Gives Flights To 20,000
INDIAN PILOT'S
MISSION
Treats For
S. Africans
One of India's most noted alrmen, Mr. Man Mohan Singh, technical adviser- in aviation.to His Highness the Maharajah of Patiala, has just returned to India with his two colleagues, Mr. Dalal and Mr. Pochakhana- wala, after a lengthy visit to South Africa, where free flights were given to some 20,000 people.
Mr. Man Mohan Singh, who is a first cousin of Mr. S. Chowdhury, of the Hongkong Government Wireless School, visited Johannesburg, Durban, East London, Grahamstown, Ulten hare, Port Elizabeth, Capetown, Vic- toria West and Kimberley. Among those who were taken up was a lady of 92 years of age who took her first flight when Mr. Singh went to Kim- berley. The party then proceeled to Pretoria to give more. free flights there. Then they visited Dar Salaam and Mombassa before goipie to Nairobi,
creating beTTER FEELING
"My visit is to create a better feeling between the people of the Union (Africa) and the people of India, and to assist in making young people air-minded", he said.
Be explained that his visit to the. Union was really the tall-end of two attempts to break the record from England to the Caps, both of which had been dogged by bad luck. His mishaps inelaled a forced landing and n broken plane, after which he bought another machine in the Belgian Congo and decided to come on to the Cape in order to carry out a campaign for making children air-minded.
MAN MOHAN SINGH
Mr. Pochakhanawala in an inter- view stated that they experienced. many difficulties in flying over Africa which were not encountered else-
whero. There were great difficulties In getting forecasts from meteorolo gical departments, and there was a great shortage of forced landing grounds. Miles of forests had to be traversed where landing would do quite impossible and there were other sections where there were miles of awamps.
In East London the Mayor ́and City Councillors gave a tea party in honour of the three Indian airmen The Mayor (Mr. Bruce Bays) on be half of the townspeople expressed gratitude to Mr. Man Mohan Singh
devoting so much of his time to inculcating a love of flying into South African school children, European as well an Indians. In re ply all the three aviators made sprechos.
In Cape Peninsula Mr. G. R. Ca meron Dow said “All my children were most generously treated by Mr. Singh and he and his fellow airmen have many heartfelt thanks. It is little gestures Ruch as these that bring home most forcibly the truly fraternal spirit of the Common- wealth of Nations comprising the British Empire."

Is there any reason to think that country would we be- not attempt to do it agala como an independent sovereign state?" He also warned of the pos- sible ambitions of Asiatic and other countries.
The senator thought that mino tenths of the people of Canada knew very little of the British North America Act and of where they stood in relation to Great Britain. Dy international law, Great Britain has complete sovereign power over the Dominion,
power that had never been relinquished. (To ex plained that he was not speaking of The sovereign legislative power:) Statur

For some years the London Public Medical Service has pro-contrary to present terms of the vided a general practitioner attendance and supply of medicine only for the dependents of insured people whose income did not exceed £250 a year.
The success of the service is revealed by the fact that already it has more than 80,000 subscribers, and a thousand doctors.
The plea has often been-reasonably-made that the black- coated worker and his family should have an opportunity of insuring against the possibility of medical expenses, and, if Lon- don doctors accept the new proposals, this demand will be brought a step nearer realisation.
THREE CLASSES OF INCOME
A large number of doctors, I understand, favour the scheme which sets out the suggested subscriptions according to three classes of (family) income:
Between £250 and £375 (Class 1). Between £375 und £475 (Class 2).
Between £475 and £550 (Cinas 3).
The fees are payable quarterly, Examples are as follows:
In Class 1, a man with three in family would be charged £3 10%, a year.
In Class 2; a man with four in family would pay £4 108., whereas in Class 3.a man with the same number of dependents. would pay £5.
Subscribers are entitled to attendance as often as necessary, either at the doctor's surgery or at home, to the usual medicines, and, at their own request, to an annual medical "overhaul."
