John
Bisson
miraculously
escaped
injury
when
the
plane
he
was
piloting
side
slipped
and
plunged
a
total
loss
into
Lake
Savory.
The
young
pilot
took
off
at
Smithers
with
but
12
gallons
of
gas,
the
plane
being
unable
to
carry
a
greater
load.
All
went
well
until
his
gas
grew
threateningly
low
and
he
was
forced
to
land
on
the
tiny
Lake
Savory,
adjoining
McDonald
Lake.
After
refilling,
he
attempted
to
take
off
but,
as
the
lake
was
too
srrall,
he
was
unable
to
get
en-j
ough
altitude.
In
order
to
miss
the
trees
on
the
shore
line,
he
made
a
sharp
bank.
The
plane
then
struck
an
air
current
and
side-slipped
into
the
lake,
land-
ding
upside
down.
The
pilot
was
fortunately,
able
to
get
out
of
the
cab,
and
swam
ashore.

p'ane
was
totally
destroyed..
The
machine
had

In

During

was
the
minister's'
comment
on
monetary
reform.
He
called
it
a
"hoary"
fallacy
to
suppose
that
governments
could
pay
no
interest
or
issue
debt
free
money.
Regarding
World
economics
as
they
might
affect
Canada,
Mr.
Dunning
expressed
hope
that
the
depression
In
the
United
Stales
was
now
scraping
the
bottom
and
that
remedial
measures
would
bs
successful.
Total
revenues
for
the
year
were
greater
than
last
year
by
$62,536,000
and
$55,835,000
higher
than
1928-29,
the
previous
record
year.
Taxation,
mostly
sales,
and
customs
duties
furnished
$448,652.-
000.
Taxation
Changes
Few
The
budget
removes
sales
tax
from
major
building
materials
and
otherwise
broadens
exemptions.
..There
is
no
change
in
customs
tariff
or
in
excise
tax.
Nor
is
there
any
change
In
individual
or
corpor-
ate
incomes.
