week of attend film You mustbe resigned ta ing the Ex off and on for tbelllis unless you and your com past 40 years inevitably led me paalon for the day have like In to think back on those times The Ex has certainly changed It has become bigger and better too have changed having comma bigger but whether better or not is moot question With odvanc ing years perhaps my outlook has also altered attended the first ten or so of these outings with compila ion slightly younger than in years We had both been born in Toronto but had moved away at an early age while she had continued to live there How ever as far as interests lay they were pretty much along the same lines In those days we always took lunch with us and as we allt ways stayed for the evening grandstand performance we must also have taken our supper as well These luncheswere prac tically necessity for at that time there wasnt the infinite number of foods and drinks and places to buy them that exist today N0 F001 STANDS There were no hot dog stands no hamburgers no something other onra has no French fries or potatorchips To drinkthere was mostly lemonade or or angcade brightly colored but then as now rather tasteless it you searched around enough you might unearth ginger ale hut termilk tea or coffee but these were the exception rather than the rule imagine some of to days children not down in the Exhibition of 40 years ago wolle think it pretty poor place But we seemed to find lots of exciting and interesting things to do and perhaps be cause there was less to see we had more time to examine and study and absorb things Today we are so busy rushing here and there glimpse all this and glance at that try ing to see bit of everything that we end up with only con fused memory and tired body as the sum total of our outing and we have missed seeing somei of the very things that tempted us to go at all its not much ion going alone andif you go With someone else you naturally defer to their choices of places togoand things to see It inevl Itably happens that some of the thlngs that interestthem bevel no appeal for you at all so you fret and fume at what seems sheervaste of tithe and they In their turn get restless if you want to stop and look at some thing that holds no interest for EIIIIIII our Glasgow Shannon Dublin Jéé Sewide not More throilgh services Ca other airline with AVAILABLE loz nunlop at

passes for afternoon and evening grandstand performanc cs and even passes for many of the midway rides and shows Thus it was that we usually ap prqachcd the Ex gates with sev eral assorted passes clutched llglltly in our hot little hands Our first project was to find somewhere to park our lunches and our coats which our elders always lnslsted on as taking with us and withwhich we did nt want to be burdened till we needed them My friend had numerous acquaintances here and there over the grounds who were always willing to oblige and myself had cousin in ltbe CNR booth Evenif tinge people were not present on our appearance mention of their names instantly brought forth the desired invitation At other times we immediately made purchase at some place that provided large shopping bag In this we placed our lunches and our purses and thus rela tively unencumbered we pro ceeded on our way LOTS OF FRUIT in addition to our lunches fresh fruit in season was always on display and sale and
