The steamers ~do not bring the people to the dock at the foot of Dufferin Street The horse cars are replaced by the electric cars. The old box stoves disappeared and good heating was supplied in the present atreet cars. All these advances were duly presented each year to mark the progress of the «ountry to the thousands who «ame yearly to the fair from the four quarters of the globe. They eame to see a city that was proâ€" gressive in every term of the phrase. They saw and went In those days it was the old horse street cars that took us from the centre of the City to the Dufferin Street entrance of the grounds. But it was an exâ€" perience coming home after the show was over. Many were the nights that the conductor could not get the fares collected beâ€" cause of the crowded cars. Then it often happened that the horses could not pull the street car up the grade at the Eastern part of the King or Queen Street subâ€" ways. It meant getting off and pushing. _ Think tired out and doing that after a big day at the fair. Yet the crowd were ail happy. Our parents must have‘ been wonderful to year after year face the ordeal of that day at the exhibition How we gathâ€" ered all the give aways in those days from the exhibitors. They do not give as much away these days. Year after year, for 84 years the Annual Canadian National Exhibition has been holding its presentation of the best producâ€" tion and latest developments of man‘s ingenuity. As one sits back and reflects on the impresâ€" sions this great annual fair and exhibition has made upon him over the past seventy years he is overwhelmed. He has seen the personal enactment staged by Cowâ€"Boys and Indians in their battles of those early days. It was the thrill of his young life to see the holdup of the stage coach, the round up by the cowboys, the battle royal with the Indians in their feathâ€" ers and war paint and the cowâ€" boys with their horses, guns and ropes.

It is understood that with the upâ€"toâ€"date accommodation more exhibitors than ever have taken space. It is anticipation that as one does sit back looking forâ€" ward to the presentation of this year‘s annual, he will be thrilled as he was in the 1890‘s.

The baptismal service was held Saturday morning at the Municipal Swimming Pool at King and Melrose. Baptism was by total water immersion and 290 were baptized. Delegates were on hand from eight Canadian provinces and thirteen states of the U.., though the majority were from Ontario, Quebec and New York State. The convention was a family affair with children, leenagers and older folks sitting in the hot sun earnestly concentrating on the addresses. Mr. Thomas Jones, district minister and convention superâ€" ’ Mr. Rosam explained to his listeners, " There is a great need for courage in our times. Never before in human history has there been such 2 real threat to continued existence on this planet. This is a most disâ€" ordered world. Mankind has never before known the like of it. One thing, therefore, â€" that God‘s Kingdom will mean to all mankind is universal peace ano good order, the removal of wild confusion. God‘s time for perâ€" mitting mans way of running the earth is near its end. His time is at hand to set up the Kingdom . . . God has a perâ€" fect record of all the dead and can reproduce them here on this earth. Those resurrected will enjoy Jiving in Paradise, under the moon, not wanting to‘ go to the moon."

A seventy acre bog is an outstanding feature. The reâ€" maining marginal land is reforâ€" ested in combination with wild: life and food plots to demonsâ€" trate conservation as well as providing shelter belts for other activities, The facilities for orâ€" ganized sportsmen‘s clubs will provide for more competitive participation. For example, well trained retrievers pick up game which would otherwise be lost. Improved â€" marksmanship with gun and bow, result in better sportsmen. Adequate small arms training reduces accidents. This area, where sportsmen can train, practige, and compete will assist in the conservation of wildlife, safe hunting and in addition will provide _ interesting _ spectator events. They are getting naid for their labor, and well: for work in these isolated areas demands a high wage. But there was someâ€" thing completely divorced from a monetary aspect in their attiâ€" tude toward their job. Maybe it was the challenge of harnessing nature, or wrestling with limeâ€" stone and conquering the chances of seepage by forcing concrete . into pockets . where shale could â€" seriously â€" weaken the structure it could have been all of these things or only one, for each group of workers had their own special â€" tasks, their own deadlines to meet.

The only way I could absorb this whole burgeoning process was to actually be there. I watched men working all the daylight hours at Manitoba‘s Grand Rapids Power developâ€" ment, hardly concerned with the fact they had been slugging at the job for more than eight hours. Here was the old spirit of pioneering, reborp. There was no clock watching, few took advantage of their _ "coffee break" to visit the commissxry for cold drinks. ‘They were all aware of construction‘s chief enemy, weather,â€" and on this sunny day they were each and everyone of them putting their? backs into the task. ‘ ‘"The people and the officials of Hamilton have been very kind to us," Mr. Jones added, "and we want to express our appreciation for their hospitalâ€" ity. It has been most pleasant to be here and we look forward to returning in the notâ€"tooâ€"disâ€" tant future to Civic Stadium."
