By STEWART MacLEOD Canadian Press Staff Writer CHARLOTTETOWN (CF)
Carl B-urke still works 16 hours a_day trying to expand his Mar- itime Central Air-ways» but he doesn't begrudge Trans - Canada Air Lines its virtual monopoly.
The stocky flier looked out at the tarmac where he had literally flown from the seat of his pants to a plush executive suite as he talked of new government pro- i>0SalS 0 D e n i n g domestic air routes to competition.
“I have never disagreed with the original policy that gave TCA -the break,” he said quietly. “There just isn’t room for com- petition. especially in Eastern Canada. You can always get a reservation, and good service. I wish the country could support competitionabut that's the way it is.”
SHY EXECUTIVE
This frank statement comes from a shy, boyish executive who practically hand - built his com- pany into a bustling $8,000,000 in- dustry.
At 45 Carl B-urke has changed little from the quiet radio sales- man who worked for $12 a week in a Charlottetown store trying to save enough to buy an air- plane. And even though he is the biggest businessman in the prov- ince, the youngsters around town still call him Ca-rl.
The principal owner of MCA re- ceived his first airline franchise in 1941 before he owned an air- craft, but he hasn't reached the stage where he sits back and re- laxes. He has almost given up flying, however, and his employ- ees have adopted his motto, “we will fly anything anywhere."
Pondering the new government proposals at g ain, Mr. Burke thought about the Montreal-Goose Bay-La=brado-r run now operated by TCA. “I wouldn’t mind get- ting that,” he said in his quiet, definite manner. “TCA is not making money there, but I think we could.”
Perhaps it was the challenge that -appealed to the Charlotte- town native. Anyway his com- pany is after that route. PERSISTENCE PAID OFF
Mr. Burke’-s problems started back in the 19305 when his fi- nances wouldnfit s,u p p o rt his dreams of an airline. He travelled 200 miles to Saint John, N.B., to take flying lessons, all financed by his radio-selling job, and he could afford only an hour or two on each trip. '
While still in his teens Burke and a friend bought an old
M.C.A.’s Carl Burke Is Still Bent On Expansion
CARL BURKE
double - winged Tiger Moth for $600 and the young pilot made his first flying money by taking‘ travellers b etwee n Maritime points after they had missed trains. He made his start in or- ganized commercial aviation by joining Canada Airways.
When the war broke ou-t he and Joe Anderson, also of Charlotte- town, beca-me Atlantic ferry pi- lots hoping to earn enough to buy a commercial airliner. Anderson was killed on his last flight.
Armed with $5,000 he had earned by 1941 the young ferry pilot was granted the Saint John- Charlottetown franchise. Then he interested F. T. Briggs of Toronto and L. R. Champion of Montreal. They pu-t up $45,000 and Burke bought an eight-passenger Barley- Grow. a four4.pas~senger Fairc-hild 24 and rented a 10 - passenger Boeing 247-D.
With this equipment Mar-iti...e Central Air-ways was launched and its chief pilot was Carl Burke.
Mr. Briggs now is president of the airline. Mr. Champion died last year.
RAPID GROWTH
The airline’s growth was strik- ing. The number of pilots and air- craft has fluctuated with con- tracts, but the regular passenger service, concentrated in the Mar- itimes, Newfoundland and Labra- dor, has been winging ahead. Seventeen planes are in regular service, including three DC4’s on transatlantic charter service.
The line had never lost a pas- senger life until a loaded DC-4, ca-r-rying former servicemen and
family members home from Brit-
lsln to Toronto. plowed Into 5-
Qliebec -slvalnp last Aucfusl kill- ing 79 persons in Canada's worst air crash. The crash shook Mr. Burke badly.
During the DEW line operation in the north MCA filled half the Canadian transport contracts and had a remarkable safety record. More than 500 people — about twice the present num-ber—w'ere then on the payroll, and Mr. Burke did his share at the con- trols.
But since then he has allowed
‘ his licence to lapse and does lit-
tle flying except as a passenger. He makes frequent trips to Mont- real where his firm owns Nord air, a 20<plane Quebec and far northern service.
I-n his heyday there was no job for the rather short, nearly- dresscd flier. In 1943 when fou-r RCAF men crash-landed on a Gulf of St. Lawrence ice floe Capt. Burke made four landings in the hazardous floes, taking out one airman at a time. For this he was made an officer of the British Empire.
VARIETY OF JOBS .
Besides this he has flown pros- pectors in remote northern areas, sought seals with airborne hunt- ers and looked for minerals with geologists. His cargoes have in- cluded live seals. bulldozers, hay, strawberries, live monkeys and just people. '
On dangerous Arctic missions Capt. Burke pioneered many of the uncharted landing strips.
An employee, asked about his boss, said, “Carl will never ask to do something he won’t do him- self.” ’
Charlottetown youngsters like Ca-rl too. When the sports arena went bankrupt three years ago Mr. Burke and president Briggs took over the building, spent $120,000 and ensured the kids a rink. When a Baptist church. of which Mr. Burke is a member, needed property the airline boss donated a $32,000 building and lot.
He spends most of his free time with his five-boy family, making up the sixth member of a family hockey team. With his wife ref-ereeing, he skates hap- pily with a felt hat covering his almost-bald head.
OIL BOAT ARRIVES
SWANSEA, Wales (Reuters) — Nigeria’s first shipment of oil to Britain arrived Friday aboard the 16,000 ton tanker Clyde Crusader. The tanker will disiharge about 7,000 tons of ‘crude oil at the Brit- ish Petroleum Company’s ire- finery at Llandarcy, Wales. This is the Nigerian Federation’: sec- ond export shipment of oil. The first tanker load went recently to refineries in Holland.

- Indian Missionary “Work
Indian work of The United Church of C a n a d a wa—s never more eflfective than it is today, Rev. Dr. M. C . Macdonald, sec- retary of The United Churc‘h‘s Board of Home Missions, told the annual meeting of his Board, meeting in Toronto today. Dr. MacDonald" is a native of Rose Vialiey, P.-.‘E..I.
Increase in ordained ministers for Indian work, a gradual ju- crease in United Clh-urclli person- nel with a missionary concern, and rehabilitation of obsolete churches and mission houses, have strengthened the morale of workers and improved the res- ponse of the Indian people. Dr. Macdonalld said. He said that the appointment of Rev. E. E. M. Jobllin to work full-time in Indian missions, will increase the effic- iency of the Oh-uroh’-s Indian Mis- sion work.
CHURCH HOSPITAL
VI-Eospitai work of‘ the United Church had also improved during the year, Dr. Ma-cdona-ld said. Doctors possessed a sense of the Christian mission. Workers in the hospitals possess the same Chris- tian ideals, he said.
“There -must -be no standing still in home missions,” Dr. Macdon- a-ld said. “There must -be out-

reach; anaiysi-s of what we should ‘be doing. plans for what -must be done. The Churclh must serve at the new crossroads, in the distlirb- ing transiti-onis. on the frontiers far and near. We must show that God cares by expressing the spir- it of the Christian Gospel.” D-ELINQUENCY
Church buildings in the down- town areas do not ‘-have adequate programs and workers, he said. Delinquency is found in over-chur- ched areas downtown, because ex- isting ch-urclhes had been weaken- ed. He said that the Board of Home Missions is now studying «downtown chumclh work in -nine city areas.
Many Old Country min-siters are seeking settlement i-n Canada, the Board was told. Last year there were 38 applications. ‘Fifteen Old Country ministers were settled in Canada.
