Air Crash Kills
Sir Fred Banting
Discoverer of Insulin Dies When
Transatlantic Plane Makes
Forced Landing
The death of Sir Frederick Ras-
ing in a plane crash at Musgrave.
Newfoundland. is of particular local
interest because a former Seaforth
boy. Mr. F. Lorne Hutchison, has
been associated with Dr. Banting's
insulin work since its discovery.
Sir Frederick. a major in the Can-
adian Army. has devoted mneh of
his time in the last two years to re-
search in the field of aviation medic-
ine. He was chairman of the assoc-
iate committee on Aviation Medicine.
an organizations he was instrumental
in founding shortly before the war
started.
The crew of the plane consisted of I
Capt. Joseph Creighton Mackey, for-
merly a test pilot with Civil Aero-
nautics Administration in Kansas
City, Navigator William Bird. of
Kidderminster, England, and Wil-
liam Snallham. of Bedford, N.S.
According to latest information re-
ceived, failure of one engine and the
faltering of the second as he was
trying to bring his plane back to
Newfoundland, forced him to make
his crash landing, Capt. Mackey, the
plane's pilot. said.
He also told of having ordered his
three comrades to bail out of his
plane just before it Crashed. None
had obeyed him.
The plane was fifty miles from
Newfoundland airport. heading out
into the Atlantic on a flight to Eng-
land when one engine failed. While
flying back inland the other engine
faltered and the wireless failed.
He ordered his companions to bail
out. He thought they had, he said.
until the plane crashed on to a froz-
en lake, smashing the left wheel.
the dragging undergear swung the
plane around and it smashed into
trice bordering the lake.

he 'could net afrraet their attention alta aelping defeat the Axl hordes at
sea, on land .and in the air.
It is a far cry from the battle- freeze
of Europe to .the peaceful atmosphere
of Canadian homes, but if we follow
the adaptabilities of this remarkable
mineral we find that it also leads to
scores of different device= that make
our lit -es happier and more comfort-
able. Mica is perhaps ,•best known as
a heat and electrical insulator and at
:s found in aarying, amounts in electric
'irons; toasters, condensers and other
apeliancee of that kind. Irs use in
mechanized warfare, however, has
pro:ressed ay leaps and hounds 'be-
cause of the tremendous demand for
heat -proof materials, and ,because it
answers such requirements better than
anything else. All three of the fighting
services benefit from the use of mica.
For instance, ordinary spark -plugs
used in automobiles are unsafe in
aeroplanes,- ince :heir cores crack.
easily when splashed with oil or when
subjected to constant changes of tem-
perature. On the other hand, a mica
sparkplug, with its centre wire insul-
ated by a thin wrapping of sheet mica,
on outside of which are mica wash-
ers, pros ides high resistance to mech-
anical and thermal shock and renders
:he work of the gallant. Allied airmen
that much safer.
The exhaust pipes of high-speed
fighter and bomber aeroplanes would
59 a constant'fire menace if ordinary -
materials were used for insulation pur-
ples. Here again, mica plays an im-
,portant part. :Ground and mixed with
a binding ingredient, it forms a plastic
which is easily moulded and ,which
provides a hl..hee degree of heat res-
istance than other materials. 'Lenses
of goggles, smoke helmets and ,has
masks, too, are :Wade of clear, trans-
parent sheet mica. And. electrical ap-
paratus of all •kinds, essential to carry-
ing out mechanized defence and at-
tack, is aided in ane forth 'or another
eey this mineral.

! until Tuesday morning after he had
stamped a message itt the snow:
"Three dead—Joe."
The search plane dropped a note
over Musgrave harbor, ten miles
front the scene of the crash. giving
the location of the wreck. The bodies
and the pilot, not seriously injured,
were taken to Musgrave Harbor by a
search party.
In addition to bis work in aviation
medicine, Sir Frederick had turned
his talents to other fields of research
to aid Canada's war effort.
He was chairman of the National
Council's associate committee on
medical research, and a member of
a committee coniposed of leading
medical authorities whose work led
to establishment of "blood banks" in
Canada to provide transfusions for
as many as 20.000 Canadian and
British troops and civilians.
The committee made large scale
blood banks possible through discov-
ery of improved methods of storing
blood for use in transfusions later.
Treatment and storage of the blood
is now carried on at University of
Toronto under direction of Dr. C, H.
Best, who with Dr, J. R. MacLeod
was associated with Dr. Basting. in
the discovery of the insulin treat-
ment for diabetes.
That discovery- remains as the
best known work of the three men
throughout the world. -announced in
1922 it was first greeted with suspic-
ion in medical circles but soon prov-
ed itself so effective that it brought
acclaim from many parts of the
globe.
It brought Dr. Banting and Dr.
SlacLeod the Nobel prize for medi-
cine the following year. and Dr.
Benting immediately announced that
he felt Dr. Best should have been
included in the award and turned
over hall :tis prize money of 35.600
to Dr. Best.
The Canadian Government follow-
ed with an annnity of 57,51)0 to Dr.
Banting so that he could pursue his
research without interruption. and
as medical men of many lands hailed
the discovery as the greatest since
those of Pasteur, the Basting Insti-
tute was formed to carry: on as a re-
search foundation.
Sir Frederick received his knight-
hood in 19.34 in the birthday honors
list of King George V in June of
that year. He won recognition In a
new field in 1998 when William
Ewart Gye. director of the Imperial
Cancer Research Fund, said The find-
ings of the Canadian scientist had
made "substantial contributions to
the problem."
"Let me tell you," the plump wife
shouted at her husband, "that' it's
haa-d for a woman like me to be
brave in war -time."
"I know," retorted her long-suffer-
ing husband. "Look at all the ehins
you've got to keep up!"

20 MILLION PAIRS OF BOOTS
British tanners of sea leather have
achieved one of the country's finest
industrial records for 1940. They have
successfully carried :hroagh a colos-
sal expansion of output in order to
supply rhe Services ,with, 20,000.000
pairs of boots during the year and in
addition they bare amply :net the
demands from civilians at home and
overseas.
The increase in output is estimated
at 50 per cent. Hides have been ship-
ped to Britain from 40 overseas ports
to meet it, a big proportion of them
drum the enormous cattle resources
of he Empire„ put at 140 per cent of
the world's total livestock.
South America has provided anoth-
er vast warearne reservoir. Argentina,
with its 160,000000 cattle on the hoof,
has sent consignment after consign-
ment of hides ai high quality- thanks
to the increasing care of Argentine
cattle and to the scientific methods
which ,have been introduced into 'flay-
ing processes. `Uruguay, CoTonu1fia and
Brazil have all of them sent welcome
cargoes across the Atlantic too.
