Sam Saulman of the Prince George Hotel, excelled himself in the preparation and supervision of a civic banquet, offered by Mayor Garvin Dezell. The menu included shrimp cocktail, chef's salad bowl with 1,000-island dressing, fried spring chicken, asparagus and new potatoes. The blue and gold souvenir-menu for the banquet, prepared by Citizen Publishers and Primers, contained the message:— "Prince George City Council joins with business groups and residents of the North in extending congratulations and best wishes to the management of the Canadian Pacific Air Lines in for-geing another air link between this city and key communities in the central and southern sections of British Columbia." In a welcoming speech, In which he lauded the initiative of the CPA in establishing the new service. Mayor Garvin Dezell called on each gwst by name and introduced them to the gathering. HIGH COMMISSIONER In addition to the Acting Mayor '>f Vancouver and CPA president Grant McConachie. the guests Included: A. Roberts, llii_rii Commissioner for South Africa in Canada.

After the luncheon. Mr. Dezell made a welcoming speech and Grant McConachie made a suitable response. The banquet, unfortunately, had to be hastened as the guests were a little late in arriving and it was necessary for the return flight to reach and take off from Kamloops before dark. Mayor Garvin Dezell, Charles Albins, Hilliard Clair and Harry Gregson were guests of the CPA n the return flight. •eagtam Thi Seaqram $ ,w^ Sure ] i, is not Polished or displayed by nfroi Board or by rhe Government of British Columbia. C. P. A. 'Continued From Page 1) navigation, the plane arrived dead over Kamloops airport within one hour and 50 minutes of leaving Vancouver. He explained that he did this check to confirm previous tests that Kamloops could be reached in all weathers without, if necessary. even seeing the ground after take off. Coffee and biscuits were served in the air between Vancouver and Kamloops by charming stewardess Miss S. Kibler. NEW COUNTRY A passenger writes:— Between Kamloops and Williams Lake the plane flies over country which few people have so far scon from the air. The route lies for a large part of the way between two ranges of foothills with the South Thompson River at times conspicuous. This country is dotted with lakes, still i frozen at this time of the year. J and with jackpine ;uul windfalls. ! Here we are on the Interior plateau, the high mountains bo- j Ing left behind at Kamloops. The DC3, wasting no time, j lided straight into Williams ¦ 1 Lake airport, without circling. A ! ' number of officials. Including E. H. Robbins, Village Clerk, j I were on hand to greet the plane, i It seems that one is hardly j aloft after leaving Williams Lake | before it is time to land again at j Quesnel. The view on this sector j Is very impressive and farmlands i and ranch houses evidence that ! the dry belt between Kamloops and Williams Lake has been left behind. QUESNEL A lot of work has been done| on Quesnel airport and in addi- j tion to the wide and clean land- j ing strip, a further area where j planes can taxi in and be refuelled with plenty of space to spare, seems to have been newly bulldozed. A few minutes flying in perfect weather from Quesnel brought us to Prince George, which has the finest airport of any city between Vancouver and the North and, some say. a finer airport Uian even Vancouver itself. Sandwiches were served on the latter part of the trip. TIME-SAVER The new service enables the intending traveller to Kamloops to accomplish in t\Vo hours a journey which would take many hours by road. Williams Lake is brought within one hour's flying time of Prince George. The flight between Kamloops and Prince George is of far greater interest to those who like to study the countryside than that from Vancouver to Kamloops, as, in the absence of high mountains, the plane can fly all the way at 2.000 to 3.000 feet when weather conditions are suitable. The plane left Prince George again around I o'clock for the first return trip. "LOCAL BOY" "Local Boy Makes Good" could almost be the heading of the story of Grant McConachie, president of Canadian Pacific Airlines. Tiiough his main stamping grounds have been in and around Edmonton* Grant has logged so many hours flying in and out of Prince George all through the "thirties" that he could easily be classed as a local boy. In the early days when Grant flew around here with his Fokker on floats or skis, if there was a dance in townv one could be quite certain to see him and his plane come i out of the evening sky from ' Fort St. James. Takla Lake' or some out of the wayLpJace, to take in the evening's event. From 1933 to 1941, Grant flew through here with his Yukon Southern Air Transport, first with Fokkers, then the Berkley-Grau, the first twin engine out of Prince George. He then graduated to Lockheed W, a Lodestar and a D.C.3. Grant McConachie said that the air - mindedness of Prince George citizens had been a main factor in justifying the new service.

Police said that accused was stopped on the return trip and asked if ho had a permit to travel over the load. They maintained that accused should have obtained the permit before leaving, the city. Mr. Hallett imposed the minimum fine possible under the Act.
