Barne school children, hundreds strong, entered classrooms again on Tuesday after the long vacation to resume their studies for the full term. Bookstores were literally mob- bed Tuesday afternoon as hund1'ed;s of student.x' besieged the various places where school books and sup- plies are sold to secure their re- quirements. 1121' (lust of 1.116 week infornled those from 4 cIi;~;ta.nce not to make the (Please turn to page four) be spared for '\\'a1' service. There are some in every community who are key men in the business and in- dust;rial life of a community and much as we admire their patriotism they can give better service to their country by staying at home than by going to the front. There are ample young men without family re- sponsibilities who should go before tliose who have wives and children to take care of. It costs the coun- try a great deal more to send old men than it does yoimg men. Four hundred men, representing the various bliilding trades, are work- ing twelve hours a day at Camp Borden at the present time and more are expected to nd employ~ ment as fast as additional building materials can be rushed t0'Camp. There is scarcely an unemployed man in Barrie to-day. In response to a. call Saturday evening from Camp contractors, about 150 local men gathered at the re hall and placed their names for employment. Large truck are transporting` the men to and from Camp, leaving the Five Points at ve 21.111. and returning about 8 p.111. The men are required to take two meals with them. As predicted by this paper two weeks ago, Camp Borden is to-day lthe scene of feverish activity un- paralelled in recent; years, as trades- men of every description are rushing to completion additional building projects totalling hundreds of thous- ands of dollars. ` WORK 12 Howfms A DAY [Local Tradesmen and Lab- ourers Find Employment --Many from Outside Points Disappointed as Jobs Filled.
