TOWN By JANE Although we have known the Town of Barrie our earnest days lnof Its earliest days however we cant help ref gretting that we didnt know it sooner after looking back on some of the happenings of the past him dred years old days sound more exciting in retrospect than they really are and the old timers who claim that the town was once livelier place than it is today are wrong but we cherish in our heart the Barrie of long ago The stories we heard from our rents and other relatives down ough the years of days long Heres the food that help give cats and kitten Strong bones

yoga created muddled impression of Barrie in our mind that weve incver been quite able to Shake AROUND Somehow Barrie in the old days shaped into vague frontlar town with dusty or muddy main streets board walks overhead verandahst and clutter of gay looking blades in beards and proper looking young women in sweeping gowns walk iing along street that was norsy lwith horses and wagons Winter time In the old days we Ianother in which snow reached gunparallelcd heights but summer lwas the best season when warm evenings were enlivened by band music the boy was always full of sailboaLs and other craft and the town The boys and the girls had an enormous amount of fun in the old days hose who have grown up long si cc have often told us Barrie had sparkling dramatic season and our childhood was fill ed with snatches of Gilbert and Sullivan songs that were remem bered from the opereltas that the local young musicians used to produce Circus parades have nev er been what they were once when circus day was one of the big days of an cnlerlainmcntpock ed year Childhood on one fantastic Iprank after another played on the elders of the family and tho ncigh borhood Everybody on the street knew evorybody else and the men and women of the town shared memories of childhood with each other All of these things might not Centennial Sale 011 glRefrigerators Freezers Washers Ranges Phone 2429 til0p

the way tilc old town lived on in the minds of those who grew up here Sundays meant walk to Barrio from Allandale on the old board walk or along the lake shore where young lady could have her hat blown out across the buy if she wasnt carefuland if all other activities in the town failed there were the wonderful steamer trips up the lake and who didnt remember when the boati was grounded and they were all so frightened Only in the aerial views of town do you now realize what visitors often comment on the number of shade trees in the streets In an 1852 newspaper we were Iookingl at last week the editor was mourning the loss of trees with the coming of the new settlers so it is easy to imagine the Barrie that was before the coming of the Iumbermen The spirit of that more distant past of the district around 0dr hometown was never revived more vividly than in the letters of an unusual woman the wife of Ed ward OBrien that were published in The Examiner three years ago The OBrien
