Canada preps experimental air mail flights to cross Atlantic
Canada is ready for experimental flights as Britain’s massive flying boats prepare to jam the Atlantic this summer. Seaplane bases are underway at Gander Lake and Botwood, with landings possible at two points. The Hattie’s Camp airport on Gander Lake leads to a northern base likely serving as the Canadian terminus, with St Hubert near Montreal planned as the arrival airport on the St Lawrence. This marks the revival of an Empire trans Atlantic service dream 10 years in the making, recalling Montreal’s 1928 airport opening and past airship programs that influenced Canada’s airborne aims.

Generous Donations Boost Three Red Cross Funds
Canadian Red Cross raised over 450000 last year for the western drought fund Moose River rescue fund and American flood relief fund. National Commissioner Dr J L Biggar told the central council in Toronto. Dr D E Robertson’s Moose River mine rescue tale helped raise 11125.60 to cover hospital costs, an annuity for Mr and Mrs Scadding life, and other support. A golf ball killed 74000 fish at Glacier National Park hatchery by clogging the intake. Ticks can survive three years without food and eight months without water.
