5. Usefulness of the Service to Various Government Departments: 



In view of the fact that the Provincial Air Service has now been in operation 

 for ten years, and in that time has established a good record for safety, it does 

 not hesitate to draw to the attention of other Departments in the Government 

 the possibility that they would find in the Ontario Provincial Air Service a 

 swift, safe and economical mode of travel. Through the enterprise and support 

 of the Forestry Department, the Ontario Provincial Air Service has come into 

 existence and has been maintained as an efficient fire fighting organization. 

 Since the Forestry Department has found the Air Service worthy of support 

 for the past ten years, it would not seem too early to recommend its travel 

 facilities to other Departments in our Provincial Government. 



A wider use of its own Air Service by the Department officials of our 

 Government would be an economical measure for all concerned. The reason 

 supporting this opinion arises from the fact that every additional hour flown 

 above the requirement of the Forestry Department has a beneficial influence 

 in reducing the hourly cost of operation for all Departments using the facilities 

 of the Provincial Air Service. 



In addition to this, it is considered that the Ontario Provincial Air Service 

 is able to offer transportation to its Government at an out-of-pocket expense 

 very considerably below any rate which a commercial operator can afford to 

 quote. 



III.— REFORESTATION 

 St. Williams 



During the fall of 1932 seed beds were put in, white and Norway spruce 

 and all deciduous species were lifted and heeled in, and, following the zero 

 weather of December 9th, operations were carried on in connection with 

 fire line extension, improvement cuttings, and winter protection of seed-beds.
