Earrir Examiner 16 Hayfield Street Barrie Ontario wenNasoAY Nov as rutP Need More Candidates For Election In Barrie With the hour of nominations little more than 24 hours away interest in the Barrie municipal elections appears to be at low ebb At thetlme of writing no woman has come forward as candidate for alder man and there is distinct possibility of acclamatlons for council in wards one three and four Furthermore only one man Aid Les Cooke has indicated ihe willrun for mayor Whats wrong with the people of IBarrle What for that matter is wrong with men and women who would gmake excellent candidates but refuse to come forward and offer their names Womens place is no longer in the kit chen The proof is all around us in iboth business and the professions Yet lwomen seldom seem to offer themselves ifor public office despite the fact that Iwhen they do their success at the polls Bis usually better than average Come ladies at least one or two of ynur number shouldrepresent the dis There are many in Barrie who are behind the Civil Service Association of tOntarlo in its move to ask the On tario Government to discard its job classification known as casual It is misapplied term at best and quite ridiculous one when it is realized that some governmental employees still =llsted as casual help have been at their jobs for as long as quarter of century Its pity the officials who applied casual tag in the first place didnt Ftake the trouble to look it up in dic Itionary The definition of casual as occur CAPTAINS BODY FOUND The Barrie Examiner of Sept 30 1911 funder Doings in the County had an item headed Captain Vents Body fFound It reads The body of Cap tain Vent of the wrecked tug Mar tin has been found at the mouth of the Magnetawan River below Byng Inlet 0n the body was life preservcr and =rope which it is thought had been used ito tie his wife Every fresh discovery pnints to the fact that the boat disaster did not occur suddenly but that the crew had time to fully prepare them selves for struggle with the waves WflEN INDIANS SOLD ALBERTA The Barrie Examiner of Oct lst 1936 had an unusual item under storied Spots from Sea to Sea which told where South Alberta was bought in the fail or 1877 At theBlackfoot crossing of tall side of Barrie In council you would have your contribution to make especially in the field of womens in toresLs The lack of candidates in wards one three and four could indicate satisfac tion with the men who have been re presenting these districts during the past year This could be considereda compliment to these gentlemen 0n the other hand it could be sign of apathy on the part of those who could and should run perhaps but cant be bothered to do so Alderman Cooke is good man He has built up fine reputation on the council and he would serve the people of Barrie well as its chief magistrate But the people should not permit the position to go to Mr Cooke or to any one else for that matter by default The election is the core of our demo cratic system Only through it can we be sure of getting men who truly repre sent the people and their wishes Casuall Misappiied Term rlng by chance or accidental is ob viously out Occurring at irregular in tervals is no doubtlwhat was in mind Another meaning characterized by gt nonchalance might be uncomfortably true in some instances but we doubt whether employees generally would relish it Then there is the British us age which describes casual as casual laborer or pauper All told except in cases where some one is hired for month or two and no longer casual is inept inexact and exasperating It is time it was struck off the list of headings The Guelph Mercury points out Down Memory Lane the Bow River the famous Treaty No gave the Canadian Government perpet

journeyed hun dreds of miles over the prairies no rail roads to the Blackfoot crossing where the treaty was concluded HE told them that in few years the buffalo would be gone and they were and that

LOT Peterborough Examiner Policemen for some odd reason like to set themselves apart consider re port from the annual conference of the International Association of Police Chiefs in Montreal men attacked the use of civilian ag encies to study police operations Such bodies they maintained do not know enough about police and police prob lems to make their surveys fair and balanced resolution passed by the conference said that before individuals or organizations are hired to conduct surveys or research projects it should be determined that they are properly quai ffled The fault in this approach is of course that it would be impossible to bring freshness and an open mind to any such investigation of police or any other business The only qualifications needed by those conducting survey are intelligence thoroughness and fair mindednessl Given these qualities it would be possible for team of police men to survey the newspaper business While we agreewith Gilbert that policemans lot is nota happy one we do not believe that it is beyond the understanding of other mortals There the polica POLITICAL REALIST Goian Is Sticky For Macmillan By ALAN mower LONDON CPlPrime Minis ter Macmillans administration is floundering in one of those sticky patches that confront gov ernments every so often Macmillan himself always political realist would probably disarmineg admit that things arent going exactly as planned First theres the immigration bill After lot of pressure from Conservative backbench ers headed by Sir Cyril 09 home becoming sort of AfroAsian society the government decided it bad in do something to control the numbers of immigrants coming to the country To avoid any suggestions that the bill was aimed principally at brown and black newcomers from India and Pakistan the government indicated that the restrictive provisions would ap ply aisn in whileskinned lrish men the largest single contin gent invading these shares HARD TO CONTROL Anybody could soc however thatimmigrstion from the re public would be almost impos sible to control They could es cape to Britain by way or Northern lreland which lspart of the United Kingdom So things went as The Times saidfifrom bad to worse The opposition parties accused the government of hypocrisy and many Conservatives joined the attack Lord Altriucham in The Guardian of Manchester says that the bill is the misbegotten child of popular prejudice and ministerial cowardice He calls it vile piece of legislation and asks why the royal family doesnt do something tobrcak dnwn color barriers An unscheduled vist to Southampton when boatload of West lndians was disembark ing Prince Philip discussing employment prospects with the LAST TIMES TODAY ADA SUSAN HAYWARD DEAN MARTIN who visualized Britain men the Queen speaking with gentle affeCUon to the wives and children4his would do power of good There is no doubt about the depth of feeling the legislation has aroused The government seems to have felt that same thing had to be done to regulate the increasing rates of immigrm tion and that the bill would have lot of popular support in con stituencies where the concentra tion of colored population has caused friction BUTLER BLAMED Parliamentary observers are openly talking of blunder They say the blame belongs on the shoulders of Butler the home secretary who has been having rough time re cently it seems safe bet that the bill will have to be amendEd even though it has already re ceived second reading From time to time the govern ment is also being criticized for failing to give strong lead to public opinion on economic is sues It is frequently said that the Britishpeople are conscious that there is financial crisis of sorts but that they dont know what the government wants them to do because there are so many contradictory stote mants Hobitues of the House of Com mons are inclined to say that much of the fault lies with Selv wyn Lloyd the chancellor of the exchequer In sophisticated com ment Lloyd is regarded as worthy well intentioned man whose public face the critics say somehow does not inspire confidence As foreign secretary Lloyds dismissal was regarded as im minent nearly every week for about two years but he stayed stubbornly in office Now an other rcund of Selwyntore sign reports may be in pros pect this time with better chance of fulfilment nouns ENTERTAINMENT FEATURE or 700 and 920 MATINEE EVERY WEDNESDAY AT pm Fox lIids QUEENS PARK North Concerned About The Hydro Dy DON OEEARN TORONTO The people of noth western Ontario have been concerned about their Hydro system same month sac it was an nounced that Ontario Hydro was thinking of taking over the rye ternwhich now is owned di rectly by the provinceand in corporating it with the southern lysiernl Leaders in the northwest felt they needed great deal of in formation before they could make up their minds in this They complained they werent getting it in September the annual cnn vention of the Northwestern On tario Chambers of Commerce olten called the parliament of the Northwest lried lo bring down resolution which would criticize the haste in which Hydro was acting The chambers at that lime had rule that all resolutions must havu unanimous rats to be approved This resolution was defeated by two votes Two liydrc cmA ployees voted against it The chambcrs procedure is nnw being changed WHY HURRY in the throne speech here it was announced that it was the governments inlcnlion lo put through the amalgamation Then before the speech was even delivered memo camo to the press gallery from Hon Robert Macaulay vice chair man of Hydra explaining why the amalgamation should go through Why the hurry nilicanl if ever anything looked like pressure play this does Mr Msuulsys statement was full of window dressing rucb as the opinion that joining the system might actually mean slight increase to customer in Southern Ontario and savings to those in the north Then there are statements such as this One mans sessments as to what price power should be said back by the south to the northeastern region is arguesble but if the wnnle syslcm owns all the gen erating stations then there is only one set of books and every one is fairly treated Fairly treated How this sweeping conclusion is arrived at would be beyond the most prolound philosopher If you are going to discrimi nalo against one area and Northwestern Ontario has claimed for long time it is being discriminated against sentralizcd power means it can be discriminated against mom easily and even more unfairly And this whole move repre scnls step by Hydro to get more out of control of the IA islslurothe only real control exercised over it which means ils only real source of appeal for fair play is lostl The observer takes this pm jccied action as the most sig point in this years throne speech During the running contro versy over youth vs maturity in the PC leadership race one strong opinion voiced was that youth might be inclined to try to jump too far and too soon This would indicate the opin ion had merit Arctic Study REPORT mom ILK Does Not Know What Left Hand Is Doing By JACK VAN DUSEN UITAWA

WilliR By hIcINTYRE HOOD Special motion England Correspondent for The Barrie Examiner MERIDEN Warwickshirelt is obvious that on many occas ions the right hand of gover nment does not know what its left hand is doing In other words the various ministerial departments are often placed in the position ofissuing orders and instructions which are quite at variance with those of any ther department Such case has arisen in the village of Meridcn in Warwick shire The rural council of the district has just received orders from the ministry of housing and local government that it must not demolish ifitihcenv tury inn in the village because it has been designated as building of historic interest COUNCIL MYSTIFIEDV This order has quite mystified the members of the district to uncll at Merlden Reason for their mystificatiun is that this old building the Cork inn on the road between Birmingham and Coventryh was demolished and removed nearly three years ago on the ordersof the min istry of transport For centuries the black and white inn was patronized by coachmen and their passengers They halted there for refresh ment when journeying to and from London long ago Highway men would ride into the inn yard to rest their horses and spy out the land for possible victims But times changed and pro gress caught up with the Cock Inn when the road became one of the busiest in Britain it was decided to convert the road in to dual carriageway To build musmu STARTS TOMORROW Feature Times 125 uasuo ens widened road the transport ministry said the ancient in would have to come down Wreckers moved in and demol ished and the new road was built Now from the ministry of housing and local government there has been issued new list of buildings that cannot be demolished altered or extended unless it has been notified in advance and has the opportun ity to preserve those of historic interest And the Cock Inn at Meriden is on the list COUNCIL INNOCENT Raymund Hale clerk of the Meriden Council on receiving this notice said that the coun cils planning committee would be meeting to discuss the whole matter cannot understand how this has come about he said We had no part in the demolition of the inn The local authority merely acts as an agent for the appropriate ministry in mat ter like this About eight ysrs ago we heard that men from the min istry of housing and local gov ernment were looking over buildings in our area But they never made any contact with the council officially We never had any idea of what decision they might have made at that time BIBLE THOUGHT Tiie
