One rust go back ninety or a hundred years to visualize the settlement of the white man in, at'. least, this part of Canada. The means of getting from one place eo another was really, the be- ginning of the roads of today. This df necessity meant walking as the land was covered with forest. Prev- ious to that time the only travellers had been, Indians who made, paths through the forest, The Indians made a one man traek as they followed along one after another in running fashion. The next tribe would often use the same trail or would wander further afield and make new trails, very often in pursuit 'of the first tribe. Then one day the pioneer white man decided to take up land and pushed .his way through the forest. He often left his family behind at scene central station and had started off with idea of making a home, In many instances these settlements were started near a river. In order to clear his homestead he had to chop down trees, part of which were used for -constructing the log cabin and part for making furniture. Indoing these things he received help from those who like himself were seeking a future home. Our talk today is not on settle- ments, but on roads and from the be- ginning of time in Canada there has been a continual improvement on the road problem, As soon as the homes were built the settlers transported their families, with the possessions they had brought from the old land. These were. us- ually brought in wagons, sometimes covered ,and this necessitated wid- ening the roads. Some way had to be found for getting them aeross the riv- er. This is where the ferry boat comes in. The first settler usually built the boat which was fairly sub- stantial. He plied back and forth ov- er the river carrying passengers and possessions. We can imagine the eag- erness with tvhseh the mother and family leaked across the river to see if any way they could discern their future home. As we can huagine roads were in very poor shape as practically noth- had been done with thein but just to chop down the trees and fill in the worst holes along the way Many of us who have riden over pitch holes in the winter season will have some idea of what the roads were like, oc- casionally as we travel through the country districts we come to a space where there is a -bush on either side of the road. We see the ends of logs sticking out and in answer to out' question as to the reason for this we are told that it is the remains of an old courderoy road, where logs had been put in to prevent the boggy et ound from sinking. These roads are now pretty much a thing of the past. From that time on constant improve- ment has been made until now one can drive, along in a motor ear over roads which are as smooth • as the floors in the early homes. What is more pleasant• than to walk along a country road in the twil- ight of the day. The sun has gone down behind the horizon the stars have taken their positions to guard the night and with the exception of passing cars all is quiet. As we look back many walks such as that have. brought a great deal of pleasure. It is true that even on some of the main highways there are hills. At the tone roads were laid out in the first plate there was little way except hand shovelling to make passage through a hill, Climbing was heavy but, tie with other dieficultics, one ha, to tui mount it by hard work. Even in spite of the vast differ- ence iu the roads of today we do not receive the enjoyment :from the use of then that the pioneers got from their hard earned roads. We wonder why it is, but the reason is not hard to find. The basis of the home life at that time was the Christ whom we to a large extent have forgotten today. All roads at that time led to the church oe to the home of some settler where the word of God was be- ing preached by a travellig minister who went about doing his work. through a large field, The majority of churches today are made of brick or stone. The congregations who have built them have' given their means, They ahve built the churches. Heave then felt that their duty was ended and that it was not necessary for them to attend services. A car- toon in one .of the papers recently portrayed a nice looking church, in pleasant surroundings. Ots e notice board in front was printed, "There wil be no services here on Sunday nights during July and August. His Satanic Majeety was standing look- ing at it, and he is quoted as say- ing "That's. fine for me. 1 never take a holiday:" How much better the world would be today if Christains refused to take so many holidays! Let each one of us think that over and de- cide just how much we are using the roads to lead we to God's House, In all .nr'obability We will find that we are travelling over them for pleasure and ar. e breaking the 'yaws of His Clinton Collegiate Institute Lower School Promotions.

Royal Canarlian Air Force and the British Common- wealth Air Training. Plan,. written for the weekly newspapers of Ont- ario. Hy HUGII TEMPLIN Camp Borden is Canada's best known flying school. With its six square miles of fiat, sandy land, it is probably the largest as well, It was an air training camp during the last Great War, from 1914 to 1018. In those far-off days, it wasn't too popu- lac. Sand got into the buildings and the clothing and the food. -Occasion- ally a veteran pilot remarks: "I won- der if the old hangars are still at Camp Borden." The pilots of the last war would see many changes. Some of the old buildings remain but they are hard to find among all the new ones. The sand is now subdued, with green grass holding it down, though it was necessary to keep the seed in place with wire netting on some of the dunes until it sprouted. The administration buildings and some others are of per- manent brick. Camp -Borden is now the No. 1 Service Flying Traintng School df the Royal Canadian Air Force. My own guess is that it is also the largest and in some ways the finest air' school on the continent. It deviloping rapiily, S visited the R.C.A.F. at Camp Borden twice. clay.

As, with the great Pathfinder, we journey up and on Toward the Heav'nly City with its eternal dawn. • The narrow is the broad road when Jesus leads the way To Avenues of Service for others day by day; For, from a small beginning Love's highway broadens out, till The gates swing wide to eKaven, at the summit of Life's hill." • ",PE,G„ Within a few months, I found notable changes, particularly the fact that the collection of assorted planes at the camp last Fall has been replaced by long lines of sleek Harvarcls, with a few Yates. It is another indication of the way the supply of training craft has caught up to the needs. Ten Weeks of Flying Of the six months necessary for the training of a pilot itt Canaille the last ten weeks are spent at Camp Borden or one of the other Service Flying Traitung Schools. On arrival, the student, now with the rank of Leading Aircraftmatt, is able to fly a plane :at a hundred miles an hour or so. He has learned to find his. way across country, has done simple aero- batics (or stunts, if you like) and has had lectures on a variety of subjects from signals to navigation. Advanced flying is taught by ex- perienced pilots at Camp Borden, The sleek and lovely Harvarcls fly at speeds' over 200 miles an hour. They ego the yellow, noisy, -aigle-motored craft often seen in the air over South- ern Ontario. Everything at Camp Borden is lar- ger or faster. The three main run- ways are paved strips 3000 feet long and 600 feet wide. Commercial air- ports near the largest cities are tiny by comparison. Even that isn't suffi- cient, there are two auxiliary landing fields at Edenvale and Alliston, each as large as a commercial • field, but used only in of emergency. Other things are speeded up as welt. Planes sometimes seem to rise in swarths; a control tower is neces- sary to sort out the traffic. It is said. that landings in a year may number 250,000. Gasoline consumption is enormous, Lectures Still Continue On my second trip to Camp Bet - den„ I arrived at the gate just as a black thunderstorm swept over the plains. Sax or seven pilots were up when the storm arrived and they had to stay up till conditions. became inure suitable. It was an hour before the last one was down and the crew in the control tenger breathed a sigh of relief. . No damage had been done and the young pilots had gained valu- able experience,. . It was no day to stay outside, so 1 talked with Squadeon Leader Carter., the Commanding Officer, who has since been transferred toe a new school at Qlaresholm, Alberta. Fly- ing Officer Douglas showed .me the lecture` rooms, the armament rooms" and the course of study, and Squacl- •ron Leader Bradshaw initiated me in- GENERAL ARTS SECRETARIAL SCIENCE.

Huge, paved runways criss-cross the field; giving ample room for land- ing, no matter what the wind direo- tion. On the edge of the field, near the hangars, rises the control tower, which is the nerve centre of the fly- ing field. To the casualevisitor, the control tower looks unpretentious. It is three storeys high, covered with asphalt shingles. Around the edges of the roof hang all kinds of odd things that mean nothing to the outsider, but much to the pilots. On a tall pole above the roof is an anemometer, or instrument for measing the velocity of the wind. Each of its four cups is about the size of a half -orange peel. Inside the glassed -in compartment on top of the tower is a crew of three or four surrounded by instruments and signalling equipment. On a desk is a list of all planes in use, with the numbers, the names of the pilots and other inforamtion. As each plane comes down the runway, it gets a sig- nal from the tower with an Aldis lamp, then gains speed, takes the proper runway, and is off into the air. The Aldis lamp is used for signal- ling in the Air Force and the Navy, both clay and night. 0n active ser- vice, in convoy work and the like, it is safer to use than wireless, as the messages cannot be picked up by the enemy. The signal- lamp is about the size of a large automobile headlight, with a lens that concentrates a powerful ray of light in a narrow beam. Above the lamp is a sighting tube, so that the ray of light can be aimed accurately, and underneath are a pistol grip and trigger. Words in Morse code can lee sent, or different oolored lights used. A green signal gives the pilot the sign to go; a red to stop. As a more general signal to pilots in the air, Very lights are used. They are bright flares, like glorified Rom - tole, The flare looks Iike an oversized shot -gun shell, and fits into a pistol with a large barrel.. A red flare indi- cates that something is wrong; the white is a general recall; the green a signal that everything is O.K. A switchboard oontrols the elabor- ate electrical equipmenb-floodlight, searchlights, rotaring air beacon and the rest. One is marked "Ceiling Light," but the ceiling in this case is the sky. A powerful light on top of a distant hangar points straight up to the clouds. By sighting along a rotat- ing arm to t'he spot where the light sticke the clouds, and reading the figures on a metal arc, it is. possible to determine the height of the "ceil• ing" for flying. A system of flags, colored balls and tin Bans indicates weather conditions and directions to be taken in landing. 0 a flat roof nearby, oddly shaped and colored pieces of wood are laid out to give similar information: On the rainy afternoon which I spent in the tower, they said: "Use runways only:" "Land front the South," and "All flying washed out." Besides the control tower stands the "crash crew," with fire fighting truck always ready in case of acci- dents. If a pilot gets into difficulties, the crew will be well out on the field before he lands, 'with an ambulance not far behinds. The crash truck drives from all six wheels and carries equipment for all types of fires, There are the ordinary fire extinguishers and a 100 -gallon tank of water. For fires in oil and gasoline, carbon dioxide is used to quench the flames by depriving them of oxygen. A foam tank lays a blank- et of bubbles over the fire, keeping away the air. The fire fighters use asbestos uniforms and blankets of the same fireproof material. Runways are not illuminated for night flying, but pilots must learn to land with no more equipment than is used on active service on British air fields. Small flares, not visible above 000 feet altitude are laid out in the pilot ,lumws where the runways and the horizon• are and d can come in with scarcely a bump. Pilots Get Their Wings After ten weeks at 'Camtp. Borden or some other Service Flying Train- ing School, the student pilot is ready to go overseas for final training un- der combat conditions: In token of this, he is given his "wings" and the rank of Sergeant Pilot The wings ceremony is simple and impressive. The graduates stand in the centre of a hollow square, with their comrades around them. Among the class may be young men from Australia, New Zealand, England and Scotland, the Straits Settlements or other parts of the Empire. There are likely to be some Americans and a arge proportion of Canadians. The Commanding Officer calls out the names of the graduates, one by ', one. They drop back a pace or two, march down to the end of the line, around the front and then proudly up the centre. A salute is returned by: the O.C. and he pins the pilot badge, a pair of wings, with the letters, "R.G.A.F" (for the Canadians), sur- mounted by a crown, on the breast of the tunic, offers congratulations and a handshake. This is one time when visitors are present, usually relatives who come to see the graduation cere- mony. IVlost of the- graduates of Camp Borden are "single seater" fighting pilots. They have been trained in. the Harvarcls by day and by night. They are taught to find their way across country alone in all kinds of weather ,to use machine guns and advanced gun sights. They will take over the Hurricanes, the Spitfires and still newer models after some further training in England. But a few are trained as bomber pilots. They use the Avro Ansons, a slower, twin- engined plane. As the various camps are tuning to specialized work, the bomber pilots will probably be going to other schools in future. -,"moi: W�a� Till it? There is perhaps no better illustration of co-operation between an industry and the people it serves than that of the implement industry and farming. Its inception was the making available to other farmers the tools which one ingenious farmer developed to lighten his own labors and enable him to accomplish more in the always -too -short seasons. Its support by farmers to the point which has enabled the building of organiza- tions financially strong enough and technically equipped to carry on large scale experimental engineering has increased its efficiency and usefulness to the benefit of every farmer. In the implement engineer, the farmer has had a partner ever intent on finding easier and more profitable ways of doing the jobs he has to dog The co-operation of the implement maker, in this respect, has transformed farming and made farm life pleasanter and more profitable- a co-operation that really counts.
