My last article had made ref-
erence to the problem of winter
'travelling from the Canadian
mainland to the only island pro,
vinoe, Since writing that
article I again visited the island
when even more serious prob-:

to the progress of the boat thru
the trobuled 'waters. However

fore in post-war years. One does
not 'need ,tivo guesses. to. know
that the air transport, will be a
very, big factor in our vast_ \ sys-
tem of intercommunication.
I had, the rare experience. one
afternoon of travelling in a plane
fully fitted for fighting. in. Can::

the take off . and soon we were

worry over visibility on a day
like this since this was limited
only by distance, the circumferI

gained altitude.
One thing -that has impressed
*me on the few ocacsions in which
it has:been my pleasure totravel

•the early map makers. In ,their

only by boat and yet their gen-

is visible from a high'. altitude.,
We were . able to see the outline

areas' of Eastern Canada it was
interesting to watch for the vari-

myself. I don't suppose the rank-

his class a Bible story:
"Elijah built an altar and piled
:wood on it"; he,said, "then he Gut
up the bullock in pieces and laid

the people to fill barrels with
