Kofy-Sub Fi’eep^§* When a plane crashed on a farm near Dublin about 10.30 Monday morning two fliers from No, 9 S.F.T.S., Centralia, lost their lives. One was an instructor and the other a student flier. They were flying a twin-engine Anson bomber and were killed instantly when the plane crashed. Flight Sergeant Stanley Oswald Cunningham, of 16 Cherry wood Avenue, Toronto, -was the instruc­ tor, and L,A.C. George William Tarbath, from Preston, Lancaster, England, was the student. The plane was on a routine training flight when the crash oc­ curred, The cause of the accident is undetermined as yet, and court of inquiry i«f investigating. An crew were immediately sent to the scene. The plane is said to have burst into flames after the crash. Cunningham was horn in July, 1923, and had trained at No. I.F.T.S., at Toronto, No. 20 E.F.T.S., Oshawa, and received his naviga­ tor’s badge at No. J ‘ Hagersville. He took a flying in­ structor’s course at Trenton and had been stationed at Centralia since last August. Tarbath received his initial train­ ing in England and his elementary training at Oshawa. He was sched­ uled to graduate from the flying class in a few weeks here. The remains of the two men were brought to the^R. N. Rowe funeral parlors. On Tuesday afternoon the remains of Fit. Sgt. Cunningham were shipped from. Centralia to To­ ronto and were accorded full -mili­ tary honors. The funeral for L.A.C. Tarbath is being held this (Wednesday) af­ ternoon from the Trivitt Memorial Church, conducted by Fit. Lieut, the Rev. C. K. Sansbury, padre at the Airport, assisted by Rev. M. A. Hunt.

He commended the prime minister’s ability to form a coalition cabinet, including all classes, and for includ­ ing several Lafiorites in the War Council, He had wai’-m praise for Canadian engineers. J. B. Priestly did much, too, to raise morale with his week-end broadcasts, and the Archbishop of Canterbury had truly played his part as “second man of the kingdom”, declared the speaker.

A new Master­ baker revolving oven, which insures large production, has been install­ ed. It is a white porcelain-covered oven, automatically controlled. The new building is a two-storey structure. On the top floor the flour and other ingredients are stored. The flour is taken up by elevator. In a room off the storage room the dough is mixed and is dropped through a hopper to a work­ table below, where it is made into loaves, weighed and panned, ready for the oven.
