were inclined to express themselves in superlatives Terrific one man said The best in my en tire expeidence as business men mmmented another Every day this week the stores have been teeming with steady flow of customers There has been no apparent lack of money as most gifts have been bought with cash rather than on credit People have been more sel ective Chris Botter manager of Walkers Store Dunlop St stated They are determined to buy what they want and they are turning more to quai lty goods Mr Rotter said Christmas sales at his store were terrific In fact would say this has been the best year in our en tire history ln the city he added Robinson of Robinson Hardware Dunlap Street said business has been exceptionally good He attributed this partly to the fact that employment conditions in Barrie are much better than last year Any one who wants job here can get one be remarked ibs Innislil Fortunate In Board Appointees By RGB We in Innlsfil have been very fortunate in the appoint ments made of men to repre sent us on the district high school boards Discussion is being given to the suggestion that these men should be elect ed The question seems to be would it improve the calibre of the representatives and would they be men who could give more and better service So far as men who represent Innisfii on the Barrie District Board it is doubtful if the bai lot would bring out more con scientlous fairminded men Their report to council gives concise account of their activ ities during the past year Tell ing of the additions plannedto Barrie District Central Colleg iate they mention the difficul ties experienced in attempts to get the auditorium cost down to $250000 They tell of the ap pointment of an advisory com mittee on vocational education with six members from the board three from industry and three from the ranks of em ployees and the engaging of director from the Drilila Col legiate to get the training un derway at Barrie The increase in enrolment gave the board much concern and Francis Crane chairman of the transportation commit tee and representative from Innlsfil found nearly 200 more pupils to handle Innisfils Clifford Lockhart served his year as board chair man and was given credit for the businesslike method in con ducting the meetings The work of members who served last year on the Brad ford board was also much ap preciated and when Eben Saw yer was elected to council this year he was given the task of finding substitute for him self on that board IIereported to couer that Ernest Gilmore of Lefroy would accept the appointment and Will with Keith Kell represent the township on the Bradford District area board Had these openings been re uired to be filled by an elec ton would we have bad men as eager and determined to Serve That is the question and over the years it has been proved that the appointee method has given us reliable represents tives If the salary or remuneration were such that it would be worth the time of the reel lent to give his services and the results were given the publicity that goes with membership in council then it might have sufficient glory and enticement to bring out men who would strive to be elected We hope to discuss this mat for further with some of the municipal heads in our area and get their opinions WELFARE IS BUSY We called on lnnisili welfare officer Gordon Mason and found him deep in the details of see ing that none in the township go uncured for new family had been re ported in the area and he was going to make the preliminary inspection as it was said they had come from another area and were without means support He had found new house for woman and her family who had been forced to move when the house they occupied had been condemned as unfit for human occupation Service clubs had been in and checked lists and removed dup lication of names Churches and other local organizations were standing by ready to place has kets and other Christmas treats where they would be appreciat ed Lefroy Belle Ewart Legion called and left toys which they were giving this year instead of food baskets and they alsohelp ed with information on those in that area who were in need of Nothing is being left undone to help make it Merry Christ mas for all throughout the town ship but just in case someone lmows of an individual family that has been missed it is hop ed that this information will be sent along to where it will do the most good George Young of the Strand IGA says he has had some cash left with him which is intended to be used where it is known that persons are low in dollars to make their shop ping sufficient to ensure Merry Christmas LUCKY ESCAPE VANCOUVER CPlKinslcy Brameil 75 threw himself down on the seat relaxed and hoped for the best when he saw
