Ford Executive Solves Problem
of Travel Time With Airplane
Crowd Examining Ford Tri -Motors

trip to his branch factories anti
dealers he turns to the airplane for
rapid transportation and quick
jumps over long distances,
When Mr. Wallace R. Campbell,
president of the Ford Motor Com -
pony of Canada, Limited, found
two weeks which he could devote to
a long -deferred survey of his west-
ern Canada branches he chose a
Ford tri -motor club plane as the
vehicle best able to cover the ter-
ritory in the time available, Tra-
velling in the great luxurious air
yacht was as comfortable as riding`
in the best Pullman train an
thrice as fast. During the 12 -day
tour which carried the Canadian
industrialist as far north as Ed-
monton and as far west as Calgary
the plane travelled 3,700 miles in a
total flying time of 36 hours, 10
minutes,
The tour enabled ldc'. Campbell
to inspect branch factories, confer
with dealers, study economic
con-
ditions in thPraire Proinces and
shape the plans of his company for
future activities in those areas. He

ing, favorable prospects for a fair
wheat crop and business men gen-

store prosperity.
During the tour, Mr. Campbell
had as his guests on plane flights
Hot. J D. McGregor, lieutenant -
governor of Manitoba, and Hon. W.
G. Egbert, lieutenant -governor of
Alberta, the latter flying with the
party from Edmonton to Calgary.
Miss Edena Newlands, daughter of
the lieutenant -governor of Sas-
katchewan, flew with the party
from Regina `to North Battleford,
piloting, the big plane herself part
of the way.
The first day's flight from East
Windsor, Ontario, carried Mr.
Campbell and his party via St."
Paul to Winnipeg, a distance of 929
miles, in 8 hours, 45 urinates, much
of the time against head winds,
The same jump by train would
haoZ required 36 hours, or the total
time consumed on the 3,700 mile
flying survey trip.
The route of the tour from Win-
nipeg was via Brandon and Virden
to Regina; Moose Jaw, Saskatoon
and North Battleford to Edmon-
ton; thence to Calgary and through
dDakota, MedicineHat, Moose Jaw, .Minot,
and St. Paul, b ,:sk
to East Windsor. Only once did
weatherconditions delay the party
and that was when a vinlv-1t d
storm ragged over the prairies, forc-
ing the plane back to Reginaafterit had fought its way aga.nst the.
storm and a 35 -mile wind to a
point 25 miles north of Moose Jaw,
when all other planes, including
the mail planes, were grounded,
Mr. Campbell found the people
of Western Canada very :sir-mind-
ed
n tittnd-ed and actively supporting' the de-
velopment of some of the finest
airports to be found in the Domin-
ion. Crowds of 10,000 to 1,5,000
persons turned' out in some of the
larger Cities to greet the party and
view the Ford plane, the first "tri-
motor transport to be ;seen in those..
provinces outside of Winnipeg.
