Th 0000011 concluded at r2 o'oloolt •o BOMBING R. F, C. Cadets Take Course In Bomb- In at Toronto University. So rapid has been the advance Made duffing tho past two ('8818 in aerial war fare that every aviator now trained by the Royal Plying Corps is pnt through many phases of worts, Not the least interesting branch of his studies comas under the head of Bombe and Bomb - Sighting. Indeed, the fascination and skill that this work involves, no lees than the exigencies of aerial warfare, have made bombing a highly special- ised branch of the service, At the school of Military Aeronautics, whioh 1t' located at The Toronto University the facilities provided for training are unusually elaborate. In aiming to hit a given target with a bomb the aviator has to take into consideration his altitude, the speed at which he it; travelling, the weight of his bomb and the winds power of de• fleotion, This is a matter of nine calc- ulation, He cannot aim a bomb as he would a gun, so he must release the bomb when he reaches the right spot. To aid him in calculating this, he has a bombeighting device. At the School of Military Aeronautics he learnt' thor- oughly the use of this d,evlbee from both the theoretical and practical standpoint For training cadets in bomb dropping a model aeroplane has been oonstruoted' beneath which moves a target painted tc represent theappearenoe of ground from a height of 4000 feet, This tar get is electrically operated, The cadet by using the "joy stick" and rudder controls of the model aeroplane, which is stationary, moves the target instead of the machine. This gives the exact effect of manoeuvring the aeroplane for position above an actual target as Been from the air •Objestivee can be clear- ly marked on this target with chalk. When the cadet has sighted his object he releases a miniature `bomb' which indicates whether he has sighted aoour atoly or not. By this novel arrange- ment ho oan gain much practice in this course and oan develop both judgement and skill under conditions which even though artificial, approximate very closely to actual bomb dropping from tho air. The various types of bombs and their wee form a study in themselves, Cadets uta the School of Military Aeronautics are shown the construction of each dif- ferent type with bombs that have some 8001(0ne out away. They are also in- etruoted how to handle those deadly weapons safely—arid effectively, The executive oommittee of the oouno 1 with George C. Petty of Hensall, as chairman, recommended the lopping off of numerous grants the Oounoil has been in the habit of granting and the Council to some extent concurred its the oommttees recommendation The grants to the agricultural societiea and women, Inetuteo were refused and the motion to grant $600 was reduced to $3oo to the Y M 0 A for soldiers com- forts. The 'motion to grant 58000 for the purchase of a shelter was refused, However, the Oouncil decided to ap- proach the councils of Lambton and Brune to see if arrangements could be made for a joint shelter with these counties or one of them if not both; and a committee, consisting of the warden olerk, and A Tipling, was appointed for this purpose The roads and bridge oonmittee'e re- port recommended the taking up of the good roads system in the county, and Nr B.ubeer of the good roads de- partment, of Toronto, was present to advise with the 001111811 on the dotaile of road otmetruetiou, The committee reeotnntenled the equilization of the a1nouut0 aunt in by the different mu- tiiotpalities every live yours, A opeoia THANKS Mrs Geo.
