Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 16th, 1953 C. N. E. CONTESTS What person is there who could not do with some extra money? Here at least are a dozen ways it can be made at the 1953 Canadian National Exhibition. To celebrate its 75th year the Exhibition once again has arranged a wide variety of contests and competitions. There is a contest for instance that will pay you $100 if you are a pretty good hand at turning out a batch of biscuits. All the ingredients will be supplied by the C.N.E. Just get your entry in now and be on hand the day of this competition. You might prefer to try your hand in one of the sewing contests. If there is a youngster in your house you will be interested in entering a smocked dress in one of the various age groups. The work will be judged on design, workmanship and suitability. And, of course, there is a prize for the winner and the runner-up. When the Women's Division of the Canadian National Exhibition was established thirty odd years ago the only competitions were for quilting, sewing and knitting Quilting is just as popular today as it was then and this year there are many classes in which a quilt may be entered. A woman in the north country says she can skin and fillet a fish faster than any man she knows, and plans to be out front for this contest. This is a new contest this year, and women and men are both eligible to enter. You don't need to rush out and catch a fish, the C.N.E. will have one on hand for you. Get your entry in early for this one as the competition among male and female fishing enthusiasts 5s very keen. There will be fashion shows every hour on the hour at the Exhibition, but only one where fashion-wise and penny-wise women can make a little extra money. This is the basic fashion contest. Come to the Exhibition in your basic dress--it can be black, brown or blue. All accessories will be supplied and there are several prizes for the women who select the smartest accessories for wear before five o'clock and after five o'clotk. The good cakemakers will want to 4ry their hand at the fruit cake contest. Again, all ingredients will be supplied and there will be plenty of Everyone has a hobby these days, and there is a class for almost every known hobby. Whether you work with ceramics, paint or sketch, make metal or shell jewelry, do wood carving or leather work, there is a competition where you can match your skill with other hobby fans from all across Canada. Competitions are held daily throughout the two week period of the Ex. To find out the day on which your favourite competition will be held, and to secure an entry form write to the Canadian National Exhibition, Exhibition Park, Toronto, and mark the envelope "Women's Division." All entries must come in on the proper form and must be in early. CANCER THROUGH THE AGES Cancer, a disease probably as old as mankind, is still much of a mystery to medical science. It is known, however, that some forms are curable and others may be controlled. The essential things is to have diagnosis and treatment as early as possible before the disease becomes established. Therefore, anyone who has any suspicious symptoms should seek medical attention immediately. There is a good chance of cure if cancer is treated early enough--but time is the important factor. A medical examination is wise if there is any suspicion of the disease; if there is no cancer, the doctor will set the mind at ease. IN THE SWIM Swimming and walking are two of the most valuable--and economical-forms of exercise. When you walk out of doors you not only gain the benefit of good fresh air but you exercise all the muscles of your body, from your eyes to your toes. When you swim, those muscles get a workout without the trouble of carrying the weight of the body. Both forms of exercise make excellent recreation, with a tonic effect on the mind. Older people whose budget won't stretch far enough to include more expensive entertainment can make a hobby of nature study that more than repays the time spent upon it. A streetcar ticket to the city limits will take the nature lover out to where he can enjoy the beauties of country scenery. The public library shelves will supply many volumes of natural history to help the nature student, old or young. IMPORTANCE OF BREAKFAST After a fast of ten to sixteen hours duration, the next meal should be much more than just a snack and a cup of coffee. Yet many people start out on their day's work with nothing more substantial for breakfast. Whatever the reason for skipping the necessary amount of food, whether it be with the idea of reducing, lack of time or just plain laziness, the result will certainly be reflected in the I general health. Lack of the proper | amount of food for maintenance of the body will not build up resistance to colds or other diseases and it will not help to avert fatigue. A good breakfast, according to the nutritionists, should consist of fruit juice, hot whole-grain cereal, an egg or bacon, toast and hot beverage. With that foundation, the day's work can be attacked with much more enthusiasm. BUSH SCHOOL July 13th, 1953 Royce Simpson and Jim Collins are at Camp Borden with the Cadets for six months.

All close work should be done in light that is bright enough for comfort without undue strain on the sight. Regular examination of the eyes by an eye specialist will ensure that weakness of sight or any eye disease can be treated before it becomes serious. Wearing glasses is no longer regarded as undesirable and, j for the fashion-minded, there are1 most attractive styles in frames.
