Busy Dog Days The children will be out of school and tho dog days will be with us by the end of the weekdays when the children will reVel in the sun and water that abounds in this part ofthe country and days when we look for ward to that brief two weeks relief from nor mal routine when time is our own to enjoy as we please From all parts of Canada and the united states families will come in their numbers to enjoy all that this holiday area has to of fer At least we hope they will come lnthelr numbers and we hope they will enjoy every minute of their stay in this area The wish is baslciilly materialistic for people who Money spent in Barrie or vicinity is of ben efit to the community as whole nut it is easy to be carried away with this business of making money out of the holiday maker it is easy to kill the golden goose by overzealousness If we want to see them back again next year the extraction must be painless They must feel that they have had their lnoneys worth and that they have been welcomed to the neighborhood for something more than the coins in their pocket Little things can make big difference to those who come exploring this way in the holiday mood For instance many towns have endeared themselves to the visiting motorist by sending pleasant cautionary letter rather than extracting fine for min or motoring infractions It is not suffiClent for Barrie to offer just beauty It is not sufficient for motel to offer Just clean accommodation Nor is it enough or any resort to offer the best swim ming and sports facilities All these things are necessary part of good holiday But to make the holiday com plete there must be also genuine welcome for those on holiday from the le community Peep the Ring No Bells At Mondays meeting of Barrie Town Council an alderman launched crusade against unusual noisesand unusual odors which might disturb citizens were given as examples and pressed furth er the alderman defined the unusual noise as anything that might disturb the sleep of person at night The matter of odor is more difficult to define for it all depends on what one is used to Getting back to noise and sleep we know of some whose sleep could be disturbed by nothing lndeeddurlng the last war the news editor of this paper made quite name for himself by sleeping peacefully immed iately under siren while it moaned its warning There are others often worrying parents or deserted wives who seem to wake into reality as soon as dnes key opens the front door In this matter of sleep and noise it is difficult to find the normal type who will awake only at the unusual noise It is difficult to imagine today what could be considered an unusual noise The mech anical age and the progress of science has familiarlzed us with so many kinds of nois es our forefathers would have certainly con sidered unusual No doubt these little difficulties will be overcome when council comes to consider the proposed bylaw We may live to remem bet tenderly the time when strident horns heralded another wedding the hot summer days when the sharp crack of the outboard motors broke the quiet of the lake and thc nights when the roar of the diesel transport reassured us awakening from minor nightmare Then it will be Barrie The Quiet Town Canadian Bouqqei The mountain alien creamywhite rock flower which blooms in profusion in the north has been chosen by the

was accepted for time but has since been supplanted by the white garden lily in official recognition Ontario chose the white trillium in 1037 After that says Dr Rousseau people began picking trilliums with such abandon that the province was forced to legally protect its flower As far as he knows the trillium cn loys official protection to this day though there are no records of anyone ever having

offering as it does so many of the best programs with such good clarity even without the expenscof roof antennas in many cases if viewers intbis area were still depending on Toronto or Peterborough for their Canadian television there would be many who would be unhappy about situation in view of the uncertainty of receplon quality from these points You willperhaps be interested in the reac tions of some local viewers and may be able to answer afew of the questions that have been raised about your new project number of viewers still like to turn to the Buffalo stations and to Rochester on occasion to pick up some of fair favorite programs which you do not carry For instance we know of many sport fans in the area who enjoy the baseball games on those three stations on Saturday afternoon Ind who lpnlrldr ward with anticipation to the American profes sional football games on Sunday afternoons in the fall There areof course many other network shows which are carried on WBEN WGR or KRDC which are not available on any Canadian channel and snme of these have built up quite large followings wnh this in mind some of these people are wondering if your new lower and improved signal is likely to have any further effect on the signals received here from American stations particularly channels and There is of course some inter ference on these channels from CKVR now and file extent of it depends largely on the weather These people are wondering if the new CKVR sig nal is likely to increase this interference on sets in this area making reception all but an imposs ibllity Still other viewers wonder lfyou think the day will ever come in Canadian TV when private stations such as CKVR will be nble to have greater individual latitude in choosing programs so that you might be able to secure either live oriilmed versions of some of the American pro grams that are not now available on Canadian screens We realize that there are many problems in the way of this but presumably
