Wiley

tempt to N-aviga

Wiley Post, was crossed Canada twice in his epochal flightsmvas s. flier of the future and his death with Will Rogers in an Alaskan crush lost summer ended a career that brought much to aviation.

Little has been told of Post‘ four unsuccessful attempts to fly across the continent in the substratosp- here. Aviation experts agree there was real success in those “failures!” The following is the first of four articles by Billy Parker, air engin- eer. flier and co-worker of Post, on the lotions last great adventures.

By BILLY PARKER. (Coyprlght, 1936, by The Associat- cd Press)

Whistling. scremning diving down out of the stratosphere, a long {fall of smoke streaming be- hind her, came the famous old Winnie Mae of Oklahoma.

Had you been there to see her, there is no doubt you would have thought her on fire, for no ship ever trailed such I a column of smoke without flamcs ahead of it.

But no one saw her. for this drama was staged for out over the desert in eastern (‘allfornla early on the morning of Feb. 22, I935.

in that ship. blinded by burning oil and handciappcd by a useless engine and cumbersome stratosp- here togs, sat Wiley Post. He was calmly debating what to do in order to damage his beloved ship the least He was not worried. Wiley never was worried

His greatest emotion at the mo- ment. I believe. was disappoint- ment that he was unable to reach New York, his goal, and that many months of painstaking research and labor were ‘ending thus. But down and down he came, headed for the one spot he knew best in that section of the country. Muroc dry lake. ‘

As he approached its flat sur- face he saw a lone automobile stranded on- the sand. Circling and slipping t0 chock his speed. Post came to a perfect. landing on the belly of the ship about 300 yards from the motor cor. (Post had dropped the landinggem‘ after the take-off to reduce wind resistance).

He believed the ship was afirc. and as he had more than 300 gal- lons of gasoline aboard. he climbed out hurriedly, preferring to watch the conflagration frqn a distance. Once outside, he found all the smoke was caused by burning lubricating oil and that there was no danger of the ship's burning

Post turned his attention to gett- ing out of his suit, which could be accomplished only with help, and then saw a mun busy at the automobile, his head under its raised hood. Apparently the mun

Winter Sailing Of C. N. R. Shins

Sailings of passenger and freight vessels of the Canadian platlonal steamships for the winter seasons!‘ i936 are now announced by Cap- taln E. E. Tcdford, Acting Gener- al Manager of tho company, these departures initiating the new schedules which will b9 effective up to the early spring period.

On the route known as the “Western Service" from Halifax via Boston to Bermuda, the Bahama Islands and Jamaica. a fortnight- ly service has been arranged for the liners “Lady Rodney” and "Lady Somers“, with the first sailing of the New Year taking place from Halifax on January 9. to be fol- lowed by other regular sailings 11D to April l6. Connection is made at Jamaica for British Honduras by tho fortnightly sailings of the steamer "Connector" in service be- tween the ports of Kingston and

Belize.

In the “Eastcm Service" from Halifax via Boston to Bermuda. the Leeward and Wifldwfird 1515M?» Barbados, Trinidad and British Guiana, a fortnightly service will be in effect by the liners “Lady Nemn," "Lady Drake" and "Lady Hawkins", conuncncing» the New Year schedule with a sailing from Halifax on January 2 and iollowed by regular fortnightly sailings each month thereafter.

As s result of the alternate de- partures of these "Lady? \ ~ssels from Halifax 0n ‘both the " est- em and “Eastoi-n" routes. a weekly service will thus be established be- tween Halifax, Bbston and Ben- muda, from which point they DIO- coed in their respective directions. ‘Ts-idy" ships in the "Eastern" ser- vice to British Guiana ikrlninate their northbound voyage at saint John, while those in th¢ "Western" service to Jamaica arrive north- bound at Halifax. \

was having engine trouble of his own and had neither seen nor heard Wiley land.

Wllilfs suit was worth its weight in gold in the stratosphere, but it was not designed for hiking. By the time he had covered the distance between the Winnie Mae and the auto. Wiley was almost worn out. ‘Though he now was beside the on. the man still did not look up. Wiley toudhed him on the shoulder, and the man- jumped as though he had been shot.

The motorist evidently thought himself the only occupant of the desert, and when he saw that strange helmete’ figure, with eyes Peering at him through a four- inch glass porthole, he believed he- was seeing things.

He started to run, hesitated and looked back. He saw the Winnie Mae then, resting without landing gear on the old lake bed, and as he took in the situation, evidently con- cluded Wilcy was badly hurt.

He returned and Post finally managed to explain the imp-nee was part of his flying equimgnt; and not Dart of the aeroplane wrapped around his neck. In due time Wiley was out of his suit and dressed “Rain in street clothes.

His Muroc Lake helper lator ex- plancd he thought Post was a "man from Mars." '

Throughout my experience with the Post stratosphere flights over a period of many months. this was the only amusing incident. and Wiley alone was there to enjoy it. In his quirt way. he enjoyed it hugely.

The landing at Muroc Lake was the bcgnning of a series of disap- pointments which all had their genesis in sabotage prior to this flight, when someone put more than a pound of carbortuidum cut- UIIES i" m0 511105 external super- charger.

When Post cut in his super- charger at. about 30.000 feet, these cuttings and filings went immedi- ntclv into the Cflillblhsliilll chamber of tlic engine and it was only a matter of minutes until the engine itself was virtually n wreck.

Before continuing the story of the flights. it might be well to tell

how Wiley came to start his stratosphere experiments. Wllcys own words to me were

that everyone in the aviation in- dustry was talking about the possi- bilities of stratosphere flight, but that no one ever had done any- thing abotit it.

He had trained in his long hops around the world that he could at- tain higher speed intlie higher alti- tudes. However. there was a limit to all this with the equipment he was then flying. because his engine lost power rapidly us the altitude , increased.

The direct monthly s"rvicc between Canada. and the Antipodes will be continu°d throughout the winicr. establish- in; o. regular and depcudobld scr- vicc in both directions.

Speaking with regard to the Wcst Indies service. Captain Elzdford stated that both the passenger traf- fic and freight business between Canada and the Caribbwan colonies are holding up remarkably well. while cargoes in the Canada-Aus- tralia-New Zealnnd service bear evidence of the increasing trade between this Dominion and the An- tipodesn countries.

Winter Months Effect Maternal Deaths

Unfortunately, Canada is contin- uing to lose practically the same percentage of mothers for every 1,000 live births each year. and though here and there, in different communities and cities, a sustained reduction in these deaths may be recorded on the whole, taken by and large across the country, our progress has been neither subson- tlal nor s-ustaisied. .

Some of the Provincial Depart- mcnts of Health have been making most valuable studies in the causes and control of~ these deaths, and Manitoba, especially, has shown encouraging results in ve and maintained reduction over the lost five years.

However, the whole situation enn- not be described as satisfactory to those close to it. and the Do- minion Bureau of Statistics has made a special analysis for every year since the Dominion Registra- tion Area was established, to u. certain the exact causes of these deaths in each quarter of the year and any variations which would show either effective attack on the problem or the points where special effort should be directed.

Some curagemcnt can be drawn from tbs fact that these years ‘show a fairly definite lower’ mud in som, of the causes that do roast

DOTTID LINE HONEYMOON- The Guardian's new serial start-s next Thursday.

VISITING P. E. L-Ml‘. John R.‘ Walker, South Bentinck Street, is] spending s few weeks in Tyne val- | ley, Prince Edward Island, visiting his daughter, Mrs. William Ira Stewart and Mr. Stewrsrt-Sydney, Post Record. .

LITERARY MEETING-The 0a- tholic Poetry Society of Prince Ed- ward Island met on the evening of January 6th at the home of the Vice-President. Mrs. L. B. MacMii- lan, when Rev. Ray MscKenzic, of St. Dunstans University gave an- other of his interesting talks on Francis Thompson and his work. The Rev. speaker. who has made a special study of this poet, may be considered an authority on the sub- ject and his talk was most enlight- ening. Members who had missedl the Thompson evening last year. asked for another. Father Mac- ‘ Kenzie kindly consented to repeat the talk, and considerable new mo- terial was added. The speaker seems to have made this poet-so difficult to many readers - singularly hia- own. With him as inteipreter and reader one discovers new beauty in every stanza, Thompson's prose, too, especially his essay on Shelly. is only a. little less beautiful than his poetry. Father MacKenzie pointed out that a knowledge of the magi was necessary to an understanding of his poetry, and he told how in many ways thh strange, shy per- sonality had been, and continues to be misunderstood and misjudged. Knowing the tragedy of his life one feels the deep pathos in these lines from the Hound of Heaven; “Ah, must -— Designer Infinite _ Ah. must Thou char the wood cre Thou canst limnewith it!" This talk mer- its a more extended report but it ' was given without notes or manu- script, as many of the splendid talks are given to this group, and cannot bc reported verbatim. Con- siderable discussion-followed and a few favorite poems were read aloud. Later. the prose work submitted to this meeting was read aloud and commented on. The members were reminded to prepare lyrics for the February meeting to be hcld at the home of the President.
