The commit- atee recommended running small ad- vertisements in the local papers urg- ing people to buy at home and bbost Barrie and also running a three-min- ute film, which can be procured at small cost, boosting the community spirit, in the local theatres.

E. Bryson, in the chair. When the meal was con- cluded the president called on the chairman of each committee for his report and after each report an op- lportunity was given for discussion yand suggestions.
