lanadian flying men have n:.,
C J a lot of strange cargoes both
teet home and abroad in the last
reeveral years, but when a Quebec
Airways Boeing took off from
Quebec City Airportrthe other day,
€oound for Chicoutimi, it carried
Bane of the strangest loads of all —
26 babies, not one of them over
11ve months old!
The infants were being trans-
reered from La Creche Saint -Vin -
s ent-rife-Paul in Quebec to Chicon.
t nil— a long train ride, but only
an hour away by air. L'Abbe Ger-
main, priest in charge ofthe
g
orphanage, contacted officials of
Quebec Airways, a Canadian Paci=
fie Air Lines subsidiary, with the
7.:esult that the babies flew, and
all in one plane -load. Ordinarily,
the aircraft carries ten passen-
gers and a crew of three. But with
Sister Coeur ImlriaCule and Sister
Marie de Ia Reparation, who were
also making their first airplane
flight, the total number of souls
aboard was thirty-one. Even so,
with each babyweighing an
average of ten pounds, it was a
far lighter load than customary.
Special three -place cribs, made
of plywood, were built so that
each box would fit into one seat
in the airplane. Wrapped snugly
in baby blankets, and strapped in
both boxes and seats, even the
eke
roughest of air could not have
tossed the tiny infants out. And
as it turned out, there wasn't
even one bump on the entire trip.
"They didn't give a bit of
trouble"said Stewardess ,roan
Harland, a veteran hostess of the
airline. "After the take -off, they
just went to sleep, and that's all
there was to it!"
Bachelor Captain Art Leach,.
pilot of the plane, didn't have
much to say: `They were squeal-
ing when I went forward before
take -off, and theywere s uealin
after I landed", he announced
grumpily.
Said First Officer Gordon Alex-
ander: "I didn't hear a thing. Had
the ear -phones en all the time,"
Then, musingly, "Seems to me
static was a httle worse than
usual, though!"
