Defence Bears Fruit The record of 34 night raiders brought down already this month was compared to the previous best of 32 each in September and October when the Germans were busiest. and many Britons believ- ed the work the air force has been putting in on manifold defence methods was bearing fruit. Meanwhile the Clydeside dug out from under demolished homes and factories. The Government said Glasgow suffered a "heavy and prolonged" raid. Industrial buildings were damaged. many fires broke out and ‘the number of casualties was "ser- ous." Only a crater marked the site of one tenement. several families were dug nut from tinder another three-storey apartment that col- lapsed. and there were oihcr vic- tims when a row of houses was demolished. 'I'he raiders also made a repeat- ed raid mi Liverpool and set fire to l paint factory which blazed for hours at. a northeast coast town. (The Germans claimed this was Hull. There was no British con- firmatloii.)

Wh ich Says training Accident rate Not abnormal OVITAWA. March l-L-(CP) --.Air Mini tor Power told the House cf Commons todav the accident rate in training operations of the R-oyolCu- nadiim Air Force is not abnormal. He was making a statement on the three air collisions of the last few i days which caused the death of 17 men. serious injuries to two and the loss of six Avro-Anson aircraft. Major Power said two planes from the Monet/on training school be- came int/crooked at 2.000 feet and era lied. Two machines from the Royal Air Force school at Port Al- bert. Ont.. took off in the lame di- i-ection at an interval of l5 minutes and 1n a subsequent collision one knocked the tail off the other and both crashed. The evidence indicated the pilots might have been blinded by the sun on a turn. One plane from the Saskatoon school overtook another. m and after collision both dfsintczrat- ed at 3.000 feet. During 1940 the total accident rote .01‘ training operations was 1. per 1.000 hours of flying and the fatalvagcldgrit rote was .11 per 1.000 hours. ' Normal li-ron Out of 267 accidents in 1940 the majority were caused by “normal errors of pupils in training?’ no alr- craft or any particular type used in training revealed ftse as more prone to accidents than types. During January of this year a total of 09.000 hours were flown on training operations. nearly 50 oer cent. of the total flown in the whole of 1940. The total accident rate for the month was 1.06 Der 1.000 Major Power had not worked out the fatal accident rate for the month. Anxious Over Lon of Life The government. Maj. Power told the Hou e views with "utmost anxi- ety" the great loss of ilfc involvedin air accidents and intends to con- tlnue "bv every means in our power to try to protect these young men not only against unf rences but in many cases against their own carelessness." "Out of the total of 20f accidents during 1040 the nutor number was caused through normal errors of pupils during flying or training such as (a) not being able to correct a owing on landing: (b) carelessness in taxi-inn; (c) fcultv manipulation of ancillary controls." llid Mal Power. .

Margarita with ii record of 2.01 l-4 pacing. 2.01 3-1 trotting, placing hei- second 1n rank among mores to the world's cham- pion Calumet Evelyn p. 1.59 l-4, t. 1.50 1-2. Santa. Margarita first ap- peared on the scene in a racing sense in 1930 starting as a two-year- old trotted‘. She continued racing every year until her seven-ywar-old form in 1035. and u. perusal of the records will show that 1n those five seasons she had only won one vic- tory and her earnings totalled $702.46. However, persistcncy or change oi owners must have made a great difference in her racing ability u: in the next four seasons, 1935-1936 inclusive, she scored 25 victericl and her eligibility sheet showed $12000 charged up. In 1939 at the age of eleven. when most speedster: have forgotten the winning habit, Santa Margarita was changed to l pacer and cleaned up the slov classes with consistent regularity. They all looked alike to the old lady as she was either first or second in 12 of her 17 effort, taking a record that season of 2.02 1-4 and having $3.500 entered up on her pacing card. Lost season she gathered fii $3.000, being seven times first. sev- en times second arid lowering hn record to 2.01 1-4 pacing. As her record trotting was 2.01 3-4 her average for the two gaits is 2 01 1-3. Among the wear and tear trot- fnrs that were out the past. season we note Joe Watts 2.05 1-4, who has taken part in 12 campaigns and won 5-1 races. Peter F.
