REPORT mom tiff Famed London Church Has Been Rebuilt theme Examiner 16 Hayfield Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher Brian Slaight General Manager TUESDAY DECEMBER mt Pnse Cooke Receives Clear Mcmdc1te From ElectOrs The election of Alderman Les Cooke as Mayor of Barrie for 196263 was the feature of quiet but interesting muni cipal election Mr Cooke who has worked with dis tliiction as member of the City Council received solid majority in straight election fight with Jim Hart Mr Hart former mayor who gave good service to the people in his day at the city hall re ceived respectable total of 1990 votes He was far outstripped however by Mr Cooke who took an early lead and was never headed The mayorelect got more than 3000 votesand clear mandate from the people to proceed with his pro vgram for the coming two years Barrie has been fortunate in its selec tion of mayors in recent years Mayor Kinzie proved to be an excellent admin istrator and fine representative for the city Mr Cooke will maintain this fine record we feel sure The fact that there were no outstand ing issues apart from the Sunday movies and sports bylaws contributed no doubt to the lack of response on the part of the people Only 452 per cent of the eligible voters bothered to go to the polls in other words more than half the peo ple did not exercise theirfranchise This is not good by any standards and is an indication of apathy that should have no place in an election that comes only once every two years The decision of the majority to support Sunday movies is not surprising It is in accordance with trends across the prov ince and it means that Barrie will oin the mounting number of communities which have instituted more open Sab bath The only big upset was the defeat of Alderman Mike Wieder in Ward four Added Safeguard The Ontario Legislature at this session is expected to make it little tougher for all motorists who do not carry insur ance on their vehicles Although it is esti mated that only 10 per cent of the driv ers in Ontario do not carry insurance they are responsible for the claims made against the Unsatisfied Judgment Fund the result of accidents special committee hasbeen delving into the subject for some time and now has its report almost complete Should it be adopted and it is expected that the members of the legislature will give it their wholehearted support the drivers who dont hold an insurance card are going to pay more in various ways At the present time an additional $5 fee is attached to the vehicle owner when he gets his regular licence plates each year This will most likely be boost ed to $20 to help enrich the unsatisfied judgment fund Should an uninsured dri ver have an accident and be assessed da mages through court he will not be al lowedto drive again until he has re compensed the fund for the entire amount that it paid out on his behalf The name of the fund will also most like ly be changed to the Motor Vehicles Ac cident Claims Fund The amounts pay able to accident victims will also be in creased The special committee also plans to bring the insurance companies into the new regulations through the control of insurance premium rates and regulating the risks they take The Ontario Legis lature is to be asked to approve mea sure that all insurance firms licensed in Ontario be required to join the new plan and that they not be allowed to refuse anyone who holds drivers licence If these new regulations become law we do not feel that the uninsured driver will be long behind the wheel of car because the proposed changes certainly fall little short of car insurance being compulsory for all Ontario motorists DoVVn Memory Lane 45 YEARS AGO Members of Barrie District of the Me hodist Church now number 5120 an increase of

seeing the press at least once week if elected What has happened There has been of course far more intensive pressure of urgent and critical affairs than he probably expected Yet lowered priority of press conferences on this account would seem to ignore their particular usefulness under just such con ditions to give the public his explan ation of these affairs One main difficulty is that the press conference crowds nowadays are simply too big The policy of televising confer ences has so aggravated this problem that they are mass meetings The press corps has its share of mike grabbers and camera hogs Too many questions from this sector are long winded and muddled or of such trivial or provincial nature that no president conceivably could know the answers Much precious time is wast ed especially his More basically both the televising and the allowance of direct quotation with out which of course televising would be impossible enormously increase the risk of blunder which might be disast rous in world so explosive as now There can be no saying Strike that or putting it off the record or correcting the record later So President Kennedy may well have concluded that the presidential press con ference under todays terms and condit ions is mixed blessing Yet there is no adequate substitute for the general idea No other device enables the public in the person of the press to have the in itiative in probing the presidents think ing face to face The decline can scarcely be matter of difference on Kennedys own part for he has shown himself uncommonly ar ticulate and skillful in the mass inter view One would expect president with such abilities to be especially eager to use the conference as an opportunity to further his own leadership HE PAYS BILLS Brandon sun

Dykes Emmi was given the task of rebuilding the church he found himself in exactly the same position as Wren did af ter the Great Fire of London Only the 13th century walls and the 17 century tower were left standing ON VRENS DESIGN On these remains the new church now very much as it had been built to Wrens de sign has been reconstructed it was black and white Ecumet ricnl floor with walls and

correspnnflent describes the quiet calm operation of the first BomarcB squadron on the 05 east coast By HAROLD MORRISON NEWPORT NEWS Va CPI Nestling amid the autumnal splendor of pines poplars and dogwood the spanking new Bo marcB anti aircraft missile squadron in this Atlantic coast area appears as silent and mo tionless as cemetery Row upon row of concrete andsteel missile sheds are as inviting to the visitor as nu marked mausoleums and in fact says the commanding of ficer the she is or shelters have been dubbed coffins by tho airmen on duty here The Newport News Eomarc centre about 150 miles south of Washington hnuses 28 mis sile Bomarc squadron as well as the Elimissile more ad vanced BomarcB group They sit side by side on 55ncrn fenced site with the operational area where the weapons are housed almost bare of humans FEW GUARDS SEEN Only fewglonely guaids armed with pistols and rifles can be seen patrolling the fence line as visitor accompanied by LtCol Robert Andrews 42 yearold commander is sciu tinized and allowed though the security gate into an area hold ing enough nuclear materials to blow up city the size of New York Both the BomarcA with 200 mile range and the solidbooster Bolt mareB with 400 mile range are reported to have nuclear warhead But both are cap able of firing conventional high explosive warhead as well Andrews highly conscious of the need for secrecy hinted to reporter that while all the BomarcB missiles may have the more powerful nuclear ar mamenf some of the human types may have the conven tional bomb Im confident weve got both types for the weapon said the husky 42yearold veteran of the Second World War per sonally havent seen the con ventional warhead but lve rend about it and am confident it exists We always try to use the best weapon for the target and if you go after just single bomber the conventional high explosive ndght do the job MISS THE BUSTLE One of the modernday con cepts of air defence is that the enemy might direct just one bomber with massive nuclear liquid propelled load and perhaps one hackup bomber in the rear for each in dividual target area While mass of bombers might sweep out of enemy territory they soon would separate each mov ing to its individual target As onetime bomber instruc tor Andrews faces some of the human problems Canadian com manders may encounter when the two Bomarc Canadian sites at North Bay Ontu and Mont Lauder Que come into operation It takes little getting used to said Andrews as his brown eyes surveyed the silent mis sile shelters Airmen miss the hustle and bustle of bomber or fighter squadron They miss the noise of engines the smell of gasoline and the constant pressure to get planes over hauled and repaired Bomarc squadron is not like that at all Thereare pe riodic inspections to be done on the missilest minor inspec tion every 90 days and full inspection every 21 months if you rotate the work you keep the men busy And the area has to be guarded constantly night and day REMOTE CONTROL But there is barely any noise and the average airman on duty doesnt have much chance to become involved in the actual operation of the Bomares The firing button is 100 miles away at the Fort Lee SAGE semi automatic ground environmentl centre Even havent mtich to do with the actual firing The SAGE chief would have to con sult m6 probably by telephone before he decides to fire the weapon but he presses the fire buttonnot can stop the missiles from being fired by something can do here but cant fire them not from here The aimien probably find themselves linked little closer with the EomareA than the Eu marcB The Bomaic has liquid booster that requires lot of inspection and attention It takes about lhmlnutes to warm up BomnrcA for firing The airmen can possibly sci it little longer before it takes off But the EomarcB with its solid booster can be warmed up in so seconds Probahiy before you can turn your head the BomarcB is out of sight The pilot of fighter or bomber can come back and re late his experiences to his ground crew Most of the men here probably would never know how well their Bomnrcs did in the nlr Airmen love to fly And rews added nostalgienlly But like this This is something new greater field and chal lenge It is reflection of the old faces and the old issues The Liberals are breaking some new ground They are talking of finance companies public water supplies and other things that are new to this house and to the public But the government and the NDP are largely singing the same song Education municipal grants and etc etc from the one Talk of labor and fierce do nunciatinns of many things from the othEr The public is tired of these things And it is really some years since it has had issues which were genuinely close to it These will come again in this new era the government of the day will have to get around to those new problems which are the problems of the people in the era But that requires new start
