was destined to be his last
patrol.
In the late afternoon his
long - range Catalina was sw-
itched, to cover another area
adjacent to the one :assigned
and when almost on the lasit
leg of the :patrol a vessel: was
sighted far to the south. As
he approached for a closer look
more vessels came into sight
and were identified as battle-
ships, aircraft carriers and oth-
er warships of the Japanese
fleet.
Attacked and damaged by
gunfire from the enemy planes
and ships, S/L Birchen was
'barely able to radio an enemy
sighting report before crash-
landing in flames. His brief
report, however, was sufficient
to warn the island. The defenc-
es were alerted, and the at-
tack that wars launched the
following day was successfully
repelled.
S/L Birchall was awarded
the Distinguished Flying Cress
for his 'gallantry and devotion
to duty, and his exploit earned
for him title of "The Saviour
of Ceylon".
Listed as missing and rses-
urned to have perished in the
action, it was •aihnost a year
before information was receiv-
ed that he and five other sur-
vivors of the Catalina had been
picked up by one of the Jap-
anese warships and taken pris-

U.S. Columnist Boosts Canada
It°eilways gives me a lift to
see anything Canadian praised
in United States newspapers.
Hardly a week goes by that I
db not reap satisfaction from
these news 'channels.
• Recently the travel seertian of
the Washington Daily News in
its see:dial tolls= "Riding the
RailS" entered the beauties of
travel through the Canadian
Rockies by train. It praised
plans for circle tours that will
encompass the Seattle World's
F. air, the Vancouver Festival
/and Disneyland. The. article qu-
oted passenger man Earl Kr-
emer in Washington. "We're
running away ahead of last
year in our bookings, We are
anticipating a 'complete sell-
out this summer."
Package tours have becothe
"a blessing for families. Each
•riegion of the Canadian N'ati'an-
al
has its own plans for, tours
but all have one objective, to
make summer travel comfort-
able, safe, amusing 'and in-
struotive.
It is nice to know my res-
erviatitons are safely tucked
away in my travel bag. 1 got
otirt the scrapbook my grand-
son Ricky' and I have been
pasting together since his
teacher made it possible for
him to 'accompany me west.
Dominating the book is a
picture of the 60 -storey -high
Space Needle at the World's
Fair. We plan to luneh there—
if our stomachs are in the
right place after the zooming
ride to its revolving restaur-
ant.
Ricky can hardly contain
himself , at the prospect af a
"rocket ride" in the Science
Pavilion, a billion light years
past the moon and Mars into
remote galatie.s of outer spare.
He dreams about the babble-
atkr in Coliseum Century 21.
He has read it will lift visitors
to a floating city where they
will see Work, play and travel
in the year 2,000 A.D. Jules
Verne could never have had a
'greater thrill in creating his
Science fiction novels than this
young grandson of mine has
had living his summer adven-
ture over and over again. An-
tiellsartiOn is proving almost as
exciting as reality for both 'of
us.

Luxury Afloat
Ricky has never been on a

I must repeat aver and over
again is about the day two
summers ago when I was es-
corted from bow to stern, from
top :deck to lower lounge of
the Prince George. This CN
Ship will make siz seagoing
tours from Vancouver to Seat-
tle before begirmhsg its sum-
