Swine and sheep will go under the auctioneer's hammer. Also up for sale will be many of the beef and pork carcasses which have hung in the fair's huge glassed-in refrigerators. Largest horse-show audience of the fair to date filled the Coliseum to the walls Monday night to greet the Governor-General and rady Alexander on their first visit to the fair, Nineteen-year-old Kenneth Mec- Kinnon of 'Hillsburgh stepped up to receive for the second successive time his 50 guineas, - the historic prize inaugurated by King Edward VII, from the hands of Viscount Alexander. Ken was the owner of Danny Boy--more formally, Triumph of Sunny Slope--the Aberdeen-Angus steer which he raised on his faih- er's 250-acre Wellington County farm to win the grand champ.ci- ship of all steers entered by 96 members of Ontario's boys' and girls' Calf Clubs. He also walked off with the Ken- nedy Trophy, given him by On- tario's Premier T. L. Kennedy for is steer. So Later in the evening an auction sale, held in the crowded arena, added $2,760 to his King's guineas when Danny Boy sold for $3 a pound. It was considerably less than the $10,030 which he took home last year from the showing and sale of another prize Angus, Torchy. Three other grand champions of the show went on the auctioneer's block Monday night before the silk- hatted, even-gowned audience in the box-seats. Cannonball, grand champion steer of the show, sold for $6 a pound, bringing his owner, Lloyd Mack of Rockwood, a total of $5,280. The cutest lamb in the show-- and its grand champion--was sold for $400 by its owner, W. J. Brodie of Stouffville. Earl B., Zavitz of Alvinston, saw his grand champion hog go under the hammer at $1.50 a pound. Picked as Canada's most promis- ing half-bred three-year-old hunt- er, Camside Export won the Gover- nor-General"s cup for her owner, J. E. Jeffery of Hyde Park.

Ballard on Skip Across, was forced into a tie for fourth place with France's best, Maj. Pierre de Mapeou. . : First instance of serious sickness ong livestock exhibits occurred during the week-end, and by Mon- day two of the show cattle had died.

They are --Globe and Mail Photo Naval Depot Opened To Reporters Halifax, Nov. 23--(CP)--A shroud of military secrecy surrounding a 700-ton arsenal of high' explosives was whisked aside here Monday for a few hours and a party of jit- tery outsiders got a look at"the safest place in the World to work." Huddled in sheltered Bedford Basin, the ammunition dump--Bed- ford Magazine--could blow this city to smithereens, and one terror- haunted night in 1945 many thought that was going to happen when explosives let go with an earth-shaking blast that rocked the old port to its foundations. Scars of that holocaust can still be seen. It was the Navy's idea to relax for a day security measures and a band of newspaper men and civic officials were led through rooms piled high 'with destruction. They saw tiers of aerial bombs--1,000- pounders, stacked in rows, shells and mortar rockets. With grim memories of tne 45 blow-up in mind--it killed one man and levelled one-third of the built- up area--the Navy is storing all explosives behind walls. Each storage and laboratory building is surrounded by tower- ing concrete traverses, or abut- ments, built recently. Theory offer- ed by G. M. Luther, superintendent of the Naval Armament Depot, is that : should a blast oceur, inten- tionally weakened roofs, strength- ened walls and the abutments would direct the main force of the explo- sion upwards. There are 120 workers--all civil- ians--and they wear special cloth- ing and soft-soled shoes to circum- vent possibility of sparks setting off munitions. In a second unexpected move, the Navy also relaxed for a day secur- ity measures on the closely-guard- ed sprawling Naval Armament De- pot on the harbor's eastern shore. The $100,000,000, 120-acre muni- tions base is closed to "unrestrict- ed travel." NAUTICAL COINCIDENCE Montreal--(CP)--Victor Bourque, 16-year-old Montreal cadet officer on a "steamship, returned from his first voyage at the same age and on the same day of the same month as his father set out on his first voyage 22 years ago. Czech Refugee Fund Set Up Ottawa, Nov. 23--(CP)--Under chairmanship of Senator Cairine Wilson, a Canadian fund for Cze- choslovak refugees has been set up to assist people who have fled that country since the beginning of the Communist regime, About 15,000 refugees are now living in camps in the western zones of Germany and Austria, a statement by the fund committee says. Of these, Canada has agreed to take .1,000, the United States 2,000, and others will go to Central and South American countries. They come from all walks of life. "The first wave of refugees in- cludes several.-cabinet members and about 40 M.P.s, professional people, tradesmen, students and laborers," the statement says. A few of the students have been accepted into Canadian Universities but they will need financial assistance. More tra- gic is the fate of the older people who are suffering for their belief in freedom and democracy for the second time within a decade." The fund is seeking to raise $30,000 to assist the refugees, particularly those Canada-bound. Treasurer is R.. B. Macfarlane, Toronto. ! DON'T HEAR "NUMBER, PLEASE"... If you don't hear "Number, please" as quickly as usual during the power cut-offs, it's because telephone lines in Oshawa are buzzing with conversation. "rush-hours", operators find that all their answering- cords are in use, and when further calls are flashed on the board they are unable to answer them until some- one hangs up. We're doing our very best to put your calls through quickly. But as long as the volume during power cut- offs continues so far above normal, we just can't avoid delays. We're looking forward to the end of the emer- gency, just as you are--and in the meantime, we do appreciate your patience. A. A. GILLESPIE, Manager. During these Ex-Chief At Port Hope Is Under Arrest Port Hope, Nov. 23--Ernest Pur. dy, who resigned last August as chief of Port Hope : Police De- partment, was arrested yesterday on a charge of theft by Chief W. Graham, his successor. This was the second arrest of police officials since Graham took office. Purdy appeared in rort Hope court this afternoon on 13 charges alleging theft of fines and costs covering the period January, 1948, to July, 1948. He was remanded in custody without plea and later was released on bail of $1,000. . On Nov. 12, Graham arrested Bert Warren, a police sergeant on the force, just 12 hours after dis- missing Warren. The charges against Warren concerned theft of gasoline from a taxi firm over a three-month period. He was releas- ed on $1,000 bail. Chief Graham said the arrest of Purdy followed a joint investigation with Inspector Alex "MacLeod of the CIB in Toronto. Purdy joined the force in Nov- ember of 1946 and resigned August of this year. The charges against him involved 11 counts of theft of $12.50 each and two of $25 for a total of $187.50 and they are said to represent fines and costs belong- ing to the Corporation of Port Hope. PRIVATE ENTERPRISE Edmonton, Nov. 23--(CP)--Priv- ate enterprise will continue genera- tion and distribution of electricity in Alberta.

They passed a resolu- tion recommending that only first- Ontario Crop Production In 1948 Exceptionally Good Crop production in Ontario during | soil moisture for ploughing opera was exceptionally good, says the monthly crop report of the Depart- ment of Agriculture. Total grain production is estimated at 180,630,- 000 bushels as against 106,000,000 bushels in 1947, and the preceding 10-year average out-turn of 156,- 000,000 bushels. Corn for ensilage yielded 3,996,000 tons of fodder as against 2,973,000 tons last year, and a previous ten-year average of 3,- 132,000 tons last year, and a prev- ious ten-year average of 3,132,000 tons. The output of hay and clover amounted to 5,750,000 tons as against 6,154,000 tons in 1947, and an average yield of 5,001,000 tons during the ten years 1937-1946. Al- falfa also yielded well with this year's crop estimated at 1,824,000 tons as compared with 1,347,000 tons last year, and an average of 1,831,000 tons in the previous ten- year period. The total output of hay and clovers, alfalfa, and corn for ensilage, amounts to 11,570,000 tons, which is considerably larger than in any recent year, Although drought conditions during Septem- ber necessitated general stable feed- ing of milk cows, this season's bum- per production of fodder crops will ensure ample winter supplies of forage except in three or four coun- ties which had very poor yields of fodder corn this season. Potatoes, sugar beets, and tobac- co, all yielded extraordinary well despite the September drought. Po- tato production is placed at 20,409,- 000 bushels, and represents the largest output since 1924. Sugar beets benefitted greatly from late rains and the 18,400 acres of har- vested beets is experted to yield 180,000 tons of beets averaging 17.3% sugar content. The open Fall permitted full harvesting of to- bacco crops and the output of all types is now estimatetl at approxi- mately 110,000,000 pounds, the sec- ond highest crop on record. Weather conditions between Oc- tober 8th and November 15th, were most satisfactory. Frequent rains, together with warm weather and absence of frosts throughout Old Ontario were of great value to agri- grade cheese be exported. culture, Rainfall provided ample tions, and although only a small percentage was done during Sep- tember and the first week of Octob- er, most farmers have now been able to complete this work, Pastures were revived considerably and pro- vided outside food for young cattle and feeder cattle. This year's seed- lings of hay and clover crops were greatly benefit .« and will enter the winter in fairly good condi- tion. The crops which benefitted most from the open Fall were, of course, fall wheat and fall rye. A large percentage of these crops were seeded very late this Fall. The early seeded acreage germinated very slowly and made poor early growth. Most of the acreage, how- ever, had developed a fairly good top by November 15th, and has a very good chance of surviving through the winter. 'Toboggan' May Assist Rangers Toronto, Nov. 23--(CP)--A sum- mer toboggan may help rangers fight forest fires in Northern Ont- ario next year. Pg The equipment, almost ready for tests, has been developed by the Lands Department's research divi- sion to overcome the difficulty of transferring equipment from a truck, boat or plane to the firelines. Equipped with a track tread and steered with handles similar to those on a dogsled, the summer to- boggan can be operated by one man. It has a four-cycle six-horsepower engine with a slip clutch and is de- signed to have a speed of about three miles an hour. Carrying a load of about 600 pounds, it will re- place the oldtime pack and tump line. HEAVY YIELD Edmonton -- (CP)--A single vine yielded 18 clusters of grapes in the North Edmonton garden of D. W.
