attic Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 16 Bayfleld Street Barrie Ontario Walls Publisher Brian Sleight General Manager THE OLD ELEPHANT GUN STILL PACKS ll WALLOP Settles Motel Dispute Democratic Way The Ontario Municipal Board has set tled the Barrie motel dispute in thor oughly democratic way In announcing its decision to grant permission to Barrie businessman Lorna Jackson to build the Continental Inn Motel the board stated pointedly that it was not within its jurlsdictlon to interfere with free enterprise The board had taken cognizance of the fact that the Barrie Planning Board and the City Council had given their approval of an application on Mr ack sons behalf to rezone land in the vicin ity of Highway 400 and Dunlop Street Mr Jackson and his associates wanted the category changed from industrial to highway commercial to pave the way for his big building project The board was also aware of objec tions of Barrie motel proprietors who said the highway motel would have an adverse affect on their business The concern of these men was understand able They believed they saw the value of their properties in jeopardy through loss of business to an attractive high way motel with the latest luxury fea tures No doubt the board felt sympathetic towards these hotel and motel owners who had staked their future in Barrie But sympathy alone could not stand in the way of decision To have denied Mr Jackson the right to spend upwards of half million dollars would have been serious interference with the free enterprise system The board declined to fall into such trap This newspaper repeats its previous conclusion The new highway motel should be boon to business both of other motelkeepers and our retail mer chants Every tourist who stops is potential customer Those who remain overnight will not all stop at the new motel Many will drive farther into the town and stay at other motels and hotels which take their fancy The secret is to get tourists to stop The highway motel could prove to be an excellent advertisement Thousands of people who might have driven on will find Barrie delightful spot and the surrounding area tourists par adise other Editors Views CHEAPER BUTTER AND USE London Free Press The Canadian butter user will benefit by the federal government cutting the price on its surplus butter Prices gen erally should drop from 70 cents to 56 to 59 cents per pound with the aim of making the dairy product more competi tive with margarine Certainly Ottawa had to do something to halt surplus which at the turn of the year was almost two hundred million pounds The National Dairy Council and the Federation of Agriculture had asked this action to give the butter producer more saleable product in appeals made for the past two years The governmentwhich has switched from support buying in other farm pro ducts to deficiency plan acceded to the producers view and is still in the market for butter at 52 cents per pound So that the farmer does not suffer he will be The Barrie Examiner Authorized second class mail ran Offch pepreagent Ottlwa Ind or payment at poxtllo in cash 1min sunsyr and Statutory nailsyr excepted narmarn wAzLe

should suit the producer However the government wants to stop butter being used as well paid outlet for surplus fluid milk and has taken drastic steps The fluid milk producer who uses his extra milk for either butter making or cheese production will not get the 12 cent subsidy This deterrent may put the milk industry into better balance of use at least that appears to be the de partment of agriculture hope Meanwhile other milk subsidies remain vThere must be some worry also that butter at 56 cents per pound will not be in much greater demand than it was at 70 cents Users of butter and margarine seem to be well divided It would be boon for both Ottawa and the dairy in dustry if the trade lost to the substitutes could be regained Anyway Ottawa is willing to risk what may cost $50000000 to encourage this exchange CHEAPER T0 WASTE Milwaukee Journal The good staid Yankee concept of waste not want not seems destined to become victim of modern technology The trend nowadays seems to be in the other direction Frugality would appear to be at one with the disposable and dispensable The product that you use once and then throw away is coming into its own as an integral part of the American economy as the consumer learns that the disposable tissue the disposable diaper the disposable baby nurses the disposable milk carton are all in the final analysis more conven ient and less expensive than were their OTTAWA REPORT Take Away Ba ubles Diplomat Is Told By PATRICK NICHOLSON Canada does not bestow boa nor and decorations on cili gens who have given dim guishcd or gallant service to the stale and their fellows Canada does not do this because Ca nada alone among the signifi cant nations of the world has not yet created this particular mark of national sovereignty And as we have mining to reward foreigners who perform services for Canada we have imposed the selfdenying ban widely disregardedlhe Cana dians may not accept any doe oration from foreign country which lbey benefit peak of Canadian stupidity and rudeness in this matter was recently attained when the head of another state paid an official visit to Canada Included in his baggage was small case con taining several of his countrys decorations wlch he wished to award to our Governor General and to other Canadians as mark of respect to Canada and lo their office and also to re ward certain of them for sore vices which they had performed for his country He was very offended was told when some lesser bureaucrat in our diplo mafic service told him most undiplomotically not to unpack that little case and to take all his baubles awny out of Canada with him DISTINCTION NEEDED Canadians generally agree first we dont want inherited li lies here they are an onu 0lt nism in this age But many Ca nadians would no doubt be de lighted lo ccepl some official recognition of their own out standing services to this coun try whether it be lifetime fi lie or distinction or medal in spirit of considerable hy pocrisy the former Prime Min ister hincknzic iii lively squashed the system of British honors and decorations being awarded to Canadians offer be had accepted one him self And he subsequently oc tepied another He had point in suggesting lhnt for Canadians to accept British honors was perpetuation of our colonial sta tus But he created mess and an anomaly by failing to insti lute Canadian honors and awards to take their place Despite this ban many Cana dians today proudly accept and wear honors awarded by other countries substantial number of Roman Catholics have ac cepted decorations and honor ary liliesfrom the head offlie Vatican State Many FrenchCa nadiaus and some others have accepted and wear the Legion of Honor awarded by the Pres ident of France number are proud to accept honors in the Maltese order of St John Every Privy Councillor ac cepts and uses the lifetime title of honorable Many Canadi ans have accepted the honorary title of Chief from lndian tribes Others proudly use the lle of Doctor based not upon lheir scholastic achievement but on an honorary degree ILSA DEMOCRATIC Nobody would accuse the 115 of being undemocratic Yet that country has many decorations and medals which it awards perhaps overlavisbly to its dis tinguished citizens Former president Eisenhower has so pied and wears British dee oration carrying the title of Sirwhlcb title he does not use The actor Douglas Fair banks Jr will awarded the same decoration for his war Ienlces he wears lbs order but does not use the title Yet Oa nadlan soldiers who cannot be rewarded for their gallantry or line service by Canada may ae cept British m2dalsbul not the one which was awarded to The and Douglas Fairbanks our own gallant Governor General General Georges Van lcr veritable iniit salad of awards for his courage bul not one of them is Cans dlan if is certainly national Vancouver Is Likely Target For Quake VANCOUVER CF Seis moloast Milne say Van couver could be hit by an earths quake

coast of North anvili South America and Asia be sal It gives Brliiab Columbia the highest frequency of earth quakes in Canada said Mr blilnr ulamolcglal at the Dominion Astrophysical Observ nlory at Victoria He estimates that 20 earth tremors are recorded within 100 miles of Vancouver each month Last year there were 150 freon era in the VancouverVlclorla arch though only six were strong enough to

best in long time it was hard working with long hours and big budget of business But more important than this was that it bad new choracler it was quite markedly differ ent than other sessions of re cent years it was you might say stamped with go Clearing Way As the first year of lhe Ro bans administration it was the start of new era And the new outlook was thereyou bolh felt it and saw If it wasnt represented too much in accomplishment The goverruncnt hadnt been in of fice long enough to have solid program But much of the business of the session was spent in taking first steps or clearingthe way for new developments in this sense there was action and good bundle of it DEVELOPMENT LED Right at the start of the fall session there was the new eco nomic development program Except for the liquor changes it probably was tbe most devel oped step taken at the session Even if of course was only first approach but the prck gram itself was rounded TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH Girl Becomes Willi Little Wa By JOSEPH MOLNER MD Dear Dr Molnar had been dating fellow quite steadily and suddenly found when was with him bad to vomit will hardly any warning Sometimes it was due to an argument andsometimes for no apparent reason have heard of people having nervous stomach but if that were the cause wouldnt it occur any time had an upset with anyone Why just with this particular fellow Does it occur to many young peoplePE Psychological reactions of this sort are not so very uncommon of course dont mean that most young people have them but physicians encounter them with regularity and in varying degrees These episodes of throwing up or other manifestations of nerves rebelling can result from anger as quarrel other times they sometimes result simply from excitement have in mind little girl now grown up who got more excited about Halloween than any other boll day For Week or two in advance she was busy getting costume ready and looking forward to the festivities Invariably over period of six or eight years she suddenly got thoroughly sick at her stomach along about dusk and missed the whole thing But she went right ahead the next year getting overexcited in anticipa tion and getting sick again She didnt regret to say aufgrow this fruit until she was too old for Halloween to have its old black magic for her Shes sflll alughstrung young woman but she realizes it and has pretty fair success in and other consequences of psychological upsets In your case if it happened wifh olher dales id say some Ill rning attention to your own personal ity would be in order But since the trouble occurs only with this young man would look for some specific clash or conflict It may be excitement intensi fied by overromantic interests Or it could be the result of some deepseated matter some trait which consciously or un consciously you find repulsive or objectionable in him He may be dominating Wile Which you halfway like yet strongly resent or it could be mannerism or his speech or something that fundamentally reminds you of something or someone you dis like For another possibility there may be sense of guilt gnawing at you Where the violent upsets are associated only witbtbis one youngiman should be caudoua aboutletiing the romance go further unless you can get to the root of ihe trouble psychiatrist doubtless would be helpful but your family physician might likewise be of aid Almost every physician absorbs slate of practical psychiatric knowhow and be sides that he can gain per spective more easily than you yourself can if you will tell him frankly about the problem Dear Dr Molner Are formal dehyde or other harmful sub stances absorbed into food from plastic dishesYMru No Formidable sounding chemicals are used in many products but are converted into perfectly harmless compounds in the process For one ex ample botb nitric and sulphuric acids are used in making cel luloid but neither remains DI the finished product Dear Dr Molner use 12 halfgrain socchnrin tablets dayin my coffee Do you think this is too manyiMRS Theresno reason to worry think your beverage would be sickenlagly sweet however This did not apply to other fields in none of fhese had there been lhe thorough study needed for broad new approach But in many directions there were new steps which indicated there would eventually be comprehen sive new policies Farm marketing was one of lheselhere was inltlnl action toward meeting the problem of vertical integration Labor was another The door was partially opened to what It seemed would end up with policy of much firmer controls In Education of course we are on the road to tremendous changes And lo lesser degree the im pact of new era was evident in the other bmnches of govern ment This mark of change was not confined to lhe government It also was evident in the op position programs Both opposition groups indi cated they also were getting ready to travel new roads The Liberals had number of new bills The NDP showed new directions in its thinking Generally it was unqueslioii ably lbe start of new day REPORT FROM ILK Textile Industry Thrives In Ireland By Mm HOOD Special lander England Corrupdndenl for The Barrie
