CANADIAN AN AVIATORS
Courses for instructora nominat-
ed by the civil flying club in 'she
various centres, are being -.ten un-
der arrangement with the director,
the Royal Canadian Air Force, and
are being held at Camp Borden. This
of course, is further to the govern-
ment's plan to encourage civil avia-
tion by the subsidizing of civil flying
clubs. It is a well-known fact at the
air force headquarters that the real
need is for a trained air force auxi-
liary, and an intensive campaign of
recruiting among those who have
learned to fly will be undertaken, it
is understood.
During the Great War one British
aircraft corporation, de Havilland,
which produces the Moth, built
machines at a rate of one every 20
minutes. Many Canadians will re-
member the DH4, DH9, and DH9A
which were popular machines on the
Western front. Since the war Capt-
ain Geoffrey de Havilland, O.B.E., A.
F. C., and his associates have turned
their attention more particularly to
the design and production of air-
planes for civil operations.
•
Some time ago Captain F. E. N.
St. Barbe, of de Havilland Company,
was in Canada in the interests of his
firm, and ,soon after his return home
the establishment of a Canadian fac-
tory was announced. The plant will
be at Weston, Ont. The manager is
It. A. Loader, who was assistant
manager of the de Havilland Com-
pany in London for four years. The
secretary is Wm. Zimmerman, of
Toronto.
Aircraft on forest fire patrol in
Manitoba report every ten minutes
by radio to land stations, in case
they are lost and have to be quickly
located. Wireless control is thus ex-
ercised over many 'planes engaged
in this useful work, and it is also of
great value in other operations of ,
airplanes, both in peace and war.

Some facts now available about
the giant dirigible Britain will send
to Canada this year show she will
have a gas envelope three acres in
extent; will accommodate 100 pas-
sengers, each of whom will be allow-
ed 112 pounds of luggage; will have
a crew of 35, her six 700 -horsepower
engines will give her power and a
speed of 80 miles per hour. She will
have a cruising radius of 5,000 miles,
Count Zeppelin, after whom were
named the ,giant dirigibles made ie
Germany. had tarried 43.,000 pas-
sengers in thm e' floating monsters
before the Great War, and was plan-
ning a trans-Atlantic service when
hostilities temporarily ended all his
schemes.
An airplain is divided into five
groups of parts, as follows: 1, The
wings, to sustain flight; 2. stabiliz-
ing and controlling surfaces, to give
.ability and make it steerable; 3,
power r ^•roup, to provide the motion
in the air; 4, the body, for housing
the crew; and 5, the landing gear for
alighting.

In 1926 aircraft flew 5,000,000
nines over organized air routes in
the United States without a single
fatality. In Great Britain, in the
same year, the Imperial Airways,,
Ltd., alone carried 52,000 people and
flew 2,500,000 miles without injury
to a single person.
I Talking about records recalls these
world-beaters to date (remembering
that every day brings something
new) : Height record, 42,000 feet;
endurance in air, about 52% hours;
speed, 325 miles perhour.

'Types of aircraft in use in most
• air forces of the world, for fighting
purposes may be subdivided into the
following six -groups: Scout or Pur-
, suit; Observation; Army Co-op,era-
I tion (attack) ; Bombers; Training;
Cargo or Personnel. Canada now has
four single -seater scout 'planes and
Four bombers and these are to be
fused for training and other purposes
as well. These eight planes— four
Siskins and four Atlases—constitute
Canada's first real fighting equip-
! ment for her splendid Air Force.
In 1911 the Air Battalion of the
Royal Engineers had less than 12
airplanes and two small airships. In
August, 1914, the British Air Ser-
vices had 240 officers, 1800 men and
200 machines; in November 1918,
there were 30,000 officers, 170,000
men and 22,000 airplanes. .Mr
J'orce casualties in the Great War
totalled 18000 air formations op-
erated in 15 different theatres of war
8,000 enemy machines and 300 ob-
servation balloons were destroyed, a-
bout 750,000 photographs taken suc-
cessfully over enemies' territory, and
12,000,000 rounds of amanunition
fired from the air at enemy targets.

Aviation, as an ai o
1 to war, began
In Great Britain in a small way only
.. few years before the Great War.
.1t fast these was a Flying School,
then an Air Battalion of the Royal
l,ngincers, theca an Air Wing of the
:Army and Navy. The two sections
of the Air Wing grew apart and
Na re renamed the Royal Flying
Corps and the Royal Naval Air Ser-
viee. Late in the war, however, their
commands were unified and they
w3 -re reunited under the title of
Royal Air Force, which they still
use.
..
Titles in the air force of most
countries are simple, as they are the
.;ane as either army or navy ranks.
In Britain and in the tjnited States
the army ranks are maintained by
aviators. In Canada, however, ranks
are peculiarly distinctive and ap-
propriate. With their military equi-
valents they are: Flying Officer
(Lieutenant); Flight-Lieultenant'.
( Captain; ; Squadron -Leader, (Ma-
gor; Wing -Commander (Lt. -Colon-
el; ; Group -Captain (Colonel-Com-
)1lmldant or Colonel -on -the- Staff),
and so an into the chief ranks of Aim
Commodore, Air Vice -Marshal, etc.
The latter ranks with general offi-
cers in the army.
EGG POOL
RESULTS IN
STAPLE PRICES
Organization Has Done Great Deal
to Maintain Uniform Rate Sche-
dule—System Was Operated Ef-
ficiently—Price Slump in Product-
ion Season Overcome.
Many readers can remember when
less than 20 cents a dozen was con-
sidered a fair price for many months
of the year. Credit must be given
to the pooling idea, in part, at least,
for developing a marketing proposi-
tion that ensures a price well above
20 cents to the producer, even at
the time of year when eggs are
most plentiful. In fact, the pool
price has stood above 30 cents a doz-
en for the past four years.
High Prices.
When Ontario's first egg pool was
opened in 1924 it appealed to those
who had eggs to sell, particularly the.
producer, as a possible remedy for
the annual slump in price that came
as surely as spring weather brought
increased egg production. Regard-
less of the effect the pool has had in
stablizing prices generally, it is in-
teresting to note that over a million
dozens have gone into the pools of
1924, 1025, 1926 and 1927; that the
payment made by the United Farm-
ers' Co-operative company, limited,
as the eggs were graded, was 20
cents a dozen, and that in addition,
final payments were sent ranging
from nine to fourteen cents a dozen,
The total returns to peelers were as
follows: In 1924, 3134 on extras and
29 cents on firsts; in 1925 and 1926,
83j' on extras and 30 cents on
firsts; in 1927, 34 cents on extras
and- 321,e cents on firsts.
Present Year,
The 1928 pool is now in operation
and will remain open until such time .
as the management considers it un-
wise or unprofitable to producers to
store for fall or early winter sale.
All eggs tagged for the pool are
sorted and graded as they arrive,
only sound extras and first being
placed in cold storage for the pool.
The initial cash payment is 20 cents
it dozen on those pooled while pre-
vailing prices are paid for seconds
and cracked eggs, The system of
paying cash as the eggs are shipped,
and a further cash payment in the
fall, is a boon to local merchants as
wen as to the farmer.

Few Holidays Fall
on Monday in 1928
Statutory holidays in the Domin-
ion this year are fairly well spread
over the days of the week. Those
who hoped for most of the holidays
on Mondays, so as to get the benefit
of a long week -end, will be disap-
pointed. According to the calendar,
the holidays are as follows: May 24,
Victoria Day, on a Thursday; July 1,
Dominion Day, on a Sunday; Sept-
tember 3, Labor, Day, on a Monday;
November 12, Thanksgiving Day, on
a Monday, and December 25, Christ-
mas Day, on a Tuesday. No, the
long week -enders are out of luck
this year. There are only two pub-
lic holidays coming on Mondays. If
they want more time at the beach
or in some far away city of delight,
they will have to feign illness to the
manager, or some other alibi. The
calendar is no help. But there is
said to be a move in some places in
Canada to introduce the five-day
week in business, so that the week-
end would start on Saturday morn -
nig and run along to Sunday night.
This is practically what the trades
unionists have been urging for some
time.
But, at last, another Monday holi-
day appears on the horizon, the
King's Birthday. It comes, actually,
on June 3, which is a Sunday, but his
majesty, appreciating the needs of
holiday-makers much better than the
calendar mathematicians, has declar-
ed it to be observed on the following
Monday. That makes three Mondays
off this year. It might be worse.

Toll Gates in Harron
The Treasurer's office at the court
house is being redecorated and in the
process of cleaning up some remind-
ers of earlier days have been turned
up. Two letters dated in the year
1872 recall the days of toll gates in
Huron. They were addressed to the
late (Col.) A. M. Ross, then treasur-
er of the County by persons who
were remitting money to him as rent-
! al for toll gates. One letter, sent
by Margaret Lobb, is dated at Wing -
ham, and states that the sum of $46
enclosed is to pay two months' rent
of toll gate No. 9, on the Clinton and
Winghem gravel road. The sender
asks that th receipts be mailed to
Belgrave postoffice. The other letter
is from Mrs. Murray (no address)
and enclosed $27 for toll gate No. 3.
The fact that both letters are from
women is probably an indication that
the occupation of tollgate -keepers
was one suited to women with no
other means of support. It will bo '
Mr. Anglin—And why?
The janitor—Because, sir, I'm al-
ways either cussin' at the pupils or
toadyin' to the teachers.
BLUFFING THE BOSS
Ile had applied for a job in a pur-
1 ist agency, and his only fear was
because he could not speak any fore-
ign languages.
"Well, supposing we want to send
you over to our Paris office," said the
manager. who seemed impressed with
the applicant's appearance. "Parlez-
vous francais?"
"What?" asked the young man.
"Parlez-vous francais?" the man-
ager repeated very distinctly.
; "Sorry, I don't quite get you."
1 The manager blushed faintly.
"Speak French?" he said, with a
casual air.
j "Oh," exclaimed the other, beam-
ing. "perfectly!"
ffi+LOOK AT YOUR LABEL
a surprise to many readers of this
paragraph, accustomed as they are
to travelling far and wide on roads
maintained by the county or Provin-
ce, to know that in earlier days toll
roads were common, Wo do not
know just when they were done away
with in this county. Possibly some
reader of The Post who remembers
those days will write and tell us
something about then. '
He was the Custodian
(Renfrew Mercury)
Mr. R. W. Anglin, M. A., the new
school inspector, was here this week
visiting the school. Mr. Anglin be-
lieves that one of the important fig-
ures about the school is the janitor,
He says that they call themselves
something different. One is "the Jan-
itor," another "the caretaker" and
another "the superintendent of the
building," or any other such title de-
noting that he is the big "bin."
Mr. Anglin states that on enter-
ing a certain school the first indivi-
dual he encountered was the "man
of all work." Ile greeted him and
asked him, if he were the superin-
tendent of the building. The follow-
ing conversation ensued:
The janitor—No sir,
Mr, Anglin—Well, what do you
call yourself,?
The janitor—Custodian, sir,

,. t an experiment �i i' • a
j < i i m nt wag car-
ried' nn at the Dominion Experiment,
n1 Farm, Nieman, Nova Scotia,
wherein 21 hogs were fed from wean
ing to finishing on a grain ration con-
i: 71131,!: 8 per cent of fishmeal. An-
other group of 25 hogs wi1.$ fed the
scone grain mixture, plus 300 pounds
of skiul-milk - per 100 pounds of the
grain mixture. The fishmeal fed
eroatp gained ,95 pounds per day at
as cost or 10.2 cents per pound, while
the ekim-milk lot gained .04 pounds
daily et: a cost of 8.4 cents per
Lound. The fishmeal and skim -milk
were changed at $10 and $4 per ton
respectively.
In 19223 two experiments were
carried on. In each case a chocic
1,x:13 which received no animal protein
supply, was included in the test, The
• average daily gains recorded were
as follows: Fishmeal fed lot, 1.25
pounds, skim -milk fed lot, 1.1 pounds
and the check group, .93 pounds.
The average costs per pound gain
were 8.78 cents for the fishmeal fed
lots, 7.57 cents for the skim -milk
lots and 8.36 for the. check lots.
In 1927 two more experiments
were conducted. The gains were
slightly lower with the fishmeal
primps than with those fed skim -
milk, but both lots showed greater
gains than the cheek pens.
In all of the experiments outlined,
the hogs in the fishmeal fed lots were
equally as good or better in type
and finish than those fed skim -milk
and both lots showed )narked super-
iority over the check lots. The 1927
fed hogs were graded by a represent-
ative of the Live Stock Branch and
the results wcre as follows: Fishmeal
group, 90 per cent selects; 10 per
cents shop hogs; skim -milk groups,
80 per cent selects; 20 per cent
thick smooth; check groups, 50 per
cent select, 30 per cent thick smooth
and 20 per cent shop hogs.
Averaging the results of all ex-
periments it was found that the hogs
fed fishmeal gained 1.01 ppunds per
day, those on skim -milk .985 pounds
and the check lots .907 pounds, at a
cost per pound gain of 9.5, 8.15 and
9.04 cents respectively.
The digestible protein in the fish-
meal cost 8 cents per pound. If the
im-milk is charged at the same rate
it would be worth $5.76 per ton in-
stead of $4 and the cost per pound
gain would be 8.8 cents, instead of
8.15. Fishmeal analyzing 70 per
cent total protein or63 per cent di-
gestible protein and selling at $80
to $100 per ton, is -one of the cheap-
est protein feeds on the market at
the present time and if fed at the
rate of 6 to 8 per cent of the meal
ration, will give good gains and de-
velop a good type and well finished
bacon hog, providing a balanced
ration is fed.
From the experiments above out-
lined, fishmeal is recommended to the
:non who is growing market hogs and
has only a limited supply of skim-
-1111k at hand.
