715 drift E36 Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Baytleld Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher Brian Slalght General Manager THURSDAY FEB 15 GIP Commend The Chambers For Energy And Foresight Barries sixth annual Winter Carnival is all over for another year and it could he pronounced an unqualified success lfhis time perhaps the weather was Tbit too cold for either competitorsor spectators on the bay but thats better 1than having it too mild for good ice ZAt least there was no snow or sleet as fin other years and the sun shone Ibrightly most of the time There was lots of entertainment for young and old and for every taste in winter sports To the members of the Senior and Junior Chambers of Com merce who organized this event we ex tend congratulations and thanks from the commnuity of Barrie at large Pro bably some people do not realize the tremendous amount of time and energy required to plan organize and create an event such as this The general chair man and the various committee chair men have to start work on this many months earlier than the actual weekend of the carnival There are hundreds of letters to be written and many more personal calls to be made in connec tion with planning And then on the actual weekend the Chamber members themselves and hteir helpers are prac tically on 24hour duty and in this case with uncomfortable subzero weather wruo

But the carnival is not put on for profit in monetary sense The general idea is to publicize Barrie to keep the city in the forefront of the winter months when people are looking for some place to go close at hand with something to do and see You have to provide something to attract tourists and visitors to your community And thats exactly what the Chambers set out to donnd did More power to them and lets hope the ball is kept rolling and next years carnival will be bigger and better than ever now that all the groundwork has been laid by Barries energetic Chambers of Com merce and Jaycees Introduce World Of Work Academic snobbery is one reason Why Canada has shortage of skilled work ers while unskilled people lengthen unemployment rolls according to study prepared for the Canadian Con ference on Education by Pigott of Toronto director of the Canadian Association forndult Education The conference will be held in Montreal March 48 Probably we have all been guilty of academic snobbery with regard to voca tional subjects courses and schools says the study Is it not true that par ents continue to desire their children to stay in academic courses for as long as possible This attitude sorely ag gravates the personal problems ofthe students and worsens both the atmo sphere of the schools and the employ ment situation For too many years vocational courses haVe had secondbest status with the tendency for pupils who failed other courses to transfer to them This re sulted in lowering of vocational course standards Another problemIof the age is that children especially those living in the urban areas have little knowledge of work In days past children were given comparative share in the familys work as soon as physical strength per mitted Today every child is circum scribed in his work experience School activities keep him busy in world often unrelated to the one in which he will be ultimately employed In this connection the study states Introducing the world of work must be accepted as one of the primary respons ibilities of elementary schoolsthrough films television programs speakers and classroom study The changes proposed in the Ontario system of education will correct some of the faults cited There will remain however the need for imparting more knowledge of the world of work in the schools broader outlook on the part of parents on the world of work together with nationwide look at our attitudes toward technical and vocational courses New goals are required to wipe out aea demic snobbery in changing world where it has no standing Other Editors

claim of Guate mala is that the history of British Hon duras is mass of contradictions and treaties with the greatest evidence hear ing on the fact that the area has been in British hands since 1802 There is also evidence that Guatemalans had never oe cupied the territory now claimed and that the BritishGuatemalan treaty of 1859 set the frontier between the two land areas The fact that Guatemala refuses to take its arguments before the Internat ional Court of Justice and that it has ignored an earlier offer on the part of Britain to talk things over indicates that its claim to British Honduras is weak Guatemala is apparently seeking the wealtbof the timber and sugarcitrus producing colony but it is not alone in this respect Mexico accepting British sovereignty has let it beknown that if there is to be change lnownership then Mexico should have part of the country Britain has now made public offer to discuss the issue of its colony with Guatemala an offer which may again be ignored by nation seeking territory to winch it apparently is not entitled On such small issues war has been declared but there are no indications of such result in the present claim MORBID FEAR BC

woman who want ed advice to stop her husbands nightmares Ive intedned to write to you ended my own nightmarcs with single set after being plagued with them for 17 years would get so violent from terror that would smash win dows to escape from the sinking house One morning my mother told me that sprang from bed with yell when the midnight train whistled by three block from our house Soon after when was about to cross the track as train approached lgot bunch that it might be good idea to wait while the train approach ed and wait and watch it go too From then on no more night maresG most interesting experience and also an example of what we sometimes can do just by using our own powers of obser vation in this case past experiences if didnt have space for this entire letter led to some eur iuus emotional reactions which in turn wuchd off the night mares With Mr the train noise had these subconscious conusctions in his mind But other types of tensions or wor rles as fears can be set off by other sounds or circum stances and lead to nightmares or other emotional reactions In this instance simply not icing that the nightmares oc curred when ilie train went by and whistler was the important key And GFC was alert enough to take that key and use it Noting the connection between some oftrepeated trouble and some equally oftrepeated incid out can be usefill in many physical or

no drinking but now he drinks six to eight bottles of beer day and says it will not harm him MRS Anyone who has had liver disease should not use alcoholic drinks of any kind It puts that much more strain on the liver and while he mayrsay be not ices no trouble he is steadily weakening an already damaged organ He should be smart en nugh to give up all alcohol and stay on his Idlet too Dear Dr Molnar My mother 85 has been advised by our doctor to use uterus support She doesnt want to try it For months she has had periodic attacks of not being able to urinate Some oldsters are quite siublt born about such things How ever if certain of the pelvic tissues have become so relax ed asto interfere with proper law such uterus support pessary frequently corrects the trouble She should be urged to try it at least If only com fort is involved its worth it But her health should benefit too Dear Dr Molner What is your opinion of cola drinks Ive heard so many people say they are harmful but Ive

accounts for the fiscal year ended March last as certi fied by auditor general ll Henderson reveal that total of $782210000 was paid out in salaries and wages to civilian employees of the federal gav erumeut The great Liberal senator Hon Tom Crerar who has spent more than half his 85 years as member of Parlia ment cabinet minister and senator is wise but bitter 0plt poneut of the proliferation of our bureaucracy would imag ine tbat thisimmense total of the wages of bureaucracy would prcvolre stinging comment from him if he were to one lyzo it For example in that one year our federal government paid out as much to its civilian em ployees as our earlier federal governments paid out in total throughout the first quarter can lury of Confederation For example again lost your we paid out $782000000 to 193 civil servants and other civilian employees But only 25 years ago in the fiscal year ended March at 1936 our fed eral government paid out in wages only $7000000 or less than llootb

should be inspectors on the road making spot checks of municipalities By this time 10 years from now there should be certified treasurers and clerks in all mu nicipalities and provincial offi cials available to whom local taxpayers can complain if they suspect irregularities This is coming It is only matter of time The proposal of putting in pectors out through the prov loco has been under study for year The men will do dual lob of advising local officials and keeping an eye out for laxness or irregularities The biggest obstacle to be met will be in getting the proper men They will have to be of high standard and the govern ment is cautious about going overboard before it is sure it will be able to find them This is the first step Others will follow gradually until there is fairly tight rein on municipal administration is this necessary Yes it is Sbould there be autonomy Yes there should bl within limits municipal But Over the years how many times hundreds of times has the reporter called officials here about some not or other of some municipality or other And how many times the an swer or course they have no authority to do it buti Our structure of government put authority over the munici palities made them subject to the province This was done principally for two reasons Local gnvemmeut is so close to the people it is subjectto pressure groups Turnover in elected officials is so great that there is con stant danger through inexperi ence of laxity irresponsibility and inefficiency In recent years we have been inclined to overplsy autonomy which is the principal reason behind the invariable but from officials Now it has become clear that this is not wise And so we will change directions There will be protests from some municipalities But it can be depended that this will be principally from the loud mouths it has always been noteworthy that those municipalities which keep tidy ships have not had much to say about provincial interference century has been equivalent to adding approximately double the 1936 civil senice in each of the intervening 25 years Some day an chemist will get around to adding up the to ss cost to Canada of our bonlt productive fraction of our labor force We have nearly 450000 ablebodied men and women on the national payroll as civil pervanu clvillun employ ees and members of our de fence forces in addition nearly onsllltb of our total for pay ments are spent on military hardware and the like which doe not add anything to our national wealth or national standard 01 living Suppose it were possible to achieve that degree of world wide dlsarmament so sincerely sought by External Affairs filin ister Green Suppose too that it were possible to return to the days of comparative noninter ference by the govemmeni in our national life We would have all our taxes slashed by one third and we would have per haps 350000 workers added to our productive labor force That would certainly give us huge exporlnble surpluses of goods raw materials and farm prod ucis As NDP spokesmen so olien point out Canada might indeed make greater contribution to world peace by beating our swords uto plow shares by dis arming und employing the same amount of taxes and manpower providing assistance for our derprivileged brothers in the less developed countries of the world That state of Utopia is un likely to be attained But the prospect does raise the serious question whether our whole slmeture of notiondi defence is notin fact makework gim mick Today our department of ma lions defence employs 49411 civil servants 25 years ago it employed 253 The same contrast is noted right across the board In 1936 our department of agriculture had staff of 365 today that has swollen to 10261 Our diplo maiie force was 67 in 1936 to day we employ 2089 to main tain Canadian diplomatic presence in more than 50 for countries Immigration now averages about four times what it did quarter of cen tury ago but the stuff of that

childs education to learn water safety and prop er swimming practices We read with sorrow during the summer months of drown ings due to carelessness and ignorance Are these tragedies worth saving mill or two on our tax rate The Red Cross swimming pro gram is recognised throughout the world and employs only well trained qualified instructors Surely if council wish to make good impression on the tax
