On Shnday October 17th, 1920, J. R. Myers, of South Porcupine,; Passed away at the Haileybury hospital after being seriou‘tly I1] for several weeks. He was for some time principal of the South Porcuâ€" pine Public School and later was clerk of the Township of Tisdals, and was very widely known and highly esteemed in the Porcupine district. He went overâ€" seas with a battalion for which he seâ€" cured a number cof recruits in the Porâ€" cupine. Licuk Myers had a very creditable war record overseas. He was wounded at Passachendale, and while he seemed to make a good recovery it was; found that ilâ€"effects of his war service permanently undermined hiso strong physique. The Jlate M*~.

Training their supoors in the air, and it is the power of the Royal Air Porce that is now protecting Britain from terrible desâ€" trmetion at the hands of the Nazi bombers, The war, therefore,â€"is forcing the aircraft building industry along at a terrific pace. Under the pressure of wartime demands experts are resoiving production problems and improving airâ€" craft desizns at an unprecedented rate. Pilets are training in tens of thousands while tens of thousands: of others stand ready to replace them in the schools when they have earned their wings. New airfields and new aircraft factorâ€" ies are springing up almost overnight. The air fieets of the next few years may well blot out the sun in their pasâ€" driver ‘by some visitor allowed to see nim during the day, and with this removed the hinges from the heavy door.

Mosher, in The Oval) Who will deny that World War No. II has resolved itself into a struggle for the mastery of the skies and that the acroplane has become one of the most important Of military weapons? What of postâ€"war aviation? When the lass machine gun has chattered into silence and the last bomb has ‘“*on released, we shall turn our enerâ€" gies to shaping the new social and economic Oorder that must follow the victory of the democracies. When that time comes it is almost certain that For an idea of what the aceroplanes of 1944 may be like, let us go back to the first World War and see how their design and performance transâ€" formed in these four yvears The aercpmane entered World War No. I in "short pants.‘"‘ Eleven years out of its cradle, it was little altered from the first flimsy creation of bambso sticks, linen and wire flown by the Wright Brothers in 1903.

Pilct and observer sat in bucket seats on an open framework of spars, fully exposed to the elements. A forty horsepower moâ€" tor drove the machine at a maximum speed of sixty miles an hour; its best range on a full fuel tank was about one hundred miles;, and its performance was undependable. "Armed reconnaisance" was the term applied to the first miliâ€" tary flights, in which the observer carried a pistol or a sawedâ€"off shotgun, and a basket of bricks with which to "bomb" the enemy trenches. By 1918, countless developments had made the aeroplane into a swift maâ€" chine of destruction, capable of intriâ€" cate amerobatics, twice the speed of its 1914 ancestor, and plentifully equipped with stings in the form of synchronizâ€" ed machine guns or tons of explosives. In civil life again, the acroplane took o new important duties. Developed to adult statue it was able to assume the work of transporting mail and passenâ€" gers. Capital and science gradually came to its aid. Courageous piloneer pilots blazed new trails over continents and Ooceans, demonstrating the aeroâ€" plane‘s everâ€"increasing possibilities. Slowly public confidence grew, in spite of the frequent crash headlines blazonâ€" «i1 across the newspapers. _ Aircraft in 1840 are still expensive handâ€"made machines, built up by the i.careful assembly of sometimes as many ‘as 50,000 individual parts. A method of mass production which will simpliâ€"| {y the construction and reduce the price. of a private light aeroplane to someâ€" thing comparable with what is paid for automobiles todgy, is what is required to bring flying within the reach of the average man. That such cheap massâ€" production will be possible within the next year or two is practically a certâ€" aintyâ€"thanks again to plasitics. Proâ€" cesses at prosent used by aircraft firms picneering in this field make use of laminations of plastics and plywood, and go under such names as "Duraâ€" _mold" and Aermold". \ Experimental building of plasticsâ€" plywood aircraft began about five years ago. The first success was achieved by Dr. N. A. de Bruyne, in England. Dr. de Bruyne actually succeeded in buildâ€" ing a training aeroplane entirely Oof reâ€" inforced plastics, Today four Amerâ€" ican aircraft firms are actively engaged on experimental work. â€" Fairchild conâ€" structed a moulded reinforced plastic fuselage for their model "Fâ€"46A" three years ago, in collaboration with the Haskelite Corporation a plastics conâ€" sern at Grand Rapids Michigan. Reâ€" search on the plastics problems involvâ€" ed in this job was carried on jointly by Col. V. E. Clark, a veteran aircraft designer, and Dr. Leo Hendrick Backeâ€" iand, "the father of modern plastics". The machine was equipped with conâ€" ventional type wings and control surâ€" faces. It has fiecwn thousands Of hours Some imaginative capitalists investâ€" ed and the metallurgists contributed light steel alloys and duraluminum to make possible the first allâ€"metal agroâ€" planes which greatly increased the lifeâ€" span of aircraft, and with it public conâ€" fidence.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO ‘__In 1939 on the eve of the war, the ‘aviation indusitry was reaching colossal proportions. A glance at a world air map of that year shows that there was scarcely a country which was not served by regular air services,, and cceans were no longer obstacles. It is only a few yvears since transâ€"Atlantic flights were front page news, and yet today British and American airlines ‘span the oceans on regular schedules and plan to increase the service soon |to daily flights North American airâ€" ‘lines are expected to fly, this year, a total of ome kullion passenger miles. Dosigners seized upon this crystal clear substance, which had the transluâ€" cent properties of glass but was shatterâ€" proof and could be moulded under heat treatment to any required curvature. W.th it they achieved advanced streamâ€" lining and great increases in speed. As war aircraft production became imperâ€" ative and more widespread, transparent plastics, "Ducite" in particular, were used fcor gun turrets, bombâ€"aimers‘ windows and windowszareens on bombâ€" ers and fighters. For this purpose it left nothing to be «desired, for it would not shatter under the impact <f bullets, As aeroplanes acquired heavier enâ€" gines;, more instruments larger fuel Icads, more armanent and numerous gadgets, weight became a real problem and designers fought to reduce it. Opaâ€" que plastics thereby supplied another need of the aircraft industry, for. today literally dozens of small plastics in prefâ€" erence to heavier materials. it was lisht in weight, gave maximum visibility to the air crew, and could be shaped to provide the least windâ€"resistâ€" ance at hish spseds. With transparâ€" ent plastics the square corners were knocked off the aircraft. ed ligh} transsceiver sets which enabled first groundâ€"toâ€"aircraft communication and later the modern pointoâ€"toâ€"point radio beams, by which filying airzgraft defy bad weather. Governments lenit valuable support in cash subsidies and scientific research. And so through suczcessive stages the aeroplane develspâ€" ed to a highly perfected state. The chomical industry contributed to airzsraft development during the last war with cellulose acetate wing "dope" amd special adhesive suitable for airâ€" craft work. When about six years ago chemistry introduced transparent plasâ€" tics for aircraft production, there apâ€" peared vast new possibilities in the field of aircraft design. in the past two years and a half, and reports indicate that the reinforced plastics fuselage have proved imperâ€" vious to weather and proof against flisht stresses, dents or seratches. Recently three other plastics aircraft have made their appearance, â€" One is The plastics aircraft is still in its infancy, and all these so far consftrueted <f[ "the lightplane class; but it is ! l‘ikely that agzressive research and :experiments now proseeding will lead to undreamed of triumphs. Cheap massâ€" i production of aircraft seems to be just farouncl the corner, and plastics aircraft in unbelievable numbers, may form the |air fleets that will help to bring this | war to a successful conclusion. E Anda after allâ€" in peacetimeâ€" well, \ you may be buying a sleek fowurâ€"passenâ€" \ ger 1946 model capable of, shall we say, ‘200 miles an hour and wellâ€"nigh foolâ€" iproo:f performance at about the same !| price you now pay for one of the cheapâ€" ‘er cars.

So far three out of eighteen synthetic resins testsd have besn found capable of standing up to flight stresses to which they would be subjected. So far, best results© have been obtained with lamâ€" inations of wood .veneer and thermoâ€" setting resin.
