yaw lovssm lm as pro Marita only an out ou bowm scheme for motion aid fireprOteetion utilisation at the recent meeting in Barrie of fire chiefs and members of different cautious is sometth that the members of the various fire departments payout generally The question arising is whst support will be respective councils give The scheme has been drafted with an eye to civil defence but it could certainly have an extremely important counterpart in peacetime application without any motivat lng force such as war putting it into effect To the guardians of the civic purse strings the entire question like any other files to be considered in terms of how much it will cost Whether an equitable system can be Worked out is something that will undoubtedly give the planners headache In projecting scheme such as this into practical focus there are bound to be many problems which will have to be sorted out The basic idea however of system of fire prevention which could integrate the var ious services in county for example is worth deep consideration and even the headaches Municipalities are bound to consider fund amentally just how such scheme of mutual aid would affect their particular setup loc ally No one could possibly consider entering into an arrangement with neighbouring org anizations if the burden were to prove too great The fire department is the frontline defence of any community and it will al ways be that that selfsame defence must never be allowed to weaken At the same time another aspect of the situation has to be taken into account When Martin Hurst assistant deputy fire mar shal addressed the special meeting on this question he gave striking example of just how important mutual aid scheme could be He told the visiting fire chiefs and officials that he had been told that Toronto could not handle two large second line fires and at the same time provide skeleton service for the rest of the city It is worth considering what might hap pen in smaller towns were similar situa tion to arise Today with the spread of industry it isthe small towns which are gradually having their fire risk increased No municipality will grudge new industrial plants and other concerns setting up within the local boundaries but do those same people everconslder in relation to any such influx the added potential burden which is being placed on their oWn fire department Could Barrie for instance remain com pletely independent unit Anyone who gives the question the slightest thought would know that it could not No one could expect the department here to effectively tackle major fire by itself It would be outside the bounds of reason to expect the men we have would be able to cope with such anemerg ency Despite the pride we have in our own brigade it is clearly recognizable fact that assistance would him to be enlisted similar situation arose recently with fire which broke out in ElmvalesMen from iBarrie and other places turned out to do their hit assisting the local men there With out that assistance the damage that did result could weil have been infinitely greater Thus the position exists that in cases of large fires one station may cailon the help of neighbouring units It is not hypothetic inl prdblem but one which reaches out and affects the lives of every person living in any community Lamentably though it may be it is often the case that people simply will not wakeup to possible danger until tragedy strikesright into their midst Ascheme of mutual aid between the fire fighters is nothing new It works out on the flocalascene sporadically when the necessity We In 99 cases out of hundred assistance here is bound to bother one occasion when another department may be faced with an morality on its home scene The delay in positioning aid framlfurtherflung units may have sprofound effect on situation the 3301 Which may have been averted iliibe forthcoming from our neighbours but No personcountry or organization can re laton independenthach hasto fire is perhaps the greatest fweiofthe earth Itissome alwaysbewnhus We have whoheroically give thelrtimeandgef oiled up aVi forts lives in protecting their friends and neighbours It is to be hoped that the various muni cipalities in Slmcoe County will give great consideration to this suggested scheme With Fire Chief Irwin having been appointed district deputy fire marshall to coordinate the various departments in thecounty the other municipalities will look to Barrie Town Council to give lead as to what line should be taken There is only one sensible and urg entlyneeded decision to take back the fire departments to the hilt They know bet ter than anyone else the dangers that could arise They realize they have nothing to idse by having completely organized system of strong units combined into one strong force They realize they have great deal to gain from mutual fire aid Editorial Notes have known vastquantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face Dont trust that conventional idea Dishonesty will stare honesty out of coun tenance any day in the week if there is anything to be got by it Charles Dickens In the last 50 years owners of automotive vehicles have been taxed hundreds of millions of dollars probably much more in fact that the total amount of money spent on high ways in the same period From onequarter to onethird of what these people pay for gasoline is provincial tax or for an average car about half cent for every mile travell ed Without the car and truck owner and the special takes they pay on the fuel to operate these vehicles says The Financial Post there would be no modern highways in Canada There is limit as to how much tax the mot orist and his car can or should be asked to pay There is one topic peremptorin forbidden to all wellbred to all rational mortals namely their distempers If you have not slept or if you have slept or if you have headache or sciatica or leprosy or thunder stroke beseech you by all angels to hold your peace Ralph Waldo Emerson OPINIONS OF OTHERS What Would Replace Sport La Patric Montreal Sport is here to stay it is not people to demolish ii that are needed Like lot of us it needs psychol ogists anti people to administer treatments Youth is hungry for healthy exercise ailment for its prOper passionsand ripe age demands moral distraction to counteract immoral wanderings Furthermore man remains big child After yoJn he accepts other littleihings which help mental escapes and cradle him in ideals And if sport dies with what will it be replaced The world will always have too many vandals who will leave ruins for heritage Medical Deductions Sudbury Star Deduction of all medical expenses from income for income tax purposes was among the resolutions en dorsed at the annualconvention of the Ontario Med ical Association in Hamilton There has been considerable pressure on Ottawa from all sources to relieve the burden of taxation on those distressed by medical expense but the federal government has turned deaf ear in this direction Just before the presentation of the last federal budget by Finance Minister Abbott it was freely pre dicted that the government would at last institute this form of tax relief It was great disappointment to the people when such was not the case Now that the medical profession has also gone on record as favoring the measure it is possible that it will receive more attention in parliamentary circles than was the case when it was but topic of conver sation among the men on the street Thech of Coffee Sudbury Star We stand shoulder to shoulder with the Belleville Intelligencer when it pertinently asks Why does coffee cost from 18 to 20 cents pound more in Can ada than in the United States The same question was asked in The Sudbury Daily Star couple of years ago when we recalled howcoffee beans were piled up and burned in Brazil tomaintain the high price on the worldmprkets There Was also the suggestion atthdttlmethatcof fee was controlled by monopoly and we have never seen any evidence of denial that the world dishis bution of coffee is not contrdlled Examination of food prices will show that coffee has slipped two or three cents pound in the past month but as good coffee still stays in the 90 dents and $100 per pound category in Canada ave think the lntelligencer asks sensible question All theocoffeecomes from Brazil and it seems highly unlikely that the Brazilians are charging higher price to Canada than they are charging their other customers comments our contemporary fNow that the Canadian dollar is worthmore than the American dollar coffee should be little cheaper in Canada than in the United States rather than gooddeal dearer inodnesdoy Friday TileW

have often thought of some of thc big days and big crowds in Barrie in those days especially at the regattas when oarsmen from all over Canada and the United States took part and crowd of 100000 it was said at the time attended one of those threeday re gottas in 1878 or near then shall never forget those and iiicar trains coming into the station loaded inside and out on the steps and on the roofs of the cars The shore of the bay was cov ered with tents to accommodate the crowds and there was bathing from Deep and SheIIOw to Fish ermans PointPaim Beach had nothing on Barrie in those three days There werewhite bands and black bands came up too For the Queens Birthday snd Dominion Day we used to go round to all the stores and gather up packing cases for barrels and ox heads and carry them up to the Market Square and have bon fire of pile fifty feet high while the fireworks were set off The celebrations in Barrie now seem very quiet to what they used to be And only about two months
