Gir May Start Ho Today : Dr. James Kimball, Weather Bureau Meteorologist, Sounds Death Knell Against Trans-Atlantic Fly- ing Year -- Miss Elder Expect to Take Off for Paris at 2 o'Clock (By Canadian New York, N.Y, Oct. 1--Dr. James Kimball, Weather Bureau Meteorolo- gist, today sounded an unofficial knell of further trans-Atlantic flying this year, just as Miss Ruth Elder and . George W. Haldeman were making final preparations to take off for France in monoplane American Girl. | "I wouldn't want to say" he told the Associated Press, "that there won't be any good flying weather in October, but chances are against it, right now at 'atmospheric conditions are so much worse than very worst experienced by any of the past season's fliers that there no comparison. I don't know what Miss Elder may decide to do but I am printing on weather may today that conditions are decidedly unfav- orable. ; As Dr. Kimball was making this re- port word came from Curtisfield that Miss Elder and Haledman were mov- ing the American Girl from its hangar to the Roosevelt Field runaway from which Lindbergh, Chamberlain, and Byrd took off for Europe. They said the last of the fueling and provisions was to be began immediately and that if they considered conditions favorable at two o'clock they would hop off at that time. Southwest winds favored the take off from the mound on which the Old Glory perched so long before the disappearing of the west wind and going to old orchard for its take off.

AUGUST WEATHER ABNORMALLY GOLD Montreal 2.5 Degrees Below Average--Sunshine Five Per Cent Lacking 30.--The month of August was 2.5 degress colder than narmal in the city of Montreal, there being five' per cent less sun- shine than the normal amount, ac- cording to the Meterological Bulle- tin issued hy the Provincial Secre- tary's Department, While it had less sunshine and the weather was colder, Montreal enjoyed the second highest average temperature of the entire Province for the month being surpassed only by Les Cedres, which had an aver- age temperature of 66 degrees, That of Montreal was 64.08.

Delays, moreover, occur during the peak hours of daily traffic when south Oshawa" residents are hurrying home to their lunches. Street cars were held up at the rate of 11 each day, which could easily mean over 500 passengers subjected to 'an enforced halt of vary- ng lengths of time. A feature of the report is that the danger element of the crossing is in- creasiing. Free from serious accidents enly to the vigilance of CN.R. em- ployees and to benign Providence. Boys on bicycles ride around the lowered gates and in front of trains just in the act of moving off; pedes- trians in general ignore the gates; ev- en mothers with baby carriages take chances. It is only a question of time until the crossings record will be stained with blood, observers believe, Widely signed petitions go before the City Council Monday evening as witnesses of public support in their cfforts to replace the Simcoe south level crossing with a subway. Facts presented are weighty enough, it is believed, to warrant the Council's most carnest efforts. In addition, South Oshawa, protest- ng its isolauon from the city's gen- eral progress since annexation, asks that the subway be built as a measure of development which is certain to re- sult in increased population of home- owning citizens, and other benefits which would repay the cost of sub- way construction many times over, MOTORIST IS KILLED Ira King of Codrington near Peter- boro was killed last evening about 7.30 o'clock, when his car upset in a ditch on the Brighton-Campbelliord High- way. Police state that marks on the road show that the car swayed con- siderably before it entered the deep ditch. Police claim to have found a number of bottles at the scene, and be- Sieve that King was under the influence of liquor. An inquest has been order- cd, MEN'S ALL WOOL WIND. BREAKERS Special ....
