CANADIAN PACIFIC
TO USE AIR SERVICE
Applies for Charter for Commercial

MONTREAL, Que, May 10.--Prepared-
ness is the Canadian-Pacific's motto.
1t was evidenced III statement
given out yesterday by Grant Hall, vice
president, explanatory of the company S
application for an air charter remarking
that the world IS approaching new
epoch III air transport He said the great
difficulty in commercial aviation was the
provision of suitable landing spaces The
western prairies of Canada, however he
found ideally adapted to the conditions
laid down by General Seeiy as vital, name
~ in wide spaces with almost complete
absence of the airmans real enemy mist
and fog and wind. There If anywhere
commercial air transport could be made
profitable
Many costly features about commercial
| service by airplane, Mr. Hall thought
would initiate against any hope of very
low rates, particularly the landing places
which should be provided 10 to Is miles
apart In the case of alrships cost o.
sheds was a considerable item-one foi
new British dirigible costing s2,000,000
1 The future of commercial air trans
portation, he said, is bound up will

dent that with their engineering and oper
ating resources the Canadian Pacific rail
way could enter the field with them a
/ the opportune time.

DRIVE WILL EXCEED
HALF A MILLION
Brattleboro's Victory Loan Subscrip-
tions Already S4S1, $50 and More
Known to Be Coming.

A 24-hour increase of so, $50 today
brought Brattleboro's subscriptions to
the Victory Liberty loan up to s4Sl, $50
with indications of a much larger amount

night, after a three-weeks' campaign.
With today's subscriptions to be added
besides $4,000 or more to be credited to
Brattleboro from other sources the total
for this town will exceed S500,000.
Subscriptions came in slowly during the
first two weeks of the drive, but as had
been the case in the four previous loans
they gained momentum as the time drew
near for the closing date and the tabula-
tions of today showed an oversubscrip
ton of 500, $50 with l,l07 subscribers.
Reports are still coming in from other
towns in the county and the final tsbula
tions are expected to show large amount
above the quota for the county.
Townshend is well over the top. Not
only did the town have its quota of $40,
$50 subscribed before the end of the sec
ond week of the drive, but the applica
ton cards have since been pouring il
until they now number ll0, with Sl3,55i
ssubscribed. OF this amount 81 $50 came
| from West Townshend. Much credit il
due the workers who so enthusiasticall.

unsightly spots not having as much of
an accumulation as in former years,
which shows that more atteption has
been paid by property owners to the ap-
pearance of their property.
The board of trade committee asks
the assistance and cooperation of all or.
ganizations of the town and the general
public in Transforming the now insight
~ places into places of beauty, and Scout
Commissioner H. 2. White has pledged
the assistance of his organization. The
Farm Bureau will cooperate to the ex
tent of its ability, as will the florists, il
giving advice as to the kinds of shrubs
or plants suited to transform holes
fences, etc, into real beauty spots.
Persons knowing of places which neet
attention are asked to notify the board
of trade. and the committee, which con
sists of Glenham Jones, ID. f. Tasker anI
