90th YearNo IZO The Best and The Worst In Crisis and Tragedy In periods of great crlsls and tragedy two things always emerge clearly the best in people and unfortunately the worst It has given this newspaper the utmost sntlsmctlon since the flood crlsls his Simone County to talk about the wonderful spirit which has been shown In all the various phases this major catastrophe No one regrets more than this newspaper the act that now has to stun relating to the other aspect the situation Barrie citizen in conversation with one of our 5m members sald he had heard cm lctsm about Mondays Issue of The Examiner The criticism was that this newkpaper had concentrated on writingabout the disaster in Holland Marsh and had not givenmuch oi coverage to what occurred in Barrie statement was made that After all It the town newspaper Herewe make our first correction The Barrie Examiner is county newspaper Admittedly we did have game damage In the town but In the words of one of our Hclnls as he exprgssed it to eporten When one considers what happened IQ other places we can only be grateful that we cscnp ed as llghny us we did Without minimising the fact that we were niiected by the floods no one in their right senses could possibly imagine that there was evan the slightest éompnilson between what happened here and what happened in Hoi innd Mnrsh The slgnlflcnm pain 15 however that thls newspaper and every member of Its sum was of the same opinion that was our duty to let us many people know as posslble Just how magic the sltunupn was with our neigh bors 1n the Brudtord men We also took sntlsmcuon 1n the fact that when we dld write about what happened down hnre we could tell something of the story of the people from Barrie who voiun tccred to go down there and mu In the Ips cuc work They did wonderluLjob There was another comment which came to our ears was man The Exnmlncr tell down on taking pictures or the damage in Barrie This statement was so incorrect as to be preposterous Bruno Red Favero worked hard and photographed every phase at what happened during the situation as it develop ed here on Friday nigh and right through until Saturday He then went to Bradlord and did the same thing As must always be the case when the layouts for the edition were being planned it was realized that only certain amount space wak available This newspaper is 01 the opinion that the photo graphic coverage at the Holland Marsh trag edy by its stall photographer was 50 excellent in capturing the drama or what Occurred that all available space would be used or those pictures We are mme of the oplnlon hut ours was the correct cholcc II regretted cw our subscribers Keel that we should hnvu reversed the Im portnncc or the sltuutlons 1L1 they were be tween Barrie and the Hollnnd Marsh But we know that there urc few people npurt rum those whuse minds cnn envisage llttlc other than their own lmmcdlntc llttle problva who would huvc hm it other wlsc One of these was

get much 01 re ception Because it happens to be to some 01 the Barrie men who left their own home to go down nrndrdro nothingolherhugn pure The tragedy which struck Ontario in Friday nights flood has caused tremendous damage over wide section of our province and while we have been fortunate in this area to escape the dreadful toll 01 lives that was taken else where many or our neighbors in Slmcoe County have been left homeless and penni less in the wake oi the disaster Please Give Generously Holland Marsh Relief Fund Hardest hit of all have been the people in the Hoiinnd Marsh They have had their livelihood snatched irom their grasp over night and oniy bienk future stares them in the face now Something like $10000000 lossvhus been caused there Already the Holland Marsh Flood Relief Fund has been setup and within short tlme of being estubllshed over $600000 had been received In Bradford other donatlona are being collected through the dltlerent banks In Bunlo and also at the office this newspaper An oIflclnl or the FuncHn Bradford has told this newspaper that the response from the outside centres has been exceptionally good Plenty food and clothmz fol Immediate use was flowing Into Erndlard for the Marsh victims as soon as their plight was realized Much of that mum1n assistance came from cmzens In Bnrrle who made very openhearted response to the appeal or help which was broadcast Saturday by CKBB Mony of our cltlzens moved ln rlght away to aid in the rescue work in the Holland Marsh The tales of heroic work whlch was done during the llood erlsls there by men of the Grey and Blmeoe Foresters and the Canadian Leglon lrom Barrie ls already well known They are deservlng oi the highest prane and lt is almost certaln that no one wlll ever know the tremendous eontributlon our lellow citizens lndlvldually und collee tlvely made in the heartbreaking rescue work there In vlew ol the wlde scope of the rescue work lt was not possible the tlme to dlscover all those lrom Barrie who dld tuke part but lt is now known that one local ilrm whlch played vltol role ln the opera tions was Delaney Boat Llncs Altogether the ilrm sent down three boats and they were some oi the ilrst to so into action manned by employees who worked through or some thing llke 14 or 15 hours wlthout break At the present time In the Hounnd Marsh nron them Is sumclcm food and
