He] `S ; didn't think it was possible to get inl 9` I touch with Kentucky or any place so 'g,far away, so he checked up on the 3; message at Toronto and"found, to his `gratication that it was true. Message to Northern Wilds Radio is coming into various uses these days. The G. W. V. A. caughtI5 [,_ a message. last week going through,` 6 from Pittsburg, Pa., to Northern On- I Stario, where a Pittsburger with his , ,wife and family `were camping for iilthe _summer near Coppercli`. The, imessage contained the sad news that the camper s sister had passed away in Pittsburg. `Unable to reach him} 1- `by wire or by phone, his friends took I .. word of the death to one of the big t Pittsburg broadcasting stations and t thus the "message was ashed over-S miles and miles of ether to reach all llman in the wilds of- Northern On- l , tario,.who would otherwise not learn , l {of the sad occurrence until the Aendil .of his camping trip, .or until he reach- 1 I led the nearest telegraph point. is The'G.W.V.AX Radio Set" I? The radio set at` the Great War 9 i5Veterans headquarters, Mulcaster t i fstreet, is a powerful one, and cost in l t` ;the neighborhood of $150. It haslr i ;been installed for about two mbnths I 13 or more. Part of the apparatus con- !sists of a magnavox, which enlargeslf {the messages coming_in over the eth- !

Let s go ahead with work on Essa street and on Elizabeth street, and the question of which route is the best will be de- cided bythe `ratepayers. I don't see . -- - -o--~: ------ ----- ------ I I Deputy-Reeve Rusk referred to the` factrthatwhen Mr. Biggs was in Bar-! rie there was a big majority in favor? of Kempenfeldt street.

Reeve Fisher--I think it is a ques-. tion for'the ratepayers to decide atl `the .January elections. But it would! be `absolutely fair to Allandale and} , Barrie to proce_ed with those two sec-[ tions of the Highway we've just men-' tioned. It certainly ought to be: started this fall. ' - i ' Majority Favor `Blake Street I Mayor Little then called for a` show -\of hands to see which of the two routes was favored. There was! a big majority for Blake street. _ Would the Council be prepared to; go so far tonight as to accept the!

The bulk of the tourist traffic would` be over in -a couple of weeks and that [would mean a lot. Next spring traf-` c _would start early and it was up to the town to get as much of the roadi done this year while conditions are good. He thought that tenders ought to be called for`right awav to build ,the `two stretches mentioned. I 1...- -_- .- _. 6.,... uu \4\l uuvuv Ibo I ! Reeve `Fisher favored concreting! {that rpart of Elizabeth street men-I vtioned p1'eviousl_V and that part of Essa street between Bradford street` and Burton avenue. ' I; " At this point Mayor Little brought`! the argument back to the Biggs re-I Iport. Let`s get down to business ion this question, he said. f`This is I a big proposition and we want to de- i cide what we're going _to do about it. i 11-1 on Ald. Colessaid that the Depart- ment of Highways were indebted to! Simcqe County for the excellence of, one of the bits of Highway mention- ed by Ald; Byrne. At this spot the County had spent a lot of money im-ii proving the. road so that when the! {Province took it over it was already ! 'in excellent condition. , | ; Reeve Fisher pointed out_ that` comparisons _were unfair. For one: thing, the Province was in a position! [to spend tall" kinds of money on its-' roads, toisay nothing-of the time! mlaced at-the disposal of the High-[ {ways Department. As to the bit of 'Burton avenue referred to by Ald.l iB.yrne, Reeve Fisher said that only about a_ week's work was put on it,` iThe job was a hurry~up one and "it was put through at a time when the `road was in such condition in the, [spring that it was almost impassable. 5 `There wasn t nearly enough metal} `put on it to make a good` job of it.` AIJ f1,` ' While on his feet, Aid. Byrne tookl occasion` to say that the road work] 'done by town workmen in Barrie is` not nearly as good as that being done 1 on the Provincial roads just outside the town`. He didn't see why this is: .so. Hasn t the town the same equip_- l ment and` the same facilities? While` he 'didn t know where the blame 1ay,l `he was sure that those in. charge in] [Barrie didn t know how to constructi roads properly. He referred to a bad = ;spot _on Burton avenue, I -.-. i ...5.m.7._y. , .1 AM. B'yrne--But road work in the`! fall is not. nearly so satisfgctory as" I work done in early summer.` And it `would be well past the middle 'of' |October before actual work could} start. We're starting this work at] the wrong end of the year. j i 3 .... .. .-- _ Ald. Rusk believed it wrong to go "ahead with the proposition this year..! People Want Action This `brought a -reply from R`eeve `Fisher, who said he favored going `ahead with portions of the Highway! where the road is in bad shape. Not only that`, he believed that ninety per` cent. of the people of Barrie are an- xious tosee work commenced on th`e"l Highway. i K TA `IJ`.......... 'D..L __ _ J __, , I - (Continued from page 1') Ald. Byrne thought the Council should have a report concerning the oost `of the underground` work which would be necessary before the high- wa_y could be laid; He didn't think any gures except very general ones were available as far as Kemp`enfeIdt , was concerned, nor did heVthinl< that; [the Council is well enough posted on, conditions concerning parts of Kem`--I penfeldt street. As for Blake street, it is spongier in spots than the other route. _ _ ` LII w-. o . -. .

I ' Louisville, Kentucky, is a farcryl "from Barrie. Yet over the radio it's-` ,just next door. Last week Dick Hep- I pleston, radio expert, caught a mes-} sage from Louisville, which he be-` iieves constitutes a record for long -`distance radio-receiving in Ontario. It came all of 600 miles to .reach Barrie and was part of a radio con- cert being broadcas d by'the radio, man at the Louisvil e Courier-Jour- nal, whose call number is WHAS in radio language.
