Yet the forthcoming civic and muni- cipal elections are of more importance than ever. since they concern not only the ordinary affairs 01` local government. but also addi- tional problems arising out of wartime con- ditions. Moreover. special care must be taken in_the choice of civic representatives who may have to serve for two years. according as the electors decide by their vote on that ques- tion--providing they are given an opportun- ity to vote. no fan Qha nxuftur n6` n On-n_vnnr far:-vs fnr` ID] vu vuuc. As for the matter of a two-year term for councils. introduced by the provincial gov- ernment with the object of saving election costs, citizens will have to consider whether such saving is good economy. In the case of -Barrie, expenses on this item amount to about $325. That is not a large amount! THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1940 ~ THE BARR!

Civic admin- * istration is a big local business and, like all other businesses. it calls for an annual stock- taking.

The question whether food should be sent to -the people of German occupied countries with famine during the coming winter, is one that has been seriously discussed in the American press and on the radio. Former President Hoover has urged that arrange- ments should be made with Great Britain to lpermit transport of foodstuffs to those coun- tries, with the assurance from Germany that :1. .......I..I L- .I:..4..:l....+nI :\u 6-kn nhyinn nunc nu nuv.--n.-. --...=.- -,r , , " cents. ~ .,.J.

It is claimed that if there is such a shortage, it will be due to the pillaging of the \ nstorages and the harvests of the occupied" countries by the Germans. It is pointed out that the German soldiers are living on those stores, and, that if food is sent in to the pop- ulation it will simply mean that Germany will have more food for the upkeep of her iarmies. ~r:1.....: :..

A` prominent citizen remarked to The Examiner a couple of years ago that Barrie would have 10,000 within a few years. At the time the! prediction was made it looked like quite a; jump, but it does not seem so very far away" now. ` -, u.c-: agar.

In addition to the bright dis-` plays by the stores, special lighting and other features on the streets could be used with telling effect. } ___4`h..j The British Government has announced that in view of the fact that Italian planes. have taken part in the bombing of London.` the Italians cannot now complain if the R.A.F. bombs Rome. London is just as sacred to Britain and the Empire as Rome is to the Italians. The German bombs dropped on London have bounced back with increased- force on Berlin, and Rome must now be pre-| pared for the rebound. I N Britain and Canada are permitting the! United States to establish military bases on: their territory for defence purposes. and yet' Eire. although entirely dependent upon Bri- tain for defence against attack, refuses to allow her protector to use one bit of her coast for the refueling of British ships. The boast- ed independence of Eire would vanish over- night but for the British navy. The neutral- ity of Eire is an eerie affair. to say the least. The statement from the Dept. of Welfare. appearing in this issue. shows Barrie in :11 very enviable position with respect to relief" expenditures. For several years Barrie`s re- lief bills have been among the lightest in the towns of the province. According to the official figures just issued. Barrie stands in the eleventh place in percentage of relief decrease among the towns and villages. In relief. there are but three municipalities shown as better than ours--~Lindsay and Ren- frew. with four-tenths of one per cent and Cornwall, five-tenths of one per cent. Barrie ` and Weston are given an equal place`. with six-tenths of one per cent. some interesting . comparisons may be drawn from the figures. ' Construction of new war plants and the man- i l ufacture or war supplies. as might be expect- a the matter of percentage of pop.ulation on` ed. have had a marked effect upon the size of ; relief rolls.
