and also to raise contributions for this organization Tags will be sold but all contributions will be entirely voluntary MEN OF RESOURCE No other business presents such chal large to young Canadians as farming As way of life it demands skill ability and char acter to high degree Anyone can make living of sorts in the city But to be really successful farmer man needs wide variety of abilities and qualities Coupled with good health common sense and genuine love of the land he must be something of soil technician crop expert gardener orchardist blacksmith electrician carpenter butcher veterinarian mechanic lumberman weathermanand bus iness man He needs common sense to judge what to grow and to determine the best times for plowing and seeding and to solve the enor mous number of minor and major difficulties that arise on farm In addition he requires an acute market WAcnser torjudgeithe bestitime for selliiigior withholding crops or animals There is little use in disposing ofor growingvcertain crops or stock when the market is gluttcd with them Astor the other skills Paw the tractor has broken down again Can you fixit Dad willIyou take look at the grey mare Shes gooey5a

cannot look utter tlzc many people of our district who want to our hockey and hear our music but ct It is not good public relations for liar llt ltl liar tltl oiltcr Til Naturally the only objection can he is it raise the tax rate Granted the town needs new schools and new hospital ul we will have them But this arena prov position isna straight matter of business The iarena commission have stated that they have every reason to believe that with big lucr and better arena which includes new tlighting new roof and more allroiind ac connnodaton the increased revenue from all coinr to isourccs should be more than enough to cov Icl the cost of each years debentures That its over and above normal operating costs Debentures each year will be 8883886 All lthc arena commission asks the ratepayers of Barrie to do is to guarantee these debentures They believe from their estimates and poten tial contracts with hockey clubs and major attractions that they can gain enough rev enue to cover the debentures so that thc ratepayers wont have to pay any of the cost of the alterations The ratepayers of Barrie are asked to have faith in the future of the Town and District and back the arena pro posal If the proposal is approved Barrie would then have an arena second to none estimat ed worth $375000 at cost very much below that figure an arena of which not only the Town but the District can be very proud IREIIENDOUS SCALE 0F IEACEIIAIE PROGRAM 0F CANADIAN RED CROSS Red Cross Society for 1948 recently dis 26 revenue from such sources as government and municipal grants

experts they need even if they of Nurses is one of 100 branches across Can can afford to They must rely on their own wits and ingenuity The fact that so many do this with so much efficiency places the

the Town of Barrie will go to the polls to vote you infavor of the Town of Barrie making grant to the Barrie Arena CQmmissin not eitceeding $131500 for gplagrging the Barrie Arena The Examiner believes that this proposit ionis worthy of support fact it is an op portunity Which should not be turned down because thetime is now and some years later mightbe too late The Arena was turned over to the Town of Barrie in September 1945 by its original owners the shareholders of the BarrieVAgrir cultural Arena Limited at nominal charge of one dollar The Town issued debentures of $30000 for an artificial ice plant In three years the municipallyappointed arena com mission which consists of three members of counciland two ratepayers appointed by the council have reported an operating surplus of over $17000 Ihlssum has been turned in to improvements on the building for inst ance monolithic marble floor so that the arena could be available for allyear activ ities concrete pit for removal of

were turned over to tenants at an official ceremony last Wednesday the attendance was not large The ceremony had been pushed ahead week and there was no chanceto advertise it in this paper The at= fendance was only fair and consisted mostly of ladies and children from the immediate neighbor hood and those who had been speciallylasked to be present An opportunity was given to two of the new houses We thought it rather pity that more Fergus people could not see into these houses After all this is one of the big projects of the year in Fergus The new subdivisioniwill make history Besides the residents of Fergus have large financial stake in the project Finally everybody likes to look into new house We asked Mr Wallis of Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation if it would be possible to have one or two houses open at later date after the paper came out last week We explained thatiwe thought other people should have chance to see inside He agreed and made arrangements for the one house to be open Sunday The attendance on Sunday showed that his thoughtfulness was appre ciated look through thinks and believes and wants and dreams It is frequently too prom inently obvious that

supervised areas in our playground system and here we had 583 registered childrenand tavern aged daily an attendance of 250 The playgrounds are situated pres ently one in each ward and here the
