i1th barrio Examiner lhlblishcd by Canadian Newspapers Ltd 16 Bayneld Street Barrie Ontario PAGE FOUR Flimsy oscmnu mo EDIT The Magic Of ChriStmas Ct There is nothing wrong with the spirit or the people of Barrie This is evident in the general spirit of confidencelhat pervades the atmosphere of the Christ mas season in the City It hasnot been an easy year and from many quarters we have heard despond ent cries Money has been tighter and the brilliance of an expanding economy has been dulled by number of setbacks it would be easy indeed to don the sackcloth and ashes and mourn the hard times in which We live But this is not the spirit of our City This year the citizens have gone all out to make it the brightest Christmas in the history of the community Homes have been decorated and illuminated in manner that makes many street living Christmas scene Thisis not sign or adespondent pessimistic com munity but rather that of one that has great faith in the ruture Tonight group of men from various service clubs will be helping to pack hampers ior needy families an example of the true spirit of Christmas that exists in this community So far as it is humanly possible every family in the Base Doesnt Its comforting almost to think that there are at least few Americans who are impressed by Canadas armed might But the comfort is just little bit hollow when we find the basis for such impression rests solely on mighty retaliatory missile base in Western Ca nada which doesnt quite exist An article in an American magazine describes the RCAF base at Cold Lake Alberta as capable of unleashing thousi ands of missiles at the very heart of Russia Cold Lake is described as the most potent weapon the West has to answer any Soviet attack It the United States is surprised the RCA is astounded RCAF officials are not sure of the authors source but Paragraphically Speaking IClothing will cost more this winter due to higher prices TTrade note Thats the best explanation of inflation we ever came across The typical teenage boy is disappoint ed in the 1961 model cars He had hoped optional equipment would include power accelerator Those who areypredlcting mild win Of Barrie area will enjoy something special this Christmas for tomorrow those hampers will be delivered at homes where the wish Merry Christmas could have sounded hollow indeed This Christian actis not something unique to this community but it is heartening to see the spirit in which the act is carried out It makes one feel that gradually great community spirit is developing within this city Brisbane 01 us is growing to the realiz ation that we are something more than just resident in the city We are part are community that has an im measurable confidence in its ability to overcome diliiculties and progress We are members or family and as is the case in all families we do not always getalong well with each other but we are prepared to stand by our famiiy in times of need And if this is all that Christmas proves to us this year that together we can outride any storm that we can give helping hand where it is most needed then we can say truly that the magic of Christmas exists in the City or Barrie Quite Exist theyare pretty certain Cold Lake is still base which besides training CF illojet crews includes weapons range tor testing shortrange missiles and rockets which couldnt blast out of tlie province of Alberta letalone give Mr Krusohev much or scan This leads us to the purpose of such anartiicle in an Us magazne If the intent would be to decoy Soviet missiles away from populated us centres in order to kill Cold Lake wesuspect residents in Alberta will find little hu nor in the yarn We would also like to exprem for the same reason our hopes that similarstory will not be printed

chair manshlp oi Montreal business man named Fowler Persons who attendcd those hearings were out spoken in their criticism of ifs glaring lapses from judicial im partiality There have been other cases occurring more frequetu re centlyz some widely publicized in newspapers others bencvolently glossed over with the result that the general public has remained unaware of this undemocrch tendency in the

commission as by other commissions and boards earlier And must agree with one lawyer politician who can mauled that the editor who has spent so many years in telling our governments bow to act has

that seems idsally suited to putting the presidentelects ideas into practice There seems little doubt that Kennedy plans 10 be captain who sticks close to the bridge in piloting the ship of state His cabinet men for the most part will be administrators rather tban grand policy makers Kennedy may have decided to emphasize conservatism and ad ministratlve ability lnhis cabi net selections in

support for racial segrega tion which would hlnder Kenna dys plans to make Africa primearea of US concern for the next few years Stevensons being passed over could be explained either because biselection would offend ultra conservatives in the cousebis views are the lcit than Kennedys Many commentators believe the main reason is the president elects desire to hold the chief reins of government in his own hands and thus by implication to diminish the importance of his Secretary of state liis choice of two impeccable Republicans with impressive aca demic and business qualifications for the second and third ranking cabinet posts the treasury and defence appear designed to an swer electioncampaign criticism that he would weaken the coun trysdefences and embark on unsound financial policies But with Douglas Dillon pres ent undersecretary of state and former Wall Street banker ac cepting the post of secretary of Lbe treasury the business com munity may in time realize that Kennedys election doesnt repre sent sudden swing to thrlofte in politics similar argument can be put forward about the acceptance of the defenceposl tiou by Robert McNamara president of the Ford Motor
