The Wade ' Kidnap Case

What made it worse was in selling to foreigners. Jock had been kept bus plying between Mull and Jura. andy sometimes to outlying islands. From this they came again upon the trail of the kidnappers. only to lose it on the broken shores. "An island is a likely place.” Tred- egar observed. ' Mcsson waved seaward. your pick." he retorted. "These waters are infested with

An atlas verified this with a ven- geance. They ranged in size from the thirty-mile long Mull to tlny dots of rock.

Only once did they hear anythin of the motor boat. from the monien it left Jocks possession. That was when it had put in for provisions at a village where there was a flour- ishing store.

Mosson was able to divert a nea- worthv boat from its summer en- gagements among the visitors, and in this they went exploring.

Before long Mosson was forced to the conclusion that sort of patrolling was several degrees more unsatisfactory than the proverbial looking for a needle in a. haystack. The vessel was slow and unsuitable for the Job.

The major had considered the possibility oi aerial reconnaissance only to turn it down because of the difficulty of spotting a small hand- ful of people bent on keeping in hid- ing in conditions favouring their in- tcntion.

‘More operational Training for ll. A. F. here

OTTAWA. April B — (CP) —More operational training for the Royal Air Force is to be done in Canada. an official spokesman said .

Operational training is the final instruction and practice given air- cnews before they are considered readv to go into action. Some time ago the Royal Air Force established two operational training schools in ' Canada. one on the east coast and the other on the west One is for torpedo-bomber crews and the other for bomber-reconnaissance crews.

The enlargement of this type of training in Canada under Royal Air Force auspices is under considerat- ion now.

when the British commonwealth air training plan schools in Canada as well as the wholly-British Royal Air Force schools here. started turning out‘ pilots. observers and wireless operator-air gunners it was considered more desirable lo have these men take their operational training in the United Kingdom.

The three aircrew trades receive their training in different schools under the air training plan and it is in the operational training schools that they are brought together and organized as crews. so they can train together for active operations against the enemy.

Until recently it was considered desirable to do this training over- seas so the men could become familiar with European weather conditions at the same time. Now. however. with the war extended. there is no certalntv any aircrew trained in Canada will fight over

Cuerillas are Organized un- Western coast

OFITAWA. April a -—(CP) -— 0r- ganization oi Ellerllla units among men of the outdoors along the Brit- ish Columbia coast will make avail- able for the defence of Canada one of the best-armed and most skilful civilian forces in the world. lov- ernment officials said today.

fence Minister Ralston sn- nounced at a press conference that 40 guerilla units now are organized and a total oi 150 might eventually be attained along the west coast.

Mine; and resources officials said their experience in recent ars has been that Canadian hun rs and trappers in remote areas everywhere are equipping themselves with the

st rifles and ammunition they can get.

Knows Area

This has meant that the aver- age Canadian Woodsman has a rifle Just as efficient as that oi a soldier. and carried by a man who knows intimately the are: in which he will

ight if an invasion attempt is made.

The determination to obtain the best weapons possible has been in evidence not only among white hun- ters and trapper; but among the Indians and even the Eskimos in

1 distant outposts oi the north, of- ls said.

ficia

Trading companies have encour- aged hinders and trappers to ob- lalll 800d equipment so as to sure the utmost efficiency iii pperatlons and the best possible re- urn.

Will Assist Rangers

Col. I-‘talston said his department would assist the "militia rangers" with ammunition “as far as pos- sible" but this would represent something of a problem in view of the variety of calibres used by men in outlying areas.

Officials recalled that the Ross

Rifle provided for the Canadian army at the start of the First Great War was popular with some hunt- crs and it could use the ordinary .303 army rifle cartridges. Many other persons, apart from those who make their llVliiz by tne chase, are expected to participate in the militia rangers’ activity a- long the west coast. Col. Ralslon said lumbering companies were co- operating well in the organization oi ranger units.

When those not actually engaged in hunting and trapping produce their firearms it is considered like- ly an extraordinary assortment will be on display. ranging from elephant guns to .22 calibre pistols.

Were Snipers

Canadian woodsmcn who joined the armv in the last war demon- sirated their value as snipers thou- sands of timesfibfficials said.

“Not only had they the hunter's marksmanship and skill in taking cover, but they also had the pal- ience which allowed them to wait until they were sure of hitting the target." one spokestnan said.

"These west coast men who have hunted grizzlifs and deer should find it easy enough to den] with any Jan vro tries to get somewhere in their bailiwick."
