TRAINING OF PILOTS
"MATERIAL BENEFIT"
NEW SCHEME ENDORSED
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
INVERCARGILL, This Day,
"The Government's proposals with reference to the training of pilots by aero clubs as announced by the Minister of Defence are the result of negotiations which have been conducted by the Minister and his officers with the New .[ Zealand Aero Club," said Mr. H. J. Macalister, president of the New Zealand Aero Club, in commenting last night on the. Minister's announcement. "These proposals represent a substantial departure from the scheme which previously existed, and should be of material benefit in enabling clubs to turn out skilled pilots. They have been accepted by all the constituent clubs of the New Zealand Aero Club, and the Government can rely on the keen co-operation of all clubs in putting the proposals • into effective operation. One matter has not yet been definitely settled, namely, the question of financial assistance to clubs to enable them to purchase the aircraft required. This matter, however, will be the subject of further discussions with the Minister, and I have no. doubt that a satisfactory solution ■will be reached."
