4 1~eCan amSaemn, zEowmfl, Au .1 m EDITORIAL COMMENT Eh"bition in Toronto Opens This Friday Expo f67 In Montreal has been such 400 utstanding attraction this year that the Canad"a National Exhibition i ?loronto appears to be suffering by Copaijn .which ,most regrettable. TeCNE opens this Friday and Continues until Labor Day with many Rew attractions and quite a few of the standbys that have stood the test of tîme. Let's support it this year particu- ladly when aur annual exhibition la iacing its Mnost serious competition. We have been quite annoyed ovEr the downgrading by publicity media of the CNE this year. They have been cMiparing it with EXPO and in effeet ridiculing the buildings, the displays, the grandstand show and many other featuires. Certainly Expo is a tremen- dous show far beyond anything that could be expected of an annual fair sucli as the CNE. There is no doubt that the EX could be improved consid- erably if even a small portion of the funds that have been expended by Canada and the other countries at Ex- pc could be spent on it, but where would sucli vast amounts of money be obtained, from the city, from the pro- vince or would each rnunicipality in the area be interested in contributing aportion of their tax funds to the pro- Jeet? We very much doubt it. So, let's fot run down the aid girl who has been so faithful ta us all these years. Just make certain you take i the Ex and enjoy every minute of it, without being involved in accommoda- tion problems, huge line-ups and so on. There will be, plenty to see and enjoy at your leisure, without driving 300 miles over jam-packed roads ta get there. The ONE has been a part of aur life since childhood. Don't knock it! Incidentally, in recent weeks when we have been rushlng ta accidents of niany types on highway 401, our sym- pathies have gone out ta the mnany Canadian and American familles whe have found themselves in crashes while on *their way fa Montreal. On Monday, there were four cars, twa af them from the United States, involved in a multiple collision just west of Courtice. The Americans were on their way ta Expo with their familles, only a few of the hundreds of thousands who have been attracted to the big world's fair. Their holiday trip was spoiled completely by the incident and probably they are wishing they had stayed at home. Better they should have waited for the ONE that is a great exhibition without quite s0 much con- fusion and smaller crowds. e It la flot infrequently said that Canada lias liad a pretty duil history. Columrnist C. J. Harris suggests that anyone of that opinion miglit consider tlie foîlowing: "1869 An eccentric named George Francis Train, :who started liorse- dlrawn streetcars in Britain and the U.S., planned ta conquer Vancouver Island and give it to Ireland. Train toured the U.S. trying to raise an army ci Fenians, and his plan was ta build a bridge across Juan de Fuca Strait, xhardi uis men over and humn the bi7idge behind them. Wlien Train couldn't raise an army he went over hlrnself by boat, but when it got ta 'M- Wtoria at 5 a.m. and there was no 'iie'there ta meet hi.-n but one news- * paper reporter lie said the place would neyer amount ta anything because everyone sîept so late and got back on the boat and went home ta Seattle." The above is only one of many col- et-ful and probably littie knownf items contained in a history section that has been added to the new edition of the pècket encyclopedia,, ,Quick Canadian racts, the reference volume that packs In thousands of up-to-date facts on *apiy, government, politics,ffpppe. a.d every other phase of Canadian a!- Mairs. In fact the new issue is so up-ta- date that it even lias 1967 population figures. * The book's history section is prob- Concern thaftih number of new egpes of tuberculosis in Canada has dec- lped so slowly -in recent years was enressed recently by Dr. C.

Jeanes, executive secretary o! the Canadian Tuberculosis Association at the annual meeting of the arganizafion at lie Ciateau Frontenac, Quebec New active cases reported in 1968 nunbered 4,500 and reactivations were n itic neighborhood cf 800. This j, much leis tian a ten per cent reduction in aétive cases and only slightly mare in reactivations. In fact, there were more reactivations tian four years earlier. Fully as discouraging as tue num- ber o! new cases appearing is the fact tijat half o! tiose found last year were iri an advanced state at the time of diagnosis, the speaker sfated. This was due, lie considered, ta a complacency about tuberculosis, a failure ta use the diagnostic services available almost ahl over Canada. 1Tie lamentable resuits of failures to, locaf e active cases, are seen in the nùmber o! local epidemics which have occurred. There have been at least 20 of these in tic hast five years, Dr. Jeanes stiated. Most o! thern had involved school cildren. SWidespread and very thorougli t4berculin testing in sciools indicates t1hat Iess than four per cent o!

In chronological order it spans the per- lad from the year 1000 up ta the pre- sent and it not anly summarizes the significant events tiat every student must caver, it also provides fie unus- ual sideliglits of our history such as the story about George Francis Train. Another example is the story about the CPR's last spike. "1885 Last spike o! Canadian Pac- ifie Railway main line driven at Craig- allachie, B.C. Actualîy there were three spikes. When Lord Strathcona hit fthe first witli a maul he bent if and the Roadmaster twisted it out and put in another.

Later lie gave the real one ta CPR president Sir Edward Beatty, but when Beatty died the spike was not with lis belongings.
