Jory, Hubbard and Vickers, the advisory committee Appointed for initiating action in connection with the propoaed demonstration in June, have pre- pared a report for presentation lo the Executive which réads as follows -- Much time and reflection have bapn given to our efforts, thus ff, in every move that has been made and in the naming of our Exeedlive we have had three es- sential characteristics constantly in mind, namely, adaptability to the duties assigned, a willingness to make the required sacrifice and a personnel that would be a guarantee thal harmony would prevail, even in disagreement in arriving at coneluxions, We present for your aduption the following list as the control. ling force of the Demonstration: Hampton-£. Jory, Chairman of Executive: George Vickers, {st Vice Chairman, George D. 'Hub- bard, 2nd Vice Chairman; W, R. King, Secretary; TT. Beecroft. Treasuror; A. 'G. | MacLellan. Chairman 'Advertising; Dr, H. Arnail, Chairman Band Tourna- ment and Tattoo; Frank H. Hurl- burt, Chairman Parade ang Nov- elties; S.. W. Moore, Chairman Decorations; G. 0. Cameron, Chairman Parks, Fireworks and Police; F. C. Lett, Athletics; A. F. A, Maleomson, Chairman Old Boys and Old Girls; H. A. Sims, Chairman Receplion and Thor- oughfares. As we proceed other features may present themselves that re- quire special committees, and such may be constituted, not los- ing sight of - the three special traits of charactor, We have been in communica- lion with Henry Meyerhoff, Inc., Amusement Contract New York, as to new thrillers and will shortly have a visit by their agent. You may deem it a satis- ry ment to leave pre- y efforts in such matters with the Chairman and Vice Chairmen, We would further suggest for your approval that the dates of the celebration be Monday and Tuesday, June 21 and 22. In this choice we are governed by several features. While Mon- day is an awkward day for, the fexeculive and Committees, yet the week-end would see the town fill up by the arrival of scattered re- lalives and friends of families resident here. Then this period is the least busy in agrarian pursuits, the temperature should be moderate and the risk of bad weather re- duced to a passing thunderstorm. The Departmental Examinations, if 18 true, are on at this time, but surely some adjustment is feas- ible whereby the interests of the struggling aspirants for a stand- ard of education that will bring them fame will not suffer. The outstanding feature, we beg to suggest, should read: "Barrie's Demonstration in jonour of Simcoe's Demobilized "itizen Soldiers," The local branch of the G.W.V. A., apart altogether from the Re- ception Committee and every cit- izen of Barrie, should take upon itself the obligation of meeting and registering every visiting veteran and give to each a fitting welcome. Central and commo- dioug space on th&ground floor or iff @ large tent will be called for. i Anticipating the adoption of the foregoing arrangement we have added, in almost every in- stance, with the approval of the chairman, two names to each committee, with a view to facil- itating organization that every department will get under way with the least possible delay. The Committees thus constituted are as follows: W. A. Turner and H. J. Heath. Bands and Tattoo--Dr. H. T. Arnall, E. G. Redditt, Byron King. 'arade and Novelties--Frank H, Hurlburt, T. R.

Small committees function more ac- lively and effectively. We would suggest weekly con- ferences of the Executive, aay Monday evening at 8.15 (not 8.16) with adjournment at 9. Chairmen must not expect to discuss their--whole program at a single sitting, but should al- ways have a list of immediate essentials for consideration. To the point and brevity should be the habit. Advertising, bands, athletics and old boys departments should have precedence in the order named. ™ Immediate necessities are 2000 letter heads, 5000 envelopes and 10000 stickers. - To modify or add to this state- ment should form our principal theme at this our executive or- ganization meeting and get. each chairman in line towards the rounding out of his committees, and thus pave the way for defin- ite, Progressive effort at our con- ference a week hence, Progress will seem slow for a time, but time is necessary to mould out best. judgment.
