Wants 'Disneyland' On CNE Grounds TORONTO (CP) -- Controller Donald Summerville said today he will propose to officials of the Canadian National Exhibi- tion that they convert the mid- way into an amusement park like Disneyland, with Walt Dis- ney hired as consultant for the multi-million dollar project. "It is possible that the mid- way as we know it today may be outdated by 1965 and we should start putting away money during the next four years to pay for something new," Mr. Summerville said. The present contract for the CNE midway expires in four years. Mr. Summerville said the Dis- neyland development in Cali- fornia, which includes fairyland castles and frontier cabins, would be in sharp contrast to the present midway where car- nival barkers call adults into girlie shows and children into Afreak shows. of competing on airport cir- cuits, and yearned for a truly Canadian Grand Prix type cir- cuit, Mosport (a composite word derived from Motor Sport) is being carved out of the gentle wooded slopes out in Clarke Township. Today, construction of this mammoth undertaking contin- ues. Work gangs are busy pre- paning the 2.5 miles of track for opening day. More than 30,000 people are expected to flock to the newly-paved cir- cuit to watch the titans of big time racing turn in lap speeds of up to 100 mph in the Players|?00 "200"', sponsored by a leading tobacco company. More than 12 speedsters, in- cluding ex-world champion, Stir- ling Moss will be competing for $8600 in the 200-mile race, one of the two races on that day. Super-tuned racers, includ- ing the renowned Lotus Mk 19, the squat Porsche RS 61 and the Canadian-built Sadler will be in combat. All this was made possible only by the enthusiasm, initia- tive and vision of a small group of motor racing enthusiasts, and the money of many. The small group of people con- ceived the idea of "big time" racing about five years ago. Among this group were: C. A. Bunting, R. A. Byatt, F. G. Hill, C. W. Stockey and C. H. Tei- cher, all of Toronto. The idea of Mosport Park took tangible form in 1958, when the com- pany was incorporated. SPECIALLY DESIGNED The track itself was laid out with advice from some of the world's leading drivers and race organizers, including Stirling | Moss. The organizers sold shares at $25 each to raise the necessary $40,000 to buy a 500-acre proper- ty in Clarke Township in County of Durham. The next step was finding the $140,000 to build a track. Funds were raised by the sale of $100 debentures to sports car clubs in Ontario and Que- bed. To date, $110,000 has been raised this way. The rest was made up from a bank loan, available once Mosport had shown that various club mem- bers were willing to put up $75, The motor industry were sold on providing permanent build- ings in return for advertising rights. A $70,000 control tower and scoreboard, $28,000 worth of gates, $35,000 in pits and $60,000 in other buildings already have been arranged this way. A club- house and swimming pool are in the future. When completed Mosport will have a value in excess of $750,000. There will be parking for 30,000 cars. Macdonald Home National OTTAWA (CP)--"You"ll never die, John A." The words were shouted at an open-air political rally 80 - odd years ago by someone carried away with the oratory of Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada's first prime minister. They will come closer to re- ality in Canadian history today, the 70th anniversary of his death, when Macdonald's old grey stone home, Earnscliffe, is declared a national historic site here. Sir John A. was the guiding light and chief conciliator in the ticklish negotiations that brought about confederation of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario into a sin- gle nation in 1867. He pushed the fledgling country into the northwest and brought British Columbia into Confederation. When he died at the age of 76, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Liberal opposition leader, said in the Commens Macdonald's 46 years in politics had been in fact the history of Canada. Ir his first address to the electors, when he ran in 1844 as Conservative candidate for Kingston, in the old Union Par- liament of Upper and Lower Canada, he declared: *'A British subject I was born; a British subject I will die." LOVED BY FOLLOWERS Sir John A. was loved by his supporters, who forgave his weakness for wine and liquor and found delight in his rough political barbs. He was de- tested by his opponents who were frustrated by the procras- Sit tinatior that won him the so- briquet "Old Man Tomorrow" and awed by his political acu- men. He died in the master bed- room of Earnscliffe on June 6, 1891. Since 1930, the house on the Ottawa River east of Parlia- ment Hill has been the residence of the United Kingdom high commissioner. Declaring Earnscliffe a na- tional historic site will not af- fect its continued ownership by the United Kingdom govern- ment. A bill introduced in the Com- mons this session by Jack Wrat- ten (PC--Brantford) would de- clare a public holiday in Feb- ruary as Sir John A. Macdonald Day. The February date was sug- gested as an appropriate holiday break between New Year's Day and Easter. It would have no significance in Macdonald's ca- reer. However, the bill is 5th on the list of private members' bills now before the Commons, and is unlikely to be debated or acted upon this session. The government, it is understood, wants to test public opinion on the idea before facilitating its passage, PLANE LANDS SAFELY JUNEAU (AP) -- A four-en- gined Canadian Pacific Airlines plane carrying 101 persons landed safely at Cold Bay, Alaska, Monday after one of its engines conked out high over the stormy Gulf of Alaska.

SUFFERS CONCUSSION A Lakeview man was taken to the Oshawa General Hospital, Monday night, suffering from concussion after a single car accident north of Columbus, on the Oshawa-Port Perry county road.
