The bottleneck through Barrie has occasionally slowed traffic out as far as Stroud It is time that some thing was done to better this condi tion One American driver report ed that he was over an hour from the time he was slowed down last weekend until he again got under way on the open highway beyond BarrieU Talkingto this driver in Orillia later he had very unpleasant memory of Barrie and especially its main intersection which he seemed to think was the source of the delays Perhaps this may account for some of those tourists not staying in the County Town as there seems to be plenty of

while man to enter what is now the Province of On tario was Etienne Brute who was 1101 tendered lo the GOVCTHOFGehisent into the Huronia district in 1610 by the Governor of New France to learn the resources and geography of the district Cham iplain followed few years later in 1615 and found here fairly well inrganized empire of 30000 Huron Indians It is for this reason that the Huronia district is often re ferredto as the Cradle of Ontario History There are many places scattered over the district where important events took place over 300 years ago and to preserve these sites and educate the present generation in our early Ontario history the Huronia Historic Sites Association was formed in 1941 Mr Vic Edwards of Midland on my right was the fipst President and hit was largely due to his un tiring efforts that the Association was so well founded and accom plished so much Mr Edwards gave up the presidency only last year wouldalso like to refer to the group in Toronto under Sir Ellsworth Flavelle who have taken keen interest in the development of Huronia In additiori to locatingimarking and preserving the historic sitesr our Associatidn had Cranston of Midland write brief history of Huronia This book1et com plete with illustrationsisjust off the press and when school opens next September free fcopies will be given to the senior pupils throughout the County Copies of
