While t_he_money voted on Monday ` night is to _be spent in co-operation with other municipalities interested in developing the Trent Valley water- ways as a tourist route, the advers tising will meet the eye of `many possible visitors who will travel to Canada by motor or rail. If the ad- vertising is judiciously done, Barrie- will easily benefit to an extent many times greater than the amount voted. `J nnnnnn 1...

THE COMMUNITY NURSE The Community Nurse Association is urging recognition of its merits. For six months the nurse in `Barrie has been paid by voluntary means.` The sum of $700 was collected from many persons. The collection served a double purpose. It helped in the imaintenance of the service and it proved the willingness of, the Barrie public to co-operate in the matter. of lvigilance toward intercepting disease 1in its incipiency and toward prevent- ting disease from asserting itself in children's lives. From many sources the educational value of the ii'urse s' service to young mothers has been related; the concrete `help to their. little ones acknowledged. Barrie s infant mortality rate has been shown to be almost double that of such towns as Port Hope and Wood- stock, in which towns a com- munity nurse has been carrying on for a much longer period than in "Barrie. Absolute certainty of pre- vention of disease has been instanced in this town, cited by highly reput- able citizens, due to action by the community nurse. * These are little demonstrations of everyday exper- iencs-- right in Barrie. Much is heard about increased taxes to the poor man. children are being helped and doctor bills to himself saved by the com- munity nurse, is not complaining, that can be learned. Deathand taxes are surely more unwelcome than life and taxes. The community nurse aids greatly-in preserving life -and pre- venting both disease and medicine taxes. Barrie today is in a better condition, financially, including its obligation regarding debentures, than` any other town in all Ontario. The town of Barrie, on the undoubted merit of the nurse's service, can well aord to defray the cost of her ser- vices. i ` The poor man whose. There were fewer fatalities on raill roads-l-zrst- year.

A. - H The Mayor and the First Deputy,I Reeve missed the biggest session the Counci1..is likely to have for ..many a` day. But theirecolleagues. were gen- erou_s. They talked the session to death and thereby gave the mis ng' ones a chance to participate in the responsibilities for action on `the numerous propositions presented. At the January elections, Midland. ratepayers voted down a bylaw to_ improve its fire-fighting equipment; Last week it had a $200,000 loss when the Preston store burned down and the loss intaxes caused thereby will be about $6000, enough to have tak- en careof a'larg'e part of the im- provements-desired. The approximate average decrease in prices to the public since the peak prices of 1920 is a little over 24 per cent, says Dr. Hastings, M.O.H., To- ronto. He, adds that there has been practically no reduction in the ex- orbitant rents which have advanced in the past five years_from 59 to 100 per cent in Toronto, and" in some in- stances to 30i0'per cent. The M.Oi.'H. doesn t say what the Toronto. civic government has done to try to `effect lower rents. If he did he would say Nothing ! Other Ontario towns may looki'n vain to Toronto, the Capital of the Province, the home of Reformers,the City of the G ood(`.7) for example in civic affairs looking for bettermepnts. Toronto holds the championship for `blowing bubbles` and shadow boxing, anyhow. A The present generation is not sup- erstitious. Nevertheless, `it has a canny reverence forthe prog'nostica- tions implied by such proverbial signs ....- (U`l1L.. 1.-.... ..'...I 1.3.. ..I....J..... 9! vnvnlu uanysnyu nu; uuvls ynvvv; IIICIL 91511:) as` The bear and his shadow, Walking under a ladder,", the fig- ures ,13, etc. But the thing that gives people a really superstitious dread is the one-minute suspense per- iods. For instance, in that one min- ute if a.certain thing happened one ,might get married, or pay a bill, or get short-changed, or propose, and worse, be -accepted. Or one might sit on- a--- silk hat, miss his train, catch the biggest fish. or a cold. IIe might in that one mmute make his will, drop his bottle of'--castor oil, or get /fired. Nobody is superstitious nowadays--Loh, no; excepting -the other fellow. -- i . V` uvlvul I `Truck with cover, 3 new tires,` newly overhauled motor. .
