I 1 Three of the men, who were ex- `- I` hausted by their recent; struggle.I with the storm, dropped down be-' side the heater that takes the chillr off the cells, and at once fell asleep. Presently the air, which reaked of' sodden garments that had come into . too close contact with the heater, l was rent by the band-saw quality of the lusty snores emenating from the ildog-tired sleepers. Meanwhile, one 3l0f the out-o1'-works, whose clothing `had all the ear marks of better times, divested himself of his wet apparel and washing his one and'on1y suitl of underwear and pair of socks in. `the jail hand basin, hung them to. ;dry above the furnace in such a pre- . carious position that the automatic blower sucked them into the re- pot before they could be rescued . For the moment what seemed a joke ( _Ito his companions, was stark tragedy 1 1`to the undie-less chap, who stood helplessly contemplating the ashes of his B.V.D.'s. Then the frail little woman who keeps the police court and chief's oflice tidy,, having heardl of the poor chap s plight, rustled, some comfortable substitutes for his 1 _ late woolies, and the sunshine ofl. . human kindness once more pene-1 ,.trated the threatening gloom of dls- ] ,~ tress. So completely were the hearts _ 9 of the local police touched by `tnc `. lpredicament of the unfortunate man 1 that one otlicer donated a pair of H~C1ll'I)(.`t. slippers in lieu of socks.

Rptnil gtnrps +n-dnv are contend- ugnung errecvs. Retail stores to-day are contend- ing against prices being too high and economic conditions, as well as lack of business methods in many cases. The retail merchants are all 1 |interested in prots, and there are two ways in which prots may be ,increasesd---by selling more goods and by reducing expenses. More goods may be sold and profits notl increased unless the business is systematized. i The hio-n-r-st itnm of DZCUPIIHP. is SYSLCIIIEIEIZBU. The biggest item of expense is salaries, and much of the success 01 the retail store deepnds on those en-i lgaged as sales people. Salemanshipl ._in its broadest form the power that) influences men and women and moves! ,them to action. The art of selling Isi lperonality and the science of selling; `is knoxvledge of the product. There`- lare many principles of salesmanship,i but rour outstanding things are} easily put into practice-smi1e, be` courteous, know your goods, take an interest i11 your work. Be agree- iable Before you have a chance to `say a word to a customer your ex- pression and atitude have made 2: denite impression. A Teal smile is a good start towards a sale. Courtesy .is a consideration of others. Service is more satisfactory when it is based on courtesy. Knowledge of your goods enables you to advise custom- ers wisely, thereby increasing your sales. Writhout interest in your work no amount of selling skill will give you more than a temporary success. Types of Customers and How to Serve Them For nervous customers, you will need patience, consideration, quiet ;manner, dispatch, calmness. For de- pendent customers, gentleness, decis- 3 '-io-n, sympathy, power to think for, them, helpfulness. For disagreeable ' customers, candid maiiner, knowl- edge, courteous brevity, self control. For trying customers, knowledge of `goods, tact, perseverance, convincing mmmm-, For common sense (-_11stom-I- gouus, Lucu, pe1`eUvt:J.`t:l1cc, uuuvuiculgl manner. For common sense custom- ers, you will need what, they expect, , efcient service. Things Salespeople Should Not Do - Never become familiar with cus- ltomers; never allow clothing to be untidy; never whisper when cusiomers are in store; never wait on custom- ers out of order; never allow stock to }be out of order; never correct a customer s pronounciation; never sug-, gest loud colors to one of mild dis- position. l W'hnf (".11.

'p1'lCl.' LU UVU1'yUIH:. I` One of the best ways to increase sales volume is to sell more to each customer. When properly done, this is a serwice. The customer leaves the store feeling that a favor has been done her. She likes the store, and ;that is the store s biggest asset- igoodwill has `been increased. |TRUCKSTERS TRY TO FOOL I POLICE, PAY HEAVY FINES Presented with Wate1'111an!

Bus Service Abandoned `1 A few who for various reasonsjf found it necessary to travel the] [l{ing s highway on Sunday, were 4 {doomed to disappointment when the Gray Coach oice at the Clarkson Hotel announced to eager inquirers I that the busses were not coming ` through. Later the northbound bus from Toronto staggered into town t after 9 hours on the road. The Orillia bus southbound came in late in the afternoon, and at 7 o clock` was reported stranded at Holland Landing", where the passengers had ` to he put up for the night at the ` farm of Roy Belfrey. A taxi which ` negotiated a trip between Orillia and a point six miles distant, took four ` hours. Tn n 4`..n.4.',. ..oI.-...... L.-. 1.,.,.... 4.1.- BABY MEREDITH ALSO!

Lewis proposed the toast to Canada, referring parti- cularly to sports. Barrie was proud of her representatives in the curling competitions, as well as in other lines of sports. Churchill boys were to be congratulated on winning the Tankard, and it was fortunate that small centres take such an interest in sports as it develops a fine spirit. Reference was made to representa- tives from this town and vicinity who had reached international fame. In hockey, Frank Foyston of Minesing had made a name for himself. In tennis, W. A. Boys and son Jack had} reached the championship class, while every citizen is now proud to claim Fanny Rosenfeldt as a former Bar-` rie citizen.

Gordon Ellis, taxi driver, l whr.-n questioned, stated that if the 1' wallet had fallen in his car he might :|not have seen it for some time as who was very busy and had several I p;Lssenge1's right after he drove ' Showalter from Allandale. When `the alarm was given and he searched the car, nothing was found, so the suggestion that the wallet may not, after all, have fallen into the snow, but into somebody s hands, seems un- likely, unless it was found by a pedestrian. \/\/JJJ4J_4\JL(xJ.1;l 1.&V'bJLL1.

Barrie Board of Education will spend $120,159.80 this year, accord- ing to the estimates arrived at and passed by the board on Monday night. This is some $3,000 more than the 1930 estimates, but the amount the 'to\'.'n council is asked to levy is slightly below that of last year. The levy asked for is $42,749.56 for the Collegiate, and $57,180.93 for public schools, while in 1930 it was $44,- 353.51 for the Collegiate and $56,~ 203.70 for public schools. The de- benture payments are the same as 1930. With an added teacher at the Collegiate, salaries cost more, but the county grant and extra mainten- ance are higher this year. In the public schools salaries are slightly higher, but there was a larger bal- ance on hand at the beginning of the year. l7`nllnu'ino- nvn 1-l-m nan-mun} ~..,., we year.
