TUESDAY JUNE II II Flu Barrie Industries Show Steady Healthy Growth An announcement of new industry for Barrie is always welcome news for citizens It is sign of progress and of the citys ability to attract fresh capital Only last week Theta ltlsnufacturing announced it would establish on Dunlop St with staff of five initially However new industries alone are not the only sign of progress Existing plaan are constantly lncreasin in size and developing the equivalent new In dustries in further additions and staff increases An example of this development is Lufkin Rule Company of Canada Ltd described in more detail in special ar ticles on page six Lufkin was estab lished here in 1948 with staff of 34 men and women Today its payroll is $300000 annually and the staff has grown to 145 This firm in other words has developed more than four times its original size with export business increasing at rapid rate the prospects are that Lufkln will have staff in excess of 200 within two or three years We could cite other instances of in dustrial development Canadian Gen eral Electric Barries largest industry now has staff in excess of 650 and an annual payroll of $3000000 The firm added new lines during the past year and as increased its percentage of manufacturing Parts once imported are fabricated in the plant or purchased elsewhere in Canada GE also has plans for new addition this year costing in the neighborhood of $500000 Since the branch was start ed in 1940 the plant area has grown from 60000 to 4000 square feet im erinlEastman Corporation Can ads mited is another of the many Banie industries that have prospered with the years Established in 1961 imperial now has staff of 74 and an investment in plant and equipment of nearly $1000000 Already completed are plans for 10000square foot addi tion to cost $50000 These figures prove that the small in dustry does not remain small The de velopment of markets both in Canada and abroad has created growing de mand for products The average Barrie industry has found that it can compete on the international market The ex ansions at GE Lufkin and at imperial astman represent sizeable in dustries And this growth is reflected in more employment and greater prosper ity for the community as whole DOWN MEMORY LANE 30 YEARS AGO lN TOWN Barrie Examiner June 1034 Wil ioughby Cole greatgrandson of Gen eral Sir John

OTHER EDITORS VIEWS PROPER PLANNED FOLK FESTIVAL Guelph Mercury Recently deputation of Orlllias high school students came to mayor Isabel Post in an endeavor to have the Marlposa Folk Festival reinstituted for 1964 They received the cold shoulder from Her Worship Many will remember the somewhat sad ending this festival came to in 1003 when thousands came out for the festival but gang of rowdies hunting and boozing hoodlums made shambles of both the town and what was expected to be gala event The people responsible for advertising the event had publicized it as an allnight hootennany and this became an invitation for lawless element to invade the town for just that Apparently there had been little indication that sucha rowdy demi onstration would be sparked or the town could have been better prepared It was of course unfortunate that such rowdy ism should have occurred when the au thorities were not ready for it few years ago when delinquency was less out of band in comparison with to day we would not have seen demon stration like this Times have changed however and the hijinks ofthe students The Barrie Examiner AIIthoflzled lennrad claaa mail out Office apartment cum and

for potential buy ers to reward them by acquiring their work of art This exhibition being held this year for the lath successive summer Is one of the cultural activities aponrnred by tbs Lon don County Council Each year it has grown in scope and this year hundreds of paintings are attracting large crowds to View the work of Londons artists of the less prominent type As wandered along the em bankment viewing the paintings tha other day talked to some of the artists and found among them growing concern as to whether this will be the last year of their annual show While it has been sponsored by the London County Council next usprlng will sea the end of that body when its functions are tak en over by the Greater London Council The artists fear that with the passing of the LCC their annual exhibition may also pass out of existence They have avery strong impression that the Arts Council is bnnging pres sure in bear to ensure that the Greater london Council does not continua the exhibition in future years MEANS MUCH TO ARTISTS One of the artists who expres sed this fear was William Green of Greeniord in Middlesex llis painting of the Rolling Stones was the centreof great
