weekend activ ities And all are giving freely of their time and equipment energy field surrounding high voltage transmission lines is not dangerous Mr Inkis was standing several feet east of two pareallel Millers natural good humor and enthusiasm was contagious though There were no frowns And suc cessive beginnings to Fid dler on the Roof bore repeated smiles few tries and it really began to sound almost professional The program is well designed to attract and hold interest Five of the 10 pieces are arranged by Joel Miller putting them within the capabilities of his young performers

re sidents In fact only six people wore the styles of the Twen ties They did it all the way too arriving in Don Han neys 1928 Packard That Packard incidentally carried Charles Lindbergh in New York tickertape parade when he returned from his successful flight across the Atlantic The Hanneys and the peo ple with them were little disappointed that other peo ple didnt wear Twenties styles and it seemed most of the others wished they had Many said they considered it then decided against it at the last minute because they figured they would stand out in thecrowd MARKED ANNIVERSARY The dance

extra high voltage EHV trans mission lines may experience the discomfort or nuisance of static electricity but they will not he in immediate danger according to Ontario Hydro llydro has been faced with opposition and fear of high voltage lines particularly with the construction of the double circuit 500000 volt BradIcyGeorgetown line The opposition has come mainly from farmers who believe the high voltage lines running across their farm land will be hazardous to themselves and their animals In hopes of offsetting these fears Hydro held special demonstration for reporters Friday at their Essa Demonstration Centre six miles west of Barrie The centre is located under Hydros only existing 500000 volt lines two parallel 500 mile affairs running from the James Bay Basin to Klein burg Walter Inkis Hydro development engineer gave several indoor and outdoor demonstrations in an attempt to prove the electrical energy field surrounding the trans mission lines does not present health hazards or interfere with radio and television signals The most frequently found charge under the transmis sion lines is electostatic elec tricity he said similar to the static electricity picked up walking across carpeted floor or on the surface of television set While strong electric fields will light fluorescent light Mr Inkis said no visible light is roduccd in such lamp in si or outside the dem onstration building However he demonstrated that the light could be ilr luminated when held near 25 millionvolt static elcc tricity generator and by rubb ing his feet across carpeted floor SlliIIIIINlIE Outside the demonstration building he used an umbrella to prove the charge of an elec trical energy field around any transmission line is low at ground level No person should enter within 20 foot clearance of high voltage wire he said and the wires have clearance of 45 feet Standing several feet to the east of the wire where the electrical energy field registered 35 kilovolts per metre he held an umbrella over his head and showed the electricity in the metal han dle only amounted to slight tingle selection of typical farm fences located in the worst possible location under the high voltage wires were used to show the electricity car ried in them would not harm animals CHARGE DRAINS Mr Inkis explained that typical farm fences drain static charges through metal or wood posts or contacts with the ground or grass He stuck his tongue against one fence to show the charge is minimal An electric fence picked up charge of 1000 volts but Mr Inkis said this could be drained off by filter that would not interupt the normal electrical pulses The rubber tires of an automobile will ground any motor vehicle parked under the wires he said including tractor In some cases however charge may build up on the vehicle If farmer were us ing old tires and stopped on top of plastic fertilizer bags farmer could pick up sparks and the element of suprise could prove dangerous He suggested farmers wear leather or rubber boots to en sure they are grounded and nonconducting plastic could be used to cover the seat in the cab of the tractor In order for farm building to pick up electrical charges he said it would have to be floating Metal farm buildings rare ly pick up char es because they are grounde by plumb ing telephone wires and con tact with the ground Mr Inkis admitted however there is danger in farmer filling the tank of his tractor underneath high voltage line Sparks could created that would ignite the gasoline Because of this possibility he said Hydro urges farmers not to fill their tanks under thewires To demonstrate the remote possibility of this happening Mr Inkis attempted to ignite can of gasoline but was unable to do so The chances of tank ig niting when perfectly in sulated from the ground are one in 1000 he said and when not insulated they are one in billion Dr Dales Black staff physician in health services with Ontario Hydro said he is convinced there is health hazard associated with living under the wires RS BUT Mr Mayor who was ma yor of Barrie in the 19405 said he was present at the 1947 meeting when the Chamber took its present form When formed in 1926 it was known as the Barrie Board of Trade Placemats for the mid night buffet of salads and coldcuts were reproduc tions from 1926 issues of The Examiner and the Northern Advance another weekly paper of the time The Examiner which was already 63 years old carried front page stories about the reorganization of the Board of Trade and community day it held to provide day of entertainment Another front page story concerned the annual report of the Womens Rest Room The Barrie Examiner Saturday June 12 197611 which was justifying its ex istence and proving rest room indeed to tired mothers andlittlechildren Another marked the begin ning of membership drive for the Board of Trade and there were plans to have ge eral meeting and elect an ex ecutive Apparently the re organization was successful The page included two stories of sailing regattas which were delayed one week by giant waves on Kem penfeldt Bay The Advance had some what more flowery style than the Examiner From the se cond regatta story In atonement for his harsh treatment of the previous week the disciple of Puni Weather effaced himself from the scene on Saturday and his distant kinsman ap peared with perfect at mosphere to even the score With clear blue sky and the waters of Kempenfeldt Bay shimmering slightly in the faintest of breezes finer setting for regatta could scarcely be imagined In fact the weather was made to or der The Advance also carried story of the election of of ficers with Bryson named president The story said Barrie should have several industries and if the advantages of the town are properly set forth there is no reason why some industrial expansion should not be seen herelong Sounds familiar MR AND MRS GRANT MAYOR LOOK OVER 1926 BARRIE EXAMINER Monday and Tuesday nights next week members of Barrie Kiwanis Club will be visiting residences in the city on their annual Peanut Sale Net proceeds are used for the clubs welfare work mainly among underpri vileged and crippled children Kiwanians and their vol unteer helpers will be peddl ing tins of peanuts tins of mixed nuts and chocolate bars Members have been group ed in seven teams Captains are

not to fill the gasoline tanks of their tractors underneath very high voltage transmission PLACEMAT Kiwanis peanut sale proceeds go to children club work Kiwanian Ken Walls stated In Barrie we have tried various things but finally set tled on the sale of peanuts in June plus sale of Scottish biscuits during Christmas season This has meant lot of hard work specially tough on the feet LOCAL

High School in Al liston Thursday He was in correctly identified as trustee Sam Neilly in Shotograph published Fri av wires Friday Walter Iii kis development en gineer for Ontario Hydro attempted to show repor ters there is remote But financially it been worthwhile The club nets about 40 per cent on the average sale In some cases we admit the price of $1 and $2 per tin is above some store sale mark but remember that if you pay the Kiwanis amount good part of it is donation for work among crippled chil dren such as treatment and summercamping Kiwanis of Barrie was started in 1922 first service clubhere All those years the Kiwanis work has been among under privileged children and since 1928 the club has been official representative as fundraiser for the Ontario Society For Crippled
