~ PLAN TO IMPROV . PAGE EIGHT THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1931 LE BOURGET FIELD | French Desire to Have One of Greatest Air Ports Paris, June 23.--Plans for el- | sborate additions to the Paris airport at Le Bourget are being studied by members of the Paris Municipal Council, Le Bourget, where Col. Charles A. Lindbergh landed after his flight across the Atlantic, is already one of the great airports of the world and may become the greatest. it the ncw plans are adopted. The plans include a project for building tracks for especially con- structed electric automobiles to speed up communication between Paris and the airport. Persons passing to and from the airport iu. connection with their depar- ture or arrival have complained that the time necessary to get to LeBourget is out of proportion to the actual air travel time between Paris and other points in Europe The erection of a pneumatic tube to facilitate the passage of air mail between Paris and the | airport also is being considered. i The system will be linked with | the other automatic mail tubes of | Paris. The principal features of the Le Bourget plans now under con- sideration concern the fostering of civilian aviation. New hang- ars are to be erected if the plans | are approved and every other en- couragement will be given to civ- ilian fliers to make use of the air- pert. The field, now an historic spot as the result of the landing of Lindbergh, and the take-off of Costes and Bellonte has become a favorite Sunday sightseeing point fcr Parisians. When the great planes of the Imperial Airways land or take off, the high iron fence, which was broken down by the mob when Lindbergh arrived, is crowded with Parisians thrilled by the roaring motors and the file of people treking across the field to board the air giant. The sunburned and hatless fig- ure of Captain Frank Hawks, holder of the American trans- continental record has been one of the familiar sights at Le Bourget. Captain Hawks is pop- ular with the fliers of the trans- port companies. After a flight he is often found in the buffet yarn- ing with one or other of the English pilots, Platinum Discovery f Revealed in Alberta { Winnipeg, June 23.--News of | the discovery of platinum on the | Athabaska River, Alberta, which was followed by a rush to stake clai: 2 in that section, has drawn a'tention to the operations now being carried out by the McLeod River Mining Corporation on the McLeod River, wich flows into the Athabaska. The McLeod flows into the Athabaska above the area in which the platinum discoyeries were reported. In this connection it is stated that in the hundreds of tests which have heen made on the McLeod River in the past four vears it was noted that a large number of the assays gave plati- num as. well as gold. Little has been said relative to the plati- nam, but it is considered it may Lecome an 'addition to the re- | coveries from dredging opera- | tions. } Tests were made on the Atha- | baska River, both above and be- | low 'the point where the McLeod River joins it, and these disclosed tie significant fact that while there were values in the Atha- buska below the mouth of the McLeod, there were none ahove it. This apparently proves that tle deposits in the Athabaska had their origin in the McLeod River, and were undoubtedly brought down from that source. McLeod River Mining Corpor- avion, whose main operations are new centred near Peers, on the Canadian National Railway, owns upwards of 120 miles of leases. This is, in fact, virtually the en- tire bed of the McLeod River to- gether with its banks. A dredge is now being set up on the property, and with the in- sigllation of a mew power plant now being installed is expected to. reach production within a menth. Should the enterprise re- sult as favorably as planned, cther dredges will bé placed on these leases in due course.

P. R. in 1882. Mr. Caesar, after whom a ] station on the JOHN CAESAR Kettle Valley Division is nam- ed, was first agent at Markdale, Ont., and thereafter was for many years associated with the come pany's station gardening activities. Even, after his pensioning in 1917, he retained supervisory responsi- bility over all gardens on lines east of Fort William. He is just over 80 years of age and has been a resident of Vancouver for some years.

C. Kirby, manager of the Montreal Motorists' League, which is affiliated with the American Automobile Associ- ation. ¥ Mr, Kirby listed some of these decignations for those who fail to exercise care, as follows: "Green Gazer'--the motorist who delayg the line of traffic by clashing the gears of the car or hes his attention diverted when the traffic signal flashes green, "Red Rusher"--the motorist who always starts across the street on the orange signal swerv- es his car to avoid hitting pedesi- rians, or makes a last-minute at- tempt to cross the street as the red signal flashes ahead. "Turtle driver"--the motorist who keeps all windows of the car up in the rainy weather, gives no signals to drivers behind when'ke intends to stop and trusts to luck ir. turning corners or out of the line of traffic. "Street Ostrich"'--the pedest- rian who crosses the street with his head buried in a newspaper or under an umbrella in rainy weather. "Sidewalk edger"-- the pedes- trian who leaves the sidewalk while waiting to cross the street and stands in the lane of vehic- ular traffic, forcing motorists to turn corners wide and risk being hit by other cars." The A.A.A. executive sald that tliese are only a few of the desig- nations used by motorists and pedestrians can greatly aid the cause of safety by using care and avoiding the "trafic mistakes" pointed out in the definition of those given ahove. FRANGE'S NAVAL ~ POLICY ATTACKED Rome Newspaper Charges German Menace Is Exaggerated Rome, June 23--An apparently inepired attack on French naval policy was made recently by the Gionale D'Italia, terized France as sheep's clothing." The newspaper denounced the French building policy as describ- ed Thursday in the Chamber of Deputies at Paris, building program was approved by the Chamber of Deputies. Partjcular reference was made to the eilou that France was forced to build ton '"'super-cruiser" the construction of warships by Germany and Italy, especially Germany's new "pocket battle- shipe." ; The newspaper said that to point to Italy's armaments in or- der to justify the arms of France "means falsification of the past and present facts." The French were charged with "exaggerating the danger of the German pocket battleship," to agitate public opinion and win support of the French program of armaments, as well as to con- vince the public of the necessity of general intensification of arm- which charac- ["aments, "a wolf 'in Several classes of French cruis- : ers present Hopelessly outelass the so-called pocket battleships in speed and gun power, the news- paper said.

British Boys Making Good on Farms Here Montreal, June 23.--The British Association of Boys' Clubs is not merely concerned with sending a certain number of boys to Canadian farms, but is trying to develop good Canadian citizens with a real in- terest in the science of their craft, H. A. Secretan, executive of the association said in an interview before sailing from Montreal for England on the White Star liner Doric. Mr. Secretan, who came to North America as. the British representa- tive to the convention of Ameri- can Boys' Clubs held in Washington in the first week in June, has also visited a farm in Nova Scotia which a member of the he said. "Obviously there were 'a certain number of misfits, but no- thing very serious. I found a num- ber of boys who are simply delight- ed with the change from England, and a number of tarmers who were cqually delighted with the boys. met one boy whom I'had last seen in 'London' taking part in a walking race. This trip I saw him clearinz rocks out of a field. He has only been here five weeks, but his ap- pearance has completely changed. He is now the picture of health-- clear-eyed and with his skin tan- ned. "I said, 'I have a spare berth, would you like to come back home with me?" He replied, 'No fear, [ am not going back, I am perfectly happy where I am." Supervision Needed Mr. Sceretan stressed the import- ance of regular supervision of the boys after they come to Canada, and added, "I feel that on our side of the water we must be tver more careful than we have been in sclect- family and therefore it is esential that Farmers have told me this over over azain Manchuria Adopts Monopoly for Handling | Peiping, example of several European coun tries, | match monopoly in the Northeast- | | cin the committee.
