TEE BARRIE EXAMINER SATURDAY TEEN INNISFII NOTES Cops Cleanup May Be Choked ans then the small community of udawiut look on the job of heeking speeders on their way through the State of Georgia on Highway 341 which is that used by most tourists travelling to and from the south they really made oleunup So much so that the Automobile Association broadcast alternate routes so that traffic could de tour and miss that centre The State of Georgia has had many such accusations but never did one get so much pub licity as this one To stop this state governor Ernest Vandiver asked his house for special bill to provide Uiat no force other than the state police could set up speed traps This put stop to the foe grabbing of local police of the towns and especially Long County on 301 This is very similar to the situation through lnnisiil last summer when the township pol ice were told that the Police Act provided that the Ontario provincial police were totally responsible for highways polle lng Stroud Cooksiown and Thornton thereby missed such publicity as has been heaped on the citizens of the Georgia town of Ludowlcl However the police of innislil were not profiting by their work which seems to have been the claim against the police and deputies of the Georgia town One of the oldest newspapers lnGeorgia said the complaint could not be ignored and the actions of the police had not the sanction of the people of that state It will destroy our chances for tourist business the paper claimed We know lot of people who were subject to fines following charges alter the Innlsfll speed trap had caught them who would not come back and spend any mon ey in the township Another similar instance is now in the news here where accusations are being made that elderly people travelling on the same highway in Florida are being followed by county sher rifs deputies and subjected to charges on which they leave substantial deposits The as sumption seems to be that the elderly people usually have the cash and desire to keep their records out of court The char ges are for driving too fast in school zone or some other of fence The Motor League is having investigators cover the complaints DELAYS TAX COLLECTION The plan of tax collections which clerk Richard Groh had planned to put into operation this month of lebmary has bed to be postponed due to pres sure oi office work The system considered was that notices were to be sent to the delta quents showing the total amount of unpaid taxes due The notice would state that as per section of the Act RSO 1950 goods and chattels of thedelinquent taxpayer were liable to seizure and sale The requirement that it be sent during the month of February limited the time to get it out so that ithas been put over for the present Clerk Groh is finding that duties are piling up so that time in the day and part of the night do not allow him to get them all into orbit it will be remem bered that he came to lnhisfll as an assistant to the late clerk Allan ireton but has since been carrying out double du ties SPRING FLOODS FEARED beneficiary in the new Car son ditch went to Council at their last meeting to complain that the new ditch would be use less when the spring floods came He claimed that the orig inal petition made to get the work done did not contain suf ficient portion of the ratepayers concerned The engineer in charge asked that the work be given trial before it was com damned The party making the complaint left the council meetlt ing in disgust ASK FIRE AREA The village of Thornton has asked Hint their equipment and fire fighters be considered the fire area for that part of the township instead of the Innis fil fire department answering the calls They would attend to fires in their area similar to the setup in Cookstawn area The matter was left for report by the fire committee BETTING ON JOE Knowing that our reeve has been challenged by the mayor of Barrie in the wood sawing contest we have tabled bet on our Joe All we hope is that he also wins the draw which would entitle him to the free trip down here at the end of the month We would pay him avisit and have chance to enjoy some of that luxury we photographed over last week end If Joe can saw wood as wcu as he can raise hogs he will sure win the contest un less there are some much bet ter than the Barrie mayor to compete with BURDEN BEAT Allocating Quarters Tough Iob lit Borden By JIM STOTI One of the biggest jobs at lamp Borden allocating livinr quarters to married personnel is handled by Wally Owen civilian and exarmy captain Wally is the administrative officer for Townsite the organ lzation which decides who gets one of the 1029 army houses permanent married quarters at Borden My job is something like running big hotel Wally says except that dont have to worry about collecting the rent Its automatically deduct ed from pay cheques With waiting list of 150 fam ilies there is no problem of finding tenants for vacant hous es The demand is always great er than Rte supply Mr Owen says People watch the wait ing list like hawk and it someone further down the list gets house ahead of them get call Theres always good reason however Who gets house is decided strictly on the basis of the num ber of children man has and his length of service private with long service and large family has better chance than major with only one child The houses are unfurnished except for stove and fridge They come in two three and fourbedroom sizes The largest fondly in Camp Borden belongs to Private Beaslby who has nine children Fitting this larnily into four room house is tight squeeze in fact the average number of children in the Camp Borden army family 29 per house hold is greater than the num her in civilian homes Mr Owen thinks this is be cause most array men must re tire at comparatively early age and young children and young family head are the gen eral rule BORDEN BEAUTIES Two cute teenagers from camp
