Not In Grand Manner inertia Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Hayfield Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher Brian Sleight General Manager FRIDAY APRIL if im Puo Barries Parking Problem To Be Handled Reasonably The question of adequate parking fa cilities and the form they should take in the central business section of Barrle continues to engage the attention of council and the merchants The matter is one of considerable importance to all sectors of the local economy and it is important that it be approached and handled in sane and reasonable man her There are two points of view from which the question may be approached and each has degree of obvrous valid ity The basic requirement is for all those concerned to realize that the mat ter is practical and definite problem and to appreciate all its implications The merchants want downtown park lng They wish that parking to be as near to their places of business as pos sible to afford the maXimum conyenb once to potential customers This is only to be expected Restdenis of the city and area desire parking facilities in as close proximity as possible to the establishments they wish to patronize That is also obvious And naturally they would much prefer such facilities to be free On the other hand the city is in the middle so to speak The rnu nicipal officials are anxious to satisfy both points of View They must however meet certain costs incidental to the provision of park Finance Minister Donald Fleming pre sented an election budget but not in the grand tradition of the past There were concessions to business and industry and to family men with young children but there were no tax cuts one would expect as purely votegetting dodge diedinthewool Conservative might say this was the budget blessed by prime minister who is confident of win ing facilities and these represent money In addition they must make due and pro er provision for smooth and continued glow of traffic through all sections of the town and this is more essential in the downtown business area which is used extensively particularly during the sum mer season by vacationers headed for holiday resort points in the area The problem of coordinating these diver ent viewpoints all of them with defin to degree of validity is not an easy one But that is the problem and it is in the interest of all concerned that it be solved This means obviously that there must be very considerable give and take from shoppers motorists generally and the merchants The plain physical fact is that there is only certain amount of ace available on which limited num er of cars can be parked Also through vehicular traffic cannot be un duly impeded It may be that some long range solu tion to the situation can be worked out and efforts to this end are currently be ing made by those concerned In the meantime business must go and traffic must continue to flow Which means that reason and sound common sense must be applied by the commercial com munity and also by those who are usmg the streets in the business section of the town ning the summer election The less charitable Opposition critics say this is another of Mr Flemings too little and too late budget efforts Certainly there are grounds for dis appointment on the part of the average man who had he ed for substantial tax concessions and id not get them It is better however to accept the economic realities of today than to be forced to pay the piper later on Down Memory Lane 20 YEARS AGO Barrie Examiner April 1942 Grey Bimcoe Foresters 1st Battalion reor ganized

NICHOLSON OTTAWAThe speaker on the platform was describing to the overflow audience how just five years agothe Liberals hsd de clared that our old folks should be able to live on $46 month so they had given an increase of only six bucks in pensions But this rich country can afford adequate dignity and comfort to those who have worked hard all their lives said the speaker 50 my gov ernmont has added not six bucks but 319 to the pension for old folks little old lady her head cocked on one side had never taken her eyes off the speaker like the whole overflow audi once she had hardly moved muscle in her rapt attention But now warm smile showed her appreciation She had been interested in Canadas great statesmen all her long life She remembered when su Robert Borden was our prime minister sha re called Slr Wilfrid Laurier But she had never heard oratory as moving as that of John Diefcn baker when he had visited her hometown and he was coming back to Strathroy tonight CHILL NIGHT WARM CROWD So the little old lady had put on her warm pale blue overcoat against the chill spring evening she put her favorite hot trimmed with pale blue on her neat grey coiffure and as be fitted the modest pensioners life and the evening chill she put on warm cotton stockings Setting out early she was able to get acentre aisle seat right in the front of the hall Lucky did arrive in good time she thought as she noted the two hundred standees at the back and heard on usher say the expected 700 had become an overflow crowd of 2500 My goodness thought the little old lady thats more than half our population Then to the sklrl of the pipes the prime minister and his party had come in few formalities and soon the familiar voice of John Diefeabaker was saying how glad he was to be back in Middlesex County on this fifth anniversary of the meeting where he had opened his 1957 election campaign He spoke of the achievements of his government We inherited mounting un employment an unfavorable im balance of $700000000 in our foreign trade provincial and municipal governments short of money and huge wheat sur pluses unsold he said We promised that we would put these wrongs right and we have done so The little old lady joined in the loud applause As we approach the grand asslze we will tell of our record We are told that we must run on our record by the Martins and the Pearsons and the Pickersgills too The little old lady laughed everyone laughed But he emphasised with his pointing finger the doom and gloom boys are going to rim on their record too She clapped The six buck boys ride again And she shrieked with laughter INTEREST AND LAUGHTEE John Dlefenboker had already been speaking for 50 minutes Not movement stirred in the hall as all eyes were rivettcd on the orator delivering the free PM wheeling speech Two hundred stood still unaware of discom fort 2300 sat unmoving but moved There had been no 10 mlnute rustle nor 15minute cough such as punctuates the sermon of the verbose preacher The little old lady still had her head attentively cocked on one side sometimes nodding appre ciativcly sometimes stroking her chin ln contemplation We are alre dy hearing some personal critlclsms and vicious attacks mnhy directed against me personnllyJ said Mr Diefenbaker But as Sir John Macdonsld sold in 1872 the apple tree which has the biggest pile of sticks and stones around its trunk is always the one which carries the host apples The little old lady shrieked with laughter and she clapped her nineteen buck prime minis ter as he ended the 65minute speech which had seemed so much shorter QUEENS PARK BIBLE THOUGHT God hath not called In unto Incleannul but unto holiness Thcllalonllnl 47 child goes where his father coils God calls His children to holiness Disclosure Bill Gets 2nd Reading OTTAWA Wednesday gave second read ingapproval in principle to the governments financial dis closures blll after Liberal sen ators said it would impose an unnecessary burden on compan es The bill already approved by the Commons would require companies and labor unions to report financial and other sta tistics to the government Some of the information provided to the government would not be made public Senator Salter Hayden Ontario said confidential infor mation wanted by the govern ment could be obtanied by amendments to other acts The Senate also approved the International Wheat Agreement to be signed in Washington April 19 PM Given Credit For Ending Strike By DON OEEARN TORONTOPremier RobarLs pulled classic in settlement of the Royal York strike While credit for the actual mediation goes to lawyer Carl Goldenberg the deep credit goes to the premier and every body here knows it if he hadnt been just who he was and acted in just the way he didand as probably only he would actthe strike likely would still be going on It was test of the real mettle of Mr Roharls that he was able to enter the dispute quietly and get things going again after it had apparently run into an ab solute stone wall This represented strong vote of confidence by both parties KEPT TIGHT SILENCE But even more remarkable was the fact that for full month whileunder the severest of attacks in the House he didnt let out even whisper that there was anything under way It was remarkable perfum ance The premier of course will gain tremendously with the pub llc from this feat But his biggest gain probably will be within his own party His action in the strike will cause those among his suppor ters who have been lukewarm towards him at best to take some second thoughts While he has conducted him self ably in the House and other wise has been above criticism there have been many on the PC benches who have still been less than enthusiastic To some of us it has seemed that the new premier would have to win an election before he could get real hold on his party He may still have to But at least his grip is much stronger than it was just shorttime ago WARRENDER THE GOAT Labor Minister Warrender is looked on as bit of goat in In Royal York affair There are some who are deriding him as failure This is not quite fair Mr Warrender may or may not be good conciliator But this does not mean be is not good minister of labor It happens that his predeces sor Hon Charles Daley was outstanding at labor negotia tions OHILDHEN You Can Help By Supporting

displaced disc in my splne three times When left the hospital the doctor warned the to be careful no lifting no bending no dancing and to get as much rgst as pos llble have five children all boys and its not so easy to rest have one leg with no reflex in the knee or heel lrn in my early is and weigh 140 Would you explain some reasons why this should happen so often Disc trouble whether dis placed slipped crushed or whatever means that cush ion of cartilage and fibrous is sue between two of the vertebrae has been damaged The damage may be from an injury or from arthritic changes in the spine The result is that the alignment of the spine is thrown off to some degree and nerve roots at that point can be plnched or lrrltated resulting in pain and loss of reflexes as in the knee ankle or perhaps elsewhere This condition usually devel ops only after repeated injury True some violent fall or ln jury caused while jumping or straining in some unusual posi tion may be the original cause but as rule succession of lesser strains after that aggra vate the original damagc Generally speaking present practice is to treat such cases conservatively take what measures are available to pre ven the inury from being re peated and hope for at least some degree of healing Hence the advice you had is soundexcept that its prob lem for mother of five boys to get lot of rest No lilting no dancingi Thats important And so is rest Youll simply have to make your brain save your back The boys must learn to pick up after themselves and to share good many chores around the house it can be done have in mind woman who was paralde in an accident She has three chil dren in elementary school Con fined to wheel chair the give instructions on what must be done and the youngsters form remarkably well its eas for for them to understand how ever just from seeing their mother in the whch chair You will have to do little more explaining and you doubt less will have to be rather firm Otherwise the youngsters might shirk their responsibilities Often brace or firm gan ment ls used to keep the spine more rigid and this protects the damaged place Trnction some times hclpl Loss of weight may help too in scvere cases and after con servative measures nt been sufficient surgery may be necessary fusion of the spins at the dumngcd point Small pieces of bone are fused at that place acting as perma nent splint That particulnr joint wont bend altenvards of course but it takes the pressure off the nerve roots prevents further damage and brings the spine buck lnto good alignment Dear Sir My wife
