Some townsfolk in Lynn Lake and the Pas say they fear loss of business and unemployment. However r. D. Turner presi Dent of trans air said thursday notwithstanding the mess in i Northern Manitoba we think we can make do but Only at great in convenience to the Public Anri i the disruption of Long Esta o j listed air trans air operates daily flights j except sundays to Points on the j Northern air route carrying about passengers a month on the main line flight. No action in a july 31 letter to the department of transport the Resi Dent administrator of the Lynn Lake local government District g. J. Forsyth wrote our situation and requirements have been brought to the attention of your department repeatedly Over the past several months but no Posi Tive action has been taken. If your department wishes us to continue to operate the Airport Here we will do so but we must have immediately sufficient equipment and buildings to store same during the Winter months and a guarantee of sufficient funds. This Community is financially unable to Supply these items. I might add that an immedi ate decision is necessary so that proper preparations can be made j As Winter usually sets in Here around the end of september or very Early in Here is what the main carriers on the route say is happening at Northern airports the Pas Airport was closed to any aircraft larger than a dc-3 last month. The department of transport imposed this restriction on two Days notice because of the rapid deterioration of the runways at the Airport. At Thompson the depart ment has just recently called for tenders to hard surface the run ways at the Airport. Until this work is finished discounts and dc-4s cannot be used there. Lynn Lake Airport faces the Prospect of closing. Flin flon Airport is not equipped with effective Snow Clearing units to maintain the runways to Viscount standards in Winter so Landing discounts there in Winter conditions is not feasible unless the proper equip ment is obtained. At Dauphin the same situation applies. There is a Lack of Snow Clearing equipment sufficient for Viscount standards. In any event because the Pas is barred to discounts fuelling conditions have made it in practice j Able to land discounts at Dau Phin now. Referring to these conditions As or. Turner said since the economic feasibility of using the Viscount is dependent on traffic potential and these i routes being entirely available for the purpose it will be seen that continued operation of the Viscount is in jeopardy. The complication of closing part of the Airport at the Pas Means that we will shortly have to use surface transportation be tween flin flon and the Pas. In other words if one wants to go to the Pas from Winnipeg or Dauphin we will have to Fly to flin flon in a Viscount and then take the passengers Back to the Pas by car. Thompson runway Ottawa staff a 000 runway is to be built at Thompson Airport by the Federal department of transport. Tenders for the project have been called by the department and Are to be submitted not later than aug. 30. Purpose of the construction Job department spokesmen say is to provide a suitable Landing strip for Viscount aircraft operated by trans air the main commercial airline using the Airport. The department states the pre sent gravel Landing strip needs to be widened lengthened re shaped Given drainage and Pav ing to accommodate the vis counts. The department s estimate of the Over All Cost of the project is approximately All of this Cost is to be met by the department officials say. Thompson Airport is not oper ated by the department of trans port. The Only other alternative is for them to wait for three hours at the flin flon Airport for the dc-3 shuttle service we have had to operate Between fun flon and Thompson. We think they would rather travel by freeze up or. Turner would be Able said trans air to continue its october ending tomorrow chill october temperatures and Cloudy skies which arrived Here yesterday will Likely have left the Winnipeg area by tomorrow. Sunny sides and 80-degree heat Are forecast. ? he thermometer plunged to a wet and shivery 54 last night. Almost an Inch of rain fell on the City during intermittent storms. The Low predicted for to night is 50. At noon today the temperature stood at 38 degrees. Winds were North at 15 Miles an hour and the humidity 80 per cent. Thief in the night while guests in five rooms at the charterhouse hotel York Avenue and Hargrave Street slept soundly thursday night someone tiptoed into their rooms and stole More than in Cash. Police said the thieves entered the rooms through the doors and stole and southbound service from Chur chill to the Pas and that this situation would ease because the freeze up would make runways Safe for Landing discounts at the Pas during the whiter. It is going to be terribly awk Ward to maintain the Northern Manitoba services and it is going to Cost us a lot More Money but we will get it he said. Or. Turner said the bar threatens to put the Pas virtually right off the air map which is regrettable because in the past it has always been the Centre of air transportation in Northern Manitoba. It is easy to visualize that out of this whole Messy situation new centres May emerge As hubs of air transportation in Northern in the meantime the mayor and councillors and the chamber of Commerce at the Pas have written to the department transport expressing concern. Distressed mayor h. L. Trager told the transport minister the town of the Pas is considerably distressed Over conditions at our air port controlled by your depart ment. These conditions have led to the cancellation of proper com Mercial airline services to the Pas and also resulted in loss of business and employment to some establishments and individuals. It is our understanding that a major repair program is Nec Essary and that authority for this work must come from your of fice. We respectfully request your immediate attention to this prob Lem and confirmation that the status of the local Airport As a major air terminal in Northern Manitoba will be replaced with out any further How to fight ballot not Bullet Indian weapon by Bill Morriss Gene Rheaume conservative member of Parb Ament for the Northwest territories thursday told Canada indians that Al though they had stopped fighting the White Man there was another kind of gun you can use to get what you speaking to the National in Dian Council gathered in Confer ence at the Assiniboia Indian residential school or.

He stressed the need for some form of press organization whereby something written by the indians for them instead of about could be distributed. The Indian newspapers would pay a fee to become members of the press organization and would Send in copies of news stories from their own areas to the Central office. Such a service said or.
