parking chairman said at Wednesdays board meeting it might be wor thwhile to go through the twoyear expropriation process to overcome the obstacle of inflated prices downtown landowners tend to ask for property If you ex ropriate the next guy mig not hold out as IOng he said Board secretary Bob Hollywood warned that municipalities have no power to expropriate for rking but Mr Green awyer said after the meeting it would be better to attempt expropriation and see whether parking could be considered municipal purpose as required for the process rather than assume in ad vance that it cant be done He said his committee is also looking for land to lease either directh or through the city for an at tended or automatic ticket parking lot downtown Meanwhile Mr Green said his committee will be putting out map showing the location of existing sites in the downtown area He said he hopes to have the maps in the downtown merchants hands in time for the Dunlop Street mall scheduled for June and Other board proposals to improve the parking situation have met road block at city hall Mr Expropriation considered for parking area in core Green described as kind of depressing recent meeting with the citys public works committee to discuss the proposals Every time you say something theres hun dred reasons why you cant do it he said board proposal to prohibit parking in prime onstreet locations down town before am was rejected because it would interfere with the clientele of some businesses he said The proposal was aimed at preventing store em ployces from filling prime parking spots before customers get chance at them Mr Green said the city apparently has no im mediate plans to add se cond storey to the Collier Street parking garage another board pro osal He said the pub ic works committee appears to have legitimate longterm plans for parking but lit tle in the short run Weve got to keep the pressure on he said In addition to looking for leased land for an attended or ticketed lot the board hopes to try other methods of eeping store employees out of prime onstreet spaces Mr Green noted that city bylaw already prohibits meter feeding so that drivers who put the second dime in the meter are liable fora fine Board chairman Doug Cherry suggested cam aign to implore the sscs to tell your staff to park somewhere else ah 73am Emmi Emotionalism about trapping CITY NEWS The Barrie Examiner Thursday May 13 l976ll fought in schools by trapper Trappers Arent those the heartless fiends who catch cute little animals in cruel leghold traps and let them starve to deaththereby threatening numerous species with ex tinction Garbage says Barries Lloyd Cook president of both the Ontario Trappers Association and the Canadian Irappers Federation And hes taking the trappers message to the schoolage generation in the hope the youngsters will grow up knowing more than some of theirelders Trappers are kind people he told students at Maple Grove Public School this week Cruel leghold traps Mr Cook highlights his talk by catching his hand in trap made for wolvesits just like getting hit with ruler Leghold traps no longer are made with teeth he says and surviving toothed traps are worth plenty as antiques Death from starvation or exposure Many animals caught in such traps are caught under water and die painlessly of asphyxiation he says Those caught on land are found within 24 hours because trappers check their traps daily WONT ESCAPE Within that time period he says animals will not gnaw themselves trying to escape or struggle enough to injure themselves Ive had them lying down LLOYD COOK president of the Ontario lrappcrs the Irappers Association and Canadian sleeping at trapcheck time hesays Endangered species There is not an endangered species among Ontarios furbearing animals he saysbut there used to be before the Ontario Irappers Association and the provincial ministry of natural resources then known as Lands and Forests got together in 1947 to found what Mr Cook calls the most successful conservation program in North America Now he says trapping is adjusted in accordance with animal populations Trapping keeps populations from get ting so large that they are wiped out by disease and trappcrs actually feed fur bearing animals during hard times to keep populations from dropping too low Trappers efforts along with those of wildlife biologists and wildlife Trappers set 15point code In addition to stringent licensing and other requirements imposed on trapping by the provincial government trappers are ex pected to observe 15point rappers code The code covers such sub jects as trapping methods respect for property and passing on the lore of the trade Among its provisions traps on land should be in spected daily short chains should be used to fasten leghold traps to the ground so that trapped animals will not be able to lungc and injure themselves as they would with longer chains traps should not be set where they might catch dogs cats or other animals not Federation catches his fingers in Wolf trap as part of his talk on trapping to students at Maple Grove sought by the trapper landowners permission should be obtained before trapping on private property fecding stations for birds and animals should in main tained on traplincs lcavcr and muskrat in ovcrpopulatcd areas should be trapped heavily trappcrs should help far mers cottagcrs and other landowners catch nuisance animals diseased animals should be reported to the ministry of natural resources mcat from cascasscs should be eaten if suitable or fed to birds or other wild animals trappcrs should teach their children and other young people the principals of trap ping and outdoor survival Public School in Barrie Mr Cook Barrie resi dent told his audience management biologists are necessary for the wellbeing of animal populations he says There is no such thing as nature in balance he says Nature has to be managed Mr Cook who works at Barrie Tanning and main tains sixsquaremile traplinerthc smallest in Ontarionear Severn says he is talking to youngsters in the hope of combatting an at mosphere of emotionalism the mass media have built around trapping Today on your TV and news media you get absolute garbage at times he says Also to blame for misin forming the public he says are some antitrapping organizations but he goes out of his way to say that this criticism does not apply to the Canadian Association for Humane Trapping which he praises as an honest organization doing an honest job As the result of adverse publicity he says the greatest hazard today is widerharvest and new laws based on emotion rather than on biological fact It is the younger generation he says which will some day have to make the laws and manage wildlife and he wants to make sure they have heard the trappers story by then believe that we must get out to this generation to tell them what its about he says tario trappcrs lead North America in humane trapp ing Examiner Photo Basis for todays music education started here by Simpson Tufford BY KEN WALLS Editor Emeritis The Examiner Lloyd Tufford after 43 years retires June 30 as organist and

the church He was the first Liberal elected to the Ontario Legislature for this riding in manyyears Dr Simpson was selected by new Premier Mitchell Hepburn for his cabinet at Queens Park Everyone in town figured Len Simpson was natural for minister of health as he was graduate in medicine who practised in Elmvale and Barrie But Mitch made him minister of education and that was turning point in the provincial system Dr Simp son was staunch on the Rs but also had ideas for progressive learning and was the father of music teaching in schools of On tario Roy McVittie was school in spector for Centre Simcoe then 40 years ago And Dr Simpsons own church organist was Lloyd Tufford Thus began Ontarios first ex periment in public school music Dr Len Simpson of Collier United inspector Roy McVittie and Lloyd Tufford started the teaching of music basics in the rural Schools of Vespra and lnnisfil townships Harold Dempsey handled the other townships in McVitties inspectorate This was great success as evidenced by six suc cessive music festivals in Barrie Arena staged and directed by Tufford and Dem sey No doubt there will pupils of those early years present for the public reception in honor of Lloyd Tufford this Saturday even ing in the Fellowship Hall of Collier United After Lloyd returned from overseas he resumed his position as Minister of Music at Collier United But by 1946 the study of music in schools had been greatly ex panded lhc writer is reluc tant to say it but what the Grits started the Tories car ried on under Premier Drew and George Johnston of Mincsing the new MPP for Simcoe Centre In Barrie the Board of Education engaged Lloyd Tufford as Director of Music for public schools only four then plus one collegiate now Central Howard Felt was board ad ministrator then Allen Fisher was busy at the col legiate teaching English and History plus instrumental music and molding the alreadyfamous Barrie Col legiate Band Angus Ross director of choral music had resigned and Mr Tufford took on the added job for several years of handling the BCI Glee Club which at that time put on Gilbert and Sullivan operettas and won Kiwanis Festival awards in Toronto Also then the public schools combined to put on great music festivals at Barrie Arena about 10 annuals remember Victor Knox now assistant principal of Central and still member of Collier choir being one of the great boy soloists of one of those early festivals Because of new regulations in education these festivals had to be ended about 1960 But in 1967 Canadas Centen nial Year the public schools diuble in number since 1946 presented Barries greatest festival by elementary pupils in the 4000 seat arena Barries Salute to Con federation with full support of Inspector Angus McKay

hope to have them off the ground in another two weeks Examiner Photo Cooperation urged among teacher groups By SHEILA McGOVERN Examiner Staff Reporter RILLIA StaffTeacher federations must stop com peting and place greater em phasis on cooperation said Mickey Contini provincial vicepresident of the Ontario Public School Men Teachers Federation OPSMTF Mr Contini told teachers attending the Simcoe District OPSMTF annual meeting Wednesday that Bill 100 the legislation governing teacherschool board negotiations requires men and women teacher federations give joint ap proval to agreements This has always been done he said but with Bill 100 the federations are becoming tacky and many ne otiating committees have falcn behind awaiting ap proval from provincial ex ecutives Mr Contini said he per sonally believed the federations are competing when for the good of all children teachers and education in Ontario we should be cooperationg The Sault Ste Marie teacher said the first step must be taken at the provin cial level with joint executive meetings at least once man th teacher is teacher no matter where he teaches Mr Contini said and the actions of one affiliate will affect 105000 teachers and all students and parents in On tario MORE VISIBLE There is no doubt the federations have become more visible in the last year he said and it has also been year of confrontation and poorpress Mr Contini said he believed the OPSMTF had taken the first step toward avoiding confrontation last Saturday when it held an in formal fivehour meeting with the Ontario Public School Trustees Association OPSMTF found it had more in common with the trustees than differences he said and the men teachers intend to continue meetings with OP SIA But the trustees questioned why other affiliates had not MICKEY CONTINI attended the discussions and said they would not meet again without all teacher groups present ANNUALMEETING OPSMTF will hold its an nual meeting at the end of June in Thunder Bay to coin cide with the OPSTA meeting he said and trustees and teachers can meet informally and discuss mutual concerns with the hope that these problems can be worked out together But the actions of the provincial executive par ticularly Neil Davis president met with strong criticism from local teachers The Simcoe County teachers expressed concern over letter written to Jack MacDonald president of OP SIA by Mr Davis In the letter Mr Davis saie the teachers did not want con frontation but because of current differences the teachers would find it hypocritical to hold hospitality suite at the OP STA convention George Cooper of Forest Hill School in Midhurst described the letter as ill timed amd petty Two teachers Paul Lindros and Bob Jarman entered motion calling for the local secretary to write to Mr Davis censuring him on the letter Mr Contini said he had not seen the letter before but agreed that it was petty Dome project outlined for county engineers Thomas Rylett of St Thomas is professional engineer concerned with more than his own welfare and he had message for Simcoe Countys professional engineers in Barrie Wed nesday night Think of how much money society has spent on your education Dont think its time you gave some of that back think weve all been into the service club thing where you flip hamburgers at the outdoor barbecue How much is your time worth then IWentyfive cents an hour Consider what youve got to give it you donate your ofessional ability It might for only five hours year but those hours could be wor th$50each Mr Rylett with other members of the London bran ch of the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario has been donating his time for the past year and they have come up with an in teresting proposalgeodesic domes as housing for native people He said the project started when thenProgressive ConI can IIIOMAS RIEll didate James Quittenton ap proached the branch with the problem of native housing There was high death rate on Indian reserves he said partly because of the type of housing they used It was susceptible to fires because it was poorly insulated and needed very hot stoves to heat One of the prime factors in choosing type of housing was ease of construction For this Mr Rylett went to colony near St Thomas where young dro outs and former drug ad icts have built 12 domes ranging from 12 feet in diameter to 40 He said all the work was done by people with little or no experience in construction and that few difficulties in ac tual building were en countered as long as plan was followed Some of the advantages of the dome are obvious the others more subtle First sin ce the support framework is in the shell it provides tremendous open space which can be used many wa It also does better than ox shape in terms of usable floors ace in relation tooutside sur ace Mr Rylett compared cost figures of three storey 40 foot diameter fiveeighths dome with three storey box fiveeighths dome is one with the widest point five feet above ground level Given equal floor areas the dome would cost about $20000 to construct and the box would cost about $25500 Because of the shape Mr Rylett feels it would have bet ter heatholding capabilities than the conventional box and would also be more adaptable to solar heating since it would always have oncsurfact per pendicular to the sun There are problems though First of all the framework is allimportant and cannot be sacrificed for the sake of doors and win dows Since the structure mes triangles windows must be triangular Doors have to be either set outside the framework or adapted to suit triangular or diamond shaped openings The outside covering can be problem too said Mr Rylett The St Thomas group mes polyurethane spray on the exterior as insulation and coating The problem there is that the material can be destroyed by birds He said the group is trying fibreglass coating but he felt the insulation should be in side and the outside could be sealed with some type of coating Shingles or roll covering were out because of the shape of the roof As well he was somewhat worried about the properties of polyurethane when sub jected to fire Some types of it give off toxic gas when heated Mr Rylett said he felt the project labelled Mission for Man was worthwhile and progressing well He asked the members of the barrie branch of the APEO to perhaps donate some of their time and effort to help solve the problems left The Simcoe County Bran ch named new executive at Wednesda meeting Bur nelle Ho gins was named chairman Bill Porter
