CANADA'S ONLY MUSIC WEEKLY CENTS Week Ending April 22nd. 1961 15 -NATIONAL? With Expo '61 stealing some of the thunder from Toronto's Canadian National Exhibition, plans are apparently underway for the Toronto Fair to lean a little more toward the under 25 crowd. Many are wondering if the C.N.E. will continue its attitude of ignoring the rest of the nation and presenting only local talent. Perhaps the C.N.E. officials 4 could muster up enough courage to re -negotiate existing contracts and toss out those rules that restrict the percentage of non -local Canadian talent used but encourages the use of foreign talent. expo Volume 7, No. 8 Mr. John Holden, manager of upinthe Miss Teen International Pageant, will reign over the lair and publicityfor the Canadian National crown the new Miss -on August 31st.
