Proper spacing is 'particularly necessary — and particularly ignored! — on ex- pressways, Here is an example that is merely a magnified vex'. Sion of the 'type of accident that is happening with alarm- ing frequency, A ear speeding along a new- ly opened freeway near San Francisca early one morning dipped into a milky cloud of fog. The driver braked hard and, 'then "crawled". Seconds later three cars had' smashed in from 'behind'. A fifth car swerved to miss the crash pile, jumped the divider and was struck by two autos coming from the opposite direetion. It was not long before 34 cars were sprawled across all six lanes of the highway. Mim- culouSly, no one was killed; 35 persons were injured. .

We had left 1Vialton Airport in the big DC-8 jet and were climbing fast. The voice of our purser, R. H, Willoughby, Richmond, BC, welcomed us on behalf of our Captain, W. F. Smythe, West Vancouver. We were told we would be flying at 35,000 'feet —over six mites—and would be in E'dmonton, in three hours and 25 minutes! Fantastic, is- n't it? In 18 minutes we were away up above the cloud cover into brilliant sunshine, and all sense of speed was gone. We relaxed in the big, comfortable chairs and looked out into the blue, blue sky, with the clouds like cotton puffs down below. In 50 minutes we were over Sault Ste. Marie—our next door neighbour had spent a day on the bus getting there Volland, Mrs, Hugh Mc.:Esien, Mrs. Orr. A thank you note was' , read from the Ladies Auxiliary of South Huron Hospital, Ex- eter, for the splendid collec- tion of $100 made by members in connection; with tag day. 83rd Birthday John Passmore celebrated his 83rd birthday over the weekend with a family dinner at the New Commercial. Hotel. 33 members of his family at- tended the celebration and sat down to a delicious turkey dinner topped with an annivers- ary cake. Mr. Passmore was the rec- ipient of many gifts and con- gratulatory messages. Follow- ing the dinner a social time was spent at the home of the celebrant• Those present were Mr. and Mrs. William McLean and fam- ily, Hamilton; Mr. and Mrs. John Passmore and. family, Delhi; Mr. and Mrs. Lorne C. Elder and family, Hamilton; Rev. and Mrs. Robert Passmore and family, Owen Sound; Mr. and Mrs. Ken Passmore and family, Aylmer; Mrs, Pearl Passmore and Norma, Hensall; Mr. and Mrs. Doug Barnes and family, Aylmer; Miss Sharon Smith, Guelph; Mr. and Mrs. Ron P. Passmore, London. MIDDLETON Corporal and Mrs, Sidney Caswell and Evelyn, Larne, Suzanne and Philip, RCAF St- ation Cold Lake, Alberta, sp. ent IVIonday with Mr, and Mrs. Stewart Middleton. The Cas- wells motored from Cold Lake, situated 250 miles North of Edmonton and they report con- siderable snow there already. from Ottawa just recently — and dinner was coming up. Perhaps it was appropriate that the little ;butter patties were engraved "Swift", At the two-hour mark, Capt. Smythe announced we were ov- er Winnipeg at 35,000 feet, flying at 525 miles an hour, and meeting little wind as we raced westward to keep pace with the sun. We would be in Edmonton in an hour and 18 minutes. His voice sounded so composed, and we were rushing along at this speed! On the Captain's invitation, we visited the flight deck (we used to call it the cockpit) to watch operations. As our photo shows, the rather confined sp- ace is a maze of dials and han- dles and instruments. The three officers seemed so relax- ed as they explained the ship was flying on automatic pilot but they kept sharp watch on the instruments which told the story of our progress, With Captain Smythe were K. T. McIntyre, First Officer, and 0. L. Kandal, Second Of- ficer, both of Richmond', BC, Later we learned the purser and stewardesses were also BC folk. Could it be, we thought, that the trip was so wonder- ful because they were all anx- ious to get 'home? Noticing that the fuel gauges were turning over about as fast as the cents on 'the gas pumps, Second Officer Kendal told us the big Rolls - Royce Conway jets were using 2,000 gallons an' hour. That's' enough to last the average motorist four years! The DC-8 takes off with two railway tank cars of fuel — 18,300 Imperial gallons weigh- ing 142,500 pounds — enough to last a fellow a lifetime, and enough to take the Chevy sta- tionwagon around the world 18 times! Can you imagine the Power required just to lift the fuel weight alone from the runway and up 'to the cruising altitude of six miles? But add to that the weight of the plane and equipment, passengers, and all the rest, which add up to 800,000 pounds, and you can imagine the power in the four big jets which develop 17,500 pounds thrust each. As we mentioned in last week's story about the Vis- count, the jets lose no time in gaining altitude. The DC-8 requires over a mile and a half of runway space to take- off, and when the big jets bite you're pulled 'back into your seat and you realize that ter- rific power. As soon as the runway is cleared, the nose go- es up and no time is lost in gaining the cruising altitude. The jets eat up great gulps of For the convenience of our Clinton customers we have appointed LLOYD HOLLAND as AUTHORIZED SURGE PARTS DEPOT Roy A, Cullen Surge Service Dealer AR 2 Clinton HU 24207 43h fuel in the take-off and 'climb, but when they "get upstairs" they just sit there and work for 'the master, carrying 127 passengers, a crew of nine, five tons of freight, baggage and air mail, at speeds up to 600 miles an hour, all depending on the "jet streams," those mighty winds that help so much. On our flight, the jet streams; were running north and south, so they weren't much help, neither did they hinder us. The occasional "shiver" in the big craft was caused by crossing one of these "jet streams," we were told. First Officer McIntyre told us that the air-conditioning equipment would service 14 full-size homes, yet the com- pressors weigh only 11 pounds each. They make up for their tiny size by turning at more than 90,000 revolutions a min- ute. He told us briefly of some of the problems, for, while the temperature was 78 below zero at that moment, the air had to be coaled! We actually were in the stra- tosphere just then . . really out of this world . • . and Alan Sheppard had nothing on us, at least not too much, we thought. Capt. Smythe forbid us to tell this tale, but it's too good to pass up. Looking at our map to check on our map read- ing, 'he asked us where we had gotten such a good map. We told him his boss, TCA, produc- ed it. Hrrimm, he'd` not seen one like that! Here's mine, he said, laughingly, as he produc- ed a Saskatchewan road map!

Mortimer Bezeau, whose death occurred on Friday, October 13, at her late residence, 12 Ellen Street, East, Kitchener. The funeral took place from the Ratz- Bechtel funeral home, with bur- ial in Woodland; Cemetery. Guests with Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Gliddon, over the weekend were Mr, and Mrs, Frank Law- son and family of London and Mr, and Mrs. Nelson Brown, Warren, Michigan, Thankofferieg The Woman's Missionary So- ciety of Ontario Street and Wesley-Willis United Churches Clinton, were the guests at the Autumn Thankoffering meet- ing of the Holmesville United Church WMS, which was held on Wednesday, October 18. Mrs, Les Jervis was in the ch- air and gave the call to wor- ship. The Scripture lesson and comments were given by Mrs. Reg Miller, and Mrs. Lloyd Bond led in prayer. Mrs. Charles Nelson, Wesley- Willis, gave a talk explaining the picture "The Hope of 'the World". Mrs. W. E. Radford Ontario Street United Church, played an organ selection "My Jesus I Love Thee", with var- iations. The offering was re- ceived by Mrs. Stewart Far- aqurrthae ndMrs. Harry Cudmore n prayer of acceptance was given by Mrs. Les Jervis. An organ medley "How Gr- eat Thou Art" and "Bless This House," were played by Mrs. Jim Lobb. Mrs. Jervis intro- one of that breed' of bush pilots who more often than not flew their crates by the seat of their pants. What a change to command one of the biggest jets flying today! But we were over Saskat- chewan, and starting to de- scend for Edmonton our only stopping point so, after a couple of pictures, we walked "up hill" to our seats. Next week, we'll let Mrs. Morris tell 'the ladies how. the stewardesses serve 127 people from two tiny kitchens or gal- leys, six miles high. Unlike lightning, injury-pro- ducing accidents always strike twice, says the Ontario Safety League . . . first the person, then his purse.
