Sy PRANK FLAHERTY Cinidlin Pren Staff Wrlttr OTTAWA, Feb. 3 (Ci.-Canada's transcontinental airway li ripldly naarlng the stage where malls may be whisked from the AUantlc to the Pacific ln leu than 24 hours. Tht transcanada air line hu been a cherished dream of avlaton en- thuiasts for yeara and quiet but persistent work on the part ot the civil avlaUon branch ot the national defence department ln the put two or three years is now in evidence all {across Canada. I As the whole rqute ls now surveyed and the ground work of providing landing fields weU advanced I bit of Intensive effort could place the airway in operaUon in the space ot a few monthi Perhaps the event which will give the project its final push will be the opening of a trans- Atlantic air service, now set down for 1936 or 1937. When the airway ls completed it will string emergency landing fields at Intervals of 23 or 30 miles. Larger fields with hangars and equipment for servicing and refuelling will be located at a few key points. The whole coune will be equipped with radio and meteorological service! for aircraft and all except the mountain section will be lighted it night. It ii expected flying through the mountain! will be done ln diyllght From Vincouver to HiUfix the airline distance along the protected route is 3108 milu. On s westward hop an airplane could leave Montreal at eight or nine pin. and arrive in Vancouver at noon the following day on the basis ot present normal flying speeds. The return trip could be made by luving Vancouver at one p.m. and arriving in Montreal in time for morning mail deliveries the following day. The hop from Montreal to Halifax of 680 mllu would require about four houn more. The distance between the two coasta could be spanned easily in less than 24 houn flying Ume. Work ii now being pushed on three sections of the lirwiy, the mountain lection, the Ontario section md the Quebec and Maritime lection. The prairie tection wu completed in 1929 and 1930 and wu in actual UN while tir mail lervices wen maintained acrou the province! of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. It hu not been uied for the past two or three yean.

Thli northern route wai choien beciuse of better cllmitlc conditions previlllng back from tht Great Lakei and because' lt WU euler to find suitable landing sites. The Mitern md of the route pisses through the clay belt. By avoiding the rocky territory along the northern ihorei of the lake) It wis easier to build the air- Way in straight line sectlonl to conform to beam wireless courses. In Northtrn Ontario 14 sites hive now been developed to the point where landing is possible. They are not yet open to the public however ■nd hive not been marked on maps Iuued to pilots. Work Is progressing under the unemployment relief plin on 21 other sites md six more htvt ytt to be icqulred. From Cochrane tht lint swings louth to Emidale, Ont, where it splits into two branchu, one going to Toronto md the other to Mon- tnal.

Rotary Host to Mayor, Council Guests Speak of Civic Center Project Mayor J. P. Morgan md members of the Nelson city council were guests of the Rotary club at ill noon luncheon In the Hume hotel silver room Monday, and iU ipoke briefly. Aldermm N. C. Stibbs was unable to attend. A letter wu received from the London, Eng., Rotary club stating that J. F. Campbell, Nelwn Rotarian, had viiited with them and had left an autographed booklet ol "Kootenay md the City ot Nelton," md a similar letter wu alto received from the Southtmpton club. M. E. Harper announced the attendance of the club was up for January, and every effort would be made to continue the improvement during February. In Introducing his aldermen, Mayor Morgan praised them for the manner in which they had given of their time md efforts on behalf of the city. Commenting on the auditorium project, he said that the cost wu greater than expected, but that was due, mainly, to the fact that a better building was put up thm was plmned at the beginning. The wisdom of this move would prove beneficial later on in lower insurance costs, lower upkeep and so en. He uked the Rotary club to take the ume lnterut in the clvlo centre that it had in the past and thanked them for the part they had taken at the official opening of the rink. As the city had returned all but one of Uie council, that member having not found it convenient to stand, lt must be in accord with the council, obierved Aldermm Roy Sharp, chilrmin of tht finance committee. Last year the civic center wis only a possibility md this yur it was nttring realization. From the portion ot Uie centre that was completed, there were greater returns than had been expected, md ho hoped that as the remainder was completed, returns from it would be correspondingly larger. Alderman H. B. Lindsay, chairman of the fire, wtttr md light committee, declared that lut year wu the greatut in the hiitory of Nelton from a financial point of view, and he hoped that the pruent yeir would be even better. He believed some changes were needed In lhe light rates and intended bringing some action to bear on that matter. Aldermm T. H. Waten, who wu introduced u the alderman who had given more Ume to the city than any other ont ln lti hiitory, believed thtt the publicity given was worth the price expended on the civic centre. He had had requests from eastern publictUont for information and pictures ibout the centre. Although the centre htd cott more than wu anticipated, the value was there, and the extra cost did not ariie through mistakes, but through a deiire to build more soundly. Also the value of Uie centre In making for a community spirit could not be estimated. Alderman AUck Ritchie, chairman pf the itreet railwiy commltttt, promiied every effort to mike the railwiy pty. Aldermm T. W. Slader, who Mayor Morgan itated mtde the street railway piy better than in previoui years, observed that the council had to do something lait year ai the local business men had jeopardized their standings in many cases by giving too much credit md tht civic centre project hid tervtd to alleviate the difficulties In some measure. President R. W. Dawson said the Rotary club wu highly lymptthttlc to tht council md even though much criticiim hid been levelled it thtm, tht mtmbtn realised thtt criticism would bt forthcoming no mitter whit the venture might be. The community iplrlt the civic centre wu foitering could not ba ovtr- looked, md lti vtlue In thtt rupect wu worth tht additional cost. Tht club, ht concluded, wu gltd to have the mtyor tnd council preient. City Clerk W. E. Wiuon uld he OTTAWA, Fab. a (CP)-Under the far-reaching provisions of the Marketing act, the Dominion hat power to control practically every small busineu ln the country, paying no attention to provincial boundaries or local condition!, it wu contended before the supreme court today by '• A- Humphries, deputy attorney-general for Ontario. The Ontario official joined Aime Oeoffrine, reprteenting Quebec, ln a general onsliught on all important clauses of the Marketing act, claiming lt wu unconstitutional. Earlier ln the day, the court reserved judgment on validity of the Unemployment Iniurance act anu turned to the marketing legislation. It left only one of the eight laws Involved in the constitutional reference, tha Farmen' Credlton Arrangement act, to be reviewed, Louii Saint-Laurent attempted to justify the Marketing act on itvtral constitutional points. He argued that parliament hid exclusive Jurisdiction over trade and commerce, He that the Marketing act involved a new policy Of licenced combinu with the object pt enhancing prlcu for producen, The essence of each marketing icheme, he iaid, was to bring about a combine so producers could ba paid more money. Mr. Saint-Laurent argued that it parliament could make one policy, It could legislate the other, • The Ontario deputy attorney general submitted parliament'! power to regultte trade md commerce did not extend to regulating individual industries. The power was general, not particular. "This act," Mr. Humphries said, "meins complete control over par tlcular businesses and trade within a province."

NAVIES OF THE THREE GREAT POWERS With Japan deserting the London Naval Conference, deciding that she has the right to build a navy as big as that of Britain or the United States, it is interesting to note the comparative strength of these three Powers at the present time. Taking no account of ships under construction or planned, it is as follows: BRITAIN- N< Capital ihlpi 1* Aircraft cirriers .' Cruliert (A) - — Crullers (B) — Dettroyert - Submirines Totals -I* UNITED STATES— Capital ships Aircraft cirriers Cruisers (A) _„ Cruisers (B) Destroyers - _.

What is certain is that Japan's last budget included a tremendous sum for naval construction. THE POST WITHOUT THE NAME "What's in a name?" Evidently Soviet Russia thinks there is some untoward influence in certain titles, for example: The word signifying "general" is officially taboo, although a military hierarchy gradually is being established. To the ears of authority "general" contains an inward menace to proletarian safety. In contrast to the rejection of the title in Russia, Haiti is of .all places in the world, the one in which the title of general flourishes. Summed up by a statistician who js interested in the subject we have the following account: " 'Haiti it governed by generals in ill sires. The general li to ubiquitous thit it leads you to doubt whether it miy not be poulble thit, whUe to be a general li no compliment, not to be one is In Uie niture of • slap In Uie face.' He declared that he had been ible to find no exict statistics liter thin 1867, but thit there were then in Haiti, 6500 generali of division, 7000 regimental officen, and 6500 privates.'' Probably the Soviet has rejected the name while retaining the office because there is an ultra martial tang to the sound. In any case, Russian will have none of it despite the fact that the army there has been enormously increased in the past few years. Evidently to the present day Russian authorities, some names are overcrowded with significance! MINERS'STRIKE AVERTED The British miners, regarded as perhaps the most dogmatic section, of trades unionism, have accepted a compromise offer by the operators in the latest wage dispute that has arisen. There will be no strikes as threatened. The miners sought an increase in wages of two shillings a shift for men and one shilling for boys and a national agreement affecting wages. The operators in reply presented figures to show inability to meet the miners' demands in full and continue to carry on the industry. Three of the principal coalfields in the country are now being operated at a loss. The compromise agreement reached involves an increase in the miners' wages averaging a little less than one shilling a shift. The executive of the miners has accepted the settlement with the proviso that it is an "acceptance on account." It, however, averts a strike and indicates conciliation and moderation in the matter of the demands made. It would have been unfortunate, indeed, if the new King's reign had opened with anything in the nature of a domestic upheaval. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I cried oot to the pilot: 'Five poons If ye put me safely doon!' Fortunately he dldna hear me." • • • MUSIC IN THE AIR As I start this column, one ot the boys, while waiting for an inspiration on a news itory, is softly whittling "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyei." I have listened to the tune several Umes and I wonder where I heard it lut. No. I have it I heard it last at the Klmberley bonspiel. It was in a hotel room. The boyi on Uie 11 o'clock draw had just meandered ln and were warming up. Bob Eckleston ls sitting on the bea pitying his accordion. Can he play iti Jim Ewan parades down the corridor and enters the room with hit bag pipes skirling "Cock o' the North" oi the "Road to the Isles." Frank Strachan of Trail, just otf the ice and still in beret and sweater of the famed Somerville rink, rushes hr with his violin. Then the fun is on. They play and sing and sing and play. The audience gets bigger and bigger. The room is too small. It almost bulges—but Uie music goes on. Everyone in the vicinity is like Beethoven—he had heard muiic and was tempted to enter. The music goes on. Then comes a halt. Someone suggests a song and they pick their men. Here's the crowd: Bob Eckleston, George James, Jim Pearson and a couple of the Hogg boys, first names have slipped my memory. After a few warming-up chords they are away. They sing in unison and in part "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes." It is a muterplece with solo parts, etc. The conductor, a Nelson curler, is a maestro. He gets everything out of the song that is possible. He bawls this one out and then another. They have perfect harmony. They have trouble with George James' bass. He comes in with a deep "pomp, pomp, pomp." They sing on and on. I left after a time thinking that aft.r all there is talent among curlers. I will not forget the little concert, neither wlU a lot of the visitors. No wonder they have musical festivals and cups galore around Kimberley. • • • MORE NAMES RECALLED And while on the matter ot music, if you can caU bagpipes muiic. I should pass compliments to Angus Scott who wu here and there when the curlers were a little down and needed a little Scotch music to pep them up. And before I forget about the bonspiel for another year I muit recall meeting George Janes in Uie Kimberley hotel. Gtorge il an old 54th and 2nd G.M.R. man and knowi a lot of West Kootenay people. Then there wu Duke Hyslop, a wrestler or boxer—but Itill a genial toul—and an au revoir to Joe Stella ln the SuUivan. Thank you, Joe. • • • FINE 8WIMMING WEATHER Over in Trail they have a year- round swimmer, I refer to William Gopp', the bridge diver—but this year he has some rivals in Nelson. Several skaters had the opportunity of trying out Kootenay Like on February 2 when they unwillingly took their first dip of the season. I hear Tommy Bishop descended into the depths up to his neck and that Herb Young and Ian Dingwall were close seconds. Boys will be boys— and you know that old story—you can't forever skate on thin ice without hiving a break down. • • • THERE WAS ANOTHER j The magistrate glowered at the 1 man in the witness box. "You say 1 this man robbed you?" he uid, heavily. "Can you pick out any of your property from this heap of articles found on the prisoner?" "Yes, that'i my handkerchief with 'B' in the corner," said the witness. "But that is no proof, my man," snapped the magistrate. "I have a handkerchief with 'B' in the corner." "Well, I'm not surprised, I lost two handkerchiefs." retorted the witness. PARENTS WHO ARE NERVOUS HARD ON CHILD, SAYS MYERS Bv GARRY C. MYERS. PH. D.
