THE CANADIAN

NOTES

INTER NATIONAL TRADE FAIR

By J. A. Clltk, D36. '

The seventh 'Canadian Interna- tional Trade Fair was held in Exhibition Park, Toronto, from May Slat to June llth, 1954. We had had the good fortune to at- tend the first of these Trade Fairs. as the representatives of the Charlottetown Board of Trade. and on behalf of the Government of Prince Edward Island. That first Canadian Trade Fair exceed- ed all expectations in the number of countries that sent exhibits; the amount of business that was transacted by most of the firms placing exhibits. and in the very large attendance of interested tradesmen and visitors irnm over- seas and from the American na- tion to the south. On visitnrs' day. the attendance from Toronto and nearby areas jammed all means of transportation tn and from the Exhibition Grounds.

We have visited several of the Canadian Trade Fairs since. but when we wont on Saturday, June 5th. a t'i.sitors' day. the crowds were so great that it was diffi- cult to get from one booth to another. A light rain was falling. but nothing scented to dampen the enthusiasm of the crowds that filled the exhibition areas Nos. W1. W2. El and E3. We never did get to areas E4 or E-1M, which wore on the far side of Jubilee Boulevard.

. . .

We if'iilll4"fi that this )cai' there were 1930 l1ooti'ts and H23 ex- hibitors. The Tr:-idc Fair Cata- olgue was carefully prepared, giv- ing location with number of aisle and information concerning each booth and firm that was using ii. in a clossifioti list of exhibits. The exhibitors were also listed in alphabetical order. This made it easy for the visitor to find the booths he wanted to see.

As we were iCaYilliZ the recep- tion area in the Coliseum. we met Mr. W. E Agnew. and learn- ed that the Maritime Provinces Exhibit wits upstairs in Booths 1598-1602 Later. when we called to soe thrm. we missed getting in the picture of the P. E. island houtii. that xtas shown in the Sliarlrtttciviwii Gtiarriian of June lfith. The island hnnfh formed the centre piece of the Maritime Oxhihil. with the New Brunswick exhibit on the left and the Nova Srotia exhibit on the right. it was iiiccly arranged. and on the right hiid a large picture of a magnificent full bloom The Prince Edward island coat of arms was placed on the back wall in the centre of the booth. undcr the headings:

”Visit The Island this summer”

and ”The Garden of the Gulf.” e . .

Mr. ltzticw and Miss Ethel

Brown were at tho booth present- ing the attractions offered by our province, They were pleased to renew the sutinly of road maps and tourist litcrature of P. E. is- land that we had socurttd from "he Tourist. Rure'iu before lear- inu, Charlottetown. to leave with the service station operators wherever we socurod gasoline.

At a iliiIi'lE station near the sritith entrance to the great Cantilever Cap Rouge Bridge at Qiir-bi-c. the operator said he had lo-or-n ono of the men who worked

in the caisson: as they were sunk for the foundation of the Hills- borough Bridge at Charlottetown; and asked about friends he had met when here at that time. He is a fine, sturdy type of man. and was particularly pleased to get Island maps and pamplets. and hopes to visit The Island some time. He ' 1! been at the ibuilding of many great bridges. land is greatly interested in their construction. We were sorry we could not stay longer with him. . . .

Compared with the first and other Trade Fairs we have seen at Toronto. this year's fair seem- ed to exceed in every way the former ones. Its success means that other fairs will follow, and dates have been set for the next six years .for twelve days in each iyear. from about the last of May inn. There were nine European trade fairs advertised. to take place this year. and three next year in the Trade Fair Cattl- logue.

Canada now ranks third in the world aviation jet age. and tits three big Canadian aircraft man- ufacturers: A. V. Roe. Canada. Ltd.. Toronto. Canadian Ltd.. Montrealwand Del-laviland Air- craft of Canada Limited To- ronto. had exhibits that iadded much interest to the Fair. 1C-eneral Electric, however, had on display in the west Annex, I cutaway model of their 3,200 lb. J47 engine. that is used in the Sabre Jets. The moving pprts were visible. and they were paint- ed with bright colours. so that the action of the many parts could be seen. Visitors were allowed to set the engine working by pres-

sing a button on the control panel. It was seldom idle. The Iengine is said to develop 10,000

is new starter for airplane en-

i gines that will raise the engine to starting speed in nine seconds.

iwhere former starters took 45 minutes. We noted the very fine display by the Maritime Cen- tral Airways. offering to move ”Anything. Anywhere."

. . . Some other exhibits that at-

tracted our attention were: The carpets. tapestries, lace work, .silver ware etc.. from India. An ilndian novelty was a stream of i black tea to demonstrate their :n- inual export of 21,000,000 pounds of tea. We saw the great lathe: and metal working machines from Germany. that worked with metals almost as wood working machines do with wood. Among others. I metal-cutting saw was' cutting the end off I five-inch ,axle. There were half-inch drills

that drilled ten holes in one op- eration. etc. Austria was said to have spent 545.000 on their ex- hibit.

Manitoba occupied 2.400 feet of

space. to make the greatest dis- play they have ever attempted in Eastern Canada. Among their exhibits was a precision-made. lhigh-powered microscope. and a radiation detector, 290 times as powerful as a geiger counter. cal- led a "scintiilometer." Morocco Ishowed its famous leather work (of portfolios and writing pads, lsome high lighted by gold inlay. Ontario had immense displays and claimed to be Canadals in- dustrial heartland. its productive capacity for manufactured pro- ducts is said to be equal to that iof the nine other Canadian prov- i ilices.

A mobile office unit, 29 feet long was sold at the Fair by General Coach Works of Canada, for S3,-

Acciiiont NI8IlIt8' t In Medical History I

but although Dr. Beaumont made every effort to bring the flash back together. the opening in St. Mar- tln's side never healed over. It.-left a tube-like passage into his body. making it necessary for him to well: a compress over the opening.

Despite this "lid" on his atom- aoh, St. Martin lived for 64 years -sometimes rambunctiouslyvgot. married, fathered at least four children, and died at B3.

For several of these years, Dr. Beaumont used the opening an A "window" to study what was going on inside St. Martin's stomach. He became the first researcher to study the process of digestion is a living human.

After the experiments were com- pleted, st. Martin returned to Que- bec, where he led an active life in the parish of St. Thomas do Joli- ette. Dr. Beaumont published the findings which brought him fame.
