Excellent Flying Weather
As we set out en our trip from
Centralia to Greenwood—close to
900 air miles away—we had the
advantage of excellent flying
weather with visibility near a
maximum. Flying at 5,000 feet,
we landed at Dorval, Montreal,
in two -and -one-quarter hours. A
dock Mountains in' New York
State to the south.
After having lunch' at the Dor-
val Airport Restaurant, and re-
fuelling the plane, we 'took off
again for Greenwood, N.S„ with
Montreal below us in the sun.
50 -Mile Tail Wind
Then we ascended to 9,000 feet,
as there was a 50 -mile tail wind
at this level, 'and set our course
by instrument along the radio
beam to our destination, using
radio aids provided by the radio
range stations en route. These
included Megantic, Que.; Millin-
ocket, Maine; Blissville, N.B., and
Greenwood, N.S.
The trip over the northern part
of Maine and New Brunswibk
indicated little below us except
dense forests studded with shim-
mering 1 akes. We landed at
Greenwood, N.S„ two -and -three -,i
quarter hours after taking off at
Dorval making a total of five
• hours from Centralia.

RCAF Personnel Buy
Canada Savings Bonds
Final figures on sales of the
fourth series of Canada Savings
Bonds under the payroll savings
plan in Perth end Huron Counties
show that total sales in the two
counties reached.130 per cent of
total sales of the third series of
bonds in 1948.
'Contributing greatly to the
success of the campaign were the
Royal Canadian Air Force station
at Centralia where sales were
867 per cent of 1948 and the
RCAF Station at Clinton where
sales were 271. per cent of the
1948 total,

valuable demonstrations was the
carrying out of three ground -
controlled approaches by our DDG
plane. A Ground Control Ap-
proach is a method, by radar and
radio, used' to bring an aircraft
into a station under conditions of
extremely poor visibility when
the pilot is unable to see the
ground from a height of approx-
imately 100 feet or more.
Greenwood to Centralia
The, weather for the return trip
from Greenwood to Centralia
necessitated making the entire
trip by the use of instruments or
as the pilots say, by IFR (instru-
ment flying rules). In this case,
the flight is controlled very rig-
idly by radio range stations, in
much the same manner as the
railway despatchers or the rail-
way block system controls trains.
Our plena flew at 6,000 feet to
Montreal, and at 4,000 feet from
Montreal to Centralia. To save
time, we did not land at Dorval
as. on the down trip, but flew
right through.
Arriving over Montreal just at
dark, that metropolis was a mar-
vellous sight with its coloured
lights along Sherbrooke and Ste,
Catherine Streets.
Weather Provides Test
Flying by night and with the
weather becoming progressively
worse, the need of radio com-
munication became all apparent,
Frequent reports of the weather
ahead were received by the
student operators and were pas-
sed on to the pilots for their in-
formation,
Shortly after passing over To-
ronto at an altitude of 4,000 feet,
an electrical storm broke in all
its fury and gave us a few thrills.
However, when we arrived over
Centralia, the storm had abated
and we were able to land with-
out difficulty.
Due to heavy head -winds, our
non-stop flight from Greenwood
to Centralia had taken us just
five minutes short of eight hours,
instead of the five hours on the
journey east the previous day.
Supper was waiting in the Air-
men's Mess at Centralia, and a
journey by RCAF transport to
Clinton, brought a fine exper-
ience to a close.
Here's one thing I found out:
"You don't have to be a pilot
to fly in the RCAF! The radio
and radar fellows do it. tool"
"Per ardua ad astral"
When I see a man who
is under -insured, I won-

Bronze
plaque
A bronie plaque—first of its
kind to be presented in Huron
County — commemorating t h e
service to Canada of Sir John
Willison, one of Canada's great-
est journalists, was unveiled on
the wail of the Huron County
Court House, at Goderich, late
Wednesday afternoon last.
Warden John W. Armstrong,
Mullett, unveiled the plaque,
presented by the Historic Site
Board of Canada, before Huron
Codnty Council; Professor Fred
Landon, vice-president of the
University of Western Oniterio
and representative of the Monu-
ment Board for Ontario; Arthur
R, Ford, editor of The London
Free Press, who was a personal
friend of Sir John's and guest
speaker; and a group of Huron
County residents including Mrs.
George MecEwan, wife of Mayor
George MacEwan of Goderich,
and Miss Bessie MacMurchy,
sister-in-law of Sir John,
The plaque read: "Sir John
Stephen Willison, K.B., journal-
ist, author and publicist; editor
of The Globe, 1890 to 1902; The
News, Toronto, 1902 to 1910. Born
at Hills Green, Huron County,
November 9, 1856. Died Toronto
Mey 27, 1927."
Rev, L, H. Turner, minister of
Victoria Street United Church,
Goderich, dedicated the tablet in
these words:
"To the glory of God, to the
perpetuation of faith in His son
Jesus Christ, to the present and
future inspiration of the children
of men, we dedicate this mem-
orial plaque."
Under the heading, "Son of
Huron," The London Free Press
commented on the action of
Huron County Council next week.
"Permission has been given by
the Huron County Council to the
Historic Sites and Monuments
Commission to erect a plaque on
the county court house in mem-
ory of Sir John Willison, noted
journalist, author and publicist.
Sir John is one of the most noted
of Huron County's sons. He was
born on a farm near Varna and
early decided that he would seek
a career apart from his lather's
farm.
• He was attracted to journal-
ism and his first post 'in daily
newspaper work was on the old
London Advertiser, From The
Advertiser he wont to The Toron-
to Globe where his progress was
rapid and in 1890 at the early
age of 34 he became the editor
of that peper, then the bible of
the Liberal party in Ontario. He
remained with The Globe until
1002 when he retired to edit The
Toronto News,
lIe supported the Conserva-
tives provincially in 1902 and The
News, under his editorship, was
a potent factor in the defeat of
the Ross Government in 1901. He
gradually swung over to the Con-
sr:rvative party and supported Sir
Robert Borden in '.911 and again
in 1917.
"He was for many years the
Canadian correspondent of The
London Times. His life. of Laur-
ier is one of the classics of Can-
adian historical literature and his
volume of reminiscences throws
much light on the political scene
of the days when he was close to
the public men of both the lead-
ing parties, ale was n great
editor and a lucid and bril'hart
writer. His name should be re-
membered by Huron County of
which he was always proud."
Large Citrons Feature
Crops in Blyth Area
The publicity given to a 17 -
pound citron grown by William,
Carter, Westfield, has brought to
light reports of other large cit-
rons. Jack Cole, Blyth, is proudly
displaying one weighing 14
I pounds, while Hermann Deer,
Blyth, has the daddy of them all,
a citron tipping the scales' at 23
pounds. Ernest Leggett, East
Wawanosh, reports 12 ' jars of
fruit from one citron.
At the Leggett farm there is
another unusual crop this fall, a
second growth of barley. The
stalks measure three feet in
length and the average head is
four inches long. The entire
growth is quite heavy and healithy.
