TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNICATIONS YEAR
This year's Canadian National Exhibition will look to the future as
well as the past and present. In the National Industries' Building
there will be both a complete television studio in operation and de-
monstrations of facsimile broadcasting. In a completely new Pavil-
ion of Industrial Chemistry there will be puppet shows staged tell-
ing tike story of the way in which scientists of today may use agri-
cultural products of today to create scares of new materials not yet
known to roan.
INDUSTRY
Action in displays, with a defin-
ite trend towards exhibits which
tell the story behind a product,
appears to be the picture which
visitors to the Canadian National
Exhibition will see this year, ac-
cording to officials who have been
close to the preparations being
made by many industries.
The old style exhibit, with a
counter and a definite impression
that something was being offered
for sale, has been displaced, ad-
vertising experts state, by displays
which have plenty of movement,
and which reveal what the modern
producer does to provide better
products at lower prices. For this
reason, they state, this year's ex-
hibition will offer a more intrigu-
ing and interesting study for visi-
tors who look over the commercial,
as well as the feature, exhibits.
NEW FARM EQUIPMENT
Possibility that the much-dis-
cussed new farm tractors, which
have intrigued automotive and ag-
ricultural interests recently, may
be unveiled publicly at the Cana-
dian National Exhibition, has been
indicated by rumours prevalent as
the opening date of the exhibition
nears.
Following private previews of
the new low-priced models, which
are reported to embody revolution-
ary advancements in design which
permit very, close small-scale op-
erations, one manufacturer at
least has reserved much larger
space than in previous years. Re-
cently, it has been stated, one oth-
er manufacturer also plans to
present the new model produced
by his firm.
LUCKY TETER AND HIS
DRIVING DAREDEVILS
For a longer visit than they
have ever paid to Canada before,
Lucky Teter and his Congress of
Daredevils will come to the Cana-
dian National Exhibition this year
to stage their sensational display
of hair-raising driving of motor-
cars and motorcycles. The show
will be staged daily in front of
the grandstand, with a two-hour
program of stunts.
Teter, who has starred in sever-
al movies built around his show
and who lectures on safe driving,
will repeat his demonstrations of
one -hand driving of a car which
plunges over obstacles, driving a
car over a ramp which is wreath-
ed in flames, jumping a car over
a truck and rolling a car end -
over -end a half dozen times. His
show will include the full crew
of 58 drivers and mechanics who
carry with then a fully -equipped
repair shop, body -straightening
equipment and welding shop.

ROYAL CANADIAN MOUNTED
POLICE TO PARADE
For the first time in its lengthy
history, Canada's famous ' police
force, the Royal Canadian Mount-
ed Police, will stage the first par-
ade of a full detachment through
the streets of Toronto when they
inaugurate the opening of the Ca-
nadian National Exhibition by rid-
ing to the City Hall. The detach-
ment will be made up of the men
who acted as special guard of hon-
our to the Bing and Queen during
Their Majesties' visit to the New
York World's Fair.
The detachment will be accom-
panied by the first brigade of pip-
ers ever assembled in Canada.
This brigade will be'niad.e utr-Of
the Toronto Scottish, the 48th
Highlanders, the Royal Irish Regi-
ment, the Seaforth Highlanders,

rines of Plymouth who will de-

Softness is, the keynote of the
new millinery.' Many hats have'
semi -fitted high crowns which are .`
softly draped or manipulated.
Turbans are intricately wrapped.
Berets, which shoot high, are tuck-
ed or shirred. Brims are narrow
or visor -like. Tiny ostrich pitunos
and flat wings are the most popu-
lar ornamentation.

Glen Gray who brings his Casa
Loma orchestra to the Canadian
National Exhibition as one of the
five famous modern-musie aggre-
gations to be heard this year, be -
qui his climb to international ra-
dio fame in Ontario. When the
famous Pellatt castle on Toronto's
hill was first turned into a public
building and became, briefly, a ho-
tel, a group of youngsters arrived
to provide the music. This same
group, now older, now celebrated
as smooth experts in slippery tem-
po, come back again carrying the
Casa Loma name still, souvenir of
the engagement that started 'them
to the heights.
