AERIAL
MAPPING

One
of
the
biggest
jobs
being
done
by
the
peacetime
R.C.A.F.
is
the
aerial
photographing
of
Canada,
a
task
begun
by
the
Air
Force
in
1924
but
now
being
done
on
a
larger
scale
than
ever
belore.
This
year,
using
new
equipment
and
techniques,
the
R.CA.F.
hopes
to
cover
700,000
square
miles
of
the
Dominion
by
means
of
aortal
photos.
Shown
on
the
map
above
are
the
areas
to
be
photographed
by
the
nine
detachments
of
the
R.CA.F.'s
two
photographic
squadrons,
based
at
Rockcliffe
near
Ottawa",
and
operating
this
season
In
scattered
parts
of
the
country.
Ultimately,
ail
of
Canada
will
be
pho
tographed.
The
work
is
done
In
close
co-operation
with
the
Department
of
Mines
and
Resources
and
other
government
departments,
and
the
photographs
are
used
by
them
for
mapping
and
exploration
and
many
other
purposes,
including
agricultural,
mineral
and
timber
devel
opment.
The
work
is
an
Important
factor
in
pushing

frontiers
and
In

of
her
resources.

$2,000
A
patriotic
gesture
that
had
its
beginning
13
years
ago
when
a
small
group
of
far-sighted
local
men
banded
together
to
build
an

had
its
final
act
in

council
last
night
and
left
the
city
richer
by
$2,000.
Final
phase
of
the
gesture
came
when
city
council
accepted
the
$2,000
from
the
former
trustees
and
owners
of
the
building
at
the
Intersection
of
Sixth

and

which
had
been

MANCHESTER,

ffi
Five
were
ill
after
their
Sunday
din
ner
because
Oswald
make
the
gravy
It
started
back
in
1934,
when
a
group
of
citizen-soldiers
which
included
Col.
S.
D.
Johnston,
Col.
C.
V.
Evltt,
J.
T.
Harvey,
Alex
Mitchell
and
others
decided
that
the
city
should
have
an
armory
to
house
the
102nd
Battery
which
Col.
Johnston
commanded.
Unable
to
get
public
funds
for
the
purpose,
the
group
dug
Into
their
own
sayings
and
raised
enough
money
to
build
the
armory.
And
build
it,
they
actually
did.
Members
of
the
battery
worked
In
their
spare
time
for
a
year
before
the
structure
was
complete.
The
Jpb
was
done
wholly
by
volunteer
labor.
The
building
was
then
rented
to
the
Department
of
National
Defence
as
an
armory
on
the
basis
of
amortizing
the
construction
cost
over
a
10
-year
period.
However,
the
war
complicated
things.
In
1940,
when
the
military
at
Prince
Rupert
began
to
expand,
Col.
Johnston
obtained
at
a
nominal
sum
two
lots
adjoining
the
armory
which
were
used
for
barracks
huts.
Taxes
on
these
lots
In
the
last
seven
years
delayed
the
armortization
of
the
building
cost
but
it
was
completed
last
year.
With
the
building
paid
for,
the
owrjers
debated
on
whether
It
should
be
turned
over
to
the
city,
or
to
the
Department
of
National
Defence,
finally
settling
on
the
latter.
The
transfer
agreement
stipulated
that
the
money
paid
by
the
Defence
Department
should
go,
not
to
the
owners,
but
to
the
city.
"The
building
was
turned
over
to
the
government
as
a
patriotic
gesturet"
said
Col.
Johnston,
"and
we
decided
that
the
money
should
be
given
to
the
city
as
Smedley
compensation
for
what
it
lost
used
Insecticide
by
mistake
to
in
