Then Well Row Row Row Docking seaplane tests Pilot s muscle Power by Egon Thech one in 9series free press staff writer Egon Freeh who recently completed a private Pilot s course at the Winnipeg flying club now is obtain ing 3 floatplane endorse ment for his Pilot s licence i at St. Cloud flying ser i vice. This is the second of i a series of articles on his experiences on floats do you like asked Eldon Watson my instructor at St. Cloud flying service. If you do. You la really like i liked boats 1 told him. 1 i did t mention that i d never driven anything bigger than a i Large Rowboat with an outboard i motor attached. J now i was faced with Docking a seaplane As Large As a Pabin Cruiser and a Good Deal More fragile without the Aid of i a reverse gear to slow me Down As i approached the Dock. Or. Watson coached me in. Throttle right Back he said. Good now pull out the Carburettor heat Knob and switch to the right Magneto to slow Down the engine As much As the engine put putted along at 400 to 500 revolutions a minute but the slower we went the More difficult it was to sleep. Cut engine Okay said or. Walson. Now you have in Cut the engine just at the right time so that you la coast in to the Dock but you Don t hit it too that seemed logical enough. There was a crumpled look about the right Pontoon on the plane obviously caused by someone who had t Cut the engine soon enough. But cutting the engine too soon seemed almost As dangerous since there were other planes parked at the Dock and if we did t quite make it the current could quite easily carry us into one of them before we could restart. Finally on or. Watson s Cue i shut off the engine and with much pushing on the rudder pedals got the plane alongside the Dock. Not too bad. I decided. It would improve with practice. But there was More to learn. Or. Walson showed me How it i was possible by extending the j flaps and opening the doors to catch the wind to actually sail the plane around without Power. With a Strong wind it is sometimes dangerous to at i tempi a turn with Power for fear of capsizing and the sailing method is often the safest Way of getting around. It can also be used for backing up 1 found there was a reverse gear after All. Glassy water then came the Glassy water landings. As Long As there Are Ripples on the water it s not too difficult to judge when the plane should be rounded out for Landing. But when the weather is absolutely Calm especially on a Lake where the Shore line is some distance away it s almost impossible to judge one s height above the water. People flying into Remote lakes have been known to throw out their life preservers and other tilings just to get some indication of where the surface of the water or. Watson said. But obviously you Don t want to do that every time so if you re not quite sure you can come in with Power on. Descend ing very slowly and with the nose High in a sort of slow flight attitude and just sit there and wait for uie. Plane to touch Down. Then As soon As you feel the tails of the floats touch the water slut off the Power and pull the control column Back All the that was another tiling about lot of Mullins Back on that into the cockpit. Or. Walson explained thai a Gas Drain cock had come slightly open causing the engine to stall when it was throttled right Back. As we taxied Back to the Dock i wondered what i should record in my Pilot s log Book. I did t recall any column head ing just smiled or. Walson. General Jacob Maydanyuk ukrainian artist honoured by Michael Harris More than 150 people attended a Surprise party in Honor of Jacob Maydanyuk 78, a j ukrainian Canadian cartoonist and Painter As Well As the moving Don t it get you Down. Our classified Section Solvati every headache from storage to vans to real and for the Lett laugh nod Tom to t Ark in our Emolt my tit my Back. Break Hazard 1 it s a wonder it does t i told or. Watson. He assured me it was checked i regularly. The next Day. I of the aircraft broken i obviously some student with j More muscle than i. We had just completed a Landing and j chopped the Power when i noticed the propeller was t turning any More. The engine had mysteriously stopped. We i tried to re Start but it was no go and i found out something else Why every float equipped a Long Way Back to the Dock and upstream so we decided to i head for the Shore. J while i paddled or. Watson1 fiddled with the engine. I was t making much headway. Suddenly the engine roared to life. With a sigh of Relief. I stowed the paddle and climbed Back the first ukrainian cartoons in Canada including a Cort Puuing series about a character called Uncle Steve tabs Nick. He began the cartoons while a student at the ukrainian ruthenian school in Brandon Man. He reportedly based the charac Ter on a Man living in the Brandon area and for several weeks kept out of the Way of the real or. Tabashnik who was ready to beat up the artist. Or. Maydanyuk came to Canada in 1911. The tabs Nick cartoons have been printed in a single volume which also contains Short stories. He has also written a Book called Mangrola immigrant and is planning to write another Book. Moving outdoors i Toronto up Toronto Board of control has received 12 applications for permission to hold Street dances and concerts and to open sidewalk cafes this summer. By Fred Hamilton Toronto up a Man sentenced to two years less a Day in an Ontario reformatory often will serve four months longer than a Man sentenced on the same offence to two years in Federal Penitentiary. If he escapes from Reforma tory is recaptured and sent to Penitentiary to serve an additional six months he still May get out sooner than he would have if he had stayed in the reformatory As a Model Pris Oner under the Shorter sen tence. And it is possible that the Model prisoner will leave reformatory untrained to take a Job unemployed facing a family problem or As a Homo sexual with new hostilities to Ward society that will almost inevitably Send him Back to jail within a Short period. Those Are the results of in equities in the Law that should come to an end once Amend ments to the Federal criminal code have been proclaimed Law enabling the provinces to bring reformatory systems into the Century. Under a Bill passed by the Ontario legislature More than a year ago but delayed until criminal code amendments Are final prisoners May earn absence from reformatory to work study or attend to fam ily affairs and provincial a r o 1 e opportunities will he made equal to those in Federal j penitentiaries. The provincial legislation cannot be enacted until Perti nent sections of an. Omnibus Bill that rewrites the criminal code become Law. They have received Royal assent but have not yet been proclaimed. Once proclamation comes action on the Ontario Bill will be Only by the need to put in motion the administrative machinery that has been waiting for months. Intent of the provincial legislation is to assist in rehabilitation of prisoners by prevent ing family breakups remove the unnatural circumstance of sexless years which is the major cause of increasing homosexuality in penal institutions enable prisoners to work or study in the Community and to equalize the parole available in Federal and provincial institutions. It has the secondary Pur poses of keeping some families off Public welfare and saving taxpayers the costs of keeping a Man in jail longer than need be tinder conditions he finds unjust and inhumane. Allan Grossman 59-year-old Toronto insurance broker who has been Ontario s minister of correctional services since 1963, is so intent on bringing a new spirit of humanity to provincial reformatories that he has not waited for Federal legislation giving him Permis Sion to enact some of the changes proposed in the provincial Bill. The legislation permits or. Grossman to establish pro Grams in which prisoners can participate in vocational or educational training in the selected prisoners already Are attend ing academic classes in High schools and vocational courses in Community col Leges. Life in reformatory also has already been made More agreeable by changes in the manner in which prisoners May earn Money. In the past prisoners pre paring for release were Given gratuities of up to if a r o 1 e officers recommended special needs they also were Given extra Cash tools for a skilled Trade or transportation allowances to a place of employment. But the system was often criticized As discriminatory since some persons got More assistance than others. In changes enacted this year All prisoners can earn an incentive allowance based on conduct and work per savings to be returned on release and part spending Money for reformatory canteens. When or. Grossman first introduced the legislation in june 1968, he warned that most of the privileges it provided would have to be earned and the government would proceed with a great Deal of caution with some changes since they break new the provincial legislation will permit prisoners to earn a work release to live i the reformatory at night and work in the Community by Day. Selected prisoners May be granted temporary absence from reformatory for unlimited periods for medical Rea sons. Similar leaves of absence May be granted for rehabilitation for periods up to 15 Days and the periods can follow one another so that in special circumstances an offender May serve none of his sentence be Hind bars. Grounds for granting rehabilitation leave include Hii m a n i t Arian considerations such As family illness or funerals Job interviews with prospective employers or any urgent matter that requires the prisoner s personal Atten Tion. Where it is deemed advis Able prisoners can be permit Ted to continue their employ ment in the Community visit a business during crucial periods or attend a family har Vest. Or. Grossman told the legislature in 1968 that the legis lation will reduce the possibility of family breakup due to prolonged absence and Lack of a state ment he later described More bluntly As protecting the fam ily by permitting marital Intercourse where the Lack of sexual satisfaction threatens to disrupt either family Unity or the mental health of the prisoner. None of the privileges will he extended except when it appears that a prisoner is Likely to Benefit from and can be trusted to participate in a pro Gram that does not endanger the Public safety. Or. Grossman in 1968 de Bates agreed with Robert Nixon Leader of the Ontario Liberal party that the Legisla Tion is a breakthrough in solving the special and unnatural problems faced by in mates lacking Normal Circum stances of family where sex is deemed to be a humanitarian reason he said it will be possible to meet the problem in a More dignified fashion than in such jurisdictions As Mexico where conjugal visits Are permitted in prisons. All inmates granted leaves of absence will be under varying degrees of supervise inequalities in parole sys tems for Federal prisons and provincial reformatories have been a cause of hostility and trouble in Ontario or. Gross Man said. In the past prisoners were granted a statutory sentence remission of one Quarter of their sentence plus three flays each month earned Tor Good conduct. There has been no statutory remission from provincial reformatory sentences but prisoners have been Able to earn Good conduct remissions not exceeding five Days a month. Under the new legislation the sentence remissions will be the same. Inmates will not feel cheated out of remission time be cause they were sentenced to or. Gross Man said. It is More difficult to rehabilitate persons whose hostilities to society Are in creased by inconsistencies in the the number of escapes from reformatories should be reduced or. Grossman said because Many escapes now Are staged simply to get a Transfer to a Federal Penitenti Ary. If the inmate serving two years less a Day escapes and subsequently receives an additional six months in Penitentiary he now actually serves less time than he would have served had he not escaped and remained in a provincial the Hope of a reduced sen tence he said should be an incentive to Good conduct contribute to successful rehabilitation and ease the Cost to the taxpayers of maintain ing inmates in prison longer than Ottawa cp1 party House leaders met monday night but reported no Progress in talks on the deadlocked com Mons rules debate which goes into its ninth Day today.
