titanic Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Hayfield Street Barrie Ontario SATURDAY DECEMBER 1961 Puc Winter Approach Recalls Wonderful Summer Weather The past summer of 1961 slipped along 59 nicely in this area of 0niario that we possibly did not appreClate how very pleasant it was and still is Last spring the bay ice was all scat tered by April 29 and had been of over age thickness It had frozen gradually be tween December 22 and 27 and had thickened in January and February when lowest recorded was 17 below zero =May was moderate with average only in the high sixties and an 86 on Sunday the 14th June too was not extreme Walking For The trouble with most Americans laments writer in Todays Health is that walking is becoming forgotten sport and lost art Taking the word American in its con tinental context this would apply also to Canadians whose reliance on motor vehicles as means of getting from one place to another even short distances is now quite general If that were all there was to it it is not likely that health authorities would be showing more concern about it The fact of the matter is that the lack of walking one of the simplest forms of exercise tends to make person soft and flabby physically and mentally and eventually has an adverse influence on his health Recently there has been quite flurry of publicity over the physical fitness or the lack of it of our young people and over the governments pronouncement that it plans to initiate fitness pro gram costing up to five million dollars annually Its highly likely that walking will be with 85 twice and mostly in high sevent ies August had few dogdays with 80 to 84 September started with 85 and with nine more days from 80 to 85 October was wonderful month over half sun ny and pleasant and then cool nights to as low as 25 November brought low once of 16 on Sunday the 19th All tem peratures were recorded at lilinets Point Just east of Barrie city limits on the south shore of the bay by Hill of The Examiner editorial staff Better Health prescribed as one of the main forms of exercise to help develop fitness partic ularly since it is distinctly doityour self project This is nothing new it is almost as old as time Todays Health puts it this way Hippocrates patron saint of med icine mentions walking 40 times in one chapter on digestive diseases and he prescribed brisk walks short walks early morning walks afterdinner walks and night walks Brisk walks were re commended to reduce weight early morning walks for emotional disturb onces Psychologists say that fresh air and an exercise such as walking stim ulatethe brain by feeding it more oxy gen Digestion and bowel function are improved and those who walk regularly often find they dont need laxatives One should not look on walking in terms of pill required to develop and maintain good health Walking should be regarded as means of capturing much of the zest in life of bringing one untold pleasures in an unhurried way that is so often missed in the rush of modern living Down Memory Lane POLICE CHANGES OF 1936 The Barrie Examiner of Oct 1938 fold of proposed police changes and that council had decided to double the force with one of the new constables to double as sanitary inspector There is need for larger force to copewith present conditions This means increased sal aides with proposed pay at $1800 for chief and $1200 for constables Put ting tho work of sanitary inspector tinder supervision of the police would be wise step The Examiner did not agree that the chief be in his office all day but that he would be of more value on the street keeping in touch with local activities HUMOR 25 YEARS AGO 25 years ago in Barrie they also ap preciated humorous story Heres one from The Examiner of November 1938 Darling said Mrs Newlywed this is my first pie Mr Newlywed Oh what treasure Lets keep it instead of eat ing it Another was Teacher Smith how many bones have you in your body Pupil dont know sir

mention eVery other resident and vis itor of every part of the province are inconvenienced to the point of being lawbreakers We agree with the Womens Christian Temperance Union and every other antiliquor organization that except perhaps to ease the common cold al cohol may be the germwhioh activates much of the provinces crime However lets face it no amount of legislation is going to wipe out or even reduce alcoholic consumption And that after all is probably the basic target of most or all antiliquor groups Even policestate setups like in the pro hibition era in the United States could notblte very deeply into mans thirsty desire to escape from the nations prob lems Illegal outlets and bootleggers could always get their booze rations and then some from the stills in the hills

under the guidance of Pre mier Roberts Ontarios liquor laws may yet make sense GREEKS HAVE LAST WORD New York Herald Tribune The decline of the study of classical languages is predominating and le mentabie feature of contemporary ed ucation But when Latin is abolished in the schools of Athens and when the time devoted to ancient Greek itself is sharply reduced classicels have right to be flabbergasted The Greek ministry of education ro contiy introduced these revisions in Sec ondary school curriculums for the first half of the six year course This step aroused the wrath ofs number of Greek learned societies and there have been dark predictions of damage to the na tional reputation although others have applauded the change as beneficial to the cultivation of modern Greek The bleak fact remains however that the classics are being downgraded in the country which gave them birth Their prestige must therefore diminish even further in other younger oountries whose civilization owes them so much and whose people continue ironically to depend on their language to express themselves And Just in case this is taken to refer to obscure scientific neoloeisms or to sprightly coillogos like telethon and eineruma here are few wordsde rived purely rrom classical Greekvvhich are rather oppressivercommontoday Atomballistic nike hydrogen halor caust apocalypse Whether orvnot they get the

Canada By PATRch NICHOLSON MTAWAThero is sharp reminder for all Canadians in the message given to Hon David Walkerqmlnister of public works who represented Canada at the recent meeting of lheColombo Plan nations Other countries would like to see Canada contribute more The occasion was the 10th an nual review of the Colombo Plan for cooperatlvs economic development in Southeast Asia which was set up as sort of Marshall plan to aid the newly independent and struggl ing nations of that area Canadas standard of living was recently surpassed by Swe den making our life the third most luxurious in the world by material standards That still leaves Canada as the plushioat dominion in the Commonwealth but excluding the wise old mother country So at the Co lombo Plan meetings Canada is the rich uncle in the eyes of all our haveoot Asian fellows in the Commonwealth Over the past ten years that rich uncle has contributed one half of one cent per week to each family existing in indie Pakistan and Ceylon GOOD NEIGHBOUR The good citizen and the good nation must recognize his obli gations to the broad community of man That was how Prime Minis te John Diefenbcker summed up the philosophy un derlying our contribution to the Colombo Plan His government has very nearly doubled our previous an nual pittance to the essential hu manitarian cause But that is not to say that the former Lib eral governmentdid not whale heartedlyalthough not whale pockotedlysupport the Colom bo Plan at whose creation Lib eral Leader ike Pearson was enthusiastic planner But In 10 years the aid of our selves and of other have na tions coupled with their own struggling self help has only raisedthe average income of those 720000000 Asians from $60 each per year to 70 As Plushiest Domain How could you feed house clothe care for and entertain yourself on nineteen cents per day You might in desperation harken to the siren song of the Kremlin promising you the full ness of the earth and all that thereon is Lacking the educaA tion to know better you might believe And lacking the food even to halffill your stomach you might in gnawing despera tion be willing to try the Krem lin formula PLENTY IN GARBAGE To us the slow starvation and permanent hopelessness ofilfe in an underdeveloped country is impossible to visualise But Dr HrockChisholm has described it graphically any 18000000 Asizlns could improve their stan dard of iivi if they were per mitted to migrate to Canadas garbage and there scrape an existence from the castoff food and material goods of 10000000 Canadians The most constructive step we could take to help our Conunon wealth brothars in Southeast Asia is to teach them to help themselves in other words to train them to produce more food which they could eat and goods which they could

Thus there wasan enthusias tic Asian welcome for the rug gestion of Hon David Walker who pointed out that money would go further hi sending Ca nadian instructors to Asia than in bringing Asian students to Canada He proposed very real istically that Canada should establish equip and staff Cans dlan training colleges in Asia There are deep sociological arguments that Asians con best learn

icant in the background it must have been bit discon certing to the person so muz zled although no one seems to have been denied sufficient time to tell about himself and his hopes if elected to office The candidates for mayor Alderman Les Cooke and Jim Hart were impressive and both exhibited sound knowledge of Barrie civic affairs Mayor Klnzle who told the audience he had virtually decided

the increase in commercial and in dustrial assessment has been mac timportant factor in our development These annual increases which naturally produce more tax revenue have paid for many public work

demeanor of some of the candidates they were obviour ly nervous but they gave the old college try with vigor Otb err were perhaps little over confident but then it takes all kinds of people to make wo

TbsDowner case we suspect date Premier Roberts has been gradually slipping into his new office He has not been making head lines He has been running the house quietly and smoothly He has been keeping the oppo sition at distance without too much trouble so far And you feel that early predicA tions he would have cool head will prove right SMOOTH BAILEE There has not been too much test of the new premier yet of course it will take many more months probably before his deeper side wlli really begin to show But until now he has kept re markably good control He is the boss But his leader ship is quiet though firm thing 0n the second day of the house AttorneyGeneral Roberts was in in hit of wrangle with the opposition Mr Roberts Just so Mr Frost would have done rare in his place to bail out the attorney general But he did this without any re fleciions against Mr Roberts He said he would be glad to consider the opposition proposal that there should be debate on the Morton gambling report
