Miracles of modern science and
industry, many of them developed
under the stress of war, will be
disclosed to public view at the
Canadian National Exhibition, the
world's largest annual exposition,
being held at Toronto from August
2i2 to September 6.
The C.N.E. not only will display
the latest scientific and industrial
advances of the post-war world-—
it will present a full panorama of
the progress of agriculture and the
arts as well. For the first time
since before the war, there will 'be
exhibits from distant lands. As in
pre-war days, an international note
has been struck at the “Showplace
of the Nations."
Not since 1941 has there been a
Canadian National Exhibition. Dur
ing the intervening years, the 350
acre park stretching for a mile and
a half along Lake Ontario was turn
ed over to Canada’s armed forces.
For the past year, Elwood Hughes,
O.B.'E., general manager, and his
work, re-

It was a tremendous job to re
store the Exhibition to its former
glory. A vast face-lifting job has
been doite. More than
workmen have been
the Exhibition alone
tions. New buildings
erected, old buildings
renovated and improved,
yards have ibeen widened
paved. In addition to what the
C.N.E. has been doing, exhibitors
have had their own crews prepar
ing space for the big show.
The C.N.E. management has left
nothing undone to make the first
peacetime Exhibition an accurate
repord of progress in the world of
today and tomorrow. Visitors will
see radar in action, television, jet
planes flashing across the sky, a
battery of 800 million candlepower
searchlights turning night into day,
the latest developments in automo
bile and railway travel, in refriger
ation, electronics and radio.
While there is emphasis on
scientific advancement, the C.N.E.
has not forgotten the importance of
other fields of human endeavor.
Canada’s agricultural wealth will
be on parade in the 24^ acre
Horse Palace, the Live Stock Pavi
lion (which has an arena seating
12,000 and is the world’s largest
exhibition building), and in other
buildings devoted to farm life,
prizes for agricultural displays
total $125,000 in value. Magnifi
cent exhibits of flowers and plants
will 'be- on view in the, Horticultural
building.
Manufacturers and retailers will
show their newest wares in such
buildings as the (Food Products, the
Manufacturerers ’, the Electrical
and Engineering, the General Ex
hibits, and many others.
There will be displays and com
petitions in the fields of art and
music. An old-time fiddlers’ con
test will entertain young and old
alike.
Once again the C.N.E. will be the
scene of the world’s professional
swimming championship races. Top
notch women swimmers will com
pete for a total of $5,000 in prizes
on August 27, and crack men swim
mers, including George Young, who
won the 15-mile marathon swim at
the C.N.E. in 19 30, will vie for a
total of $10,000 in a 10-mile con
test on August 29.
Dozens of other sports activities
have been arranged. Championship
teams will provide the best in soft-
ball. World champion speed boat
races will be staged on the Exhibi
tion waterfront. Thrilling aquatic
events are planned. Every kind of
sport may be .
and 'bait casting,
World famous
championships at
best in hunters,
ness horses from Canada and the
United States will compete at the
famous Horse Show. There will be
a three day cat show. A pigeon show
will appeal to many.
One of the most fascinating ex
hibits will be that of Hitler’s per
sonal armored car, which was seiz
ed 'by the French army at the time
of the fall of Berlin. There will
also ibe a display of automobiles
from France, as well as an exhibit
by the French government of vari
ous products, including perfumes,
textiles and wearing apparel.
For the first time in Canada, the
C.N.E. will show the production of
silk in an exhibit called “Silk,
From Egg to Fabric.” Visitors will
see silkworms spinning their co
coons, the reeling of the silk itself
and the subsequent weaving into
rich, lustrous fabric.
While in large part, the C.N.E.
is intended to educate and inform,
the management has n

Exhibition are worth $26,000,000.
It cost $1,500,000 a year to stage
the two week show, not counting
untold millions expended by exhib
itors. Floor space for exhibits cov
ers 2,250,000 square feet. The re
cord paid attendance for any two
week period was 2,039,000. The
C.N.E. expects this record will be
shattered in 1947—it won’t be sur
prising if the attendance exceeds
2,500,000.
R.A.F. “Dambuster" Squadron
Making its only Canadian ap
pearance, Britain’s famous R.A.F.
“dambuster’’ squadron will make
two half-hour appearances over the
Canadian National Exhibition, El
wood Hughes, general manager of
the C.N.E., has announced,
Mr. Hughes said that negotiation
have been under way for some time
to have the squadron appear at the
C.N.E. but final confirmation has
only just been received through the
co-operation of the R.C.A.F. The
squadron, formerly commanded by
the late Wing Commandei’ Guy
Gibson, V.C., carried out the dar
ing raids on the Moehne and Eder
dams in the Ruhr valley.
Flying 16 Lincolns—the might
iest of Britain’s heavy bombers—
the “dambusters” will demonstrate
formation flying and other man
oeuvres over the C.N.E. on the af
ternoons of Tuesday and Thursday,
September 2nd and 4th. The 7 0 of
ficers and 150 airmen making up
the flight will be entertained by
C.N.E. directors on Sept. 3 and
their planes will be (based at Tren
ton airport between appearances
over the Exhibition.
The squadron will fly to Toronto
from Washington where it will be
temporarily based during a good
will tour of the United .States.
