and part of Quebec covering a route routes shown on the map marked "A" It is this Company that operates the
air services between Leamington and
Pelee Island, carrying passengers,
express and mail. Leavens Bros. re-
cently established their own airport
at Leamington, in order to facilitate
this service.
They also control a London Com-
pany known at Leavens Bros. (Train-
ing) Limited, which has operated No.
4 Air Observer School, a unit of the
British -Commonwealth Air Training'
Pla
n, for the past three years, on a
non-profit basis. This Company em-
ploys over 800 men and women and is
located at the London City Airport.
Scores of twin -engined aircraft are
operated night and day on cross
country trips lasting• about three
hours for the purpose of training Air
Navigators and Air Bombers for the
Royal Canadian Air Force:
stance of 2,508 miles, which will
connect more than: fifty communities
at present 'without scheduled air line
services, have been applied for by
Leavens Bros. to the Controller of
Civil Aviation at Ottawa.
The system planned is composed of
twelve routes which will result in
air servives being provided to practic-
ally every main community in Ontario
and part -of Quebec. The system as
planned completely blankets Southern
Ontario and. extends as far north as
Cochrane and east to Montreal.
This announcement has been made
by Leavens. Bros. W. T. Leavens,
President, and C. R. Leavens, General
Manager, of Leavens Bros. Air Ser-
vices Limited, located at Barker Air-
port, Toronto, Leavens Bros. said
that they were 'ready to commence
operations on these routes, .on a regu-
larly scheduled basis, as soon as air-
craft are available and as soon as it
is the policy of •the Govermnent to
issue the necessary permits. They in-
tend notifying the various town and
city councils of further' details of the
plan, as the postwar period approach-
es, or the restrictions on civil aviation
are lifted.
The network as planned,,is hinged
on Toronto as the operating base
using the Island Airport because of
its proximity to '.downtown Toronto.
In addition to providing regular ser-
vice for all the communities' narked
on the map, it will act as.a "Feeder"
service for Trans -Canada and other
air lines.

senger and mail schedules, but cargo

are the ones they could commence
operating immediately and those
marked. "B" would be operated, as air -
post facilities become available. They
said 'they hoped that all communities
realized .the necessity of having air-
port facilities and that they would
put • into effect the post war plans
that many of them have announced
recently. They do not feel that com-
munities with a population of from
five to twenty thousand, require large
expensive airports. Two or three sod
runways, level and well drained and
measuring approximately ,three thou-
sand feet in length, would be ideal.It
would result in giving the community
its proper place on the post war air
map. Low cost hangers and waiting
rooms could be constructed on Ala
fields.
The further stated that those in-
terested in civil' aviation in keeping
with the Hon. G, D. Howe's .announced
policy, should be making plans now,
to provide employment for the thou-
sands of young men now on active
service, in the Royal Canadian Aar
Force. They feel that the system of
air lines that they have planned will
be important to the economic struct-
ure of the country and that it will
absorb a good many of the skilled,
experienced men returning from over-
seas.
Leavens Bros. Air Services Limited,
which has been active in all phases
of aviation since' 1927, is, at the pre-
sent time, an overhaul depot for

Sawdust Burners Are in

These are at least two citizens of
Win•hi
a 11
g that have no fear of the
coal shortage. They are Mr. David
Murray and Dr. George Howson: The
reason is that they have installed saw-
dust Burners to heat their homes and
Dave has one in his shop also.
Sawdust burners are nothing new
but we believe that these are the first
to be installed in Winghain. Over in
Lucknow they have been in use for
some time and we understand that
they are quite common in British
Columbia and the Maritime provinces.
Mr. Murray was the first to install
one here. This was shortly before
Christmas. He reports, as does the
Doctor, that, the results are excellent.
At first they both experienced some
difficulty but soon got familiar with
the .way to .get best results.— Wing
