PRINCE’S FLYING ACTIVITIES
PUBLIC CONCERN London, November 22. Recent aviation accidents are causing concern among many people regarding the Prince of Wales s flying activities, and a feeling prevails that the heir to the throne should not take such risks. It is officially explained that rumours that the Prince of Wales has flown much or secretly alone is quite unfounded. He has no pilot’s license, and the fact that the pilot gives the Prince’s ’plane almost a daily airing probably led people to believe that the Prince of Wales was aboard. When he does fly he does so openly, and though he is efficient to handle the controls he has no intention of taking out a pilot’s license. MOTOR CRASHES INTO TRAIN FIVE PASSENGERS KILLED Washington, November 22. A Dallas message states that his vision being obscured by a heavy snowfall, the first of the season in Texas, a negro chauffeur drove his motor-car into the side of a fast-moving train, killing five white women passengers in his car, and seriously injuring himself.
