PAGE FOURTEEN WORK NOW BEING RUSHED ON AIRPORT FOR BIG PAGEANT Hope to Have St. Hubert Field Ready by Octo- ber 5 MANY FEATURES Landing Fields and Moor- 7 ing Mast Soon to be Ready Montreal --Considerable construc- tion and improvement work is now hurriedly being concluded at the St. Hubert Airport for the First Canad- ian Air Pageant to be held on Oc- tober 5 and 6, when more than 100 planes from all parts of Canada and the United States will compete in air derbys, speed races and fancy diving, Adams, engineer in charge of the airport of the Federal Government Public Works Depart- ment, is directing the work. This event will include the halting in Montreal of the Ford Reliability Tour. Although directors of the club have undertaken to handle this show, in the same way as they did that of last year, officials of local aircraft firms have undertaken to co-operate to the fullest extent in an effort to make of this the most successful ae- rial meet yet held in Canada, The Montreal Light Aeroplane Club which is sponsoring the event, ex- pects that it will be possible to sur- pass anything yet staged in this country, First Day The first day of the air meet, Sa- turday, October 5, will be devoted to air races, acrobatics, parachute jump- ing, passenger flights and other stunts Various prizes have already been promised and several firms have made tentative offers. Space will be pro- vided for approximately 5,000 auto- mobiles. On Sunday, the total number of planes will reach 100 with the arrival of 60 planes from Ottawa on the Ford Reliability Tour, Windsor, To- Bridge is completed, St, Hubert Air- port, has a total area of 770 acres and js being equipped with the most ern apparatus such an hangars, offices, shacks, adequate landing runways, mooring mast, gasoline and water reseryoirs, service roads, and elteric lighting, wireless telegraph, housing quarters for pilots, directors and members of the staff, and rail- road facilities. Fields Of a triangular shape, the airport is divided into three fields, central, south and north landing fields, Level- ling work has been completed on the three fields but draining facilities have been installed only in the cen- tral landing field. A regular sewer system has been installed to provide flowing of water in case of rain. Pipes have been laid from four to 12 inches underneath the surface of the ground, When the field was opened, levelling and draining work proved to be a considerable task. Trees were uprooted, stones and rocks were removed and cinders were laid on the soi] to increase the draining qualities of the field. Located at the intersection of Chambly and Savane roads; the field will possess service roads around the grounds, One has already been com- pleted around the central landing field. At .the present moment, a temporary gas tank is being erccted near the airplane hangars and is con- nected with the mooring mast by a pipe one foot in diameter to trans- mit the gas from the tank to the huge reservoir locaed at the top of the mast for dirigible use, Temporary Shacks Temporary shacks located in the well-known "shack town" will soon disappear to climinate all - encum- brance on the field, Within the hangars there are suitable quarters for government, post office, customs, and immigration officials. The mooring mast is the feature of the field. Begun last May, it now nears completion, and is being equip- ped with modern and necessary ap- paratus for mooring of dirigibles. The basement contains pipes for water and electric needs, On the ground floor may be found three powerful motors, Two are to be used for hauling the dirigible and the other to attach it to the top of the mast, Gasoline motors have also been in- stalled in case the electric current should cease to supply required elec- tricity. Mr, Adams states that no error over a margin of one thirty- second of an inch was revealed in the erection of this mast, . THE OSHAWA DAILY, TIMES, SA SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1929 2 : Just when 2 collision seemed, inevit- able, they were stopped 60 feet apart by the apparatus. The deviee is said to also be applicable to level cross- ings and to electric or steam traction. BILLBORDS MUST Government Taking Action to Preserve Beauty of Countryside Victoria, B. C.--The British Colum- bia government has declared an un- relenting war on outdoor advertising along the provincial highways and during the next few weeks all bill- boards and boardings devoted to sub- jects other than road directions will be removed. 1 The government is thus taking ac- tion that will provide a uniform sys- tem along the Pacific highways from British Columbia to Mexico, The Oregon state government has al- ready taken action to have all ad- vertising matter removed from the state highways and legislation of si- milar effect is before the Washing- ton state authorities, "We don't want to be hard on the people who have spent money on ad- vertising," said Hon. Nels Lougheed, Minister of Public Works, " but we place first consideration on the beau- believe that the public has a right to enjoy that scenery without having it defaced by a lot of unsightly adver- tising matter." The government docs not proposc to interfere with the advertising mat- ter put up by resort hotels or similar inerests who have a legitirhate reason for informing travellers of what they have to offer, These have a definite value to the public and will be al- lowed to remain, All other signs, government test and unless they meet BE REMOVED IN B.C, ty of the province's scenery and we | however, will be subjected to #igid with official approval they 'will be de- stroyed, BROOKLIN BRIEFS Brooklin, Sept. 25--Mrs, Tade spent a few days with friends in Stayner. .
