Progress For Barrie This is the second day of the new year 1962 Resolutions will have been made by many people but they dont usually get around to attempting to keep them un JIilafter New Years Day This is time when those who have eaten too much arid partied too much for the previous two Weeks are trying to regain some sembl ance of health 5But the new year is here and we won der what it will bring First of all we want peace on earth Everyone proclaims this wish even the Communists but there always seem to be troublemakers on the alert for any weak spot to cause strife Leaving the troubled world situation aside for the moment what about Bar rie This is community which has been acity since January first 1959 just three years ago There has been steady pro gress made since then not as spectacular as in the decade from 1946 to 1956 but progress just the same Barrie emerged from the tiny commun ity of Kempenfelt after the war of 1812 14 with the United States as an Indian trading gost and military transit point at the sout end of the Penetang Road into thriving town which was incorporated as separate community in 1853 The railroad north came year later and Bar rie was on its way The separate village of Allandale joined with the town of Barrie as Ward in 1897 Prior to the Second World War Bar rie had population of around 8500 In the last 15 years it has grown to over 22000 Whatwill this new year bring us We have excellent transportation facilities mainline railway super high way Our street lighting is unexcelled our roads are much improved We would like to see that beautiful bay cleaned of pollution and this is on the way also the bayfront park plans Barrie has done exceptionally well in the way of attracting new industries in the past 15 years and they are of the diversified type This is now by no means oneindustry town But we could use some more factories to provide continued and more employment One reason in dustries have located here was the fav orable labor climate Providing demands do not become unreasonable in this re spect other industries will look on this city with interest for location It will be interesting to see how the new year shapes up locally in further develop ment Bingo In Britain Compared Here in Canada bowling and bingo have been popular pastimes for many years Britain though always in close touch with the Dominion has retained its own favorite sports New Canadians from Britain in this country have to some ex tent continued to play cricket though limited by the lack of readymade facili ties Otherwise they have pretty gen erally chosen Canadian games In the past few years the number of Canadians visiting Britain has steadily increased This is reflected in the fact that some games popular here have be come popular over there Iwohave become surprisingly popular And the two do not include either base ball or hockey The whole country it is reported has gone crazy over alley bowling of the 10pin variety Almost overnight bowl ing alleys have sprung up motion picture theatres have been converted to that sport to meet the competition and hund reds of thousands of people are queuing up for their turn at the lanes The other pastime is bingo It is more recent importation from this side of the Atlantic but it has hit the country side over there with an even more ter rific impact than bowling It is popular game on the liners crossing the Atlantic and now in every part of Britain dance halls theatres and public halls have been turned into bingo palaces People are packing them for every bingo session In one notable case there was riot because the doors had to be closed while 600 people out side were still clamoring for admission The prizes may not be as bigvover there but the game still attracts the crowds Under Britains 1960 gaming act the law does not allow the organiz ers to take anycutfrom the stake money in the games All that is paid for the cards must be paid out in prize money However they reap rich profits from operating the catering and refreshment facilities Down Memory Lane TRANSIENT KILLED ON TRAIN lhe Barrie Examiner of October 1936 told of the tragic death of Earl Whittle of Leamington

newspaper advertisements 11 point was made by The Sudbury Star number of years ago that the dairy farmers would make better progress by telling the world about their product in stead of complaining to the government about competition from margarine There isnt any doubt that butter can not be equalled in many things by but ter substitute Many housewives prefer butter for home baking but for the past

be of the chief and five constables This replaced the former staff of chief and only two constables It was felt that that the force had been undermanned It was also decided that the sanitary in spector come under the police depart ment Costs would rise and were estimat ed at $8280 instead of the present $5420 an increase of $2860 bill and also lower baking costs But but ter is quality product now governed by legislative eontrolswhich impose lim itations on salt and water padding There was time when so much water was added to butter that the drops squeez ed out when it was spread on slice of bread Or strong salty taste was the tipoff that an excessive amount of salt had been added to increase weight and bulk Those days are gone forever decade ago The Sudbury Star was forecasting that price supports under but ter would result in stockpiles of butter that could not be sold as consumers turn ed to cheaper substitutes Dairy farmers at that time were not inagreement with the view In the past two years they have recognized that something must be done to bring down the price to theconsumer As the stockpiied butter has been pur chasediwith public funds it cannot be destroyed The government must try to get back some of the millions of dollars that have been spentin price support The sale of butter in Canada calls for more than singlehanded campaign by the Dairy Farmers of Canada The govern ment can be oflassistance to the dairy farmers in cooperating with them in the promotion ofybutter sales and by the irn plementation of regulations that will put the butter onthe market at lower price to consumers MR KHKusncHEV IS mam 90¢th IN UANDAKY some HUNTING TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH Saccharin Is Not Considered Harmful By JOSEPH DINNER MD Dear Dr Molnar As for mer dietitian

springing to the defence of tiny Kuwait whether or not the threat was false alarmdemonstrates the seriousness with which the gov ernment views recent develop ments in the Middle East Although there are doubts in some quarters that Iraq did in fact intend to launch another attempt to gain the sheikdom there was no time to pause for prolonged meditation The threat was too close at band comments the London Daily Telegraph to ponder whether the sabre was to be only rattled or actually used BRITAIN COMMITTED Britain is the only power ac tually committed to the defence of the territory on the worlds richest oil fields which Iraq has claimed since Kuwait ended 62 years as British protector ate last June 19 There is suggestion that the suspicious troop movements to ward Kuwait may only have been in connection with the big Iraqi army day celebrations Jan Another theory ad vanced is that Premier Kassem feels the need of trouble spot to divert attention from the shortcomings of his leader ship Although Gen Kassem made no exact threats and Kuwait is sued no appeal for assistance the feeling is that Britain was justified in moving swiftly in View of recent events In London there appeared to be some reason to believe the government was nervous that the recent action of India in seizing Goa and Indonesias ibreatened attack against West New Guinea mny embolden other countries with territorial ambitions DID POLICE WORK when the British lelt Kuwait after ending the Iran attack in June the police work was taken over by small force of Ara League soldiers But troubles have developed since then within the Arab bloc Egypt has withdrawn her con tributlon to the Kuwait force and there has been general weakening of Arab determina tion to defend the shetkdom The British belief is that only Saudi Arabia now has clear interest in protection the tarrltorufrom Iraq but her forces are mimeric ally inferior The collapse of the United Arab Republic made up of Egypt Syria and Yemenhas
