Pit Props May Be New P. E. I. Industry

Tlie increasing demand for Pit Props by the British Government for ihe coal mines of Britain may bring about the development, of a large industry on Prince Edward Is-

laud.

A representative of the industry tent here by the English Govern- merit. was agreeably surprised at lhc large quantities of timber sult- abit» tor Pit Props on the Island, and ire says should the demand warrant it, the timber may be con- scripted.

Already large quantities have been taken from the woods in Prince County mid Senator Creelman Mac- Arthur has lust engaged 40 men to cut trees orl his estate at Fox- lay River, Lot 11, for this purpose; and should the demand warrant it, he can find employment for 100 men.

Tito steamers are to be loaded, one in September and one in No- reiiibr-r mid sent. direct to England irclil Prince County, with cargoes of Pll Props for British mines. The supply oi pit props formerly came fro Norway; btlt supplies from lllf'l't‘ arc now out of the ques- llon. » S

Air Scheme Construction ‘is Speeded

OTTAWA. Aug. 14 —(CP) —At thc end cf the present year the Prifisir commonwealth air training .me will have reached the 0b- _(‘ilI\'E‘ originally set for the end of so far as construction of build- ‘.(I nlrdromes is concerned. it

oi National Defence for air tonight.

'I'liis means that nearly two years’ construction work, involving about 700 miles of hard surfaced run- ways. will have been completed in one yenr. It involves hundreds of bliiidillfls and the acquisition of numbcrless Qrcraft. maintenance equipment and training instru- merits.

It has not been possible to ad- vance the human element of the |sclienie so swiftly because of the

time required for training those who will train others. the Deputy Minister said.

It could be considered. Mr. Dun- crin said. that the scheme was now gelling into its stride.

Student flyers from the Antioodes are expected to reach Canada in considerable numbers next month. Some strident airmen already have arrived from the United Kingdom.
