Veteran Showmen Feature This Year's Exhibition

A record of 46 consecutive years attendance as an exhibitor. At the Provincial Exhibition is that of A. Macllae and Sons of Central Roy- alty whose Ayshire herd of Cattle will again be among the large entry 0 livestock which has taxed the Fair facilities to overflowing.

The late Andrew Macltae with his sons, Major and Fred began showing cattle at the Provincial Fair in 1910 and have been there every year since. They have usual- ly found time from a busy sched- ule to take a number of their entries to the Maritime and Tor- onto Fairs each year.

Three years ago the Macllae brothers began making separate entries. Today Major Macilae ex- hibits his herd under the original name of A. MacRae' and Sons while Fred MacRae joined with his son to exhibit under the name of Andrew B. and Fred T. Macllae.

Perhaps the greatest thrill in cattle breeding came to the Mac- Rae's in 1911 when their "Milk- maid" the second made the world's record for an Ayshire Cow. She produced a little over 11.000 lbs. of milk in that year. Of course the world's record today is higher than that 15.000-18.000. However it was a world's record of which they may well be justly proud.

Major Macllae today keeps a hard of 80 Ayrshires. And has an average of 25 milking cows each year.

IUIY WEEKEND

It was a busy weekend for fed- eral livestock fieidmen. u.w. Clay and L.W. Roper, who are in charge of allocating space to livestock ex- hibltors. i

In spite of the fact that exhibitor facilities have been enlarged from year to year. Saturday saw Mr Roper scratching his head trying to squeeze in late comers. As a matter of fact he reluctantly had to turn some away when their application did not arrive until it was too late to find space.

HEAVY JERSEY ENTRY The Jersey exhibit this year sur-

passes at previous years with a total of 150 entries from 14 farms.

Mr. Campbell Maclfay of Rathe-

exhibit, including his 510,500. ”Kingshurst Mllady Zinia". This seven gear old cow was purchased at th "Marin" choice sale held last April in New Jersey. She is the highest priced cow ever to be brought to Canada.

Her dam. ”Advancer Marlu" is the holder of four medals of merit and has had three consecutive 1,000 lb. fat records. One son and two daughters have an averageof 11,530 milk. 622 int.

"Kirigshurst Milady Zinla" an exhibit here is the first Canadian cow that has ever come from 1,000 lb. dam. Mr. Campbell has been guaranteed 32,500 for each of her calves, male or female. Mr. James Forret is th5 herdsman in charge of the Campbell 15 head exhibit.

THIS EGYPTIAN IS OPTIMISTIC

LONDON (AP)-One of ma, "1083 Olltimistic men in taln Sunday night was Khalid smy. tourist attache at the Egyptian Embassy. He was working as usual.

While British firms in Egypt prepared airlifts to bring home wives and children of em- ployees, Asmy said he had been instructed by Cairo to tell any interested tourists:

"There is no reason whatso- ever for anyone cancelling their visit to Egypt."

To London Conference

CAIRO (AP) -- Gamsl Abdel Nasser gave an emphatic "No" Sunday to the British - proposed London conference on the Suez Canal. But he left the door open for negotiation by Ill Dosing an- other conference to suarantee freedom of the canal.

Seated on the speaker's rost- rum in Parliament directly in front of the spot where King Fa- rouk once sat, the president quietly pleaded Egypt's case for nationalization of the ,canal to more than 300 ndwllllller men from all parts of the world.

Dressed in a blue civilian suit with a light blue tie, Nasser en- tered the domed. air-conditioned Parliament auditorium under a barrage of floodlights while tel- evision cameras wlllrred. He re ceived several mlnutea applause.

Unamillng, he sat down and read in clear English a 12-page statement comprising the Egypt- ian reply to the British confer- encelinvitation. Greece also has declined to attend.

Nasser read the statement un- dramatically, even underplaying

his declaration that the London invitation is unacceptable to Eg- ypt and his counter-offer of a con- ference for reaffirmation of the i888 convention guarantee- ing freedom of the canal.

ALWAYS OWNED CANAL When he finished the statement however. he pushed aside his pre-

and began an of."-the-cuff com- ment on what he called the back- ground to this statement. '

Nasser stressed heavily the dif- ference between the old Suez Canal Company and the Suez Canal itself.

"The British press says iNasser grabbed the canal. tNasser seized the canal' or that Nasser na- tionalized the canal,'” he said. "But this is all untrue because Egypt always has owned the canal. It is part of our territory. We nationalized the canal com- pany which is an Egyptian com- pany under Egyptian law."

He ridiculed the idea that the old canal company guaranteed freedom of navigation in the

canal. Nasser grew deadly serious on

the subject of any British-French threat to use force against Egypt.

"In war nobody knows who will

win," he said. "Those who begin wars do not know where they will end. We are only a small country

but we are determined to defend

our rights to the last drop of our pared text, looked at the crowd blood. '

SEES TEST CASE

"If we lose this struggle it will mean that no small nations are free. It will mean that any time small nations act against the wishes of big nations there will be mobilization threats and econ- omic pressure. This is not Egyptis case alone but the case of all mail countries everywhere. We are struggling to help them keep

their dignity, rights and sover-

elgnty."

Nasser was asked whether he would agree to a United Nations guarantee of freedom of naviga- tion of the canal.

"The most effective and import-

ant gurantee is that given by the

Egyptian government and the Egyptian people," he replied.

The Egyptian leader said he noted with complete surprise that Britain called the 24-nation con- ference, due to open Thursday. "without any consultation with Egypt. the country whom the matter concerns.”

COUNTER-PROPOSAL

Nasser said, however, that "be- ing determined to spare no effort in preserving international peace," his government is willing to sponsor a conference of all powers concerned in the free use of the I03-mile waterway.

This would include all govern- ments that signed the Constantin- ople Treaty of 1886. The treaty, ratified by Egypt and nine other nations. guaranteed free move- ment of ships of all nations through Suez in peace or war.

Other governments whose ships pass through the canal would be invited to take part under the Egyptian plan. No date or place was suggested for this meeting.

PRICE Sc

Plan

ference would be "for the lAll"' pose of reviewing the Constantin- ople convention and considering the conclusion of an agreement between all these government! reaffirming and guaranteeing the freedom of navigation on the Sue: Canal.

"That agreement would be refs istered with the secretariat of till United Nations and published by it.

"The dloior would: b:1 left one! for the a ereuce o 0 er govern- ments to that aueemeht I'll!!!- ever required." a"

The ys9SidEIII also disclosed that Egypt decided to nationalize the canal after the United States and Britain had refused to fl- nance the 31,300,00o.000 Aswan high dam, the project on which Nnsser's government has staked its prestige.

Answering a reporter's question Nasser said his government "thought about the Suez Canal 2'6 years ago"-but the decision was taken after the withdrawal of aid offers by thegU. S. and Brit-

Nasser said his proposed con- sin
