her call came to rest. Even Mary

Mrs. Morrow-Tait and her nav
igator crashed Nov. 21 on the
Alaska Highway about 230 miles
southeast of Fairbanks, Alaska.
They left England ^uig. 18.
Townsend was brought to Ed
monton with Mrs. Morrow-Tait
when his foot became infected in
Fairbanks where the two flyers re
turned after the crash.
“My biggest problem is obtain
ing finances, not securing parts
for my plane,” the pretty aviatrix
said.
Mrs. Morrow-Tait said on arriv
al Saturday she would take a job
offered her in an Anchorage,
Alaska, night club to raise enough
to continue the flight.
“I have to make as much money
as possible as quickly as poss:ble
so the extremely high wages in
Alaska naturally interest me,” she
said yesterday.
It was reported earlier that
Townsend would fly to Toronto to
arrange for the parts but the plans
were cancelled and he now will
return to his studies at Oxford
University.
