flame Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Hayfield Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher Brian Slaight General Manager SATURDAY FEB I0 19 Plgo Offers Sound Suggestions To Attract More Tourists ExBarric layor Willard Kinzic has offered several concrete suggestions for the development of tourism in Simcoe County Mr Kinzie told the annual meeting of the Barrie Chamber of Commerce this week that courtesy is high on his list of dos for tourist promotion Long after the tourist returns from his travels he remembers the personal contacts he made in faraway places He recalls the pleasant service of waiter the kindness of store clerk and the warm helpful ness of the man or woman who gave him directions But courtesy laudable as it is is not always enough If we expect tourists to remain in our midst instead of continu ing on his journey after nights stop over we must give them good reasons to do so One of the best ways of achiev ing this objective according to Mr Kin zie is to supply lists of historical sites and current attractions to the tourists when they are actually visiting us Such lists could be placed in stores restaur ants and public buildings They most cer tainly should be made available to motels and hotels Mr Kinzie cited his own experience on his first visit to Florida city He and Mrs Kinzie were in restaurant and were about to leave after paying their bill They were handed list of places to see and to be entertained Their one day stopoverextended into 10day stay and ever since the have made this particular city their eadquarters on Florida visits Mr Kinzie of course was not sug gesting that the mere supplying of list would solve the problems of attracting tourists He stressed however that we must do something to persuade peo le to stay longer We must give them at they want whether it be boating or fish ing scenic drives or shopping for new summer clothes Tourists like other holiday travellers want something different from the hum drum existence of their daily lives They want rest and relaxation Often as Mr Kinzie remarked rest amounts to change of pace Simcoe County has the climate the scenery and the facilities to attract many more tourists than we usually have and keep them longer in our midst Make Up Good Community At the beginning of each new year and 1962 is carrying on the tradition host of organizations whose members are dedicated to wide variety of worthy causes hold meetings at which officers are elected to guide their destinies through another term These people are interested in projects designed to make their home communities better places in which to live They are concerned also with matters far beyond their immediate environment where their influence may be felt in some degree Many of these organizations are worn ens groups identified with the work be ing carried on by the churches the ser vice clubs the fraternal societies the hospital auxiliary and the institute In others men and women join forces and pool resources to promote the welfare of agricultural and horticultural societies of home and school associations The Barrie Examiner has been carry ing reports of numerous such gatherings There are more to come Some are loc ated in the urban centres and others in the smaller settlements and the rural regions Wherever they may be found they have one general purpose in mind the people who work through them are motivated by the mutual desire to be of service The value of the workvdone by these public spirited citizens challenges the imagination The scope of their labors covers wide range of subjects from exchanges of re cipes and holding garden competitions to alleviating human suffering advancing the cause of education and giving encour agement to possessors of trained and gift ed minds engaged in research which will benefit the common lot Because men and women are read to pool their talents and give freely of eir time with no thoughtof rewards other than the knowledge something has been attempted and something done life is the biighter for countless thousands of peo It is difficult to conceive what the world would be like were all these ef forts dropped Fortunately there is no such prospect and the good work goes on unselfishly Down Memory Lane 25 EARS AGO FEB 10 1937 John Wisdom Al landale merchant reelected chairman Barrie Board of Health Buster Clark formerly of Barrie

reason for the way teenagers act As mother of five children find that with our oldesbo boy 13wo are buried in problems On all sides parents are told we must let children think for themselves make their own delt clsions When they 5qu and go into shell you must leave them alone If not you may de stroy something within them that could ruin them for their whole lives Mrs By the time theyre 18 you may be able to guide themand help them youve finished the task of bringing them up As to letting them think for themselves make their own de cisions this is sort of half truth Of course children should learn to think for themselves But letting them make their own decisions is not quite the some thing Children should make their own decisionsas long as they dont go haywire im speaking now of the earlier years of course We all learn by experi ence How else can we learn The small child must be en couraged to make small deci sions for himself The some what older child can be urged to think about somewhat larger decisionswill he spend his el lowance now for ice cream or buy something more important next week That sort of thing But child also is entitled to the protection which he expects To be protected from making decision which will be harmful to him in serious sense child learns by making mis takes in handling his allowance He spends foolishlyand learns to think twice next time child must not be allowed to think that hecan do as he jolly well pleases about every thing He has to conduct him self so as to avoid making life miserable for others in the fam ily Better that he learn this by disciplinn in childhood than by finding himself frlendless when he is grown teenager cannot be allowed to decide whether to go to school or quit at times He must he told in no uncertain terms that be will finish his schooling or else He may at the time be angry about it later on hell see why At 18 its pretty late In the game for parents to do much about things It may be that son or daugh ter at that age may have to be allowed to think things out thinking Is fine But if its just matter of sulking thats something else again guess the best rule is to give any child of any age all the freedom he shows he can handle sensibly Beyond that point the child may have to be told that this or that action is dangerous harmful unwise The goal of childrearing Is to show youngster how to be good adult Telling him lie when necessary Isnt going to hurt him its port of teach ing him Because in his future he will find that if he lswrong the world will my hon and say it more bluntly Dear Dr

Ion Jack Pickers ill is warp Ing politlu by try to make Canadians treat this essentially national lune as sectional political Issue His bone of contention cob ocrns the historical and unalter able fact that it wsr under varlously the flags of France and Euglnodthat Canada was first settled iuid then expanded unified and finally accorded full Independence There Is mbstnnunl body of Canadian sentiment and his tory attaching to France and Britain and this Is exempllflcd by the presence of the flour de II and the Union Jack on our Canadian ensign This flag was accorded official status as the emblem of Canada by Uie for mer lecrol prime minister Mockenzle King WHAT IE DISTINCTIVE But the shibbolctb is heard in our land that Canada requires distinctlvn national flag which Is meaningless phrase since our flag Is distinctive and cannot be mislaken for the flag offliiny other nation It Is of course similar in design but not in apcaroncc to the flags of Australia and New Zealnnd which also have the Union Jack In tho first quarter but they both have blue grounds In place of Canadas red ground and both have their own symbols to pllyufl of our cost of arms In the Every time our Governor Geueral leaves his official resi dence here the first thing likely to catch his eye Is the flag of the republic of South Africa flying outside that coun trys embassy oposiie the gate houso of Government House Although South Africa In re public and no longer even member of the Commonwealth ltl flag proudly Incorporates the Union Jack or II symbol of ifs unalterohle past history and development This may well make our Wise French Canadian Governor General Wonder at the antics of REPORT FROM UK Back TakeOver Of Small Rail Line By McINmE I100 Special london England Correspondent for The Barrio Examlner WESTERHAM Kent Err couraged by success achieved by group of Sussex citizens in operating the Bluebell Railways wld replaces line discontin ued by the British Railways as unprofitable residerks of West erham Kent are aiming at similar project In October of last year the fivernile of rail way between Westerham and Dunton Green and its railway stations were closed This was done despite strong protests which led to public inquiry British Railways would not con sider any pleas to keep it in operation The railway station at Wester ham is only two miles from the country home of Sir Winston Churchill at Chantwell While he has not used the railway in re cent years he did make use of it regularly during his years as wartime prime minister of the United Kingdom TAKEOVER HID While dismayed at the closing of this line the residents of West erhom are determined to do something about it They have formed Westerham Railway now hastso members Through this bodylhe residents of West erham are to be asked to support takeover bid for the towns railway station and the five mila of railway line The rail way enthusiasts who used the line want to buy the station the line and the rolling stock and op erate their own railroad jist as has been deal so profitably by the Bluebell Railway Preserva tion Society in its venture of similar nature Support from all over the soulh of England is forthcoming for the scheme Two members of the Bluebell Society have volunteer ed to get the railway line into operation again if the railway authoritia agree tosell it to the Westerham Association And there are many people who form erly used this railway who are eager to see it again being med Dining the summer months this was for years heavily travelled line Hundreds of tour ists from all over the world tra velle on it often purely because of its historical mociations Plans have now reached the songs of the calling of public meeting by the Wterham way Passengers Association to to put the case for the lines re opening and enlist strong public support Chairman of the mociation lack the bedsheet boys who ren cently draped government building here with bedsheet part dyed red on which was sewn the registered trade mark of foreign commercial enter prise selling maple sugar candy in gesture which on fortunately introduces history and tradition into our domestic politics the Liberal party in national convention here year ago adopted the promise that Liberal government will es tablish distinctive Canadian flog within two years of its tak Ing office but so unsure of Its ground was it that It failed to specify the form of that new flag Are we asked to vols for partfl wlth blind promise For we know the bends mlght In fllct upon us design which would be resented by most Ca nadfons Would It exclude the flour do Iii Would it Include the Union Jack Or would It adopt emblems symbolic of our agriculture and industry such as those ancestral tools the sickle and the hammer TWOFACE PROPOSAL To correct this confusion Jock PIckersgIIl expanded his thought before FrenchCann dian audience last week He II reported to have said that Can ada should have two flags He recommended sold this corwitness first the choice of flag on which would npear the Union Jack to represent Canada in Britain and in the other countries of the Common wealth Second ha recurri mended the adnpxtxion of dire tlnctlvo flag wl out any cm blem of dependence to repre sent Canada across the country and at the United Nations What Is an emblem of depend ence The Union Jack which Independent South Africa proudly solutes In Its national flag Or the teen nge guilt complex which hides In the woodshed to smoke and would hide its distinctive national flag In its own country whilst brandishing an entirely differ ent flag In Britain and In the other countries of the Com monwealth The first reaction against DI union Jacks proposal came from his adopted province of Newfoundland which proud to be called Englands oldest col any ls essentlauy our Union Jack province The rest of Cans ada was not far behind in Issu ing its critical commenLa on this most weaselly of all flag proposals TODAY IN HISTORY by The Canadian Preu FEB 10 1962 Gen Georges Vanier repres ented Canada at the signing of peace treaties between the Second World War Allies and Italy Romania Bulgaria Hun gary and Finland in Paris lb years ago todayin 1947 Canada signed all but the treaty with Bulgaria with whom she had not been at war lam Upper and Lower Canada were united 1939 Pope Pius died and was succeeded by Cardinal glean who took the name PIIII William Gray says that he Is quite sure that it can operate the line and make it profitable pro position The mociation intends to put before the British Rail ways maoagement strong case for rimning it and it hopes to secure the financial support of local bisinessmen who have sut fared since the old llnu ceased operation Among those anxious to reopen the line are five British Railway employees Says Mr Gray They are extremely keen to see flie trains running again and we will find their advice on tech nical matters very valuable 11 BEST TO KNOW near ALCOHOL
