MALTBY 7 YEARS SAME LOCATION ‘The Eglinton Hunt Club used to be a favorite resort of Toronto so- ciety, and the kind: of place where a village editor would hardly ex- pect to find himself. Inside tlL» main building is a ‘big arena, large enough for a game of polo and ideal now, since the seats have been taken out, as an indoor drill ground. ‘There are class-rooms where dance floors used to be, for the studenlsl at the Initial Training School are already studying a Stltff course of higher mathematics, armament, sig- nals, sanitation and' navigation. It is easy to see why matriculation standing or better is a necessity for ever aspiring pilot. When the land and buildings’ were purchased, there were questions in Parliament and suggestions that they had been bought to help out an organization which- was about to pass out of existence. I don"t know anything about the truth or other- wise, but the people who built the I looked over the layâ€"out admir- ingly. Even- though it had been toned down to make it useful rath- er than beautiful, signs of its for- mer magnificence were apparent. Flying Officer Nicol usedl to be another working newspaper man. “I wouldn’t know,” he said. “My dues in the Hunt Club weren’t kept up very well.” “This must have been a swamk'; place in the old days,” I suggested. My guide was right, as usual. If I had missed the Number One Ini- tial Training School, I would; never have realized just how thorough is the early testing of the young men who are destined-t0 become fight- ing pilots and observers. (hurrying o'n Sir Frederick’s W'pn'k It is generally known that when ‘Sir Frederick Banting died in a plane crash in Newfoundland, he was on his way to England to carry on his scientific work for the Air Force. His death (lid not stop that work. It "neg-an at the Banting In- stitute at the University of Toron- to, and since last November, it has been continued in the buildings which formerly belonged to the Egl’inton Hunt Clulb in North To- romto. Flying Officer Nicol thought that would- be a mistake. In his opim- ion, the Initial Training Sch-001 was the most interesting place of them all. It was customary to take dis- tinguished American visitors up to 1Eggjinlton just to let them look a- round and see for themselves that there were certain things in' Canada which Uncle Sam’s Air Force didn’t have. Walter Liprpmarm, the col- umnist, had been there just a few days earlier. I said I hadn’t thought of it: my desire was to get on to the camps where there was actual flying just as quickly as possible. “Were you planning to visit the Initial Training School at Eglin- ton?” asked Flying Officer Nicol, our guide iwhose duty for the time being was to get us past the senp tries} and the barrier gates and ex- plain what the Royal Canadian Air Force was doing.

To prove this, the air: craxftm-en are given simple little problems to do â€"â€" to change a sentj ence into a common code, or some; thin-g of the kind. Like a car driv~ er with a few drinks, who thinks he can drive as well as ever, they don’t know they are making mis- takes. As the air is exhausted, the margin of error rises. There is no particular sensation felt by the person) inside the tank, but above 10,000 feet, or two miles. the nails turn a bluish tinge, which is also apparent in the lips.

Dr. Stewart opened) a door and we entered a circular room, lined with burlap. Seats for ten persons ran around the sides and) in the centre was a talble with a chair where the doctor sat. A few are abnormal. Suddenly the black line takes a jump to one side. An aircraftman with a record like that may take a fit; up in the air some day. He wonft {be rejected on that one test alone, but the chances are that the time and exâ€" pense of training him would be wasted, so when he shows other symptoms as well, he is finished as a. pilot. This patient was normal. The wavy lines had no sudden variations. His electroencephalogram showed that he had passed one more test. Dow Pressure amd Oxygen In the next room, a large cylinâ€" drical structure stood! in the centre of the room. It looked like the bot- tom of a silo. The outside was: ‘re- inrforoed with Sit-eel andI planking and large metal‘ pipes raw aTOund) it. A porthole of heavy glass: was: built on one side andi there was a desk with a microphone near the win- dow. Out in the next room, the‘ Flight Lieutenant touched a S'Wiltch. A broadl ribbon of white paper began to creep over a talble. On it were four wavy lines, drawn by pens acâ€" tuated 'by the wires from the head of the man whom I ' could see through the window, lying peace- fully on the 'bed. The young air-craftman» was tuld to enter a small room and lie quiet- ly on a bed. The wires were at- tached to binding posts: on the wall. He was told that he wasnft 'to thinl' of anything exciting, such as an ev- ening with his best girl, but to try to come as near as possilble to think- ing about nothing at all. As we started down the hall, we met a young man whose appear- ance was startlin-g.‘ He looked as though he had just come from the hands of an electrician. Five long wires hung down from his head. Two of them seemmi to be soldered to the top of his head, in ameng his hair, two more were attached to the back of his neck and one hung from his left ear. Little patches of hair had been shaved! off and the wires attached at important points. Dr. Stewart explained) that the two in: front were over the part of the brain controlling muscular covordin- ation and the two on the neck in~ dicated the place where the optic nerves entered the brain. The one on the ear was just a ground wire. By using a complicated electrical machine, it was possible to measurci the brain waves of the man‘ who now looked] like something that had wandered out of a cartoon comedy. Testing Brain Waves After a brief call at the office of Squadron Leader McPherson, off- icer in command at No. 1, I.T.S., I went to the office of Flight Lieu- tenant ‘C. B. Stewart. This brilliant young doctor, a grad‘u-ate of Dal- housie University in the Maritimes, is carrying on Dr. Banting’sr work, but he took time off to guide me personally through the building where the aircraftmen are tested. mentally and physically, to see whether they will be able to stand the strain of flying and‘ fighting five miles above the earth. old Hunat Clulb never dreamed‘ of the scientific wonders it would! one day contain. .

We did\ not stay long. As we came out again thrbugh the various cham- Ibers, even zero temperature felt warm. A Negro minister was caught hugging one of the sisters of his flock, and a church inquiry was. called. Witnesses testified, and the minister confessed, but defended his actions as proper. When the inquiry was finish-ed a brother offered a resolution: In the third refrigerator room. there was a metal chamber, some what like a large concrete miXer, coatedl outside with: an asbestos compound. My guidle unscrewed: a circular door like a big porthole and the two of us climlbed inside. There was only room for two at a time there, and a cold) artificial wind blew continually. Dr. Stewart point- ed1 to a thermometer, which regis- tered 43 degrees below zero, a temâ€" perature encounteredl four or ve miles above the earth. It is‘ possâ€" ilble to exhaust the air from th1< chlamlber also. He maintained that as pastor of the flock ‘he had} a perfect right to take one of his lambs in his arms. The Flight Lieutenant Opened a door similar to those on; large re- frigerators and we entered a cold chamber. The temperature there was said to be 20 above zero, but we didnl’t stay long, going on into a. seconrl and a third, through large insulated doors each time. The second refrigerator chamber was kept about zero and1 the third' at 20 below.
