Air Pioneer Retire s Today Was First TCA Employee

By JONATHAN COLE Canadian Press Staff Writer VANCOUVER (OP) ~ One of

Canada’s air pioneeers retires to- day from the network of airways which he spent nearly 40 years helping build across Canada. He is Donald R. MacLaren, First World War air ace, daring bush pilot and the first employee of Trans-Canada. Air Lines — a stocky 65-year-old man with grey hair, a young heart, and an un- dying interest in the progress of

Mr. MaoLaren began his ﬂying career as a member of the Royal Flying Corps. He earned fourth ranking among Oanada’s air aces with a tally of 48 enemy airplanes and six balloons.

Now retiring as TC'A’s executive assistant for the Pacific area, he , likes to “soft-pedal the war stwff — nobody‘s interested in that now."

He is more interested in talk- ing about his experiences as a bush pilot in British Columbia and the Prairies which led to his appointment to TCA at its incep- tion in 1937. '

He first came to Vancouver in 1924. For about $800 each he bought ‘two war-surplus BSZL ﬂying boots and started the West Coast’: first commercial aviation operation, Pacific Air- ways.

From the air force, his com-

pany inherited the stnenuous task ,

of patrolling 10,000 miles of the B.C. coastline between the United States border and Alaska for the fisheries department. .

‘ﬂour job was to catch fisher- men who were violating regula- tions," Mr. MacLaren recalls. “When we spotted a guy break- ing the rules, we'd land the old HSQL right next to him and catch him in the set."

In 1928, he sold out to Western Canada Airways and became superintendent. He continued the fishery patrols, flew prospectors all over the province, did reconnaissance and photographic ﬂights over timber areas for the big ‘forestry firms and made

/New Emphasis On Nursing Seen

SYDNEY (CP) — Sister Cath- erine Gerard of Halifax, president of the Registered Nurses Associa- tion of Nova Scotia, said here Wednesday the national hospital plan will place new emphasis on nursing education.

She told the association's an- nual meeting that “it is our re- sponsihility as nurses to keep al- lied agencies and the public advis- ed on the new trends in nursing care and our objectives for nurs- ing education.” About 50 nurses are attending ,

Secretary-treasurer Nancy H.

Watson of Halifax told the meet- ing that a recommendation to in- crease the first year qualifying examination mark to 55 per cent from 50 has been approved by the executive.

Expect Start O'n Bank Building

MONTREAL (O’P)——A start is expected by late July on con- struction of a 42-storey building to be leased and eventually owned by the Royal Bank of Can- ada on the site of the Place Vi-lie Marie development.

The bank is to buy the land on which the building is to be built from the GNR, it was an- nounced Tuesday. It will take a 99-year lease on 100,000 square feet of oﬁfice space on the street level and the seven whole storeys zillolove l.t——300,000 square feet in

When another 99-year lease be-

tween CNR and the builders ex- pires, the bank becomes owner

freight trips to the Yukon and northern B.C. LOST ONE PLANE

“The only one of our planes that ever came to grief was a Vic-‘kers Vedette — a nice little ﬂying canoe. The pilot, who was on his way from Prince Rupert to the Queen Charlottes, landed it on the grassy slopes of For- cher Island and it’s still there."

M a c L a r e n himself never crashed in some 35 years of fly- ing. Lumber baron H. R. MacMil- Ian told him “we always liked to lily with you because you had the habit of coming back."

In 1930, the ﬂying ace moved to the Prairies to start a mail run for Western Canada Airways —-which shortly afterward be- came Canadian Airways — be- tween Edmonton and Winnipeg.

They used Boeing biplanes which were then being used one mail run between Seattle and Chicago after a few unhappy ex- periences with Fokker 14s — “If there was any wind they’d turn over on landing and crush like a strawberry box.”

NIGHT HAZARDS

Night ﬂying was extremely hazardouls because the only nav- igation aids the pilots had were primitive propane -gas beacons mounted on steel towers about 15 feet high. They were spaced 15 miles apart on certain routes but on some there were no naviga- tion aids at all.

Tuesday, the baby—a boy- was born and the nurses brought him in afterward. Mrs. Norris Ptomptly changed her mind. '

At her home in Warwick- shtire County, Mrs. Norris’ husband, William, was happy about the change in plans.

President Is One Politician

lAbove Criticism In France

,By SAM HOOKER

PARIS (Reuters) — President Rene Coty, the man in the mid- dle in F.rance’s perennial D01- itioal crises, Wednesday con- tinued his task of trying to bring stable government to the repub- lic..

Esteemed by the public and above the squabbles and shifts of government, the 76-year-old Coty is the one politician in France that nobody criticizes—not even the Communists. .

As the only person under the French constitution who can name a new head of goverllment. Coty has been the key figure In crisis after crisis since he was elected president in 1953.

He has worked so tirelessly that a Paris newspaper Fe- cently published a cartoon‘ of him marching down the Charnps Elysees with a banner reading: “What about a 40-hour week for presidents? ’ ’

Coty was thrown into the lime- light when the National Assem- bly met five years ago to elect a successor to President Vincent Auriol. After 11 deadlocked bal- lots, amid growing public in- dignation, Coty’s name was brought forward and on the 13th ballot he was elected.

KNOWN FOR POLITENESS

Once known as “the politest man in the National Assembly,” Coty shrank from the pomp sur- rounding his office. He imme- diately endeared himself to France by refusing to follow the tradition of spending his first night in luxurious rooms pre- pared for him at the Versailles Palace. ‘ '

Since the army-led coup May 13 in Algeria that touched off the current crisis, Coty has remained largely -in the background. But his official resi-d.ence——the sump- tuous, 18th-century Elysee Pal- aoe——h-as been visited by ‘virtu- allly every important politician in France.

The son of‘ 1 Roman Catholic

school principal, Coty holds de- '

grees in law, letters and science. He practised law in Le Havre for 30 years. _

Always interested in politics, he was elected to the Le Havre city council at 26. Then, although officially exempt from military duty because of poor health, he enlisted in the French Army in 1914 and won the Croix de Guerre.

He entered national politics in 1923 as :1 Left Republican, and was elected to the senate in 1935. He was minister for reconstruc- tion in 1947.

His wife died in 1954. Coty has two daughters and 10 grandchil- dren.
