CHAIN OF AIRPORTS
CANADIAN PLAN WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED MONTREAL, Oct. 13. A chain of airfields from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts is the latest project of the Dominion Government for the relief of unemployment, particularly of single men. Under the Department of National Defence camps are to be established in various centres. The workmen arc to be housed on the spot. The project provides for the construction of landing-fields on throe big stretches at present devoid of facilities for aviators—between Montreal, Halifax (Nova Scotia), and,’ Ottawa; Toronto to Winnipeg; and Lethbridge to Vancouver. When this job .is concluded the Dominion will have a chain of landing-fields linking the whole breadth of Canada. The Government’s scheme will help to solve the problem of the unemployed single man, since preference is invariably given ;in the cities to the family man in providing employment by public works. It should also to some extent help to moot the situation created by the ban placed on free freight train rides, the abolition of which has resulted in leaving numbers of harvesters stranded.
