This is great news to a company badly pressed as is ours for additional flight equipment. We all know how inadequate our 25 Lodestars and 14-08's, with their limited seat and cargo capacity, have been to cope with the rising demand for air transportation in this country. Until now, however, wartime conditions of scarcity have made the obvious remedy impossible. |

They don't look like veterans, those two in the centre; but they are. By the standards of TCA, a young but powerful company whose early members did a great job in a very little time. 'Geb' Dempsey and Jack Goddard accordingly smoothed down their long white hair and beamed for the photographer as they were presented with their Service Pins up in Toronto's Central Reservation Control Office. They joined a rapidly growing band of those who are entitled to wear the little white and gold circle in their lapels. 'Geb' Dempsey (second from left) started off with the Traffic Department in Montreal, moving later to Windsor and Victoria. He was Traffic Representative in Toronto's Royal York Office. Jack Goddard (third from left) started at Malton Airport as a Passenger Agent, and was Space Control Agent-in-Charge at Central Control. Wally Courtney, as Toronto's District Traffic Manager, stands beside Geb and Dave Paul, C.C's Space Control Supervisor, beside Jack. They, too, are five-year men. |

The fenders are a bright red, the body grey with Trans-Canada Air Lines painted on both sides and it was, without a doubt, the talk of the town. All kidding aside, it sure was appreciated and a great help to the station. by Jack Johns |
