CANADA'S 011I AROMAIIC PIPE IOBAcCO OR ei LONG MIAMI MIS THAN wARnmo 9 JUST two years ago we were serving 975,00 telephones. There are now 120,000 more telephones and as a result Long Distance calling has steadily increased even though the war is over. Actually the volume of calling is now about 100% higher than when the war began. That's why it is so helpful when you observe the proper sequence, as shown below, in making Long Distance calls. We are building new lines and new switchboards but it will take some time to get them into use. In the meantime we'll appreciate your help and understanding, especially if your call is delayed. WHEN YOU PLACE a Long Distance Call FIRST, give the operator the name of the distant city ... THEN, the telephone Dumber of your party... THEN, when the oper- ator asks it, your own telephone number. - ' ' ' ,IV..,-.-,1.-,•- --q II 1 t----4"*1 1 . 1 ,,,,z sgrao- ,, ,4itailfit -..'.--;-:------ 4-444111{ki mAteTO PLAN A TRIP AGAIN" Now you can plan a trip for yourself and your family and know that, via Canadian National, comfort and pleasure will be yours every mile of the way.

Leatherdale's Blue Again Scores, Startling Upset at . Arcadia Arcadia, Californian, May 19th.—A 13 to 1 outsider from Canada, Blue Again, owned by R. W. Leatherdale, of Windsor, Ontario, defeated a crack field of pacers, by 1% lengths Satur- day, in the $50,000 11/2 mile Western Harness Grand Pace closing day feat- ure of the Santa Anita grand circuit meet. Blue Again was clocked in the world record time of 2. 21/2 a full .sec- ond under the former mark set by Phil O'Neil in 1925. Driven by Jim Cruise the Canadian Caperer came on top at the far turn and held off stretch bids by Red Streak and ,Doctor Brodie to win the richest race ever offered pacers. Blue again paid $28.20, $12.60 and $7.80 while Dr. Brodie returned for show. Cloudy skies kept the crowd to 21,118 but failed to dampen wager- ing which hit a single race high of $156,491 for the big event, The win was worth $20,000 to Lea- therdale while Red Streak brought S. A. Camp and Wm, Lachemaier of Shatter, California, $12,000 for second. Saunders Mills Stables, of Toledo, Ohio, received $6,000 for Doctor Brodies third. Eddie Havens co-fav- ored with Brown Prince at 3-1 brake down at the 1/2 mile. Brown Prince set the pace for the first three quarters then faded. April Star, also well up in the early going but once the Canadian six-year-old put on the pressure it was no contest, A -$5,000 consolation race at 1 114 miles for 13 original nominees for the grand pace was won by Ensign Han- over, three-year-old Ace of Lexington, Ky., which has lost only one heat in 27 starts during the sparkling two year career, The mutual handle for the eight race programme totaled $888,338, another harness racing record, The above item copied from Satur- day's edition of a London Daily will be of interest to many in this district, as the Trainer of "Blue Again", Mr. Win. Fraser, is a native of Turnberry, a brother of Mrs, Joseph Lovell, Mr. Fraser is a lover of horses and has for years trained and driven race horses many of them winners, A few years ago, he trained and drove the pacing Champion at Exhibition Park, Toron- to. which Canadian Recdrd, so far has not been beaten. Mr. Fraser left for Hollywood in February. The Santa- Anita race tracks are said to be the most beautiful in the world. This is the first harness races that have. been held west of the Mississippi. 800 hor- ses were entered in the series. It is indeed a great Honor that a Canadian horse should win the sweepstakes.
