D, Tresidder, representative, REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S, Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicage SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1930 BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE The South Ontario Agricultural Society, having seen its new venture in the intro- duction of track and field athletics into its program crowned with success, might well give thought to a progressive policy of building up the Oshawa Fair until it at- tains its maximum of importance and attrac- tion to the public generally. Only in this way can it hope to go ahead and escape the fate which has befallen the Fair at Bow- manville and other places. Fairs can only exist and develop in accordance with the de- velopment of the ideas of the directors, and if they are contented to move along in the same old rut, the Fair will soon die a nat- ural death. Having this year established the athletic program the directors might well give thought to further ideas for building up the Fair. For instance, it might be well worth while, next year, to select one important di- vision of the livestock section of the Fair, and build that up to the highest possible standard, to be maintained there in the years to come, Then each year a separate division could be taken in hand, developed to the maximum extent, and the natural re- sult would be to build up the whole of the Fair until it reached the highest possible standard of attractiveness and interest, One might suggest, for instance, that next year special attention be given to classes for hunters and jumpers in the horse classes. It would be quite easy to lay out courses for these in the centre of the athletic field, nd thus provide an additional grand stand at- traction, and one which would have a splen- did appeal to all lovers of good horse flesh. Or the directors might concentrate on cer- tain breeds of cattle, and by promoting inter- township competitions, with prizes suffi- cient to attract entries, it would be possible to have a cattle show well worth the name. In other years there might be a concentra- tion on a maximum, display of commercial exhibits by local merchants and manufactur- ers, or on an extensive automobile show. And having once reached these objectives, and maintained them year after year up to the original standard, the result would be a splendidly balanced Fair, with attractions for all types and classes of people that would far outshine the present exhibition in size and importance. In that direction alone lies hope for the future of the Oshawa Fair. Only by con- stant development and building by men of courage and wisdom, men ready to tackle a big job in a big way, nqtrhrdlumfwyphrdl main in existence as a going concern. THE ALTERNATIVE HIGHWAY With all the talk of going ahead with highway construction as a means of pro- viding employment, it is surprising that the municipalities between Toronto and Co- bourg, including Oshawa, have not taken up the suggestion made in the columns of The Times a few weeks ago with reference to the building of a second highway running east from Toronto. It will be recalled that this suggestion involved the use of the disused right-of-way of the, Toronto and Eastern Railway, which runs in a straight course from Toronto to Oshawa and has a natural road bed all ready for use for highway de- velopment. The need for a second highway east out of Toronto has long been admitted, but it has not been possible to secure any action on the selection of the route it should fol- low. The idea that the old railway bed should be used is one which has commended itself to a great many people, and it is time that the municipal authorities affected took up the suggestion seriously, and made every effort to impress its value on the minds of those in authority in the highways build- ing in Toronto. ' SPORTSMANSHIP Loud applause greeted an act of real sportsmanship at the Oshawa Fair on Thursday. In the 440 yards race, Alex Wil. gon, the Empire champion, was given the first lane on the inside, the softest of all the lanes, and the hardest in which to run. The second lane was drawn by a Toronto youth named Penlington. Sensing the desire ', of the erowd to see Wilson at his best, Pen- lington, quite voluntarily, gave up his better lane to Wilson, and took the first himself. Wilson won the. race in the wonderful time of 49 and one-fifth seconds, while Penlington running in the softer cinders, finished last. Yet it was significant that the applause which greeted the announcement of the To- ronto boy's sportsmanlike action was even greater than that which was accorded the winner of the race. British people always like sportsmanship, and that was the reason for the applause given to Penlington, The desire for fair play, and even more than fair play, came first, with the desire to win a secondary con- sideration. Thus, while he came last in the race, Penlington won glory for himself by sacrificing his own chances in order to give another competitor a better opportunity to make a record, THE RACES ARE ON Today Shamrock V matches its speed against that of the Enterprise, the United States defender, in the first of the series of races for the America Cup. For the fifth time that splendid sportsman and yachts- man, Sir Thomas Lipton, has brought a yacht across the Atlantic to compete for this trophy. Four times he has had to admit failure in the effort to lift the much-prized cup, but each time he has expressed a de- termination to try again, He has spent mil- lions of dollars in the effort to win the tro- phy, but without success, and today the eyes of the whole British Empire and the United States are focused on the race off Sandy Hook, where the two yachts will cov- er a thirty-mile course in a battle for su- premacy. . These two yachts represent the last word in vacht designing skill, One, built in Eng- land and brought across the Atlantic upholds the honor of Britain while the other is the pride of the United States, No races have ever created the interest which has been centred around the races for the America Cup, and the races which start today will be the greatest of all. Win or lose, Sir Thomas Lipton has prov- en himself a gallant sportsman, and British people everywhere will be cheering him on, and hoping for his success. Today's race in the crucial one for it will give the first defi- nite idea of the merits of the two boats, and if Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht should cross the line the winner, there will be a great celebration in the old land tonight. THE TRANS:CANADA HIGHWAY Our old friend Jim Curran of the Soo is at it again. Not content with putting the Algoma district on the map with his wolf stories, he is now anxious to put it on the Trans-Canada Highway. He writes us say- ing he feels sure our conscience would ap- prove of having that road built along the Lake Superior Shore, rather than through the clay belt farther north, We are inclined to agree with him for all our experience of that north country prompts us to say we are all for the Lake Superior route as the more beautiful and attractive of the two. But even if we did not have that idea, we would feel inclined to take Jim Curran's word for it, for the genial publisher of the Safllt Ste. Marie Star knows his country, and he has the knack of making other people see it just as he does. He says the majority of the people in New Ontario want the lake shore route, and if Jim says so then it must be so. So we are all for the Lake Superior shore route, because Jim says, in his letter, that he wants to take the editors over it for a trip one of these days, and when Jim ar- ranges a trip, then we want to be sure of a place in the party. EDITORIAL NOTES .In expressing thanks for assistance with the Oshawa Fair, the directors ought to re- member the share due to the weather man. It would be disastrous if Oshawa failed to share in the federal government's $20, 000,000 because of the apathy of the city council, Canadians are hoping that in the present yacht races, Shamrock V will be first. British sailors and a British cruiser went to the rescue of the hurricane sufferers in Santo Domingo. Perhaps the United States will not feel so badly about the British Navy now. In figuring on bread prices, it is well to re- member that the natural thing for bread to do is to rise. If the money being provided by the fed- eral government for unemployment relief is used largely to eliminate level crossings, it will serve a doubly useful purpose. It begins to look as if the Imperial Econo- mic Conference is going to be a real bargain- ing counter. It was a lot easier for Mr. Bennett to promise_an all-Canadian national highway, than it will be to decide the towns and vil- lages through which it will pass.
