Page Two Fortunate in local Historians _ -Collingwood Bulletin--J. H. Bennett who has liv_- ed in" Barrie for three scoreand [some years recent- ly indulged in reminiscences of the county town be- fore the Women s Canadian Club. They are now i being passed on to the public throughthe columns of The Examiner, the first installment appearing in the last issue. Beinggiven from first hand informa- tion and from personalexperience, they cannot. but prove of very great interest to Barrie people`, past and present. The Examiner is peculiarly fortunate withlocal historians, such as Fred W. Grant and -J. H. Bennett at its elbdw and with its"customary enterprise - is takin full advanta e . tunity afforded. 8 i ' e g of th,e' op-pm` lUl Uul uuuxcauu uuux auyyxy. It would appear,` however, that such is far from being the case. J. E. Whi.telock, of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, who was the speaker of the day, told the local milk pro- l ducers that the dairying industry hereabouts, as compared with standards reached in other coun- tries and even in counties of our own province. such as Oxford, was only in its infancy and that ; they had much, very much to learn. He told it in a nice` way, of course,-_ but he left the very plain inference, He said there were plenty of farmers, and dairymen too, who were keepin , unknowingly, low-testers, or unprofitab e cows-cows which were producing less than 6,000 pounds of milk a year as compared with others which were producing twice that -amount, whereas, with the proper system and a little study and thought it was quite easy to perfect a herd of the latterclass. , III`_!L-I..-1- u.{.L 4|-`an `:"IIII"-:l'\Y1 \rP!'\f Y\`Qi"`V_ hero or me latter crass. - Mr. Whitelock put the situation very plainly. He asked how many manufacturers, with their cost accounting systems, would continue a line which continually showed a loss. Yet farmers and dairymen were doing this very thing. TLA An`: AC 'dllLl u'd.ll_y1ucu WCIC Uklltls |,.uI'a v The day of the accredited herd,Jtoo, was pre- dicted by Mr. Whitelock as .not far distant. Prince Edward County, he said, had already rid itself of tubercular cows and other Eastern Ontario counties had signed to the extent of 90 and 95 per cent. in favor of the government test and weeding.-out process. One hundred per cent. pasteurization was another objective not very far away, he said. ' So it will be seen that local dairymen have their work cut out to keep pace with the de- mands constantly being made by public health regulations. They have already made_ a splendid start and accomplished much in three short years and their success is a striking example of what cooperation can attain, for they have virtually taken over the work `of the Board of Health as._regards milk inspection, or at least made it a very simplething, a mere matter of formality. Barrie milk producers deserve the thanksand support of the public. '- It was a splendid thing to hear; members of the Barrie Board of Health tell members of the Barrie Milk Producers Association at the latter s banquet last Mondaythat the cleanliness and i strength of the town's milk supply had greatly ` improved since the formation of the association three years ago and that there was now little or nothing to complain about. Such statements are very reassuring. One is almost lul_led into be- -lieving that we have, with maintenance of exist- ing standardsand. constant` vigilance, almost reached the millenium in respect to protection for our domestic milkksupply.

But the truth came out recently. This revenue goes to the man or concern holding the. checkroom concession. The girls, who work long hours, get small wages in com- parison with the amount of money given.` them in nickles and dimes, and s'ometimes, quarters. Since it was" revealed that the youngladieswho dispense "good cheer in their service get little. more than a bare living return, there has been a conspicuous easing up in the tipping practice. ~ B.l;?...... --- 3.... .. --- --_ ,o ,, , ,. ,.

It says: Among these causes can be cited the desire to see an article before it is bought, dissatisfaction with purchase and- last but by no means least, the local/press urging in season and -out of season that the citizens of every town should patronize their own mer- chants. rnl I, 0 __ 1'-.. -_ :1. _...-.. ll-..-L to themselves andto their towniin winning over fifty per cent. of total honorsat the big Toron- to bonspiel, in which nearly one hundred towns and cities of the province were represented.

Looks if-Ads if The nurses-in-trainingfin a Guelph hospital showed a lack of appreciation of the ethics of their profession when they went on.strike, ap- parently because they objected to some of the l discipline to which they were subjected. Their proper course was to have laid their grievances before the Board. When considering such an in- cident as this the public should bear in mind that it is of very great importance that there should be a firm-discipline and a strict obser- vance of regulations in hospitals if the service is to be adequately maintained and the nurses are to receive that thorough training necessary for their profession and learn that sense of responsibilit'3`f so essential in a good nurse. sustaine The hi h-backed, form-tting seats are richly upholstered.

Mr. Ross has successfully practised his profession in this town for over thirty years and is eminently fitted for the high place to_ which he has been called. He isan ex-mayor of Barrie and in many ways has played an active part in the life of the community. His exper- ience in municipal affairs and his wide know- ledge of conditions throughout -this county should be of decided advantage in discharging the duties of his office. The appointmentis one that meets with the approval of the members of the Bar throughout Simcoe and of the gen- eral public as well. The Examiner heartily joins in the cordial congratulations being extended to Mr. Ross on his elevation to the Bench;
