Major.`Hartt told the Barrie Ki- wanis Club-last Fridayithat by far rthe greater part of Ontario is prac- '. tically unknown to the majorityof I , the ci-tizens of our province. This is '_ `hardly to be wondered at in view of Lia statement, made this week at the _-annual meeting of -the Ontario Land L-iSurveyors,' that only one-fth of its Loarea has been surveyed. While this , "is true, there is a vast amount -of in- ' formation available concerning those portions which lie outside Old Ont- ario with which only a small percent- age of our people are familiar. These `newer districts are making an enor- ; i mous and rapidly increasing contrib- fiu-tion to the wealth of our province "and our ci-t-izensshould lose no `op- port nity of informing themselves I abou them.` Mone attention might ; well be paid in our schools to the ' wonderfulresources and remarkable development of Ontario's vast hin- terland. 1 ._ E l n The attack31hsde"`upon Bsrrie s police -magistrate by Deputy-Reeve Byrne `sit the Council ':,on Monday. night is_ not,` we are /Qurce, "in ac- cordance with public ixsentiment.

Few will ndlfault with the Town Council in refusing to grant another poolroom license. Barrie has no need whatever of another of these places of amusement. In this connection the Council should notforget the fact that the citizens look to it to see that the regulations are fully complied with by `-all those to w_homJicenses have beenlissued; V g ` small, every person with any properi ty should make a will and see that the Will is `so drawn as to make clear the intentions of the testator.

Should circumstances render a change` ne- cessary in the disposal` of the estate, it is a simple matter to make an- . other will. ` u Whether the estate be large or. The radio. has found a real wel- come on the farms where it has been installed. It comes with a real appeal to the rural community and the farm home. Someone has said that. the W automobile did much to relieve the :traditional loneliness and monotony` gof life that all down the centuries have been regarded as inseparable from the lot of country dwellers. What the automobile did in large measure has been completed bythe `radio. Instead of passing a drowsy evening nodding by the reside, the ,family can tune in on whatever sta-. Etion takes their fancy and amuse ;themselves with such variety of en- `tertainment or `instruction as meets itheir lilging. The cast of individul stret lights in Barrie is not great, yet the total is creeping up towards $5000 'a yegr. To those vvho are interested in se- curing for Barrie the fullest possible benet of the motor tourist traffic, it is encouraging to note that the Town Council has under consideration the advisability of establishing a motor camp. _There is abundant evidence from towns and cities throughout Canada and the United States that, these camps are of decided nancial benefit to` the municipalities. The _summer season is short and- if Barrie is to have its proper share of the` stream of dollars whichthe tourist traffic circulates in Ontario, --it must lay_ itself out to cater to this busi- ness.

T . ` I o The Welland Telegraph criticizes the proposed old-age pension scheme, the `benets `of which are to be con- ned to deserving persons in indig- ent circumstances, as imposing -a -penalty on thrift. The aged who have'~'skimped and saved throughout their working lives to ` accumulate savings or insurance against. the time when they may` no longer labor will be taxed` upon what they have thus accumulated for their own main- tenance` in their closing years, says the Telegraph. The results of their elf-restraint, perhaps. their depriv- ations, must be shared jiith those who have gone through their lives` scattering with carelesshand to` left and rightthe gifts `to which all may have access, and pwhich all `have choice to conserve against the time of need or to waste in the course of the journey.` Quite rightly, /the Tel- egraph contends that such `pensions should _be applicable to all or none.

The an- nouncement of the strike s ending created very little stir in Canada," where peopleehave managed by the use of _ substitutes to get along very well without anthracite. It is alto-. `gather probable that many of them will continue to use a good deal of these substitutes. even when anthra-` . cite is available. Oneigood thing the strike has done for Canada is to im- press upon the people the importance of developing and marketing our own coal suppliesso that we need not be dependent upon the United States for ' our fuel.

Attorney acted virtually; as `prosecutor, although not appointed ` as a substitute. The solicitor later. rendered his client an account, whichi the latter felt he should not be called ' on to pay, since he had, through the ; assault, sustained injuries and dam-I age to property occasioning consider- 1 ' able expense and no order had beer? made at the trial to reimburse him in any way.
