Forecasting the Future "We certainly picked a poor day to begin," ho reminirced. "It was December -7. 1941. and the world was more interested in Pearl Har- bor than in Charlottetown. P.E.I. Besides. it wa's very bad flying weather and our first scheduled flights couldn't get off the groundl" Despite the inauspicious begin- ning. the company began to flour- ish. It was not a wild venture but I well-thought-out and care- fully calculated business enter- prise. Burke estimated the first year's revenue and costs so pains- takingly that the actual figures were almost identical with the forecast. The original investment of 850 thousand was raised by Burke with the backing of Curran & Briggs and L. R. Champion, of Montreal. These holdings were later bought out by the new firm of Curran, Briggs and Burke. g Ploughing back profits into the business has increased the firms assets to more than a million dol- lars. The rise in values of air- craft over the past two years has almost doubled MCA's assets in that period. The bays and straits of the east-I ern seaboard present water ob- stacles that make the territory a natural for air travel. With war- time restrictions on auto travel and overtaxcd road. ferry and rail services, air travel became popular with Maritimers in A hurry-especially with the Prince Edward Islanders. The original scheduled air serv-i ice is still in operation. There arel sevcrul flights daily connecting the main Mnritime cities--Saint John. Fredericton. Moncton. Stim- merside. Charlottetown.

Hcr twin sister Jean was her bridesmaid and her i i sage of mauve mums. I Mr. Charles Beairsto. cousin of the groom was groomsman. Fol-' lowing their marriage a reception! was held at the home of the bride: in Kensington. when a large iiuni- bar of relatives and close friends offered congratulationsg and par- took of a buffet supper. ; Mr. and Mrs. Bernard then left; by motor for Boston and other.
