Jet Airliner To Cut *50
Hours Off London to
Tokyo Schedule
LONDON, —British Overseas
Airways opened its fourth and
longest jet airline route Friday as
a Comet took off from London
airport for Tokyo, half a world
away.
The flight, which began at 9
a.m. was scheduled to cover the
10,000-mile route in 36 hours—
50 hours less than other BOAC
Tokyo flights.
BOAC chairman Sir Miles Tho
mas said the opening of the
fourth route marked completion
of a program for use of the
series I model of the Comet. He
said the speedy transports al
ready are operating “with full
satisfaction and a great saving of
time” to Johannesburg, Ceylon
and Singapore.

NORTHWEST TERRITORIES,
CANADA—The 7-weeks Yale Lo
gan Expedition into the Logan
Mountain Range of the Northwest
Territories in Northern Canada,
said “to rival the Alps and Cas
cades in grandeur and mountain
climbing possibilities,” were de
scribed in a paper released here by
Dudley W. Bolyard, chairman. The
project undertook mountaineering
exploritory work and making pre
liminary geologic reconnaissance
in the region. The Yale Moun
taineering Club sponsored the pro
ject to explore the mountains in
the Selwyns Range which is locat
ed along the Yukon and the
Northwest Territories.
Mr. Bolyard stressed that the
problem of supplies was vital in
going into unknown territory, es
pecially for mountain climbers.
The Yale Logan Expedition was

sibie to take along only 800
pounds of equipment. This made it
vital that the food supply be high
ly “energy-giving” and the Yale
Logan Expedition solved this
problem in part by taking along
packages of Borden’s Condensed
None Such Mince Meat. Rich in
vitamins, minerals and energy
giving nutrients, this important
foodstuff virtually saved the expe
dition at several points.
Mr, Bolyard believes future ex
peditions should carry larger sup
plies of condensed foods ranking
high in minerals, vitamins and
energy-giving nutrients such as
None Such Mince Meat, and says
they will be an invaluable aid to
the mountaineer climbers that he
hopes in the future will flock to
the area. He thinks that Logan
Mountains well might become the
