A humorous note to an inspection of the Woodbourne Aerodrome was eiven when Mr. Semple tallied to two men engaged in folding a parachute in one e.f the rooms (records the “Express"). He was keenly interested in the worlc. and one of the men inquired if he would like to go up and try a’ parachute out. offering to take him up in a plane if Mr. Semple would jump. The Minister lost no time in refusing, commenting that, it was not often he I had his bluff called, but this was certainly one occasion.
