Original Toronto Star caption: This dopey but cheerful-looking creature; getting a final check-up from 17-year-old Joe Corbone; is part of a new ride at this year's Canadian National Exhibition; which opens tomorrow. Train; with grinning buck-toothed caterpillars for carriages; will worm its way over a rolling track and through a huge apple. But most of the familiar rides will be back - nothing's changed much at good old Ex.
