74Yearx Record Outstanding Barrie Flyers Merit Support Even Though in Losing Season There was an excellent game of hockey played at the Barrie Municipal Arena Wed nbsday evening The leaguerleading Toronto Marlboros were extended to tlms imit to de feat by 42 the Barrie Flyersw game was what fans call thriller from start to flu ish The Barrie team matched the visitors in every respect but putting the puck in the net From start to finish there was speed stickhandling and smart playmaking on both sides For those who like further action there was plenty of bumping and several hec ticfightsin which nobody suffered any dam age but wounded feelings No matter whether the home side won or lost it was one of those games worth watching It was therefore surprising to look at the seats and see so many yawning vacancies About 1200 attended we are informed The arena can accommodate about 4000 Granted there were several cetings in towu on Wed nesday but that rdly accounts for the lack of attendance the hockey match because ndrcd would be involved else where some other function And yet there was the team considered to be the best in the Ontario Hockey Associations Junior series this season playing against the Barrie Flyers who are none other than the defend ing Canadian champions Let us look back few short months We can remember the great interest in the late part of the season of 195051 when it began todawn on peoplerthat we had pretty good team in Barrie And then the playoffs and the hysteria that began to develop It even began to get tough to get seats here And the wild demonstrations on the main street as the Flyers returned home from Toronto Maple Leaf Gardens after winning the Out ario title It was worse as the Flyers got into the Quebec playoffs and won the Eastern FRIDAY FEBRUARY 1952 finals two Eastern Canada championships three times in Eastern Canada finals three OHA championships five years out of seven in the playoffs In the overall picture it would seem that Barrie Flycrs merit continuing public sup port Wc cant have winning team here all the time Besides if Barrie kept winning the cup all the time the other cities would be disheartened and drop out Theres still full month of good hockey so lets show the team and their sponsors that Barrie and District are behind them win or lose and well get chance to crow another day over those who are on top now Level of Business Depends On Expectations of Future Normally spending increases as income rises But in 1951 while both gross national product and labor income ran about 17 higher than in 1950 retail sales did not fol low suit Estimates put sales only slightly higher in dollarvolume What has happened in 1951 comments The Financial Post reminds us that the level of business depends on expectations of the fu ture The shifts and adjustments which took place are normal for free economy They are not cause for alarm In 1952 the consumer will still be calling the tune but hes an unpredictable fellow and how he feels about the outlook for six he revealed 12 and more months ahead is mystery all business would like to pierce Some fresh looks at prices might produce some easier prices That might help lOt in making up consumer minds OPINIONS or OTHERS Toleration Becomes Weakness Ottawa Journal There is point where toleration becomes weak Canada title Then to cap it all the team went ncSS whcrc confidence is simply follythe question to Winnipeg and won the Memorial Cup in four straight games In May 1951 thousands packed the streets of Barrie to welcome home the champions It looked as if everybody climbed on the bandwagon for couple of months then 50195152 is new hockey season Several boys of the champion team are still playing here No doubt they remember the adula tion and crowds that greeted them last sea son Wonder what they think about as they look up and see the empty seats this winter Must we always have winner Of course this seasons team is not as good as thhhampions But few have accused them of lack of try They are very young team and most of them are eligible for another yearvor more We can imagine how next aca son they could develop into another contend ing club same of these other teams now rid ing ontop of the heap have lot of exper iencedplayersa still on the roster They are going to lbse most of them at the end of this seasoniAnd so it goes in hockey The pro cessof building goodteam is continuing job and losers come with winners Take the Oshawa Generals who for many years dominated junior hockey They just ended an isgame losing streak this week Getting back to the Flyers theyhavenot had good support all season long and We have heard every variety of excuse for nonlv attendance There are times when even the Summarifaeis petition has been tried as the team has seemingly blown game in the last period afterit has looked to be won But most of the regular supporters know full well that this years team is far from being as bad as their record would indicate They have hadunfortunate injuries to key playr ersand they have had almost fantastic bad luck around the other teams net This 5921 5911 View teams have outplayed the

observations which we think are worthy of being further disseminated and not least among these is the factthat last year life insurance companies paid but around240 million dollars in benefits to Canadians in death benefits and to living policyholders Life insurance as pointed out is certainly perform ing function of utmost importance to the nation al ccdnomy helping to mobilize the long term sav ings of the Canadian people More than 10000 sales men arc professional merchandisers of thrift who earhathcir llVing by fpersuading people to save their money through the purchase of life insurance etc tovprotect dependents should they die too soon and to provide retirement income should they live be yond their wOrking years It is interesting to know that life companies today are administering funds totalling more than $4 billion accumulated for the benefit of million policyholders and their depend ents the pool of savings increasing at the rate of nearly $250 million each year The life insurance campanies believe it or not made submission to We Joint Parliamentary Coni mittcc on Old Age Security in May 1950 and advocab ed system of universal old age benefits very similar to that which has now been approvad When so do ing the companies frankly said they had in mind that if floor of old age benefits were so provided the privzlte savings institutions in Canada such as life insurrlnce companies the fraternal benefit societies the banks trust companies and credit unions would thereafter have the prime responsibility for encour aging and persuading peopltho practice thrift and provide themselves with supplementaryretirement lnCOm rm They anticipated they say that the subsidized system of covarnment Annuitiespwhich have been in effect since 1908 would be
