An odd shade tree" effect in Yarmouth, N.S. 



emergency landing" ground should a 

 machine have engine trouble in the 

 air. The D.H. 9a aeroplane is essen- 

 tially a war product and while not 

 altogether suited to the work in hand 

 should provide the Air Board and the 

 Department of the Interior with suf- 

 ficient data with which to plan more 

 extensive operations next year. Sim- 

 ilar Operations have been planned in 

 British Columbia- l)ut since British 

 Columbia is essentially a seaphuic 

 country a different type of machine 

 will be used. Tlic work of cstabHsh- 

 ing a base at Vancouver has ah-eady 

 commenced. The i)atrol in tliis in- 

 stance will proceed in an easterly 

 direction from the base, covering the 

 Dominion Forest Belt as far north as 



Kamloops and in a north-easterly 

 direction up the Straits of Georgia 

 covering the westerly coast of British 

 Columbia, in which locality there are 

 some of the most valuable stands of 

 timber in Canada. This area, of course, 

 belongs to the Provincial Government 

 in combination with which these oper- 

 ations are to be carried out. The ma- 

 chines to be used on this patrol will be 

 the 504 K Type Avro on floats, 130 

 Clerget engine, H.S. 2L. Flying Boat, 

 Liberty engine, and l"". 3 Flying Boat. 

 Rolls Royce engine. It is expected 

 that in conjunction with the work 

 of forest tire patrol other corelated 

 work can be accomplished, such as 

 hydrographic survey. photographic 

 survey, tishery protection patrol, etc.
