Original Toronto Star caption: Children try out a high-flying Midway ride in special preview of the Canadian National Exhibition yesterday. CNE officials hope 3.5 million people will visit the Ex this year; and they expect parking headaches; pleading with patrons to arrive by bus; train; streetcar or even bicycle. Cylces are barred from the grounds; but there's a new; free parking lot for bicycles north of the Princes' Gates. And; even though the Ex is open; students will line up for jobs there. Requests for workers keep coming in throughout the 20 days the exhibition is open.
