Cameron Kester, editor of the Elmira Signet. I-Te had'held important editorial positions on the Quebec Daily Telegraph and on the Kitchener Daily Telegraph, but his health becoming impaired he had to seek less exacting duties and so it came about that he became editor of the Signet published in the village of Elmira. Despite the uphill battle which he had to ght in a vain effort to -"win back his health--a struggle which he fought witha stout heart and cheerful spirit-'-he turned out one of the `most attractive papers of its size in the province. Many read- ers of The Examiner will remember Mr. Kester, who spent much of his boyhood days in Barrie. His sterling qualities won to him many warm friends, by whom his early demise is greatly regretted. - SNOV should P555101 SQ`?!

Lake I Simcoe as summering places. Thirty 1 years ago cottages were few and land 3 in choice locations could be purchased -: for forty to fifty cents a foot, with I no rush of; purchasers even at that _ price. Today there are hundreds of cottages along these shores and what , land is available is -worth from ten ; to twenty-ve dollars per foot of frontage. General use `of _the auto- mobile and improved highways have been two of the main factors in bring- ing summer residents in ever-increas- ing numbers to the beautiful shores and limpid waters of Kempenfeldt Bay and Lake Simcoe, which are now "within two hours of driving from To- ronto.' With telephonic communica- tion easily available, a mail -service that reaches them early in the after- noon, regular delivery of upplies fromiBarrie orjnearby villages`, golf courses, bowling greens, tennis courts, movies, dancing pavilions and other attractions within easy reach by cars, the summerresidents may vary the quiet restfulness of a holi- day amid delightful surroundings, `if they so desire. In the last few years especially there has been a very rapid growth in the summer colonies along these shores. Most residents of Bar- rie and district are aware of this in a general way, yet it is safe to say tha comparatively few really real- ize he extent 'of this growth.- '.-The object of these articles is not only to show how many summer neighbors we have but who they are and where they have their summer habitation, so that we may become better ac- quainted as opportunity offers. The `Busy Man Montreal Herald: There is a reason why one should patronize the busy man and workman whoahas a job. The busy man gs [busy because he has earned a reputation of giving'se`rvic` fexpeditiously and satisfactorily. The {best recommendation a workman can desire is the fact that he is not out of it work. ` Very often employers. are iforced through a labor shortage, to {accept workers who do not come from another job, but when allowed to V, `choose between theemployed and the - unemployed they always pick the for- mer. The axiom of the busy man applies to the professional man, store, hotel, factory, oice and every other branch and phase of business? The . axiom of the good workman is api- plicable toall classes oflabor; ` The .world wants more busy-men` and good gworkmen. -. ' _ Eleven Years Age , Toronto Telegram: Eleven years ago!

When people are to `have a holiday they like to know some timeahead so that they may make plans for the day. This year the date, we understand, was selected largely to accommodate the remen in their attendance at the annual competition held by the re` brigades of the county. We are quite in sympathy with the desire to assist the remen. . Barrie has a brigade of which it has good reason to be proud and which is deserving of the best possible treatment at the hands of the Council and the citizens. There can be no objection to having civic holiday on the same date as the re- men_ s tournament. An easy way to settle the matter would be for the firemen to set a denite time at which their tournament should be held each yea_r--say on the first or second Mon- day in August. A Whatever day might] bechosen as the permanent date `for the remen s county demonstrationl the Council could definitely x'Bar- rie's `civic holiday. for that day.` Should the Council` not care to` be governed by this event it could choose a date which it considers most suit- able to the citizens and make" that day, a xture. Civicholiday is` not a movable slate in Toronto and Hamil- ton. There is no reason` why it should. be in Barrie. - ' ` 34-in. Pongee Silk, for lingeries wear, A .... .. `LI . _ _ . ..

Saturday morning. It is owned by Ralph Con- nable of Toronto, general manager for Canada of the F. W. Woolworth - Co. While Mr. Connable was in- pany, crowds gathered about The Ispecting the local store of the Com- _ Caravan, as this hotel on wheels` is named, and for a time the traffic was jammed by scores of curious and wondering people. The body is built on a Pierce-Arrow chassis and is high enoughto enable a six9footer to stand" upright inside. Outside, the body is nished in blue and black and presents a most attractive appear- ance. Although the car cost over $15,000,`,the owner says it is an ec- onomy. He takes this view because he knows it will save the price of at least three bedrooms or sleepers ev- `ery night, as well as something on meals and railroad fares for a family of four. Circulating water is ob- tained from a forty-gallon tanklcept under pressure underneath the car. The seats, which are better termed large, roomy arm-chairs, are.convert- ible into berths, for ve sleepers. The `cushions of the chairs, are inated with air, which adds to the comfort of riding and sleeping. There is a . clothes closet with" forty hangers, which keeps the wearing apparel from getting creased, and the doors of the closet when 0 ened form a partition making two, ressing-rooms. If the scenery along the route is uninterest- ing, the passenger may take a book from the library shelf, and read. Or should the fancy choose a magazine, it can be obtained from. a magazine compartment. The use of this roll- ing home need not be restricted to the warm weather for there is-a heat- ing, system. the basis of which is ex- haust passing through radiators. On the other hand, if the weather is too hot, coolness is provided by electric fans and refrigerators for the food. won?t, go sixty miles per hour. .Qn{-umou urea +`IA unnnnpl 53...- LL-L Mr.: Connable says the car can, but TRAVEL DE LUXE IN -FINE s15,ooo MOITOR CARAVAN wun b, gu auuq Iuuca pet U_uI'. `Saturday was thesecond time that the can has been in Barrie.
