In the epic, as in the giant Wright- motored Fokker monoplane, were four heroes--the crew of the America. But the spotlight of the aerial drama falls chiefly upon the two pilots, Bert A- costa and Lieut. Bernt Balchen, the latter a true son of the old Vikings whose courage and daring left thei own record in the pages of history. It was the story of one of the great- est pilots of American aviation and { probably of al time, Bert Acosta, bea- ten to his knees by angry storm gods who twice had seen the Atlantic span- ned in flights from New York to Eur- ope in less than two months; beaten, but unbowed, refusing to surrender even when his muscles failed longer w obey his failing senses. It was the tale, too, of a younger 'man whose responsibility had not been so great in the early stages of the {fhght and who suffered less from the (fury of the elements, coming to the tad of his fatigued companion at the LC erucial moment with skill and coolness almost on a par with Acosta at his best, saving his own life and those of his three fellow-fliers. | For Acosta, who lifted the heayily- laden America into the air at Roos- evelt Field shortly after dawn Wed- smesday, had "passed out" when tiie | plane reached the coast of France. | As the fliers were coming to Paris {on the train from.

It was cam- plained that sand was blown out from the moulding room through short pipes and settled on and in the houses of the district. It was impossible members of the deputa- tion said for their houses to be kept clean inside or out and the weekly Vashings hung on the lines Became absolutely astered with dirt. Attempts to paint the houses had ended they sald, in dismal fail- ure for no sooner was the paint on than dirtied. One man stated that at certain times it was impossible to hear over the telephone in houses adjoining Fittings and for that reas- on he had discontinued his phone. The plea that the condition was grossly unsanitary was last put forth. The matter was referred to a special committee to he composed of Mayor Preston and the aldermen, for the ward. They will interview the officers of the Company with a view to having the desired steps taken, and [win confer with the eity Solieitor. The members of the deputation complained that the nuisance which has heen previously brought to the attention of council without ade- | quate action was this year worse than ever. Ald. D. A. J. Swanson after the deputation had been heard urged upon council that these rate- payers had a real grievance, He pointed out that many of them were living in houses built by the Hous- ing Commission which made it al the more advisable that the council seeure relief. "We don't want tronhle with the manufacturers but we must care for citizens who are paying taxes and lave certain rights," asserted Mr. Swanson.

Thirty or forty thousand people joined in the acclaim. All rogds lead- ing to the landing field were jammed four deep and wheel to wheel along the six-mile route which Lindbergh fol- lowed to the Parliament Buildings, At the Hupt Club the scene was repinis- cent of that at Salisbury Plain when the King reviewed the first contingent of Canadians. For enthusiasm it could not have been exceeded by the gather- ing at Le Bourget when Lindbergh arrived in Paris after his amazing solo flight across the Atlantic. Around the landing field, as far as the eye could reach, thousands waited patiently for a glimpse of the famous flyer." The field itself is large enough for the manoeuvres of 20000 troops with cay- alry and artillery, and the United States fliers, upon arrival, complimen- ted the Canadian Air Force upon the excellent arrangements made. The | good-natured and orderly crowd had a splendid view of the entire proceed- ings, thanks to the efficient work of Colonel H. J. Coghill of the Defence Department, and splendid co-operation of J. A. Wilson and Group Captain Scott of the Air Force, and of the various military units. Especially ef- fective was the disposition of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police ynder Inspector Hill.
