I First Case of Kind Is Heard in Traffic V Court. 1. unuu; 115 halt. ! The steel cell was moved with` due ceremony from the re hall at Allan- dale to Agricultural Park last week, Where it had been found that loose paper was ying across Bradford St. to the annoyance of the public. West Ward school grounds were littered [but the police cell-incinerator is |counted upon to put a stop to this nuisance. The obnoxious smells, how- ever, cannot be conned to the cells and will undoubtedly continue to be wafted on the breeze. The steel police cell which once housed the headaches at Allandale in the good old days of the open bar and brass rail is now doing duty as an in- cinerator at the town dump, a ter- rible fate for an institution which, ucould it talk, could tell many a heart- rendering tale. rm... ..,...1 ..-n _.-- M - Entries for the Canadian Gladiolus Show to be held in Barrie on Aug. 21 and 22 now total 340.

Board Has Authority This Act was amended in 1929 and provides that local Old Age Pension Boards have authority to institute proceedings to compel sons and daughters having suificient means to contribute to the support of their de- pendent parents. It is stated the Board does not wish to adopt such l drastic measures -but may be compell- J ed to do so. t\__ g-L- -Ac_ -,, u c - While the Wheat crop of South Sim- coe is above the average, the same canot be said. for the northern town- ships, Flos, Tay_ ad Medonte. Those who have driven through these sec- tions in recent days and talked with farmers say the crop is below the av- erage for the past ten years, due to the wet spring and that the same applies to other crops, including hay.

A feature of the trek was the number of American cars, particularly from Ohio and New York, with Michigan 9. close third. The advent of cold weather spread the southbound traffic over 24 hours and thus the inevitable last- minute congestion was avoided. Mo- torists who went to Wasaga Beach L and other Georgian Bay points on Saturday were back in Barrie Sun- day. Many others stopped here. Barrie Was Busy Barrie restaurants and refresh- ment places were forced to turn busi- ness away Monday afternoon. The failure, of all electrical appliances due to an interruption in the power ser- vice from 2 to 5 o'clock was a great source of annoyance during the rush hours. Merchants report fair business but not as good as a year ago, when a swimming meet was held here. Cows Hold Up Traffic At Painswick Monday evening two cows held up traffic for ten or fteen minutes and traffic officers had con- siderable trouble straightening out the tangle.
