FLYING BISHOP'S ARCTIC TOUR
2,000-MILES TO VISIT RED INDIAN CLERGY
Calgary, Alberta, Oct. 10. A "FLYING bishop," who drops
out of the skles beside lonely settlements in the Far North of Canada, has just told one of the most remarkable diocesan tours ever made.

THE mightiest fleet of commercial aircraft the world has seen has just been laid down in Britain. By 1937 it will be in the air-operat- ing 23,000 miles of Empire air routes, running the fastest, most frequent long-distance air services in the history of air transport.
Imperial Airways have announced their first order for now equipment to meet the Government's big. Empire air speed-up plans that are to start in 1937. Under those plans they must have ready by that date an air fleet big and fast enough to carry all the British fast-class mail by the air at a cruising speed of at least 150 m.p.h. on day and night services.

Dr. Gaddes has made the journey of 3,000 miles to Calgary to attend the annual meeting of bishops and other clergy of the Church of England in Canada.
This flying bishop, what has made the expression "sky pilot" come true, is a tail, genial man of athletic build, and is the young- est bishop in Canada.
Describing his fascinating journey, he said: "Although the Yukon is about four times the size of England, there are only 4,000 white people and 2,000 Red Indians living in it.
