Right here in -Barrie the interest was almost as great as though a- provincial or federal election contest was at stake. The 1928 United States president-ial coiitest was history-making. Scores of contributing CilllSL`S could be cited, but the tw_o_chie_f ones were Smith's spectacularcampaign, his rise .(,,,1 east-s-ide newsboy to -pr.esiden_tia_l candi- dq-te, This appealed to the im_agi_nation and h;,m.t strings of `the `hero-worshipping masses. A SNOW-('.:LEANIl\1G BYLAW There is much `humor and not a little truth in Alderman Lang s comment on snow cleaning conditions in Barrie in past years. The Alder- man s complaint is that the `contractor's snow- plows do not clean. To use his own `words: ` The driver sits on two boards, whistles and drives over the drifts. Presumably the phrase was used to illustrate that the snowplows do not always get under the drifts. In view of the approach of winter the comment is timely. But we do not know about the whistling part. He must be a happy `man indeed who can whis- tle through a snowstorm, but there are such men. Perhaps, in the Case of the driver of the snow plow, he whistles because he is in a much i l1OI\I\Inw- I\r\n:-. -- ...,,...., tU uuuau principles put nearly half of the male population of Canada of military age in uniform. Discipline made it possible to train these men with little or no previous experience to a state of military efficiency second to none. Endurance of the `highest order saved the day at Ypres, carried weary men through the pitiless mud of Passchendael to victory and produced that tenacity in attack which resulted in captures by the Canadian lCorps out of all proportion to their numbers. Add to these, initiative born of life in a country of abundant opportunity, and we have the whole story of Canada s great effort. u - V w A I Q \r\.|n The explanation of the responseof the men of Canada and the other Dominions to the call of duty can be summed up in a paragraph: Loyalty to British principles put nearly half of l Domrlntinn nr (`anemia A`: ...:m....

The `battle casualties during the war were 51,674 killed and died of wounds, and 149,732 wounded.` A comparison with the American losses show how great our efforts . were in proportion to our population. The bat- tle casualties of the U.S.A. were 50,280 killed and died of wounds, and 205,690 wounded. Thus from our population of 8,000,000 as compared with their population of 100,000,- 000 we had more than twelve times as many killed proportionately and nine times as many wournded. .

Mr. Williams has devoted generously of his time and money in one way and another in serving associations and institutions that are of the utmost importance for the advancement of the communities of Ontario. ffhe Ontario and Quebec division was fortunate in securing him for its president until it getsrwell away. .. n. oluciair, ,LlDel`3.l leader, has de- clared for abolishing the amusement tax. Out- side the large cities, where people spend mil- lions every year on amusements, paying as high as two and three dollars a seat, there is little demand for the removal of this impost.] Taxes are necessary to run the government and there % is none more justifiable than a tax on amuse- ments. People who can find money to pay lib- erally for amusements can very well afford to pay the few cents additional asked by the gov- ernment. Since exemption was givenon admis- sion fees up to twenty-five cents only a small percentage of concerts` and picture shows out- side the cities are now taxable. Saturday s, in particular-must have marvelled at the erudition and command of English dis- played `by some children in their early teens. As Mr. Marlin stated, the most real benefit in such contests will come to children who choose subjects with which they are familiar and who do their own preparation.

The electorate would have found no fault with the chairman had he gone ahead and or- dered the phone,'even if he had to fight about it after. It may not be according` to Hoyle, but it is common sense. Surely Council has suffi- cient confidence in its Works Chairman to al- low him to authorize an expenditure of $3.25 :1 month. And it was refused on economy grounds. Where s the economy? One emergency tele- phone call might save the town hundreds of dollars. Perhaps this will be demonstrated one of these days. .I 1.----_--.-- Neil McBride and his running boys are to be complimented highly on winning the Finlayson Cup.

In this test a tractor was run continuously for 17 days and nights, drawing a disk plow, _during which time the outfit traveled 1,330 miles and disked 1,280 acres ofland.

Only one case of -mechanical trouble develop- ed, the loosening of a valve push rod, but this was adjusted without stopping the engine.

Sir Wilfrid received the returns on his way east. He was told he had but one seat (Provencher) from the Ottawa River to the `Pacific Coast. His reply constituted one of the very few inter- views he ever gave the press. He uttered but one word, incredible, and retired to his state room.

He does not have to trudge through it, andso he whistles. There is a serious side to this thing. A town- wide snow-cleaning bylaw, meaning that one s , sidewalks must be cleaned before 9 a.m. or he must face the Cadi, strikes right into the home. A town-wide snow-cleaning edict `is fine- in theory. In Barrie, however, there are plenty of wide open spaces abutting homes where the people are aged or there is no male in the house. It might be said that cleaning the side- walks is an old man s job or that there are `plenty of others willing to do it, at so much per -hour. But in many cases even this plan `is not feasible locally. All sidewalks here are not cleaned of snow because people are lazy, al- though laziness is often the reason. There are other good reasons. r~n....A:1 _-...i The Examiner for 1 Thursday. November 3. 1923 ne printing. 98c 98c 98c .. uvv yxuw, uc WHIDUCS DCCQUSC position than the man tru l`11,...,.
