Swanson, Head of Spie- cial Council Committee, Estimates Total Cost of the Work to City at Not More Than $40,000 -- Railway Would Bear Big Share of Expense END CROSSING MENACE Grant of $25,000 from Rail way Board Would Lower Outlay -- Growth of Osh- awa Demands Entry Into City's Most Favored Sec- tion Hundreds of names were added over the week-end to petitions in circulation urging the immediate construction of a subway under the C. N, R. tracks at Simcoe Street south, thereby opening up South Oshawa to its rightful share in the city's amazing growth, Following his return from Ottawa, Ald, D. A. J. Swanson, chairman of the special Council Committee in- vestigating the subway scheme, esti- mates that the probable total cost of the subway construction to the city will not exceed $40,000. This sum to include the city's share of the costs to be borne by the C. N, 'R,, which might run as low as $5,000, and the pavement of the subway street and laying of sidewalks, Mr, Swanson's figures are not of- fered with any view to anticipating reports by the city and railway en- gineers, but are based on changed conditions since the matter was up before, at which time the work could have heen put through for something under $30,000, it was then stated, The imperative value of the sub- way development was stressed by Mr. Swanson who points out that in (Continued on page 5) POPULAR STUDENT ILL IN HOSPITAL Maurice Hutchinson.

Saturday for Basra, at the head of the Persian Gulf, The distance between Angora and Basra by airline is approximately 1,050 miles and Lieut. Koennecke's estimate when he started was that he would make Messopotamian port the same evening, This was not thought over Sanguine in view time in which he made the first hop es he covered 1,875 miles from Col- ogne to Angora in something less than eighteen hours, Basra has radio communication with Great Britain and Germany and the fact that German airmen have not been reported has given rise to some uneasiness, ANOTHER HER "MESSAGE" FROM LOST FLIERS (By Associated Press) Norfolk, Va., Sept. 20.--A bot- tle, containing he message signed "Nungesser and Coli" and purporing to be a call for aid by two French airmen who were lost on their Paris New York flight, has been picked up by coast guard patrol man near Manteo, V.C.

"Canada is a land of vision," he said, "and if we cam only get a vision of her marvelous achieve- ments and possibilities, we can go ahead with assurance of even great- er success, "There are three things that we Canadians should get behind, and the first is "Canadian coal for Ca- nadian People." Canada has 17 per cent of the world's supply of coal, and everyone that he knew that had tried Alberta coal had found it satisfariory. And then, re- 'ty million newspapers garding coal from the Maritimes, we could create a much better feeling with the eastern provinces as well as getting good fuel value by pay- ing about $10 a ton for their soft coal and having if converted into coke in ovens in Montreal and To- ronto," the speaker poiuted out. Another important thing that Ca- nadians are falling down in is buy- ing goods produced in Canada. We | can hardly imagine the prosperity that would come to our country in five years if each one of us said, "Consistent with quality and price, I am going to buy goods produced in Canada." The third important question we should consider is this, "What are we reading in Canada?" Forty mil. Jion American magazines and twen- 2 come into Canada every year, filled with ad- vertisements that educate the pub- lic into buying American products instead of those produced in ZCan- ada. We should get behind the thought that we are going to read Canadian magazines, for them our children will not be reading litera- ture with the American viewpoint that lures them to the other side, - had some nf it in his possession at - it more fully, he had decided not to 90 PER GENT.

Swanson Has With- drawn Name from Crown At- torney Candidates Querried in regard to a rumor to the effect that he would not be a candidate for the crown attorneyship of Ontario county, vacant as the re- sult of the resignation of Col. J. F. Grierson which was handed to the attorney-general's department some time ago, D. A. J. Swanson, promin- ent Oshawa Alderman and lawyer, said he would not consider the ap- pointment. While several reasons «ere mentioned, Mr, Swanson stated the financial remuneration was not large enough to allow him to devote the time which he would have to should he take the position. The extent of his present practice is so large that it would make it practic- ally impossible for him to under- take the additional work. He stated, however, that there was a time when he would have considered the proposition, but upon delving into allow his name to stand, THEFT CHARGE FOR GRIP'S NON-RETURN Harry Graves, charged with the theft of a suitcase before M4igistrate Hind in police court this morning, elected trial by a higher court.

Oshawa Collegiate Starts Inter-School Field Meets Oshawa Collegiate Institute's inaug- wral inter-scholastic athletic contest of the season will be seen at Alexandra Park tomorrow afternoon at four o'- clock when Cobourg Collegiate Insti- tute will meet the local school in a track and field meet which will be of a comparatively short but extremely interesting character. Arrangements for the meet were started last Thurs- day and this morning everything was finally agreed upon so that although this is something altogether new in athletic meets, it should prove to be one of the most interesting and at- tractive events of the seasom's activi- ties at the Collegiate. Ten men from each Collegiate, the best in their events vhich the school can produce, will comprise both teams while the meet will consist of ten events, cach particularly selected for its attractiveness from a shectatir's These events are: 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, 880 yard (half mile) run, 440 yard four man relay, running high jump, running hop, step and jump, runping broad jump, pole vault, javelin throw and shot put (¥_ pounds). To' decide the winner, the point scoring system of three points for first, two for second and one for third, will prevail 'while in all likelihood two men from each school will enter each event. Cobourg and Oshawa have already wet in rugby and hockey and their athletes have been in the same open track and field meets together but this lwill be the first time in which the schools have met in an inter school meet such as this so that a great deal of interest is already being created as tc the probable result of the meet, to say mothing of the enthusiasm which is in evidence at the prospect hav- ing another cngagement with the , city to Standard time. in 'and their friends enjoyed the trip al [ the theatre performance.
