Keyed up by the race with Col- lingwood for first honors in the district, the citizens gave en- thusiastie support to the can- vassers and hundreds of repeat orders came pouring in for vary- ingamounts, women and men both eager to keep Barrie to the front. And they did so in grand style, making a garrison finish. 'he last day one bank-alone, in Bar- rie turned in $259,000, all of which, however, did not. belong to this town. There was great excitement around Headquarters as the cam- paign neared its close, Half an 'hour before reporting time, a couple of the canvassors, mak- ing'a hurried total, figttred out that Barrie was just $8,200 short of a million. Immediately A. J. Wallace headed a rush for the street and before closing time -|the above amount was signed up and there was great jubilation, the canvassers all wearing mil- lion-dolar smiles.

Barrie had more than double of Colling- wood's total by the end of Oc- tober, but- the shipyard town braced up wonderfully and was only a few hours behind Barrie in 'attaining its objective--on Nov. 6. Neck-and-neck they raced, Barrie leading until Nov. {4, when their opponents placed Collingwood turned in over $150,- 000 the last day and thought they had the race cinched, but (Continued on page 5) their horse $1300 to the good. | Innisfil W. SIMCOE SECOND -IN PROVINCE Almost Doubled Its Objective Piling up Total of $3,488,- 500, While Barrie and Collingwood were-busy chasing each other and dollars for Sir Henry Dray- ton the other divisions in Simeoe Wost were not idle by any means. Directad by the, exeeedingly cap- uble organiz Messrs. Pringle and Wilson, who fairly bubbled with enthusiasm, the canvassers applied themselves to their work with a will und had the extreme satisfaction of seeing not only every division over its objective, but the whole district within one place of takng first honors for the whole of Ontario. Parry Sound was the only district whose percentage was higher, and a much lower objective made the increases count in much higher proportion. Simene West nearly doubled its original ob- jective of 81,800,000 with a splendid total of $3,488,550. [t is probable that the district, honor flag will be presented al, the County Council meeting next| week. Last year this district raised 82,433,750. Distriet Totals Below are given the total sub- scriptions for each division, to- gether with original objectives. At the time these figures were handed- out all the returns had not heen checked up but they are approximately correct.

I'm only here to explain the machinery of the campaign; the philosophy of it will be given by Dr. Horace b, Haskell who is with us; and John H. Laughton will tell you what a Chamber of Commerce has done in London, Ontario. We build a most democratic. organization; you elect your own'directors and they elect their own president; you choose a secretary or indus_ trial commissioner or whatever you call him, and you develop, by your own ballot work, your pro- gram of work--the future ac- tivities of the Association. It's not to buck the Town Council but to work hand in hand with them, and help them." He was followed by Dr. Horace B. Haskell, former pr Beaver College. "You men said Dr, Haskell, "can do any- thing for your town you want to do --anything! An individual, no matter how good he is, can't. Organized effort can accomplish things while individualisin can- not. What makes you and { dif. ferent from one another is p sonalily. The fact that we pos- sess individual personalities means that we are not complete unto ourselves, but eaeh supplies something in our make-ups that the other lacks. In an organ- ization we get all of those in- dividual forces banded together for efforts for the common good --and if is that 'filling the gap" in each other's personality, which supplies to a big organization a complete organization personal- ily--a working force for tho community." "I pead a speech of your new Premier's the other day--and you have eve eason to be proud of Mr. Drury when he says 'Be- ing a citizen of a democracy means a chance to serve." That is what this Association is for --service." Dr. Haskell out- lined the possibilities for good if everyone caught the higher spiritual values in this unselfish movement and predicted the suc- cess of the campnign, "There is no brighter sunshine on God's earth," said John H. Laughton in his talk, "than the sunshine you make for the other fellow. This Association is to sow some sunshine in the com- munity life.
