S. ATKEY A. L. COLQUHOUN Editor Plant Manager THURSDAY, AUGUST '26, 4948 . THE "EX." ' OPENS TO -MORROW so. long as most of us can remember, .the holdirng of the "Ex." each fall has been a noteworthy event in our lives, particularly when we were on the shady svde. of 4 8 years of age. it always has had an appeal that, seemingly, cannot be shaken, • " Throughout its distinguished career, the : Canadian National Exhibition, held annually inToronto except during the war years, not only has kept phce "•with the rapid develop- ment ,and expansion of this great country, but also has assum- ed the qualities of leadership. It has pointed the way to the far=seeing and resolute people of a virile young nation from the days of that nation's early 'struggles for recognition to the final .achievement of the full stature of nationhood. Its officers feel that the Exhibition this year is a striking reflection of _ the enterprise, resourcefulness and de- termination, of the Canadian people 'who, down through the years, have made the CNE world famous and who again have rallied to the cause of a still greater Canada. A British war hero who is reputed to be one of the greatest men in the Commonwealth, Rear Admiral Earl Mountbatten of Burma, will' formally open 1 the Exhibition Friday afternoon, August 27, at an impressive ceremony which will inaugurate 14 •days of unique education and entertain- ment at the• world's largest exhibition. His Excellency also will take the salute from•scores of. thousands of war veterans Canadian, British and American—Who will march in the thrilling Warriors' Day parade Saturday. NEWFOUND'. AND AND DSII= ENCE It will be only a. matter of time until Newfoundland becomes Canada's tenth province. That being so, how will this affect the broad picture of our national defence plans' in the next annual budget, it is certain that allocations will have to be made to include the setting up of air stations and possibly naval bases in Newfoundland, the Canadian Ordnance Association points out. The question is, will this be done at the possible risk of other projects in Canada suff- ering or will more money be found for this. As a military power in her own right, Newfoundland is negligible. She has few- manufacturing industries that could be converted into war production, and little or no military equipment of her own. Her greatest assets are natural resources, military bases and the well known fighting qualities of her rugged citizens. Again the thought arises how, when Newfoundland . becomes a part of Canada, will we.cope with the situation of United States troops and bases being located on our territory. It must be remembered that the United States was given a ninety-nine year lease on military and naval bases in the island colony by Great Britain. Will the acceptance of this establish a preredent of American 'troo}rs training in our country in peacetime? How will this be received by other nations, and will Canada's prestige as a free nation'suffer accordingly? Canada's defence resources are very much limited At the present time, and the entry of Newfoundland into the Dominion will serve to aggravate this problem. More than . ever it is brought home to us, the necessity of revising our nat- ional defence plans and increasing our stature in this vitally important matter. ...,....-......00 ..,1111,400...e.'''-. .. ....-.... CRAYFISH AND FIGHTING BASS "De crawfish in a hurry look like he's tryin' to git thar yestiddy," So Negro -wit describes the way crayfish swim back - "yard's with spasmodic haste. Whether known as craw- fish, crawdad or crayfish, this crustacean is a curious creature with a highly complex anatomy Featuring many useful appendages. To study its multiple legs and jaws, a Toronto x-ray worker examined a live specimen" under the inquisitive rays recently, and was fascinated. He wrote to Prof. J. R. Dymond, icthyologist at the Royal Ontario Museum of Zoology, enclosed one of the x-ray pictures, and asked for information about the usefulness—if any—of the species so common in Ontario. Of special interest t0 anglers, here is the answer received: "Crayfish form, an important element of food of some species of fish, notably the small -mouth black bass. Dr. A. L. Tester examined the stomach contents of 98 adult bass of Georgian Bay and found that 75 percent of then had eaten crayfish which constituted 71.7 per cent of the food by volume. In the case of '106 Lake Nipissing bass, crayfish grade up 79 per cent by volume of the food found in the stomachs. Three species of crayfish were eaten in each of these waters. Dr. W. E. Ricker in his paper on 'Feeding habits of speckled trout tri Ontario waters' says crayfish are an important food of trout in warmer streams, less important in ponds and lakes, Cray- fish are sometimes eaten in considerable numbers by sturgeon." Angers --take off your hats to the crayfish! { ° EDITORIAL COMMENT 'Thought for To-day—Democracy does not depend on what i think about the country; it depends on what 1 do about it. • 0 0 0 When is the formal opening of Clinton Public Hos- pital going to be announced? © © 0 'in most cities and towns in Ontario, the legal speed limit is 30 miles an hour.
