And quite properly so. But why should such accommodation have to be pro- vided by 'private individuals or by a municipality? Care of these transient unemployed should be a direct charge on the governments. Oshawa, Barrie or any other town should not be loaded with the responsib- ility of providing for these lt.inerants. As it is now. some towns see few of them while places on the more travelled routes have them in large numbrs. township and in the county council he has proved himself one of the most level-headed members, a man whose expressed views were always received with at- tention and respect. He is the third Warden Oro has supplied in 40 years. The late James Ross of Guthrie filled this office in 1895 and D. M. McKinlay in 1925. The proposal to establish a branch of the Red Cross Society in Barrie is deserving of hearty support. Dur- ing the War, Barrie had a very active branch of this famous organization and its workrooms were a gath- ering place for women of all denominations who worked devotcdly in providing needed supplies. On account of thedistrcss caused by present conditions there is much need for such an organization today. It could bring added comfort to many a home and be a vaulable aid to the Central Relief Committee.

So clut- tered up were the front entrances to hundreds of homes that the owners took offence. They wrote let- ters to the newspapers complaininiz of the habit. Then one citizen was seized with a bright idea. In a letter to the press he urged the offended citizens to mail circulars back without postage to the firms which sent them out. The idea caught on and letters by the hundreds flowed into the mail. The firms which sent out the circulars were penalized by having to pa) ; double postage. Thev at once refused acceptance. Hence the problem facing the postoffice. The mail collectors have been loaded down with letters which have to be delivered to the postoffice. The carriers have again to take them to the firms. Then they have to bring them back to the postoffice when they are refused. Next the letters have to go`to the dead letter office where they are destroyed. All this means a great deal of extra work for the officials and no remuneration. It is altogether a novel procedure. If the merchants used space in their local newspapers to advertise their goods and service such a condition \` .)'.lld tic`. afiac. OPINIONS OF OTHERS ..u_, u. vllnn ,-nu-um: nu nuuuutu.
