AIR TRAFFIC STALLED

Air traffic came to a virtual standstill. ~

Hundreds of winter sports en- thusiasts were stranded in New York’s Catskill Mountain resorts, although in no peril.

‘Some 1,450 Boy Scouts from the New York area were marooned on weekend trips to various up-, state camps. Few of them suf- fered real hardship, however, and most had begun making their way home. Air force helicopters flew in supplies.

Thirty-one blind persons were caught at a camp in Spring Val- ley, N.Y. They had plenty of fuel and food, however, and it lasted them until buses could get in.

The board, which began the public hearings Feb. 6, sat only two hours as Montreal bat-tled chaotic traffic conditions caused by snow and wind.

Under questioning by chief counsel Ross Drouin for the -t r a n s p o r t department, Capt. Campbell said fuel consumed due to overloading would depend on the amount of overload.

Fuel consumed would be only slightly more, due to extra power required from the four engines,

He said when he had ﬂowin the aircraft he had not noticed any- thing unusual about it.i Fuel con- sumption had appeared normal.

It had been his impression that the. ﬂow meters — instruments reading the fuel flow in pounds per hour—m.ight be a little high. Butghe said, this would amount to only about 200 pounds over a London-to-Montreal ﬂight or a difference of about six or seven minutes in fuel at the end.

Previous transport department testimony said that by the crew’sl estimates the lost aircraft would have had. 36 minutes’ fuel left ‘over Montreal if its last recorded ground speed had been projected to Montreal.

Earlier Monday, Austin Canny. Montreal ﬂight dispatcher for Trans-Ca-nad-a Air Lines outlined TCA co-operation between dis- patchers and plane captains. He said it is his view that such a system could be applied to a com- pany with fewer ﬂights bound for a variety of destinations through contracts with other aviation companies.

These Units are kept up to strength under the close survei‘lance of the Provincial Chairman who regularly visits or otherwise keeps in touch with them. The overall Committee is continuing to be strengthened and enlarged under the energetic leadership of the ‘Provincial Chairman, Mr. Gordon MacDon- ald.

WATER SAFETY

In the two short summer months during which swimming can be enjoyed in Prince Edward Island, Water Safety Classes were carried on in 81 centres with well over 5,000 children and adults gaining knowledge of water safety and ability of swim. A great many people shared in the planning for and carrying out of these classes which re- sulted in 1,487 of the participants meritting Red Cross awards of different kinds. as well as 169 from the Royal Life Saving Soc- iety. The task accomplished in this province in such a short span of time is an outstanding one, and on a per capita basis outdoes every other province in Canada. Though its a whirl- wind effort during which the key people involved are on a real “merry-go—round” it produces very worth-while results. CAMPAIGN, FINANCE

A gain of $1,516.60 over the 1956 returns,‘ still clid not bring us within our objective of $31,- 000 for 1957 as we were short by some $2,800. An analysis of the returns indicate there are a few weak spots in our organization, although the province was fairly well covered by enthusiastic canvassers who, as usual, had to carry out their work under ad- verse weather conditions.

When we stop to consider that ‘it costs in the vicinity of $60,000 to provide Red Cross Services

province it is rather embarrasing that we cannot raise even one- half of this amount in our An- nual Campaigns. The additional we require has to come to us through a Sharing of funds raised in other parts of Canada. Let this be a challenge to all of us to increase our contributions to the 1958 Red Cross Campaign. FIRST AID

In 42 communities throughout the province Red Cross signs point to First Aid Posts at which 566 injuries were treated by nurses or firstaiders who are’ in charge of these posts. At 50 First Aid Classes, 579 people

qualify them to Share the know- ledge they gained in accident prevention and the treatment of accidents with those who may need their assistance. —.

A new development in First Aid Services is the Home and Farm Safety Program. These programs, designed as an Acci- dent Prevention measure, start off with film shows and talks on accidents that are common in. the home and on the farm‘, and in several places have resulted in the formation of active Accl- dent Prevention groups. In this way, residents of a community Sha.-re in‘-helping each other to lessen the hazards which cause accidents. (This is a program which is considered very im- portant according to articles which have ‘appeared recently in “Red, Cross News” as published by the League of Red Cross Soc- ieties.)

PUBLICITY

As usual our newspapers have been most co-operative in pub- licising Red Cross activities, and we are grateful ot them for their large sized share in making them known to many who would not otherwise have the oppor- tunity of being informed. [Our grateful thanks are extended to all three newspapers for their outstanding publicity. _ Through the continuing gen- erosity of the Island Radio Broadcasting Company we _car- ried our weekly radio‘ talks all the year round. We are deeply indebted to CFCY for having made this time available to us. By this means we can reach more of our people, and give‘ them theiopportunity of sharing in the news of Red Cross. MEETINGS
