it history woman is likely to be commerce secretary Priorities in recreation needs listed Three of the top five priorities identifed by the recent Barrie Community Recreation Conference studying Barries recreation needs relate to the need for improved recrea tion services All the data received at the conference has been analyzed by the discussion group leaders in conjunction with the Department of Parks and Recreation in order of importance the conferences final ranking in terms of what the community feels are the top recreational needs in Barrie are as follows An OverAll Coordinating body for recreation services whose chief responsibility would be to provide vehicle through which total community recreation planning me chanism would be established This would be accomplished through the in volvement of all existing organizations agen cies and individuals presently providing some form of recreational service Better utilization of existing facilities as schools churches private agencies and com mercial space in order to offset many of the needs of existing organizations within the city for additional meeting playing and storage space Establishing third artificial ice surface The majority of delegates felt that it would be desirable to have this as an indoor arena although other groups recognizing the possible costs involved indicated that perhaps an interim step might be an outdoor artificial icc surface which could be con verted to an indoor facility as additional funds became available Youth Oriented Programs were felt to be lacking in Barrie and number of groups felt that this was particularly evident in the lack of recreational programs for preteens and teenage girls Indoor Swimming Pool Although many discussion groups agreed that there was need for an olympic size swimming pool for Barrie sometres plus 15meters for diving area the majority realized that the two and half to three milliondollar price tag may well be beyond the financial capability of city the size of Barrie It was felt that the minimum size pool should be considered 25metre sixlanes Earlier in 1976 city council did approve this type of pool to be built in conjunction with Barries new high school but due to road blocks experienced during hearing of the Ontario Municipal Board OMB on the sub ject the whole concept of pool with the high school was dropped Most delegates felt that there were many community resources available that could become involved in assisting the pool to become reality MuftiPurpose Recreation Centre which would include facilities for both cultural and sports activities Suggestions for facilities to be included in this type of centre were branch library swimming pool arts and crafts rooms gym nasium double pad arena andor athletic facilities One group also mentioned the possibility of developing this type of multipurpose facility in conjunction with school in order to max imize potential land available in addition to making use of the educational facility after regular school hours Development of Paths and trails which included series of interconnected bicycle paths throughout the city which would also serve as multipurpose trail Home for elderly too Not all the identified needs for future recreation develop ment in Barrie dealt with sports rclated programs In their final analysis delegates at the recent Barrie Community Recreation oir ference listed the need for another centre for senior citizens In ll opinion of the titteliCL nlc tXising citizen centre tlarltievt is not of sufficient size to meet the overgrowthg iiitcrest among the senioi c1i7cii ptllialllil of ltanic COH iiiCi Over 800 senior citizens are presently members of Park view and an addition to the eX isting facility or new centre in another part of the city was seer as definite need by the conference The senior citizens centre ranked eighth in fist of 10 lop recreational needs developed by comercuce delegates The need for 11 bandsth in the city and the development of core of volunteer Workers to assist various community organiza tions followed Other recreation needs ex pressed by the conference which ranked close to the top 18 include better transportation services to recreational ac tivities and facilities for senior citizens and the disabled im proved communication to the public from various agencies providing recreational ser vices development of the lakeshore improved play ground equipment in city parks and involvement of the citizens of Barrie in the development of park areas Mayor Parker in hospital

stopgap measures says James Snow minister of transportation and communication MIC Mr Snow told city council by letter the two sets of traffic signal lights and ramp changes will relieve the traffic conges tion until about 1980 in time as traffic volumes increase the improved level of service will again deteriorate he said The ministry budgeted $46000 for the work but does ex pect to spend the total amount periodic monitoring of the system will be necessary he said Ald Ross Archer public works chairman and mayor elect said the new system may not be effective during summer peak traffic periods Were not sure how well the system will work with the heavier volume of traffic in the summer he said Ald Archer said the next stage in solving traffic conges tion on Bayfield Street north of the highway is an extra lane for lcfttiand turns He said the widening ot Bayfield Street to five lanes will hasten the flow of traf fic Im anticipating the widen ing of Bayfield Street will start next year he said The MTC is aware of the situation Mr Snow said the MTC re gional staff is prepared to discuss the road widening with the city administration When the technical details are completed he said the ministry will decide its amount of participation in the work Ald Archer said the city is just completing major traffic signal light changes along Bayfield Street south of the highway The changes he said will provide synchronized traffic lights for southbound drivers ALL GREEN By travelling at 27 miles per hour he said drivers should hit green lights from Highway 400 south to the Five Points in tersection of Bayfield Street Ald Archer said the city spent about $12000 for the im provements which includes new wiring and traffic signal con trailer at Grove and Bayfield streets The traffic lights at Sophia Wellington and Grove streets he said will take 80seconds to switch from green to green Also there will be an advanc ed green for southbound traffic on Bayfield Street at Grove Street and one for eastbound traffic on Wellington Street at Bayfield Street DORIAN PARKER statement Workers start strike PARIS Renter French gas and electricity workers began 48hour strike today in
