NEW CALEDONIA
Proposal by Gen. Henry H. Arnold for maintenance of a series of defence lines in the Pacific for
U. S. security is receiving growing support in Congress. Latest proposal, by a House naval com-
mittee, would provide major fleet bases at Pearl Harbor, Guam, Saipan, Ilillo, Manus and Noumea,
with a main naval air base at Mactan Island, secondary bases, fleet anchorages and land and sea
plane bases on the other islands as shown. The whole would comprise chains of security far from
U. S. shores.
QUISLING GOES ON TRIAL
Grim faced, Vidkun Quisling, whose name is synonymous with
traitor, is on trial for his life. Among crimes for which he is accused
is the murder of Norwegian patriots, whose bodies were found
buried in mass graves in Norway's Trandum Forest. He is shown
in horror forest under close guard.
CANADIAN SOLDIERS ENJOY AUSTRALIA
Judging frons the smiles on these Canadian soldiers, they are having
a good time "down under". Stationed in Australia as observers,
they apparently believe in the old saying, "When in Rome do as
the Romans do." - as evidenced by the "digger" hats as worn by
Aussie soldiers, Left to right, leaning out a wnidow: S/Sgt. J. H.
Laycroft, High River, Alta., S/Sgt. W. D. Duncan, Coronation
Alta., and S/Sgtf C. H. Laycroft, twin brother to J. H. Laycroft,
Inset: Sgt. R. McCallum, of Port Arthur, Ont., and Winnipeg.

The airplane will make easy one of the most arduous of farm jobs — that of planting crops, according
to Dr. Lytle S. Adams, Los Angeles inventor of the airmail pickup system and designer of the airplane
planter shown in diagrams above. Under this plan, seed is first made into pellets with fine clay mixed
with fertilizer and insect and rodent repellent. These seed "pills" would be fed by gravity from a bin in
the fuselage into a rapidly rotating rimless wheel whose spokes are hollow tubes. Weight'of the pellets
and speed of the wheel would imbed the seed in the soil at depths satisfactory for germination, says Dr.
Adams, who claims that as many as 14,545 acres could be sowed per hour. The device also can be
adjusted for row planting. The aero -sower is reported especially useful in sowing fields to sugar beets,
fodder turnips, alfalfa and other pasture grasses and other products requiring no cultivation. The essen-
tial features of the system are shown on the diagram above, based on data prepared by Air Trails
Pictorial Magazine.
