Llaid Foundation- ' For Progress In Civil Aviation

(BY GUY E. RHOADES)

(Canadian Press Staff Writer)

AWA, Dec. 2'.!»—(CP)~—Pro- Fess as made in Canada's civil aviation program in 1936 though the most significant development: took place on the ground, dealt with the future and were somewhat hampered by the present.

The government decided io hasten the day when regular airliners w-ll fly across the country and to name an agency to participate in a trans- Ailantic air service. Nobody knows definitely when the trans-Canadian air service will begin and the irons- Atlaniic service must. be preceded by o. thorough progrom oi exper- imental flying which has not been started.

However, these things were done:

Hon. C. D. Howe was named min- hier of transport and communicat- ion’ laking charge of civil aviation which formerly was under direction of the department of national de- fence.

13st. july 23 fir. not... announced Canada would join the United Kingdom and the Irish Free state in forming a joint company to 0D- eratc a trans-Atlantic service. The United Kingdom named Imperial Airways to represent it in the joint company and, the three participat- ing countries decided Imperial Air- ways would conduct survey oper- ations which were postponed last summer.

It was said orders for military aircraft were so pressing in Britain it ivas impossible to obtain delivery of sufficient civil machines to per- mit a start on the survey. Wm‘ scares of the present, it was con- tended, delayed advent of the future service.

In tho joint company miperla-l Airways will hold 51 per cent 0f the stock. representatives of Canada and the Irish Free Stats 24 1-2 DB1‘ cent each. Provision was made for oo-operation of Pan-American Alr- ways and it was decided a southern route might be flown via Bermuda and New York.

ATLANTIC Il/OUTIJ SURVEY

A tentative route over which the survey will be made would have air harbor; Ln England at the mouth of the River Shannon in Ireland. at Garder Lake in northern New- foundland and at Montreal, The tron-Canada airways would join the trans-Atlantic system at Mon- trcal.

Canada and the Free State have not named their representatives on ihe joint operating company. Can-

iis coiist-io-coast airmail service. but Mr. Howe told a Montreal aud- ience Nov_ 2 it was hoped the 5"- vice could be developed through co-operntion of the railways and the government.

Groundwonk on the trans-Can- ada airways is almost complete and at least 40 transport pilots have been trained in instrument flying cii modern, high-speed pfones.

civil flying of mail’ express and frciglit has expanded along the frontiers during the year. The post office department statistics show 944,490 pounds of airmail ivcrc carried during ihc 10 months eiidcd Ort. 3i, nn increase of 37.217 pound over the £1811" m!‘ the corresponding period of i935_

Sump prophecy the trans-Canada service will start next year, others sny i: will not start for two years. It might take all next summer to 1113p the Atlantic rouic but Mr. Howe told his Montreal audience li=. cxpecicd a service to operate be- tween England and the Pacific const by i938. _

Oin Dec_ 4 the minister announced the government would not Permit destructive competition 0n I'll‘- trans-Canada line and would pra- vent it by using Mr. ‘Rowe's lic- cncing authority. He warned in- vestors to bear that in mind and avoid disappointment. Adminis- trative plsns reached the blue-print stage. but contractors did not appear on the scene and prospec- tive personel was busy Bewllli! "'5 apprenticeship,

Will Five Regional

Control Points

OITAWA. Dec. 25 — Btabllsh- ment of five regional control cen- tres for Canadian broadcasting ser- vices, initiation of a three or five- year engineering program to com- plete and improve coverage, and a ban on religous "wars" on the air, were some of the policies annulm- ced today by the Canadian Broad- casting Corporation. -

Following a. meeting of the nine members of the board of governors, W. Gladstone Murray, general man- ager for the corporation, issued a statement in future courses of action decided upon by the board.

Decentralization of control is ex- pected to bring about more flexi- bility, the general manager stated, and regional areas will be set up in the Maritime Provinces. Quebec. Ontario, the Prairie Provinces and British Columbia.

To provide entertainment of a distinctly Canadian tone and at- mosphere, the corporation will ar- range a series of three programs, two topical and tlie third historical. The topical series will bring the Canadian industrial scene to the air in broadcasts from mines, lumber woods, the for north and other sources of typically Canadian activ- ity. There will also be a series illu- sirntive of the activities of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

The historical series will take the form of “Reminisccnces of tircsl. Canadians of the Past." ,

“Acrimoliious debates between spokesman for diffcrrnt re igious organizations, which have been rc- ccnily on the air in various parts of the country, are to (‘(‘i\"-C," ihc announcement ccntiniicd. "The CBC is to use iis authority to sup- rz-‘ess them. Sermons and tu k4 about religion will have io be coli- iined in future to positive pleadings for the cause being- prornolcd by tho speaker.

R. G. A; Victor Gives Cash Distribution _ rTo Employees

PRESIDENT l. C. GRIIMLEY POINTS OUT PROGRESS MADE IN EXTENDING EM- PLOYIWENT.

Mr. B. O. Grlmley, President of RCA Victor Company Limited, an- nounced a cash distribution this week to all of the weekly and monthly employed staff in step with improved conditions and results for the year experienced by the Com- pl-my.

At the same time an increase af- fecting a substantial number of hourly paid employees, following several such increases throughout recent months. has raised the scale of wages generally throughout the whole organization for the year.

Mr. Grlmley further stated that if...» lo the improved volume of business they had increased the orange number of employees by ;0llfi—thll‘d ovcr last year, and by ‘progress in planning and schedul-

ing, had spread tlic employment out more cvcnly over the year; thus resulting in zfstezidicr and long or period of employment to a larg- ci" nunibcr of workers than has bcr-ii experienced for many years. Ho siiggoicd that he had good reason to believe that other com- panies in Canada hzid also made progress iii levelling; out the term of their employment, as well as " having increased wages during tho past year. Ml‘. Grimlcy emphasiz- ed that constructive steps of this nature showed confidence on the part of the management of in- dustry that will assure the ac- celeration of the economic recov-

, cry now well under way.

l V‘ then moved to Three Riversfwhere a strike in 1935 at the Wabasso Cotton Company's plant was inves- tigoicd. Woriing conditions, the company's zittiiide to trade unions, the history of Wabasso since its in- ception, all formed the subject of inquiry’.

The wooded areas within conven- fmt driving distance of the larger, cities, particularly in Ontario, have again suffered depletion despite their owners’ vigilance. Several in- stances havo oome to light of gar-i den trees being cut down by van- dals. Just the other day yovv! evergreens planted around the Un- iversity of Western Ontario build- ings in London were slashed down‘ and carried away.
