Wednesday Nov 1977 WM 7266537 ICIILATIOII 7266539 serving barrie and simcoe county Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited I6 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario L4M 4T6 Elio Agostini publisher ADVERTISING 7266537 cussmios 723241 IIISINESS 7266537 Of sculpture and tapestry Justwhat Barrie always needed tripartite sculpture with sensitive orientation to the wind The ministry of government services of Ontario the people with the job of keepin the broadloom on the floors of government offices has announced what is go ing into the new Simcoe County Courthouse Along with the lriparite sculpture with sensitive orien tation to the wind will be an evocative tapestry il lustrating emotional experience The two works of art the tripartite sculpture and the evocative tapestry cost $25000 and $4500 respectively No doubt the government departments responsible for tripartite sculptures and evocative tapestries will have many reasons why the art costs as much as it does and what it REALLY means We have this feeling that looking at the tripartite sculpture and the evocative tapestry wont tell you what it means The suspicion is that tripartite sculptures and evocative tapestries have to be uh experienced sort of Well let the public judge the impact of the tripartite sculpture and the evocative tapestry It was interesting though to note that this week the Barrie Horticultural Society announced the names of those who in the opinion of the Society have done the best work in making Barrie beautiful The ministry of government services doubtless feels it is doing its bit to beautify Barrie by commissioning tripartite sculptures and evocative tapestries But gee fellas $29500 worth modest proposal We are sure the Barrie Horticultural Society could have done wonders in beautifying Barrie and the court house for $29500 As it is the Society does wonders in Barrie for much much less And the Societys work is probably more easily understood The ministry of government services has not wasted money in commissioning tripartite sculptures and evocative tapestries for the court house But it has spent the money in the wrong place letters to the editor None are correct reader says Dear Sir would like to comment on your editorial lA literacy problem exists in Canada Nov None of the four sentences are correct The reason is that to get injured is con sequence of beaten and should so follow in the sentence as demonstrated below Boxing in which person may get beaten enough or beaten badly to suffer inqu would use either beaten enough or ten badly to make the sentence more COIIClse In addition the relationship person vs Halloween reply Dear Sir This is the first time have written but upon reading the editorial you printed about Halloween few days ago had to reply in your article you questioned whether this day should be observed especially when it comes directly from the practises of the Dmids and the Celts involving witchcraft The Celts first chose the date as their new years eve and intended it as celebration of everything wicked evil and dead It was their belief that by paying homage to their lord of death the souls of the dead would be allowed to return to earthly homes for that one night onl The Celts gathered around bonfire an offered their crops their animals and sometimes themselves as sacrifice While doing all this they wore costumes made from the skins of animals and told one another their fortunes for the coming year The Romans conquered the Celts about 45 AD but the celebrations stayed about the same with somethin newofferings in ceremony to the god ass of fruit and trees from which the act of bobbing for apples comes There is so much more but it would take too many pages to relate it here The World Book Encyclopedia is good source of in formation on the sub ect if there are some who disagree think ack to Monday night and comparethe similarity is present book written before the World Book En gyclopedia told it all centuries ago the Hi eI Levitious 1931 warns against all commu nion with thom that were in league with familiar spirits We are cautioned ainst having anything to do with witches or lack magic or fortune telling it we practice things that come originally from evil and heathen beliefs and say it doesnt mean the same today our saying that does not change the true facts It rson leaves themselves open to these rig then they should not be surpris ed when results show up in their lives in the form of sickness worry troubles etc All this will change if God is allowed to take the throne of ones existence and dispell Satan Yours sincerely Willis Barrie bible thought can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me Phlil plans 413 If we can just remem that He is in us there is no limit

you like to defend your case before discrimination committee Finally do not think that sentence should end with With Try the follow ing Those who think parents have something else with which to dzimn

further cvidence of the mindless hostiit displayed by the FatCat hard roc long haired and slovenly average Canadian youth toward such authoritative symbols as the cop on the beat soldier in uniform on the street or anyone else who happens to be 33 years of age or better but im personally fed up to my Regimental Cap Badge with smart ass students and stress students on the streets of Barrie greeting me with ilcil Hitler or otherwise ridiculing the uniform of this country which incidentally have had the privilege to wear for 23 years both in Canada and abroad One rarely encounters incidents of similar nature in places like Germany the youth have been taught manners and healthy respect for their elders it just wouldnt be tolerated Nor should it Nor am Lets put these young gentlemen into uniform other than the denim one they now wear and see how Well the present crop of hard cases make out in situation similar to that which was encountered by the Airborne Regiment and the RCR ist Bn in Cyprus in 74 75 Canada and in particular Canadas youth has had it too good for too bloody long and its become popular sport to ridicule and discredit anyone or anything that they dont quite understand and havent the in testinal fortitude to become art of Too bad Canada but this is typical byproduct of educating our youth then think were all going to hell in wicker basket Denham Wt 4914th

issue of referendum on capital punishment is defeated by our city council despite the majority of the members being supporters of retention of the death penalty This is similar to what happened in Ottawa where the elected members voted down the retention of the death penalty despite the peoples wishes to retain it it is right though that perhaps refcrcn duin would be too costly although dont know why but those who wish the death penalty retained can and must vote against those candidatis that think differently come the next federal cliction have rcccile great many letters from throughout

Last week saw the annual tour of hobgoblins and monsters throughout the neighborhoods of the country firsonally look forward to Halloween so can share in the fun the kids have get real kick out of the costumes especially on the wee tykes that are barely walking Their mommies and or daddies are seen waiting away from the door when it is opened and shy trickbrtreal is mut tered that each time makes me want to em pty the full supply of goodies into each basket presented Pirates and Darth Vadors made up the majority of the costumes in my area With the odd tramp and clown in the bunch Somehow had less feeling for the big kids that ap peared and they received UNICEF penny and single candy as opposed to chocolate bar and penny for the wee toddlers Next year Ill take my own little Sandra around

dawns You would lie there awake believing that you had heard the voices of men Singing somewhere off in the distance Then the voters became reality and you were sud denly enveloped in that sound as they went marching down the foggy street to board troop train Its strange but wondered than and wonder even now who those men were what their lives were all about how the war af fected them would they come back Whenever hear the robust but somewhat plaintive words of the song its Long Way To Tipperary cant help remember ing the scene of those early morning mar chers as looked out the window to see them filing by like ghostly figunes singing that song And remember the bleak days of 1942 1943 and 1944 when the Allies seemed to suf fer one loss after another and the whole war seemed to have suddenly become an ugly terrible and awesome mghtmare that took young men with un uenching thirst and spat them out either bro en in two or left them beaten and battered long before their due remember VE Day and VJ Day when thousands of people celebrated And remember slogans like The war to end all wars and Peace in our time and remember the celebrations as the troops came marching home Thirtytwo years have assed since the war ended and can we understand how some people who were involved in that ter rible conflict still consider it an indelible part of their life it was unique and unusual time in which to be growing up and as Remembrance Day comes round those are some of the things dthiat think about as though it were yester The Examiner is memberot The Canadian Press CP and Audit Bureau of

Inco problem might be alleviated through work sharing The proposal of course is that the con tinuing workers at Inco should work fewer hours and thus rovide employment hours and therefore for the employees who would otherwise be laid off No matter what happens in the Sudbu situation the underlying situation of wo sharing is one to keep an eye on for we most probably will be seeing and hearing much more of it TECHNOLOGY PROBLEM Directly the Sudbury crisis was caused by world economic conditions and drop in the demand for nickel But underneath there was much more serious problem This was and is the impact of technological advance or as it is commonly termed automation In 1W0 the United Steelworkers local at In co reportedly had 18000 members Today apparently this has dropped to 11000 And this fall off hasnt been caused by lower volume of production it has been brought about by technology The advance of automation which is replacing men with machines ENOUGH JOBS What Sudbury has done is give us graphic example of how technology is changing societ Wit the advances of technolo the prospect the immutable prospect is ever decreasing need for human labor This is something that the world at large hasnt really appreciated yet even though it is the root of the eat unemployment problem that is so trou ling the world at this moment Humanity being what it is it takes im mediate dramas of the moment to appreciate its broad crises This Sudbury has done for us It has given us drama And however it may end that we have faced it and come forward with first solution is more than passing instance it is footnote in time Canada story First carg went in 64 By BOB BOWMAN It is estimated that 50 cents of every dollar earned in British Columbia comes from the forest industry directly or indirectly Its production earns about $450000000 year Export of British Columbia lumber began Nov 1864 when the shi Ellen Lewis sailed from the present site Vancouver with cargo of 277500 board feet bound for Ade laide South Australia It was the beginning of huge export trade that changed the economic complexion of British Columbia The Pacific coast province got its start from the fur trade following Captain Cooks exploration in 1778 The fur trade was paramount until the export of lumber began British Columbia got another break about the same time when gold was discovered along the Fraser River and this gradually led to mining boom not only in gold but other metals as well Today mining produc tion is worth more than $300000000a year Fishing is another important money eamer The Ellen Lewis that carried the first cargo of lumber exported was sailing ba of 336 tons whereas most lumber ships are about 20000 tons It is amazing that she could carry 277500 board feet lumber across the rough Pacific However she made number of trips bet ween Australia and the Pacific coast one of them in the remarkable time of 68days OTHER NOV EVENTS 1613A force from Virginia led by Ca Argall
