AND FIFTYNINE BIGGEST COUNTRY FAIR This is the way one writer describes the Ex in its year The article appears in a US publica tion which devotes almost a full page to the attractions of the largest country fair in the world Canadians have every reason to feel proud of this national expo sition which attracts as exhibitors foreign govern ments including US President Harry Price has re sented the criticisms of one Toronto alderman blaming his unwarranted remarks as partially responsible for a plight decrease in attendance down as this is written But General Manager Hiram and the greatest of all showmen Jack Arthur both of whom are responsible for the grandstand show quite rightly ignore the small political seeker and carry on with the show This year it features over the objections of many nationalistic Canadians another from the United States George Gobel The argument of the nationalists which that Canada itself produces these days stars quite capable of filling the seals in the grandstand has been partially met by the man who gets second billing Eric House known to Canadian playgoers and television viewers as a deft and delight ful character actor and comedian not to mention his ability in musical comedy and operetta is featured prominently in the nightly show Here again the adjectives began to roll from the new administrative building The stage is described as the largest mobile platform in the world In fact it stretches feet between the proscenium and electrically controlled tractors move it on and off the football field where Canadas major eastern professional league plays its Toronto games in six minutes As usual the management announces there will be the worlds precision chorus line And with 180 feet of stage to dance on why not With everything in front of the grandstand bigger louder and better thousands of visitors manage to find quieter diversions in the park One of the most popular ways to spend an hour in spite of light- spielers and other more hectic attractions is still the daily band concerts Thin year the Ex is continuing its tradition of British hand music with Her Majestys Royal Marine Band brought from England especially for the occasion And for the specialist there is also almost any thing he wants Fencing contest- chess matches a wellstocked trout pool and an art exhibit featuring painting and sculpture by Canadian and foreign artists mineralogical exhibits Canadian wild ani mals Indian crafts special films on recondite subjects This year marking the opening of the St Lawrence Seaway the navies of the NATO nations made a spec tacular showing along the waterfront Next year it could be the armies of the NATO countries and Canada with its magnificent tradition regiments going hack over years in Canadian history could be hosts and actors in a dramatic pageant TELEVISION AND RADIO first view is of the service station Driving north on Yonge St the graceful slope where Home will be is a pleasant

similar public and semipublic bodies undertake a build ing program they usually appoint one of their number as chairman of the building committee This luckless individual has got himself a full time job Architects and builders are alright in carrying out their respective functions but unless someone who is deeply interested in the job he has undertaken is on the job day in day out the project is bound to suffer This week at SS No Strange a school section just north of the King Sideroad at the King Township offices the finishing touches have just been completed to a new tworoom school which is a tribute to the close attention given every phase of its conjunction and furnishing by the building committee chairman school trustee Wing Commander Roy The school is worth visiting It is efficient and modem without waste Principal Miss Betty Arbuckle and Miss Shirley Gibson will have charge of the odd pupils in attendance Provision has been made for playing fields in the excellent acreage surrounding the school FOR BETTER EDITORIALS Take a look at Weekly Newspaper writes Jack former editor of the Era and Express writ ing in Marketing a weekly publication addressed to Mar keting
