In- Exhibition Wants Ancient Vehicles Ancient Horse-Drawn Equi- pages Soon To Be Seen on Parade In Exhibition Park The old grey mare is coming Into her own again! What with the government gasoline conserva- tion plan and everything, it looks as though the hoarse might eventu- ally replace the car. At least, so think C.N.E. agricultural officials. To that end they Intend to prove that In this second year of war the horse has a very real place in Can- adian life. Therefore, during the second week of the 1941 Canadian National Exhibition, it is announc- ed that there will be staged on various days yet to be designated, a parade of ancient horse-drawn vehicles through Exhibition Park. It is planned that these will include such old equipages as prairie wag- ons, pioneer carts, democrats, bar- ouches, victorias, calechps, hansom cabs, dog carts, etc., thus giving the young Canadian an insight into the modes of transportation with which his great-grandather and great-grandmother had to contend In the early days. Victorias, Barouches, Democrats The C.N.E. requests farmers and dwellers In the rural communities of Ontario who own such vehicles to get In touch with the agricul- tural section of the C.N.E., Lums- den Building, Toronto. The Exhibi- tion will pay all costs of transpor- tation of the vehicles to and from the C.N.E. if the owner will con- sent to the use of his property in these parades. It Is expected that in a number of cases collectors of ancient equip- ages attending the Exhibition will wish to buy vehicles exhibited, and If the owner is agreeable the C.N.E. will sell it for him. So, if In some obscure corner of your barn you have an old dog cart, victoria, or covered wagon, bring it out and take a look at it. It might be Just the thing the. C.N.E. is looking fyj-.
