A POSSIBILITY With a government survey gang at work in Stephen township re­ ports are current that an air field in connection with the British Com­ monwealth Air Training plan is a possibility, It has been known for some time that the Dominion gov­ ernment has been interested in lo­ cating a suitable flying field in this vicinity. Just what connection a flying field in this vicinity would have with the airports at Goderich and Pt. Albert is mere speculation, Messrs. G. E. Ward, land surveyor, and Mr. R. C. Warren, location en­ gineer, together with J. A. Smith and J. K. McArthur, assistants, are engaged at present surveying a sec­ tion of land a mile and a quarter square located between Centralia and Crediton. Levels are being taken and bush and buildings tak­ en into consideration. Another sur­ veying party are surveying a sec­ tion near Grand Bend north of the Crediton Road and east of the high­ way. We understand another sec­ tion is under consideration north of Grand Bend. When all the ne­ cessary information is available such information will be placed be­ fore the authorities at Ottawa who will then decide whether or not any of these sites would be suitable for whatever they may have in view.
