Surely we reside in a generous-hearted community.-- Acton Press Press. No wonder Ed- 'itor Moore is, such a well-fed, pros- perous, happy looking individual. Mr. Phillips, who has had his sum- mer residence in Barrie for a number _of years, has shown his interest in the town by establishing an-industry here. The Examiner is glad to see such action on the part of Mr. Phillips and hopes that the small beginning may grow rapidly and prove of much benet to the owner and the town. Mr. Hay s win at the Alliston tour- nament has been a matter of great gratication to the local bowling fraternity with whom the veteran skip is a prime favorite. ` T **&$%**&*$w%$$&%$$%%&%*&$ :$%&&$&&&$$&w%&&&&$$$%&&:; `F EDITORIAL COMMENT % 5% ' `Page Four saprsmsniiz W.

BARRlE S ANNUAL FAIR On Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-' day of next week the Barrie Agri- _ cultural Societywill hold its annual ` fall fair. During the past few months the management has been working earnestly on the arrangements with the result that the outlook is that this year's exhibition will be an attract- ive event that will afford educational and social advantages that will be of very great value. To Barriethe fair means much. Annually it brings to the town several thousandsof visit- ors, all of whom have, if that is the basis upon which this annual affair is to be judged, 5 more or less mercen- ` ary value.- But it has a greater val- ue, the Barrie Fair not having lost its place as an educational organiza- ; tion. By this it is not intended to mean -that there is direct teaching. It isindirect. The competition among the producers of grains and vege- tables, the breeders of cattle, sheep Discussing some of the weaknesses] in present day political conditions, the Brandon Sun observes: The truth lies in the fact that men no longer grasp some of the fundament- als that have to do withthe perman- iency of government. The younger `generations are too busy to think of [them or have no knowledge of them. The things that once developed bre I` and character in men and women ,are no longer popular. Therein lies the opportunity of the deinagrc-puie. The people mean" well enough, `out the pressure of living and trend of amusement or entertainment drives out opportunity of `thought and the numbers are an easy prey to any- thing that is opposed to the return to the normal. Individual thinking is rare; we' act in groups, think as bodies, vote as organizations and lose our character among unions. If we think, talk, vote and act, in groups ernments by the same process of. ma- chine voting--amd the normal the world needs today will still elude u.-. Add to.our docility in intellect the lazy slacker at. the polls and -the out- look is dull indeed. For all of which, or any evils suffered by any elector- ate, each man or woman in every . constituency is personally responsible just one vote. It is something to `we shall suffer temporary group gov- thmk about right now. Statistics concerningnthe operation I of electric railways for 1920 give `striking corroboration of the Suther- M land commission s nding as to the 0, feasibility of Hydro radial projects. `Of the sixty-six electric railways in Canada only thirteen paid a dividend in 1920. If these roads, built when construction costs were low, could not be run at a prot, how could Hy- dro` radials bearing the burden of ` high construction and operating costs pay their way? In the light of the facts brought out before the `Sutherland Commission, someof the pnunicipalities are not quite so en- thusiastic about tackling the radials without the government s` endorsa- ftion. "For example, the Oshawa IBoard` of Trade almost unanimously` has declared against the town assum- ing a burden of some $800,000 in connection with the guarantee of the bonds. In Whitby, also, the Gazette says,` local opinion is very strongly `against taking on the debt which the proposed radial would involve. Last week The Examiner suggest- ed the holding of community singing in connection with the band concerts. In a recent issue the `Boston Tran- `script commends very highly the joining together of the community in song. There is no earthly fate that can harm people who meet and sing joyously together, says the Transcript. They are proof against all. the ills of the earth, and these community gatherings for that rea- son are the rmest anchor to wind- ward that the American cities could `possibly put down. And nothing bet- ter could be done to make the people better realize the beauty and the ser- viceableness of their parks, and the value of one another s company than these admirable community gather- ` ':'lII"Q People motoring through the pret- ty village of Grimsby are greeted at the village limits by a large sign bearing the words, Grimsby Wel- comes You." On the reverse of the signs are' the words, Good-Bye. Come Again," conveying. a farewell greeting as the motorists depart. This method of marking. the limits of the municipality is'_ in pleasing contrast to the warning signs against a exceeding the speed limit seen in so many places. Motorists know what the speed lir.1`. is and they are much more likely to heed Grimsb'y s p1eas- ant intim_ition than they are to be stopped by -warning notices.
