Clivecauntyc¢¢pegfi9n Means Thriving Thine cius who are damn closer to areaswhere there cpn be reasonable coopcration between county and reps arated city see no iustiilcation for the misguided plea that county councils be disbanded It would be ioolish to suggest that the basis upon which urban and rural administrations operate should not be cooperative to in modern trends It has been suggested that cities and counties have been drawing steadily apart in recent years That may be quite true in some areas but we are inclined to believe that here in Simcoe there has been an awakening to the need for co operative administration and that through such cocperation the rural and urban areascan thrive together There isgood reason why thiscoopers atlon should prevail In the Barrie area we now have the major concentration of industry for Simeoe Eventually it is to be expected that there will be much more 01 this industry Not all or the work iorce lives in Barrie Most nearby townships have some residents working in local plants The money these people earngoes in part to support their own communities through melebarits and through In turn such taxes go toward providing schools roads and other services has it occurred to many or us inst how much money the countyhas spent in roadoonI stnlctioo leading into Barrie to supple ment provincial highways There can be agreement with pro posal that some new approach is needed to city county relationships so that both may better distribute their slim slice oi the national tax dollar But reducing vthe eiiectiveneSs of county council is not the answer Rather ratepayers should be alert to the fact that their city and county administrations should have the utmost strengththrough the abilit ies of their respective members and we ieel that in Barrie and Simcoe we are so blessed Thus is the complaint of lriction in other areas one which canbest be corrected at the polls at the forthcoming civic elections If we can get the rural reeves and deputy reeves to work with the city may or and aldermen and understand each others problems we will have great deal less oi this nonsense aboutdoin away with county councils gt Significant News

manyipeople who while not hav the temeriiy to pose this question directly nevertheless eel like asking it Needless to say they are not parents of re tarded children themselves But the question deserves to be an swered and it is with thisiu mind ihat the canadlan Associa tion for Retarded Children with the cooperation of the press radio and television endeavors to explain to the general public whatfa retarded child is and whatmn be done for him as will it is hoped befewer Can adians who can trulhiully say Lhad no idea Judging irom the results of surveys that have been conduci ed in
