All week, thousands have trudged the grounds, but tomorrow more are expected, while a duplicate of last Sunday's crowd of nearly 300,000 are expected this Sunday, when the ship, weather conditions permitting willvcast of! for a flight to Ottawa and Toronto. According to present plans the R-l00 will be back at St. Hubert Monday evening and from then on no time will be lost in preparing her for the return flight to England, the date of departure again resting with the weatherman. While her schedule calls for her to leave on August 15th, on the home- ward hop, it is understood the British Admiralty desires to scrutinize all data collected on the voyage and hence the date of departure for Car- dlngton may be advanced consider- ably.

A Ford coupe, owned and driven by Mr. Melvin Jay, son of Mr. George Jay, York, accompanied by Mr. Har- old McDonald, son of Mr. Wallace. McDonald, Covehead. skidded in some loose gravel at Summerettc Bridge below the gate of Mr. George Watts farm, while driving to the home of Mr. McDonald in Covehead.

Dr. Manion And TTre St. Lawrence WaterwayProject (Special to the Guardian) QTTAWA. Aur- tt-Anrninuueut of l-lon. Dr. R. J. Manlon to the Port- folio of Railways and Cauls is re- garded by politioal observers hare as having special significance in con- nection with the development of the St. Lawrence Waterway. Dr. Marion has been for years an outspoken ad- vocate of the project. He represents a constituency Fort William. which ls especially interested in the com- pletion of a deep canal as far as Montreal. It is recalled that 1n three debates in the House on the sub- ject in 1921. 1923 and 1929, Dr. Manion supported proposals looking ‘award negotiations with the U. S. and the building of the Vlaterway-s. In April 11. 1920. Dr. Manion said after mending 0120000000 or there-I abouts on the Wellard Canal, for. that will be the amount when it is completed, i‘, seems to me that the building of this; other waterway is the logical thing to do to round out the whole scheme. It will enable us to go down the lakes right to Mon- treal, which is 500 miles closer to Liverpool than is New York, and that is a‘ factor of somolmportance. It is also to be remembered that abou‘ one third the area of the United States. one third of the population and per- haps one third of the production of ti“; country 1g tributary to the canal gystem through the Great Lakes. Taking all these things into account. I do not see how anyone can d6!- initciy take the stand of absolutely opposing this schema. The genial doctor Ls also most. ac- ceptable to Sir H. Thornton.
