Frost officially opened the 1953 Lindsay. Fair. : The 1963 version of the Lindsay F Central Exhibition is going to be quite a show! , . , if it lives up to all its advance notices. The Board says it has spared no expense to bring to Lindsay a wide range of crowd-pleas- ing features, This year's president, John R. Kel- sey, Woodville farmer, has stated that "this year careful consideration has been given by the Directors in compiling the Prize List, in an effort to make this show surpass any pre- vious Exhibition held in Lindsay. New classes have been added, exist- ing sections have béen amended and changed-to-meet present day require- ments, Judges .have been carefully selected, and when possible, recom- mendations from Breed Associations have been given preference, and where thought adyisable, more judges More land has been purchased for storage of exhi- bitors' trucks. Prize money has been increased in many sections. Buildings weré improved and more yardage for the washing of cattle provided. Never before has so much been done by way of improvement to facilitate the com- fort and convenience of our exhibit- ors", The president concludes by stating that the Board hdpes "that you will be with us at ofr show, and that with nbiffed- support; we-can make bigger Than New Wing For Lindsay Instead of adding a new wing to the Ross Memorial Hospital, a new hospital will be built, a special com- mittee dealing with the proposed new wing has decided. The new hospital will cost approximately $1,300,000 and will atcommodate more than 200 beds. Spray Plan Big Success The fly ocntrol program which was carried out last summer by the Osh- awa Board of Health was a decided success, members of the Board of Health agreed at a meeting last nite. The actual spraying was confined to an eight-block area in the centre of the: city but the beneficial offerts were widespread. Using a Hudson power sprayer, 160 gallons of three per cent hyrdo- car- bons emulsion was used on two oc- casions to spray all the back lanes, walls and garbage cans. Then, on four other: occasions, a fog machine used a different chemical mixture to fog up the same area. Both the Sanitary Inspector and residents in the area agree that the fly Nuisanee was substantially re- duced. - = oy | Daylight Saving Departs Sept. 26 Daylight Saving Time in Port Perry ends at 12 p.m. midnight, on Satur- - day 26th so states the Town Clerk- | Treasurer.

Forecasts Atom. Plants in 5 Years Dr. C. J. Mackenzie, retiring pre- sident of the crown-incorporated "A- tomic Energy of Canada Limited, said recently that there is no doubt that atomic energy plants will be op- erating on a commercial scale within the next five years. Dr. Mackenzie, head of the nation- al research council for 18 years said industrial research has been moving forward rapidly at the atomic energy. plant at Chalk River with AEC con- centrating on building pilot power plants to produce atomic energy. "There are hundreds of problems to be worked out before these power plants would 'be economically compe- titive with other cources of power," he said, "but there is no doubt now of their feasibility as a source of in- dustrial power." Several Important Questions On County Council Agenda With a "heavy agenda on-tap;-Ont- ario County Council will meet at the Court 'House on Wednesday Septem- ber. 30th. The session is expected to last several days. One question to be discussed, and probably disposed of; is that of capi- tal hospital grants, The special com- mittee rcongidering this question met on nday and will present its re- por. This has long been a conten- tious. question. Another question likely to come up is that of superanuation of county employees. At present the county, has no superanuation scheme and in recent years it has become a fairly large émployer of labor. This has been a very heavy construe- tion year in the county with the lay- ing of 26 additional miles of asphalt pavement, giving the county now 76 miles of permanent roads. This work is nearing completion, under county road superintendent R. E. Sims and his men, and will be done before the frost sets in. The Roads and Brid- ges Committees will. therefore have interesting reports to ; pregent to the Council. Of course there are other subjects that may gome., The Reach assess- ment appeal has been disposed of so that it will not likely raise its head at this session, There will be re- porta from the various committees. All in all it promises to-be an inter- esting session.

CPR Had F irst Domes A lon forgotten enius in the Canadian Pacific Railway's mo- tive power and rolling stock department came up with an idea at the turn o ditional passenger revenues for rail lines throughout the conti- nent. It was the first "dome" car to "be used on rajlway lines and was desig ned to give passengers a bird's 8 oye view of Canada's spec- tacular Rocky Mountain scenery. Today the idea has spread psi the world, particu- lal the United States where railway dome cars are a feature of several lines, In a recent $38,000,000 order * for 165 new stainless steel cars,- the C.P.R. included 86 scenic- the 20th century that blossomed into ad-' dome cars, such'ag the one shown above in top picture, which will give travellers an unmatched view of this country's scener from coast to const. The cars wil - be placed in service on trans continental trains next year, Although the desifiner of the 'dome car prototype, shown in bottom picture above, remains unknown, he gave Canada's first transcontinental rail line a head start in railway design. In July, 1902, the world's first dome car rolled out of the shops and into service. In it, railway passengers could git in revolving parlor car chairs or reversible seats and have a clear view of Canada's scenery. The car proved an i mmediate hit and three others, with modi- fied improvements, were put into service. But the C.P. tk 8 un- known designer had outstripped « his era. Air conditioning and Polaroid glass were unknown and the sun's ultra-violet rays proved uncom- fortably warm. 'The cars were re- \ placed 'with open-air observation * cars, several years later, The railway reverted back to its original idea recently when it - ordered the 36 dome cars---more than 60 years after it first had them on the road. "Canada's scenery is hard to beat in any corner of the land, Xi a railway official said. "We admit the Rocky Mountain area is the most spectacular, but we believe the cars can be used to advantage from const to coast." ; : sl od i ) "Buick Draw" to be Held Oct. 23 - Gala Night ai | A TR ENS gr Ee ra EC a Eats ATE NR a Ta pp CE Sr Er Se poo CR fo me Ms Sk RA Tp >Re ie) Ro ab
