editorials than 111 the actual wording After dealing with mun dane pursuits for 51 weeks of the year an editor finds that his pen is inadequate to cope with the thoughts of Christmas edl torlal But

Reunion In 1950 IWo or threeyears ago there were sug gestions that Barrie should have an Old Boys lteunion However after learning of the financial deficits left in other municipalities that had sponsored similar events the idea was quietly forgotten There were some sug gestions that the celebration should be held over until Barries Centennial Year Since the subject has been introduced again there are those who have suggested that further infor mation should be obtained to verify the sig nificance of the year 1950 It really ought not to matter whether the yriir 1950 is Centennial Year for Barrie or not Certainly there were some events that took place here 100 years ago that could be used as the basis fer Centennial Celebra tion The matter of most importance is to de cide whether Barrie is to have such an oc casion Barrie should have an Old Boys Reunion in the coming year There has been no such celebration In this town for many years And each year the event is postponed there are fewer of the really old timers to come back Art Exhibit Attracts Interest The art exhibit in the high school auditor Ium last week attracted hundreds of spect ators from throughout the district and even from centres many miles distant The exhibit was sponsored by the Barrie Art Club in co operation with the Barrie District Collegiate Institute The art club which was organized only few months ago with Llew Beaver as president has already had busy season The club drew together several persons interest ed in art and through facilities provided at the high schOol night 012135 was organized The services of Thomas Mitchell were engag ed as an instructor for the class Mr Mitchell to the home town rcuiiloii would provide an opportunity for the older sons and dan ghters to meet again and recall the old days And it would also be time for the younger citizens and newcomers to learn more about Barrles history For such celebration as an Old Boys Ite unlon the Town of Barrie has unique as set in the person of Fred Grant This for mer resident who has now returned has the names and addresses of hundreds of former Barricltes who are now scattered throughout the four corners of the earth even as far away as New Zealand His help would be in valuable in planning such celebration An Old Boys Reunion would cost money and It would also Involve agrcat deal of effort and work But anything that Is worth while must be paid for In some way or other Everyone enjoys celebrdtlon and everyone should be willliigto centribute his share to the effort Perhaps we could htivg lead from some civic organization to get plans under wrri in paintings by professional artists of th dis trch and also paintings of local interest be cause the subject matter was of persons and places In Simcoe County An outstanding featurepf the exhibit was the work Egbert Oudendag This renowned Dutch ar ist who now makes hls home at Aurora showed portraits and other paintings some of which had been executed since he came to Canada last summer As amatter of fact the exhibition Iii Barrie last ek is the first public exhibition in Canadmat which the work of Oudendag had been Show visitor Ll and ner returned WSS$SSW
