maximum during the months which yield the most flying. It might also be 

 sound logic to carry the assumption still further, and say that the district which 

 offers the greatest number of hours flying during the normal hazard can be 

 considered as suffering the greatest hazard.

Winter Flying Operations: 



During the winter of 1931-1932, there were approximately 310 hours 

 performed in sundry inspection and transportation duties at five different 

 stations. Most of the flying hours were used in provisioning and keeping contact 

 with outlying posts where rangers were stationed all winter. At Kenora and 

 at Algonquin Park stations, however, the flying time was used in the inspection 

 and control of the game preserves under the jurisdiction of the District Forester. 

 The twenty-seven odd hours used at Port Arthur, mostly in the month of April, 

 were transport operations in the movement of structural steel for the erection 

 of ranger towers in remote locations in the Port Arthur District. 



Not all of the winter flying done is for the Forestry Department, since an 

 important duty of the transport section in winter is to replenish remote gas 

 caches that cannot be economically supplied by ground transport. The reason 

 for our own air transport being more economical under special circumstances, 

 is that the amount of gas placed in remote caches is not sufficient to warrant 

 the making and breaking of winter trails into the remote though strategic loca- 

 tions. The placing of such small caches is a very important factor in the swift 

 and successful concentration of men and fighting equipment when ingoing
