“Uncertain Lady” _ At The Capitol

An amusingly told tale of wo- man's emancipation in this modem dgy nnd age is unfolded in Un- certain Lady," Universals romantic and witty comedy drama. shown on the screen of the Calliifli T719511‘? yesterday.

Genevieve Tobin portrays the fas- cinating role of a modern wife W110 is a business woman first, while Ed- ward Everett Horton supplies a bar- rage of laughs with his comic capers, so familiar to movie fan-5- "Uncertain Lady" is a “new deal" for American wives who wonder where their wandering hubbies are at night. You‘ve seen pictures depict women who place pleasure before business, but there is one who re- verses the formula successfully.

Miss Tobin and Horton are ideal running mates in this film, with a grand supporting cast of players, 1n- cluding Paul Cavaiiagh. Renee Gadcl, Mai-y Nash. Dorothy Peterson, George Meeker, Donald Reed and many other popular names.

_ AerialDeyvelopment

-" (By Evelyn S. ma)

when the first plane of Canadian Airways landed at Akllvik. I. 1M1! Eskimo fishing village and trading post near the mouth of the Mao- kenzie, on Dominion Day, 1029. the natives were delighted and amazed. Some 1.500 miles north of Edmon- ton mg s00 north of the Arctic Circle, this latest miracle devised by white men's magic was entirely new to them. True. the talking- bou: out of which Voices mime so mysteriously, the machine which sewed the caribou skins more swift- ly than a. dozen women, these mur- vesl, thanks t0 the trader. had 10x18 since become familiar. But a 8R“ bird inside which men might ride as long as they wished, coming to rest where they pleased, was more wonderful than any of those things. They crowded eagerly about the machine. asked to be token up. 16' marked with envy on its speed. 811d enquired hopefully as to the cost oi’ one in white-fox skins, the local currency- Their minds had successfully leaped the gap of the centuries whleh separlted the travel methods of the Stone Age from the most modern form of transportation known io civilized men. one old Eskimo woman, however, refused to be impressed. The white man's "devil-bird," she said, was not really a bird at all. None but fools would have faith in it. It did not flap its wings.

Hundred Caches

In spite of this undeniable struc- tural handicap, however, it is the proud boat 0f Canadian Airway, the largest air transportation company in Canada, that its planes can travel anywhere a bird can fly. To meet emergencies and prevent de- lay on these migrations-which last year covered over o. million miles, representing nearly 130,000 flying hours-they have over s hun- dred caches of airplane fuel and oil scattered all over the North Country, from Cartwright in Liab- rador to Dawson in the Yukon. Un- protected by any shelter, these drums are merely set down 0n open barrens, or on the shores of a. lake or river. where they will be plainly visible from the air. Some of these caches have to be arranged for a full year ahead of requirements, since water transpor- tation in the Far North is available only a few months yearly. With this great organization reg- ularly servicing the whole country from Grindstone Island in the Magdalens to Aklavik, which today ls the terminus of the most north- erly air route in the world, the word "inaccessible" can no longer be applied to any place in the Do- minion.

They were convoyed by special guides, traders and trappers who made up the fur brigade from Sas- katchewan, who happened to be st York Factory when they arrived and were just leaving for the return Journey. The settlerswere heading for the Forks, Bit the junction of the Assinibcine and Bed. Rivera, where Winnipeg now stands.

Although he assumed a bluff and hail fellow-well-mct manner Stan- ley Cobb was really a rather shy and diffident person. His appar- ent naivete may have been useful in the subtler phases of our busi- ncss; and it is popularly supposed that he did extremely well with the Russians at a time when re- prescntativcs of other great houses were hesitant and mistrustful.

It tookhim four months to reach it. and nearly five months to get back. The white man's “devil-bird" makes that trip in one day, each way. In the past three years, Canadian Airways have distributed over 84 tons of mail in that once isolated region. It is less than ten years since planes were first used by this com- pany, largely as an experiment, to transport men and equipment into mining areas in northern Manitoba and Ontario. The experiment be- came a. tremendous success. Within the next few years hundreds of men and tons of supplies and machinery were carried for big companies like the Hydson Bay Mining and Smelt- ing. Flin Flon and Shcrritt Gor- don. Since that time, the Patricia area in Ontario has produced $2.- 500,000 of gold. the Northern Mani- toba district $6,000,000. Canada, in the few years sincethe airplane has aided prospecting and develop- ment, has become the world's sec- ond largest gold producer, paying out hundreds o! millions in divid- ends alone.

Eldorldo Discovered

Fiylnglnforaloiuioffursio the Great Bear Lilke region in Mackenzie a few years ago, a Can- adian Airways plane took along a prospector named Gilbert LeBine, who had asked for a lift. Crossing the, thousand mile terrain oi’ the Great Bear. IeBine, who was peer- ing over the side of the plane, gave s sudden cry: "See!" he exclaimed to the pilot. pointing down, "below, there, it looks different‘. See, it is a. lighter coor. the rock. Let me downl" Thus came into being the world famous Elder-ado Mine, with its nuggets o! native silver, its life- giving ladium, its valuable uran- ium by-pmducts. ‘Ibday at Port Hope. Canada has established the only radium pro- ducing plant in the British llknpire. It was from this plant that a tiny parcel containing 323 milligrams of radium was sent two weeks ago to the ontario Government. who paid $17,000 for it. It will be used in the cancer clinic throughout the .pro- vince. gram of radium is worth $66,000. Every 200 tons of that pitchblende (whose presence made the ground ‘look different") yields about 20 grams of radium, valued at $1,000,000. Out of the North country last year, came enough gold alone to guarantee at least the temporary solvency of the Dominion, keep our credit sound in the markets abroad. The Province of Quebec alone, last year, produce almost $11,000,000 Manitoba over $2,000,000. Aside from this direct contribution to the new wealth of the country.‘ the money spent on wages; equipment, road building, mining and milling plants. etc, which runs into mil- lions, has done a great deal to les- sen employment problems in the provinces concerned, and lighten the Provincial and Federal econom- ic buiden, . - When the farmer on the prairies looks up from his seeding and sees a plane flying overhead. he should wish it good luck and Godspeed. It may be some old prospector on his way to discover another Flln Flori. a New Bonanza, another Lake Shore. The Province of Manitobabeneflts from Flin Fon alone to the extent of 88.000000 annually in wages and taxes. The town of Flin Flon has a population of 4,500 and no de- pression. Without the plane these developments could not have taken place for years and years to come.

Who Knows?

Who knows, but that great pre- Cambrian shield, of which 97 per cent lies wholly in Canada. may contain enough wealth to pay off our National Debt many times ovorl A complete and exhaustive geolog- ical survey of it should be made without delay. In the north lies great Canadian hope. This last year the mining industry of Can- ada. produced no less than 250 mil- lion dollars.

Such surveys are today tremend- ously facilitated by the employment of aerial photographs. which have reached an almost uncanny stage of perfection. They record faith- fully every topographic feature, ev- ery fault and fissure in the rock formaiion, even changes in rock CDIOraJOn and vegetation.

They give a. very good idea. in themselves, of ‘the geology of the region.

Within an hour the first plane had left, carrying a few supplies. and, the glad assurance for frayed tempers on board that four others would be right along to take ofl the passengers. pick up the mail and express, and “clear up" the ship. Within a few hours, mail, passeng- ers, baggage and express parcels had all been rescued, and safely distributed at their various destin- ations, at widely separated points in the province, and along the Gaspe coast.

Sometimes a ship is frozen in and reported in need of supplies where ice conditions are so bad that the planes dare not land. Then the only thing to do is to fly over, and drop the parcels of food. med- iclne, and other requirements on the ice. Year before last a similar trip was made from theCansdian Airways base at Bums Lake to one of the camps in the McConnell Creek placer field in British Col. umbia, where the miners were fac- ed with starvation. Making the trip on floats, the pilot found he could not land at the camp since the lake was frozen over. So he flew bMk and forth over the snowy mountain slopes. and in spite of the fact that the cold was so ter- rlflo-‘t-hat the engineer's hands were frozen, he dropped 800 pgundg

Even in this practical, pro- 5810 88¢. this book records some very strange and romantic quests indeed. It has long been known, for instance, that the Sir John FIB-villi“ expedition. which explor- ed the remote regions at the mouth 0f the Coppermine River and the shores of Coronation Gulf, perished somewhere in that snow-clad wild. erness in 1847. Canadians who have visited Westminster Abbey will recall the bust of Ih-sriklin which occupies a. niche wlthln the Explorers Comer oi’ that hallow- ed shrine. and the touching lines from Tennyson which are engraved below:

Manion (Minister of Railways): The hon. gentleman was good enough to inform me that lis would ask this question. 1 have mails inquiries of the management at Montreal and they assure me that the work is being hurried with all possible speed. and that while tits boat has been delayed four days ow- ing to the fact that some other ship which was damaged got precedence because of in accidents, s1 the same time the four days will be the only delay. In other vrords, ths Charlottetown should be ready ids service by tho 27th, instead of ths original date. the 23rd. If it is ready for service on the 27th there is no reason why it should not be on tbs route by the 1st of July.
