We could stand some more industrial who Putatishor Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Eeyfieid Street Barrio Ontario William Teller General Manager McPherson Managing Editor THURSDAY JANUARY PAGE Some Problems In City As Year 1969 Emerges Now that 1969 has arrived what prob icmshas Barrie to solve This is another LltlcthlbyEal and the City Fathers must be well aware that the taxpayers will be watching much more closely than during 1968 Wevwould think that holding tho tax rate down would come under close scrutiny People are being milked now much too much by higher levels of govt ernment Ottawa for instance in Barrie the most urgent matter is downtown Parking space is badly need ed and several eyesores remain in the business blocks This is not to knock the plazas but it is fact that people measure community first by its ap pearance and facilities downtown grovth now Midland Coilingwood and Owen Sound got declared special ar eas by the government Look what hap pened newcomer here remarked in effect that Barrie became city 10 years ago and has been dead ever since The statement was unfair but there was some truth Coming up Is new ldhoie golf course for 1970 with curling club How much will this affect the present flourishing curling club Not much we think And there is the Save The Park campaign the park being art of the present golf course The ea is excellent but we have reserved feelings about the fin anclng If the park is going to be for everyone then it should be paid for by everyone not just those who will make personal contributions What we would like to see in Barrie this year is more rsonai involvement in community at airs If you look around you will see that the greatest part of necessary work is done by min ority of citizens Also it has become fashionable to buy property out in the country and build there Taxes are lower and there is also less likelihood of getting tied up in community projects The parks the waterfront the many things the city has to offer for pleasure and recreation are available to every one anyway This may be so much barking the dark but if more people would accept just bit more community responsibil ity Barrie would be better place for everyone DOWN MEMORY LANE ID YEARS AGO IN NEW CITY Barrie Examiner Jan 1959 Many citizens still hung over from double cele bration of New Year and town becoming city on same

brains behind Eastern and Wes tern space research it appears to me that successful round trip to the moon at this time Is step in the wrong direction as for as solving our problems on earth is concerned Student protesters are accus ed todayof offering nothing as asubstituie for that which they condemn The mere fact that students today are to some ex tent protesting any education al or political system which would direct the best of their brain power to the mean at time that it is so obviously need ed on the plhnet earth is think reason enough to apprcc late their dissatisfaction with the statusqflo That man can new venture to the moon and be returned safe Iy to til family lswonderful Ill deed Itwillbe more wonderful when leaders like Robert Ken nedy and Martin Luther King can venture into the field of genuine brotherly love there on earth and return to their fem ilies without getting bullet through the head It seems to me that the hu men race is being asked to make up its mind what it prefers more harmonious space ships or more harmonious human re lationships Somepeopleremlnd usithat the space programemplnys lot of people at time when unemploymentis on the increase agree however also agree that the ma Nostra employs lot of people Does this mean we are wise to give priority to such programs BRUCE DONER Coliingwood iGDDD RESOLUTION Dear Sir This its the time of
