified pilot turned out, and also $100 payable to each student upon his or her qualifying for private pilot's license from the depart- ment, 4 A' further cash 'benefit in the amount of one hundred, dollars is evailable under the plan to any trainee meeting RCAF service quali- fications, and joining either the RCAF reserve or the RCAF auxil- iary. | Mr. Chevrier said that the Order in Council authorizes the Minister of Transport to enter into agree- ment with clubs, schools, and stu- dents for enrolment into an approv- ed course of training provided that such clubs and schools are in good standing with their respective na- tional associations. Commenting upon- the scheme, Mr. Chevrier stated that "This ney training scheme follows the intro- duction of the high standard of pilot licensing 'laid down by the Inter- national Civil Aviation Organiza- tion, which call for the introduc- tion of much higher standards for pilot training. "Canada's agreement with the de- cisions of the International Civil Aviation Organization will necessi- tate a completely new approach to the development of civil flying train- ing in this country," said the Min- ister. "Not only will this new scheme serve to develop interest in civil aviation by our youth all across the Dominion, but I believe also that, as it progresses, the public will see the possibilities of increasing and developing the scope of our interna- tional trade and travel by the intel- ligent use of civil aircraft. It is my firm belief that we shall, in the not too distant future, come to realize the risks that would have become attendant had we left the develop- ment of civil air transportation to other states and countries." "By Canada's concurrence and our government's ratification of the sound proposals of the Internation- al Civil Aviation Organization, we are assisting that body in its task to generally promote the development |of all aspects of international civil aeronautics." The opening date for the new fly- ing training scheme has been set for January 1, 1949, and between now and that time, the managers of fly- ing clubs and schools will be busy reorganizing their ground school fa- cilities, flying and administrative staffs. Because of the more exact- ing requirements and conditions laid down under the new procedure of pilot training, a very thorough land rigid appraisal of facilities is | needed. The forms of agreements will be in the hands of the Air Services | District Controllers by December 15, and in order to secure an agreement, the flying club or school must quale ify for special endorsement of its operating certificate in order to par- ticipate in the new scheme. Air Vice-Marshal A. T. N. Cow- ley, Director of Air Services, De- partment of Transport, stated to- | day that there will be a number of clubs or schools across Canada that are in operation and have also the necessary facilities with which to meet the minimum conditions for special endorsement of the operat- ing certificate now in effect. He said that these clubs or schools may en- ter upon these agreements imme- diately, and be ready for operation under the new program by the ef- fective date of January 1, 1949. District Controllers of Air Ser- vices where agreements and com- plete instructions regarding the new pilot training scheme may be ob- tained are: 8S. S. Foley, MBE, Moncton, N. B. AV.M, A. de Niver- ville, CBE, Montreal, Que, J. R. Robertson, M.B.E., Toronto, Ont- ario; D. G. Joy, AF.C., Winnipeg, Man.; J. RK. Main, Edmonton, Al- ta.; and G. A. Thompson, Vancou- ver, B.C. In the matter of the qualifica- tions required of students wishing to participate in the scheme, the Department of Transport has an- nounced that a student pilot permit must be obtained through the Dis- trict Inspector, Air Regulations. Before the student may partici- pate in the scheme or the cash benefits, it is necessary that a med- ical examination be undergone by a medical examiner approved by the Department of Transport. When this has been accomplished, and the stu- dent pilot permit has been issued, then the student may enter into the agreement, and commence tuition.

The transfer was made without iahlare 8 retiring Skip- per Ed Alker called 'the troop to the opening horseshoe, asked for the new Skipper, Loran Stewart, saluted, and turned over the troop. Patrol Leader Roy Hartley was called on to break the flag, the new Skipper spoke briefly to the Sea Scouts, and the boys were sent to their corners. Skipper Alker then ran off a relay race, and this was fol- lowed by instruction in patrol corners. This was followed by a clash between 'smugglers and police'. Skip Alker then delivered a lecture on semaphore sig- nalling with special emphasis on the angles of the flags. Winding up the lecture he taught the Scouts the first circle of the semaphore alphabet. After this the troop was called back to the horseshoe, the flag was lowered by Pat- rol Leader Hartley, prayers were sald, and the troop dismissed.

During the evening, this person was horrified to see that some of the old timers have forgotten some of the knots taught them. This person suggests that practice ®t home start soon. The Skipper tactfully reminded us that the 9th of Dec: (next meeting) will be the patro. competition. Nat- urally, the Sea Gulls will win, but we wonder if Bunner can make any sort of showing? Tests in Tenderfoot for those warned will end on the 16th of December, and at that time those that haven't passed their tenderfoot in the pas$ three months will be on the out- side looking in, you about this three months ago!
