Educational Studies The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date: August 1994 Abstract Throughout the first half of this century controversy surrounded the division of governance between provincial and local authorities. In a general sense this thesis examines the centralizing forces of equality of opportunity promoted by the provincial government versus the forces of decentralization found in the principle of local autonomy. Specifically this thesis examines the reasons why the school districts in die central interior of British Columbia, around Prince George, were consolidated with little or no opposition in 1946 following the recommendations of the Cameron Report. This thesis is a case study of the region approximately in the center of the province that was to become School District No.

Jarnick As early as 1938 Britain recognized a need for aircraft to meet the challenges of the future. American industrialists were eager to fill this demand, but peacetime rules prevented the planes from being flown to England. They were flown to North Dakota, transported across the border, disassembled and then carried by rail to Montreal where they loaded on ships bound fpr England and reassembled there. This was a complicated, time—consuming process. Winston Churchill charged Lord Beaverbrook to find a better solution. That solution was a covert operation flying the planes from Canada across the North Atlantic (a risky undertaking at that time) using highly— skilled, highly—paid American civilian pilots. The original Atlantic Ferry Organization (ATFERO) became the RAF Ferry Command on July 20, 1941. The crews flew from Dorval, — - Quebec, refueled at Gander, Newfoundland, and then to Prestwick, England, selecting the route they deemed best for the current weather conditions. The usual round—trip from Dorval to Prestwick took about fourteen days. The Mont Royal Hotel in Montreal became the unoffiôial head quarters for the airmen. After the United States entered the war following Pearl Harbor, the RAF began training their pilots for this duty. During the ex istence of the Ferry Command it was commanded by Chief Air Mar shal Sir Frederick Bowhill who [also] became the first commander of the successor command [entitled] Transport Command, when it [Cont’d.] CHAIRMAN: HENK BURGERS, 8 LUCIA COURT, SS#l, NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE, ON LOS hO ([email protected]) EDITOR/TREASURER: DEAN MARIO, P.O.
