Canada Seeks Mercy Flight Lessons From Australia
Canada aims to organize flying doctor services like Australia’s model. Ontario has 162 mercy flights since 1933, Saskatchewan started a flying ambulance, and Quebec trails in organization. Australia began in 1928 with 50 flights covering 20,000 miles and 255 patients at about 256 dollars each, now within 300 miles of any bush community.

Plans For Stronger Protection Of Crown Jewels
British authorities study the tomb damaged jewel house at the Tower of London with ultramodern safeguards to guard the Crown Jewels.
