Planes Swarm Over England For Training

SEVERAL CENTRES AWAY FROM COASTS HUM WITH AERIAL TRAFFIC AS YOUNG MEN FINISH

SCHOOL FOR R.A.F.

By GUY E.

LONDON, 0c. ZI-(CP) — “Somewhere in Central England" numerous student pilots are fin- ishing the advanced course that will 1111‘. them into the regular Royal Air Force. Among them are eight Canadians, all star pupils. their instructor says.

Approach this school any day in the week and ycu will see a swarm of planes ln the sky, some pur- suit. machines. a few bombers and a number of own-engined craft than look like medlum transport planes.

ear the drone of their engines as the lads carry out their night fly- ing tests.

The men here, ranging in age from l8 to 28, have come up from Elementary Training Schools the Civil Air Guard or the Air Force Volunteer Reserve. They could all fly something when they arrived, bub they needed intermediate and advanced tuition before they could graduate to the firing school which trains them in actual warfare, and so to the regular Air Force.

A imtch of them Will be going out soon now .Thcy have done their training in the dummy “Link Trainer" for fog flying, practised camera machine gunning, learned their navigation, got the hang of the morse code and their radio 5e15, had s. spell of camera oh=cura bombing and learned all about their machines.

Day after day they have work- ed long hours. They have flown 1n all kinds of weather. done all kinds of work. some of them can i/urn out a strip photographic aerial survcy that woulrl do credit w a veteran aerial cameraman. Some can sci; an imaginary bomb

They power-dived from about 1.000 feet, sud pulled out and roared past the cameras at about 300 miles an hour. 20 feet above the ground, and there didn't ap- pear to be more than 710 feet be- tween their wing tips. From this field they all go for a brief spell to a firin school, “somewhere on the coas ’,' to actual target practice with bombs and machine guns. Tnen they will leave. maybe, for "Somewhere in France," or for some distant part of the Empire, or they may stay at some British station to patrol sea-lane ap- proaches or guard their country from enemy attack, if it comes,

They don't seem to mind where they go. They are nearing the end of their courses and getting im- patient, like schooiboys when a term-end draws near. ‘They look like schoolboys too. with cheerful. bronzed faces, easy moving bodies and easy-going, confident control of their planes.

Outstanding Hog Shipment

In view of the fact that Central and Western Prince County has been very low in hog production it is encouraging to note that the Egmont Bay-Mt. Carmel district is making rapid strldesboth in hog produciion and in hog improve- ment. As evidence of this we have the results of a recent shipment from Wellington which graded 8'1‘5% A's of the hogs within the proper weights. This is n. record not rurnasscd by any other ship- ping point. It is evidence that the breeding ‘Zorkshlrcs in fills dLstrict are of the hluhcst quality. At the Egmont Bay Exhibition the judge stated that many of the animals on exhibit were equal in type to those shown at the Provincial Ex- hibition at Charlotfcmwn.

This improvement is the result of o special effort made by the district with the assistance of the Federal snd Provincial Deport- rlents of Agriculture. In 1038 a number of selected Yorkshire sows were placed in this district under the Sucker Sow Club Policy. ‘Later s. very high class boar was pur- chased. This, together with a great improvement in feediulr practices. is placing Egmont Bay-Mt. Carmel on the map as the best hog produc-

From every section of the Prov- ince we bear that the pelts are better than for many years. bctisr color. greater volume of fur and larger pups seem to be the order r. the day. I: seems that we have run into one of the cold cycles as from late tember temperatures have very se dom been above t5 degrees during the nights. while on numerous occasions they have gone below freezing. It is practically the same kind of weather as they have been enjoying in Wisconsin for many years and if November should come in with snow, and freeac a- ‘ ut the first or second week and continue. it would mean that pelt- ing could be done around the 110th of November. although foxes that nre maintaining color would be bet- ter left another week or more.

‘There is a rush. we are fold, by many ranchers to take off pelts with a view of placim them on early sales. This is quite under- standable. and providing the sni- mals would not show improve- ment. there is no reason why it should not be done, but a good pelt cleat- sllver and good blue black will improve lrr ‘y with

a few more weeks by the dsvelog
