married Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited lo Bayfield Street gainer JUNE Barrie Ontario 23 ill Page YOu Mr Barrie Resident Are In Debt Up To Here You may not know it fellow Barrieite but youre in debt up to your ears Every one of us owes roughly $249191 Now to explain glance at the bot tom of the graphs on this page wit show that because of Mr Flemingsdeflcit budget the per capita net debt in can ado now stands at an Estimated $68363 This means that if we share alike every man woman and child in Canada is in debt to that extant The province of Ontario is also on the borrowing bandwagon to the extent that each of us owes $16347 asloor share of the net capital per capita dept of Ontario The County of Slmcoe has happily managed to avoid dipping into deben turning However the county has made financial commitments over the next few years to aid the hospltals in Barrie Midland and Orlllia We contacted coun tytreasurer Jack Coleman who calcu lates that as residents of Slmcoe Coun ty each us owes $10 on that count The City of Barrie is quite low in re lation to other municipalities butit owes money too The average debenture per capita debt in all municipalities is $230 the average of the cities is $21208 Barrie is only $13401 per capita City manager Walter Gigg who pro vided the municipal figures points out that they are as glven by the Depart ment of Municipal Affairs at the end of 1959 but they are close enough Now there Is still the matter of the personal consumer debt being carried by each of us Judging by the number of Barrie people who are buy cars houses television sets and other items on time we would imagine that $1500 each would be conservative estimate of the aVerage consumer debt here We do not profess to be experts in the field of economics Nor do we sug gest that the figure of $249191 any thing more thana rough estimate But it is an indication that every single Canadian is in debt to the tune of something like $2500 If you want to go the whole way you can multiply that by our estimated i8 mllllon populatlon and getthe whop ping total of some 1219 billion In an editorial last week on the coyne Fleming dispute we commented that we would have to wait until after the fin ance minister brought the budget down to really assess their different view points Now that we have been able to caluculote how much we owe we find it rather frightening Translated into personal terms it isnt it We are now inclined to agree with Mr prne that Canadians are living beyond their means We think it would be un wise to get any further out on the credit limb We think that as result of our fifth straight deficit budget we are now dangerously close to the limit Down Memory Ldne OPINIONS 25 YEARS AGO Under Opinions of Others in The Barrie

Federal Commission Communications chairman Minow that much TV fare is vast wasteland Despite some shims generally considered excellent the net works could obviously do better Stifi there are disturbing implications in Mr Minows speech On the one hand he says he is against governmental cen sorship on the other he tells the Nat ional Association of Broadcasters that it is not enough to cater to the nations whimsyou must also serve the nations needs Such as what needs Informing the nation We would say that is one field where TV shines It provides spot cov erage or the news as in the magnificent detailing of Commander Shepards space flight it also provides if anyone wants to look good many news back The Barrie Examiner Authorlzed in clan mu lost Olflcl efllflmcnt Dttlwl imdnyl and

complaint about the wasteland hardly concerns the news services of TV It is directed rather at the entertainment side with its prepon derance of westerns and violence in general And here one begins to
