FINE LOT OF PILOTS Major D. R. McLaren D.S.O. Well Pleased With Trans-Canada Filers WINNIPEG, Dec. 3: "After a thorough and careful Investigation! of the preliminary training work of our pilots, I am thoroughly convinced that the Trans-Canada Air Lines planes will be flown by a group of the best trained p'ilots In the business," declared Major D. R. MacLaren D.S.O., assistant to the vice president, Trans-Canada Air Lines, with headquarters In Montreal, who left for th east last night over Canadian National lines.

"Every one of them has a great sincerity of purpose and a common desire to become not only a creditable employee of the Trans-Canada Air Lines but also as nearly perfect a pilot as possible. The training has been proceeding under the watchful direction or H. T. Lewk, technical adviser of flying and W. A. Stralth. chief Instructor.

Both Mr. Lewis and Mr. Stralth are keen students of human nature they study the reaction of their pilots to the training methods and seem to anticipate what faults will develop. By so doing, they have designed a complete method of Instruction In which they teach the pilots to think quickly along the correct lines, rather than to become mechanical in their actions. This Is the basic keynote of our training. Instruction System "The Instructors have developed a most Interesting system of Indi vidual records and keep track of very manoeuvre they put the pilot through. Pilots are put through training to meet every possible contingency In take-offs and landings, stecp'turns, banking, single engine controli radio, flight planning, etc., and a record Is made of every re action to each manoeuvre in this ' Continued oa Page Two VOICE CALLS FOR PEACE I TODAY'S STOCKS i Count y s. ti J.iluvtioii Uu i Vancouver B.
