But then it would seem that Muskoka is only being paid back with some of its own medicine. For years the tourist maps. of Muskoka hotels particularly, have display-4 ed a heavy red line into the heart of the Mus- koka district and a very thin red line north of there. This circumstance has for years been a suhject of complaint in i\`orthern Ontario.

This, he goes on to say, is only"a sample of the gloomy news which is heing disseminated in Orillia these days. The editor continues: From such statements coupled with a re- cent Glohe editorial which I promptly re- futed it would seem that some low down characters are deliberately trying to dis- courage motoring into Muskoka and be- yond. A member of the Gazette staff drove from Orillia to Bracebridge during the past week in 70 minutes and said the road is not had at all. it is paved to Severn Bridge and oiled to within a few miles of (3u`avenhurst. The rest of the way is now very dusty but there is nothing else what- ever to inconvenience motorists. l`he Orillia knockers, it would appear, are getting under the skin of the Bracebridge edi- tor. Barrie is a disinterested onlooker in the controversy. We do not knock here, but we can say that the motoring from Toronto or from any point south, east or west to Barrie. is excellent. From Barrie to Orillia-we1l, it is not so go,itl--ratliei' bumpy, in fact. North of Orillia we cannot say, but the case is appar- ently in good hands when G.H.O.T. takes up his trusty pen. L,;'.lI,C }.'UlLlLo I ` Barrie is in the identical position of Simcoe and developments in the latter town will be watched with interest. Our Council, too, was some time ago advised that it-had granted lic- ,enses to operate curb gas pumps illegally. The slogan at the council board when the last per-` mit was passed favorably upon was this is positively the finish-no more. It was sug- gested after hours of discussion, at several meetings. that licenses be not renewed and that operators be given one year in which to remove the objectionable pumps. But this was only talk. 71`.

Anyway Tunney has a more active con- science than some of the other great andnear- great.

The champion refused to allow his name to be used. ' One does not need look to-John D. Rock- feller, Thomas Edison or any other notable for a concrete example of the value of judicious living`. Take the case of our townsman, John Mackay, a_ short biography of whom we pre-i sent in our news columns today and who on August 12 (Derry Day) passed his 83rd mile- stone feeling. as he himself says, in the pink and looking` every inch of it. He is-at his office- every day and right on top of his job; very much so, in fact. Inasmuch as Mr. Mackay was born on Derry Day, it is most interesting to note that he has for sixt.y-five years been an Orangeman and he still walks. In a million years--Utopia, says a heading in the Toronto Globe. If the Globe editor will visit Simcoe county we `can show "him Utopia without waiting a million years, and a mighty fine section he ll find it, too. A concessionaire at the circus which recently visited here told The Examiner his commission on the sale of toy balloons, elephants, mon- keys, etc.. the day previous in a northern town was $68.50 and in Barrie $6.80. This statement may be accepted by Barrieites as a compliment to their good judgment. His commission is ten per cent and a 1-ot of money must have gone up in the air in the northern mining town in one day.

The solicitor of that town has frequently reiterated the same ad- vice. stating that permission to break the side-` wall; and erect a gas pump would be a violation of the law. The council forthwith not onlylre- fused an application for a license which it had before it, but went the length of cancelling all permits that had been granted in the past, throwing` all responsibility for t-he pumps on their owners and indicating` their intention to refuse any further application. This 'does not mean. however. that the obnoxious pumps will be removed. comments The Reformer of that GET ACQUAINTED As heretofore stated Mr. Mac- kay s affiliationwith the Orange Order dates back to 1863.

It looms as one of the most difficult and annoying uestions with which municipal Councils will tave to deal in .the next few years. The sale of gasoline has de- veloped into a lucrative business. One vendor told The Examiner he sold $600 worth in four days recently. if curb gas pumps are to be abol- isiied from the streets it will not be without a protest from those vitally affected. A'lot of toes will have to be tramped upon. it must needs be a courageous council that will take this action. Yet the duty of the council is quite plain, in- asmuch as the provincial authorities tave de- creed that municipal bodies granted licenses to operate these pumps illegally.
