harm Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers limited 16 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher Brian Slalght General Manager SATURDAY JANUARY 182 Pu Council Ignores Wishes ifOf The People Of Barrie Barrie City Council has virtually ignor ed the wishes of the people of this city ordering preparation of bylaw to per mit the showing of movies in theatres on Sundays between and pm At the last municipal election the vot ers were asked if they were in favor of Sunday movies The majority cast their ballots in the affirmative thus giving council clear direction to pass an enabling =hylaw Proprietors of the theatres and their supporting speakers all clearly indicated they wanted bylaw which would permit the showing of movies between the hours of 130 pm and midnight on Sundays It is reasonable to assumein fact one can be certainthat the people voted for the continuous showing of films after 130 pm Council is not committed by any plehlt lscite but it faces strong moral obliga tion to give the majority of the people what the want The question of hours transcen the pros and cons of Sunday movres The pros won the day when collective ly they proved to have support of the general public if council does not wish to abide by this decision then one can come to only one conclusion council is pand ering to the demands of the minority bylaw which calls for 600 pm closing of theatres on Sundays is almost negation of public demand It is back door way of sa ing no and at the some time giving impression that some thing is being done Something is being done we admit But movies shown in the afternoon are large ly for children as they should be When adults think of the show they set their minds on the first or second performance after the supper hour Don Kinloch Roxy Theatre manager said councils proposed bylaw is like handing asmall boy an iced cake for his birthday and then as you give him the cake you slice the icing off the top As Mr Kinloch added people are crea tures of habit He might well have said too that the man who goes to church Sunday evening regularly is hardly likely to break his longstanding habit in favor of show at the theatre And if councils bylaw is aimed at the person who does not go to church not save itself the effort and avoid criticism too The backslider cant be enticed to church door by negative methods Council also should recognize the ap peal evening movies will have for tourists and visitors to our city Council must recognize the signs of the times It must also realize that in most communities where Sunday movies are allowed the hours for theatres encom pass both afternoon and evening There can be no other fair way to meet the wishes of the voting public Great Success Harmful Too much success can be harmful sometimes Take sports for example Re cantly management of Edmonton pro football and hockey teams have voiced alarm atthe failing attendances of re cent years On the road their power Eacked teams rated among the best draw cards but at home turnouts have nt been large enough to keep the club finances in the black The blame does not lie entirely with TV at home or in lounges We had the same situation with hockey here in Bar rie From 1948 through 10 seasons Bar rie Flyers were power winning two Dominion junior titles three Eastern Canada and finalist fourth time and in Ontario playoffs each year Then the Fly ers began to come up with teams not quite so good Attendance began to drop and finally era Falls Is there parallel with the Edmonton situation Football manager Joe Ryan ob served maybe weve been winning too long Fans seem to have become accust omed to Winning and anything less is criticized Last year Edmonton Eskimos failed to finish in the Western finals for the first time in 12 years In baseball there was the case of the old Philadephia Athletics who dominated the American League and the When the teams the club was moved to Niag began to slip so did the fans Eventually the franchise landed in Kansas City where the team never has been winner but the fans keep coming out an sy looking optimistically to time success But there may be some thing in having too much of good

Atlantic Others brought merely the hope that we might gingerly lower certain mutual tariffs But finally all were agreed that for survival in the face of the powerful Commu nist drive the Atlantic nations rnust unite our superior strength just as we immedi ately would in hot war and that we must form an economic and political conununity of the Atlaan and complete this pro cess within ten years The only disagreement was as to the most desirable road towards our goal and tho spccd ft which we should move along The politicians in general has vored the cautious mproach of building on our axis
