PRETTY ANN MARTIN of Montreal takes time out to pose with a seven-foot, nine-inch
model of a deHaviland jet aircraft which will go into service on Canadian Pacific Airlines'
trans-Pacific service this year. After being displayed at Windsor Station, Montreal, the
$15,000-model will go on tour to Winnipeg, Vancouver, and Honolulu, in addition to appearing
at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto this year.
Of plastic and metal construction, it has a wingspan of nine feet seven inches, with rub-
ber-tired wheels on a retractable undercarriage which can be operated by hand to fold into the
belly of the aircraft. A removeable panel in the side displays the interior of the model which
consists of crew compartment, showing pilot and co-pilot seat in front of a detailed control
panel. The wireless operator's dials and range sets are aligned in one corner while the 'navi-
gator's working table is shown in the other.
The next section shows lounge room. The lounge section which accommodates two sets of
four chairs has tables with folding leaves, while the body contains 23 reclining chairs, with
the hand luggage rack overhead, The sectional view of the rear comPartments discloses ladies'
and men's washrooms and the service compartment of the stewardesses which is located at
the rear of the aircraft.

Photographing a Kitten
F/-0 Lloyd Walker, the RCAF's
Chief Public Relations photog-
rapher, has had some interesting
and unusual assignments in his
We. Well up in the latter cate-
gore was his recent job of photo-
graphing a kitten. This was no
ordinary .kitten, 'but a baby,
cougar, newly-acquired mascot of
410 Cougar Squadron.
The animal was given to 410
Squadron by Mayor Fred Hume
,of Vancouver. F/O Walker set
out to photograph it while it
awaited air transport to the
United Kingdom, where the
Squadron is based. A kitten to
most of us is a Soft bundle of
fluff but this one was armed
with sabre-like claws and lashed
out at anyone who came near
his •cage.
The young cougar did not take,
kindly to being removed from his
cage and exposed to face flash
bulbs and clicking cameras, and
Walker is nursing a scratched
hand for his pains.
After many hours work and
several feedings of liver, Ram-

has yet had the courage to deter-
mine its sex) posed with its head

USAF commitments will be
handled by Northeast Air Com-
mand, with headquarters at Pep-
perrell Air Force Base, St. John's,
Newfoundland. NEAC will be
responsible for the re-supply of
two weather stations—Alert and
Eureka. The USAF planes with
six crews of seven men will fly
more than 230,000 pounds of
cargo to Alert and Eureka.
Supplies for the weather sta-
tions are taken into the Arctic
by ship during the brief summer
period of marine navigation. It
is not always possible to land re-
quired cargoes direct to all wea-
ther stations, and some supplies
may be discharged at points
where they are airlifted into the
weather stations during these
spring air transport operations.
Spring is the best season of the
year for arctic flying and during
this 'period, food, fuel and scien-
tific supplies are flown to the
remote Arctic weather stations.
The weather reporting program
from these Arctic stations in-
cludes surface observations sev-
eral times daily as well as upper
air conditions to heights of 60
or 70 thousand feet. Basic met-

In North to Aid
Civil Defence
Located along a Northern. On-
tario belt, RCAF etations will
give Ontario warning of the ap-
proach of enemy aircraft, Provin-
cial Secretary Arthur Welsh told
the Legislature Tuesday in re-
viewing civil defence activities in
the province.
The head of civilian defence
work in Ontario, Mr, Welsh re-
ported progress achieved in est-
ablishment of an effective warn-
ing system which would alert
civil defence forces in all possible
target areas,
"In co-operation with the RCAF
Ground. Observers' Corps, we will
have warning of approaching air-
craft, and the alert will be sent
to all target areas by a special
telephone warning system which
is being installed," Mr. Welsh
said. "This system will link our
provincial civil defence head-
quaeterS with our civil defence
organizations in the various tar-
get areas."
Assisting the RCAF in spotting
aircraft will be employees of the
Lands and Forests Department,
the Ontario Hydro and the On-
tario Northland Railway. These
employees will be specially train-.
ed in spotting aircraft and will
flash by radio to RCAF filter
stations word of the approach of
enemy aircraft, Mr. Welsh told
the members.
Standardization of hose connec-
tions and other fire fighting
equipment is well underway, with
the federal government paying
