London, Nov. 8. The Air Ministry and the General Post Office announce that discussions have been taking place between the Governments concerned for some time, past the editor. "I'm about the future of the air service afraid we cannot contradict any between England and South thing we have already published.

The teacher of a Sunday School class was explaining the story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal: how Elijah built the altar, put wood upon it, and cut the bullock in pleces and laid them on the "altar.

"And then," said the teacher, "he commanded the people to four barrels with water and pour It over the altar, and they did this four times Now, can anyone tell why all this water was poured over the bullock on the altar?"

"Please, sir, to make the gravy," came a prompt reply from one small istener.

"I have called to see why your daughter hasn't attended school lately," said the school attendance officer as he stood at the cottage door.

"Cause I think she's learnt enough," retorted the child's

mother.

"Why" exclaimed the visitor, "she's only passed through two classes,"

"Well, ain't that enough?” asked the woman. "I dunno what eddi-

cation is comin' to. When I was young, if a gal understood the ele- ments of distraction, privision or replenishin, an' the common do- minator, an' knew all the rivers and their obituaries, the pi winces and the umpires, she was reckon ed to have eddication enough to see her through."

The vicar dropped in for a chat with an old villager in his garden. "Well, George, that's a wonderful garden you have there," he re- marked.

Yes, parson proudly.

"And what a wonderful vegetable garden, too!"

"Yes, parson." "You must thank the Almighty

for that."

"Parson, did you ever see this piece of ground when the Almighty had it all to Himself?"

G.C.V.O. FOR DUKE OF BUCCLEUCH

of

|

The present intention is that the main through service, twice a week in each direction, shall be operated by flying-boats via Egypt and the Sudan to Kisumu, and thence

vis Mombasa, Dar-es- Balaam, Mosambique," Beirs, and Lourenco Marques to Durban. The Portuguese Government has con- curred in the operation of this route in 50 far as concerns Portuguese Territory. The bonus are designed for top speed which is expected to be in the neighbourhood of 190 miles an hour and for a cruising speed of about 150 miles an hour. As a result it is hoped that the time occupied in transit: between Lan- don and Durban will be reduced to four daya

By means of branch services the existing internal landplane route through Kenya, Tanganyika,, and Northern Rhodesta and Southern Rhodesia will be. maintained in addition to the new projected ying-boat route down the coast which will be followed by the main service.

It is contemplated that the agreement with Imperial Airways, Limited. for the operation of this and other trunk Empire services, which is now in process of nego- tiation, shall be for a period of years beginning in 1937, and that the subsidy payable shall be on a descending scale subject to a periodic review of costs.

mean that a person will be able to travel from this country to Durban and back in little more

than a week.

It was stated last night that the postal charges when the new ́ser- vice is put into operation will be

1d for each hair-ounce, instead

of the present flat rate for mail carried by air of 3d a half ounce to Egypt and Sudan and 6d. be- yond Sudan to South Africa. The new scheme was described BLS being in some ways probably the biggest revolution in mail com munication since the introduction of the penny post.
