"In September of 1949, with the change of the Senior Scouts program to Explorers, Air Scouts became Air Explorers. At first, the only initial change was in the name, and in a lower of the age to 14. Later on, in 1953, there would be a change in the advancement program. In 1959, the Air Explorer program was unaffected by the change in the Explorer program becoming Exploring. It would be in October of 1965 that the Air Explorer program as it was know would come to an end, becoming nothing more then another career oriented program of Exploring to be known as Aviation Exploring. Later, the October deadline was extended to March 15, 1966. Air Explorer ProgramThe program of Air Explorers was identical to that of Air Scouts: a pre-flight aeronautics program for older boys inspired by the Air Force, much as the Sea Scout program was inspired by nautical traditions and the Navy."

"The object of the following pages is, to supply to the gold mining emigrant coming into Canada, as well as those already in this country, with the information necessary to enable them to conduct, with felicity and certainty, the researches and operations which are essentially necessary to a successful issue in gold mining, as well as that of other operations of a similar natureThis work is therefore expressly prepared, with its accompanying geological maps, as a manual for explorers, and is designed to supply a want now very generally felt, respecting the Madoc Gold discoveries, and the occurrence of other valuable minerals in that (comparatively) unexplored and extensive region of Laurentian rocks". (Preface) The author was a provincial land surveyor. White also discusses nickel, silver, tourmaline, cobalt, manganese and other minerals. The discovery in 1866 by a prospector of gold in Madoc township, Hastings County, led to a substantial but short-lived gold rush. The appended advertisements in this work offer lands for sale in the Madoc gold regions, mining tools from Belleville merchants, and one by White himself seeking partners with capital to develop mineral lands in Canada East and West.
