! tude Of their observations and the
value Of the air service may be
CLEANED from the following rec
ords. The patrol that covers the
country west of Revelstoke in the
Canadian Rockies-including Van
eouver Island = embracing the
Fraser and Lower Thompson Val
leys as well as the Shuswap Lake
region, spent 433A hours in the
air last summer and few $4,000
miles, using four HIS 81 Flying
Boats and one F3 Twin Engine
Boat. By means of these craft it
is possible to travel swiftly grea'
distances and over sections inac-
cessible to the fire ranger who
must depend on his canoe and own
sturdy legs to cover his beat.
Air patrols make reconnaisances
of the country over which they fly,
Which are OF inestimaDle value.
