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
