CHURCH USES PLANE.
MINISTER BUYS MOTH.
WIDE AUSTRALIAN PARISH. A. and N.Z. SYDNEY. Dec. iO. The Anglican Church is pressing the aeroplane into service to overcome the difficulties of travel which clergymen experience in the outback districts. Mr. Daniels, vicar of Wilcannia, whose district covers about 40,000 square miles, imported a de. Havilland Moth machine, which cost £BOO. from England, with which he intends to do visitation work in his wide district, thereby avoiding the present long, slow, dangerous and timewasting journeys by buggy and car. Mr. Daniels held a commission in the Royal Air Force during the war.
