I might win 't.''

A native of Amherat,N.Sv Capt. Maclnnls has been flying since the RCAF. taught him how during the Second World War. He is inur- rled and has seven children. three of whom also work for Maritime Ceiitral at Mont Joli. Que.. about 10 miles from St. Luce.

HONORED

Maclnnis "is considered one of the toughest in the history Of Canadian commercial aviation."

"Drifting snow and reduced vis- iblllty were constant hazards and made the problem of locating the advance party on the second and third flights into each point al- most as difficult as spotting the site initially. These early flights were all made without local nav- igatlonal aids of any sort . . . .

"Capt. Maclnnis carried on well beyond the normal call of duty in completing the operation under extremely difficult conditions and in a short pace of time."

Capt. Maclnnis enlisted in the

FREDERICTON (CP) - The Progressive Conservative govern- ment of New Biunswick, only one in the Atlantic provinces, gained one seat and increased its popular ylote in Monday's provincial elec-

on. Heading the party cry to "Carry on, Hugh John," New Brimswick electors sent Premier Hugh John Flemming and his party back into office with 37 seats in the legislature-one more than in the last house. - Their share of the popular vote jumped by more than four per cent. The Liberal percentage fell more than five per cent com- pared with the last election four years ago.
