Planes are expensive-and depreciate last. The average age -of sleeping cars in use today is well over 20 years; average ageiof today's air- line planes is five to seven years. Air wages ore higher. In the U. 5., the railroad engineer averages about $5,400 a year, while an airline pilot gets from $l0,000 to $4,000.

In these days of essential air power, few countries would dare let their air travel facil- ities, whether public or private, go out of busi- ncss. Such airlines may be iifalines in event of war, they are essential for national security and

The I947 experience of Canada, Britain and the U. S., however, seems to suggest that hope for air profits, on either public or private airlines, may not altogether lie in increased business.

The propaganda for the union of Newfound- land with the U. S. A. is going on apace.

How many use their care to reach some of the many beauty spots that. lie a little bit. away from the highways? The truth is that this section of Ontario abounds in scenic beauty, much of which is lost because we stick elavlshly to the main roads. and thus throw away our chances of seeing On- tario in all its loveliness. It would richly pay some of our motorists in planning their week-end out- ings to stray away from the high- ways and explore the minor roads. where. if ri little more care may have to be taken in driving. there is a splendid recompense in the wealth of scenic charm unfolded to the eye of the visitor. -Guelpls
