At present the absolute control of vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the streets is under the Chief of Police and his officers. The police. however, cannot be expected to respond to every fire alarm as many of the calls are trivial in nature. Policing at fires could be ensured in a very simple and 1 inexpensive way by having certain members of l the brigade sxvoin in to do Constabulary duty when directed by the Fire Chief. if new regulations were made along these two lines, it would mean not only greater safe- ty for the men but increased efficiency in fight-' ing fires. Members of the fire luigatie are giving us service at a cost which is low compared with that of many other towns of similar size. Their volunteer efforts for the protection of the pro- perty of the citizens often place them in-haz- ardous positions and they are entitled to any t'easonal`le safeguards that can be given them.

DRUGGIST Iaqu Four IN BEAUTEOUS AUTUMN GARBV in Spring or in Summer Simcoe landscapes abound in beauty but for sheer loveliness noth-' ing can compare with the countryside at the present time when nature has donned its gor- geous autumnal robes.

Summer has gone. Autumn has officially ar-. rived. it is a good and pleasant land in which Canadians live. Every season of the year has its charm with its peculiar pleasures of eye and ear. But the delights of the fall, this season of mists and mellow fruitfulness probably out- weigh all. At no other period is the mysterious wizardry of nature so prodigally manifest as it is today.

The franchise of the rivate company having expired, an ex-counci lot and another citizen have taken out an injunction to prevent further payments by the town to. the company. _....,....+..

Were- it not for the penny ante politics which enter into the controversy-, plus the pressure of an iron hand, for the power and lighting plant has i for over a quarter of a century been owned by a mere handful of men, some large employers of labor, the question would be settled in quick time. "But there are wheels within wheels, a sit- uation prevalent in most every town. Tkn /1I|Ac+:t'\v1 in cirnnlu Ann AF ur'lr1n4-haw Han It is not on record that Walkerton has flour- ished under pri_vate ownership of its light and power plant. The town has less population than it had a score of years ago, attributable to a number of "causes, whiletowns all around it have left it behind in the race. Reference to Bradstreet s or Dun s probably would show the owners of the power plant tobe men of wealth. A goodly share of these fortunes were built up on power and light profits which had their ori-- gin in theusurpation of a national heritage, the waters `of the Saugeen River. Hundreds of thou- sands of dollars have been paid to a few men which might just as easily have been left in the pockets of ordinary citizens as i-t is today being left in hundreds of Hydro towns. , -,_r-`_ _ __-_.1.1 --..... _. ...r .c ..;.L.. ...:n.. ICIL Ill IIULIUIULID U1 lljulu Lu W nag Walkerton, it would seem, is out of step with the times. It appears strange to an onlooker that its council cannot see the light-to ap- prove of a Hydro survey, the first step toward public ownership. Perhaps if the members of the council were to pay a visit to Barrie, Ori1- lia and other places they would have their eyes opened, as did members of the State of Wiscon- sin Natural Resources Committee this sum- mer. Perhaps they would return home and re- verse their vote. _,_ _-..1.1 _-..r.1:-1_ .. .....:-i. -1: :....L. uuuuu ,, ..... The question is simply one of whether the citizens of Walkerton .want their light and pow- er on an operation at cost basis, or whether they wish to continue to pay a premium to pri- vate power interests. Thelatter are not, nor never have been, in business for their health. IL 2.. ..-1. . _ _ . . -..A L1...4. \lI..11--..LA.. L..- 1`..- Ivvuivaoh III llovulv viva. V 5130 Luvu V \JL\_-re The Examiner could publish a grist of facts and figures to show where Walkerton has been laboring many years, but these are easily obtainable. This paper has no concern in the matter other than the furtherance of public ownership of natural resources. It has seen at first hand the operation of Hydro and can say it has indeed proved a blessing to the citizens of Barrie in all walks of life, instead of filling the pockets of a handful of capitalist-politicians as would have been .the case under private control. Power, liglht, gas and water are sold in Barrie under public ownership and the citizens are thankful for it. They have every reason to be. under a serious misapprehension for Already they `ar starting to tell us how many days Christmas is away. Due to the scarcity of rural doctors, many country people still retain their tonsils. To get out and see Tthe gjlori-ous colrs of the countryside these days is one of the joys of hav- ing a motor. Six small towns of Bruce which are too small to require the full service of a school nurse, are securing this very valuable addition to their schools by combining to engage a nurse. When London," Engx, reporters asked Aimie Semple McPherson how much money she had in her private bank account, she replied: That is my private business. Most people will con- sider it a very fitting and appropriate answer. Some telegraph operators, as well as some city editors, would do well to brush up on their geography. A telegram for the Aviator Schiller, at present on a relief expedition in Northern Manitoba, was recently sent to Collingwood to `be forwarded. It is a long cry from Col- lingwood to Le Pas.

This might `benefit hotels cat- ering to. tourists but it is doubtful if it would help business generally. The later the big Tor- onto fair the more it would cut into the fall trade of the town merchants. Later dates for the C.N.E. would mean clashing with a number of country fairs or shoving all the fairs hack to an extent that many `of them would be too late to be successful.
