DESCRIBES WAR
• JOB OF TELEPHONE
C. 0. Colbert, Son of Mr. and
Mrs. H. Colbert, of Town,
• Speaks At North Bay'.
The vital 'role played by the tele-
phone in the conduct and winning of
the war, was graphically portrayed
tor member of the North Bay Lions
Club Monday night in the St. ellegis,
Hotel by C. 0. Colbert, manager for
•• the North Bay bran'ch of the Bell Tele-
phone • C,onapkny. ., • .
"Telephone 'communications 'are vie -
el to the efficient prosecution of the
war," 'said Mr. Colbert. "On every
battlefield, at, home and everywhere
the war is being fought, the commun,
ications are essential to vittory."
He reminded his listeners how, dur-
ing the heat and dust of the Battle of
Egypt, British officers could hear ov-
er their field "radio, Field Marshal
Rommel personally radioing orders to'
bis tankimen; how -fighter and bomber
pilots communicate with one another
by telephone; how the invasion of
Poland was announced to President
Roosevelt in Washington by overseas

Roosevelt first became "acquainted"
by telephone; ,and how spotters of the,
Air' betection Corps, keep their lone-
ly vigils knowing they an telephone

"War on thousand -mile fronts, war
et 200 miles -an ihour is conducted to-
day as persbnally as an old-time cav-
alry charge," .said -Mr. Colbert. "This
ts possible because of the miracle of
modern communications."
Global war, he said, war around the
clock, is' being carried on as easily
as a chess game because of the speed
and scope of telephone service.
Confining his remarks to those war-
time problems facing. the Bell Tele-
phone Company in Ontario and Que-

"Prior to. Coming west, Mr. Broad -
foot was engaged in the furniture bus-

in the furniture business. Still later,

Avro-Anson Training Bomb-.
er Crashes in McKillop, 3
Miles From Seaforth, on
, Monday Morning,
ON FARM OF
JOSEPH LANE
Two airmen, an instructor and his
pupil, were instaatly killed on Mon-
day morning at 10.30 when their plare,
an Avro-Anson bomber, from No. 9
• Service Flying Training School at
Centralia, crashed on the farm of Mr.
Joseph Lane, in McKillop. They
were the only occupants of the plane.
Flight Sergeant .Stanley Oswald
'Cunningham, of 16 Cherrywood Ave.,
Toronto, was the instructor, and LAC.
George William Tarbath, from Pres-
ton, Lancaster, England, wae'the stu-
dent. •
The plane was on a routine train-
ing night when the crash occurred.
The cause of the accident is undetei-
mined as yet, and a court of inquiry
is Investigating.
An eye witness of the crash, Mr. 1.
S. McKercher, who lives aelittle over
a mile away, said his attention was
attracted, by the irregular way in
which the plane was flying, and while
watching it, he said it .seemed sud-
denly to head straight up into the et,
then turn over and nose dive to the
ground, where it burst into flameS.,
When he reached the scene of the
crash a few minutes after, Mr, McKer-
cher said both fliers were dead and
the plane practically consumed, and
the bodies were badly broken and
burnede. The plane landed beside a
e ire fence surrounding the orchard,
and just a ...few yards from the brick
residence.
An R.A.F. ambulance and wrecking
crew were soon on the -scene and the
bodies were removed to the undertak-
lug parlors of S. T. -Holmes & SOD, in
Seaforth, and later to Exeter.
Cunningham was .born in July, 1923,
and had trained et No. 6 I.F.T.S. at
Teronto, No. 20 E.F.T.S., Oshawa, and
received his navigator's badge nt No.
10 S.F,T.S., Hagersville. He took a
eying. instructor's course at Trenton
and has been stationed at Centralia
since. last .August.
Tarbath received his initial training
in England and his elementary train-
ing at Oshawa. He was scheduled to
graduate fromthe flying class in a
few weeks.•

The flag which on my breast I bear,
Are but the sign.
I am the Ambassidor for you,
I do what you would surely do -

COUNTY FLYING
SCflOOLTAKENOVER
Sky Harbor 'School Will Be
Operated By Dept. of
Defence For Air.
The Huron County Flying Training
School Limited, which has operated
No. 12 E.F.T.S. •(Sky Harbor) for the
Commonwealth Air Training Plan is
to beere.oi-ganized immediately at thZ
request Orthe Department of Defence
for Air, it has been announced by W.
L. Whyte, president of the gompany.
Mr. Whyte said that the preferred
and common shares held by the. share-
holders in Huron County are to be re-
deemed immediately. •
A •new agreement has been entered
in with the Department of Defence for
Air Whereby all profits made 'by the
company since operations were start-
ed itt October; 194:0, would be held in
trust by the company for the duratiort
of the new contraet. It was further
stated that it was the new policy of
the , department that allcommon
stocks issued by the elementary flying
schools should be held, by flying clubs
approved by the minister of defence
for air.
The Kitchener -Waterloo Flying Club
which moved to Sky Harbor at the
beginning of training operations owns
a large block of common stock in the
Huron County comeany and under re-
organization a deal has been negotiat-
ed whereby the Kitcheeer'and Water-
loo Club retains only 51 per cent. of
the common stocks.
Application already has been made -
to the secretary of state for a charter
for a Huron County Flying Club and
a •company meeting of all sharehold-
eri. will be held shortly .to organize.
this company, which will hold 49 per
cent. of the common stock. •
In the new arrangement Mr. Whyte.
said the Kitchenee and Walerlon Club
is relinquishing 31 per -trent. of its
common stock to the Huron County
Flying Club which will thus come in
to 4.9 'Per cent. of the ,profits, so far
made by the company and now held
itt reserve, • ,
This money, it ,was explaieed, .will
be available for development of post-
war civil aviation in Huron County
such as the establishment of landing
fields and it will assist in the rehabili-
tation of Huron County airmen now in
the R.C.A.F. after the tv:.
Every bolder of common stock in
Huron County is being contacted as
soon as possible, Mr. Whyte said. The
majority already have agreed to the
new plan. The.'preferred stock is be-
ing called in at once and is being paid
Inc, plus 5 per cent, up to date of.re-
demption.
Sky Harbor has been a most suc-
cessful and. profitable undertaking.
The officers are: President, J. R.
Douglas; sec.-treas., Ben Straughan;
directors; R. T. Bowman, Brussels; K.
