PAGE TEN ---- THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1940 Gl 4 Be. CN.E EXPECTING ATTENDANCE WILL PASS 1939 MARK (Continued from Page 1) to the tune of clicking turnstiles, cheerful officials said. Transportetion Day at the Cana- dian National Exhibition yesterday emphasized for old-timers the vast difference in methods of getting to the Fair since the days when horse- cars and steamboats vied with | horse and buggy. In 1881, for instance, ten horse- drawn ces served the Exhibition. Counting the hardy souls who hung * on the sides, and providing ol' Dob- bin didn't stop too often to nibble grass, about 400 passengers per 'hour were transported. A bit of contrast to Labor Day this year, when 150 street cars car- ried 18,000 in and out of the gates every hour during the rush time! And, these days, sutos and busses transport as many people as street 'Cars. Twenty-five and. thirty years ago, long after the first electric line was installed, many visitors preferred the steamers running between Yonge street and the Exhibition seawe.l or .the steam trains from downtown. These services were discontinued as the use of autos be- came general. Farmers and well-to-do city folk used their buggy, spring-wagon or ' carriage, until the Great War, Stabling and feeding of horses was the biggest park-lot problem in those days. * Today (Friday) will be "Live . Stock Review Day," with the 2 p.m. + parade of prize-winning live stock in the Coliseum arena providing the keynote for breeders and stock y exhibitors. * 'Nine motorcycle races will high- , light the grandstand program, start- ing at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, with . 8 five-mile event for the Canadian title included. The half-mile track has been treated with calcium chloride to remove the dust, usually so annoying to spectators and dan- gerous to competitors. GANDA MAY GET OLD LS.

Not Used in Ten Years The old tanks have not been used by the United States Army in the past ten years, after Congress ruled in an economy drive that no more money should be spent on their up. keep. Asked whether he was optimistic over the defense negotiations with Danas so far, Mayor La Guardia sald: "I am generally optimistic. I think it is fair to say that there has been a common understanding between the two sides that is a common problem. "Of course, we are very much concerned with the defense of the North Atlantic coast. It so happens that all of the strategic points of defense are in Canadian waters." Asked whether there would be one or two bases in Newfoundland, Mayor La Guardia said that "You have got to look at the whole pic- ture and then you get into the plural." Acquisition of the Newfoundland area, he added, facilitated the work of the Joint Board to a point where it could "actually work out a de- fense plan beyond the blueprint stage." Considered by Board Ottawa, Sept. 6.--Col. O. M. Big- gar, chairman of the Canadian sec- tion of the Canadian-American Joint Defense Board, last night confirmed Washington reports that the board had discussed the trans- fer of obsolete American tanks to Canada for training purposes. The board had considered gener- ally the possibility of the United States furnishing war materials to Canada, including tanks of first Great War vintage, he said, but he declined to elaborate.

Ebbs in placing on suspended sentence for two years Tiiomas Harold Jollow, 128 Agnes street, who was convicted one week £20 of assault on his wife. His Worship decided in favor of the suspended sentence partly at the re- quest of the woman involved, thought that after being in jail for one week her husband had learned a lesson. She was anxious that he should not lose his job through be- ing given a jail term. It we; dis- closed that Jollow would be able to proceed to work if given his free- | dom. His Worship commented on how frequently it happened thc. a wo- | man laid a charge against her hus- | band, had him convicted, and then pleaded for a suspended sentence | for him. Referring to the case in | question, the cadi remarked that if | he was the wife assaulted he "wouldn't have anything more to do" with this man. ig Thomas Jollow declined to give evidence last week, and this morn- | ing had little to say except to em- | phasize the fet that he was an habitual drunk, as he indulged very infrequently. Under the terms of the suspension, Jollow will have to re- port to the Chief of Police on the first of every month and pay the costs of the court.
