The shop windows of Barrie have never appeared to bett_er advantage than now. The individual, who has `not walked around the town recently, window.shopping, should do so to- night. Show windows are an educa- tional device of real merit. They in- struct as truly as the most carefully written textbook. `They aid us in our daily work by keeping us up-to-date, exhibiting the latest efforts of the dc,- signer, the manufacturer, the invent- or, the chemist and all the tribe of men who - move the world's cog-` wheels. And Barrie shop windows . rank high in this instructive effort. They show that Barrie has thegood. Dvv\.suuA\:uua_l cncvuuub. ` I This is just as it should be.

This is timely. Frequently there has been sharpcriticism of the police in Council meetings, which ' should have been voiced in commit- `. tee instead. `Such publicgcriticism ' has a ten.dency to `lower the prestige of the police with the citizens. Only ` when complaints made to committee V are_inefl ective should the` protest be carried to the Council. It is the duty not only-of the Council butvof the cit- I izens generally to lend the police sup- port. Many have been heard to ac-[ cuse the police of _inaction but when it is suggested that `they should give the police the benetof their know- ledge regarding some alleged wrong- . doing, the answer invariably is, That's not my job. If a ratepayer is not willing to help the police, he \ has no right to nd fault with the of- cers. ' _Only with the hearty support. , and co-operation of the'Council and , citizens can the police do their best i work. i 7 ' ` .` \ ILID IJIUIIIU l.aIUllo No charge of wrongdoing was pre- ferred against the police. The im- pression seemed to be that it was a case of omission rather than commis- sion. There have been numerous petty burglari_es, and it has been com- mon talk that bootleggers have been operating freely-in town. Whatever the police were doing -in these direc- tions, tangible results were not. very apparent. ` Dissatisfaction was ex- pressed in _many quarters that the. police were not getting the effects . desired, The result was that the pol- ice" had not behind them the force of public opinion necessary to ensure >. the greatest efficiency. Whether or not the reorganization,,./will bring more satisfactory conditions remains to be seen a T171, `:1 . rUII'A. 1 . _-. vv My -Jwvt When tiie new Chief takes hold he should be given-clearly to understand that the responsibility for law en- forcement rests on his shoulders, not- only for himself personally but for the other policemen. n.. 1Ul'.....J..-- ..:..L;_ ru.'__-,_,.. n"- -I I Poucr:-: REORGANI`ZAil'lON The reorganization of the police`.

The'con- iclusion reached was exactly what was advocated by a minority of the `Coun- cil when steps were being taken to ll the vacancy caused by the death of Chief King. A majority then de-i ecided to give Constable Case a trial as; head of the force.` He has been tried, apparently not to the satisfac- tion o;'f"the Council, and he is now put back in his former position, so he is_ no worse o than he was before his promotion.

Many people are coming to the same view, In Toronto parents have made complaints _to school principal in regard to the roughness of the game, some refusing to allow their boys` to play and others withdrawing them from the teams in the fear that might cripple. them for life. The movement is gaining such strength that it is anticipated that denite ac- tion will be taken by the rugby ex` . perts to make the game less dan'ger- . ous "for growing boys. ` V ' I I LGUDS, IIUI4 uimuuauuus.

It is very peculiar," said Deputy- Reeve Poucher, I spoke to;a number of Aldermen privately and they were all agreed that a change was needed in thepolice force, but some of them seem to have changed their minds since coming here.p V Force Overmanned . I have `advocated .reorganizatior of the police force all year, said Ald. Huxtable, and I will support the report of the committee, but l want to say that I think we are over- manned.\rAs Chairman of Finance, it is up_to me to keep-down expenses and I believe that three good police- men are able to take care of the pol- ice work and sanitary inspection too. We must look at the thing as we would our own business. I would have the constables work two twelve- hour shifts, one coming on duty at noon and the.other at midnight. If we bought them aivver for $450, one of them could cover more ground than four or ve men will cover on foot. You would also have the chief doing his own work and supervising the two constables. In this way we would save $700 or $800 a year. I hope that some time this -Council will adopt some such system to re- duce expenses and increase the ef- ciency of the force. Other towns do it, and I think we should." Protest Increases Ald.
