O. I. Larson, vice-president TransCanada Air Lines, yesterday announced that arrangements have been completed to provide for policies of a liberal character for rassengers travelling between any two points over the company's entire route and over any other air line in North America when passage is booked in a T.C.A. ticket office. Under the new plan, which It is anticipated will go Into effect May 15 next, the passenger may buy an insurance policy when he purchases his transportation ticket, the complete transaction being simple and convenient. T.C.A. passengers will be able to obtain coverage up to $20,000 at the rate of 25 cents for each $5,000 lor four hours flying time or any part thereof. For example, a passenger will pay a premium of 25 cents for $5,000 insurance covering a flight from .Montreal to Ottawa or Toronto while the premium on a flight from Halifax to Vancouver would be $1.50 for $5,000 or $6 for $20,000. The tariff of premiums has been prepared in such plain lorm that a ticket agent can scan the cost to the passenger In a glance and complete the transaction without any delay being caused by calculation. The policy is an inclusive one protecting the traveller from the moment he seats himself In a motor car under control of Trans-Canada Air Lines for passage from the starting point to the airport, during the flight, and until his arrival by motor car at the terminal point of his Journey. The Insurance covers stopovers, remaining in force during the. passenger's air travel until the termination of his trip within a limit of 30 days. . At present policies for passengers are limited to $5,000 and T.C.A. has become a pioneer In North America by providing such a liberal extension of air travel Insurance. The underwriting of the insurance for TransCanada Air Lines has been undertaken by Stewart Smith ( Canada) Limited, Canadian subsidiary of Stewart Smith and Co., London, England, incorporated Lloyds brokers and the leading managers and agents for syndicates at Lloyds. , NO LIQUOR LINE NOW Permits Run Out at Local Store Spirits, Wine and Beer Being Sold For the first time In weeks there was no line-up today at the government liquor store in Prince Rupert.
