Products Provide Needed Energy Supplies IOllONIOlluring thc wmtcr months people use more energy than in summer doing the ordin ary things of everyday life ac cording to the Dairy Foods Service Bureau merchandising branch of the Dairy Farmers of Canada The average person in Canada carries greater weight of clothing during winter Outside footing is more difficult and insecure causing greater expenditure of energy in the simple task of walking Winter chores about the house with most pdoplc call for more strenuous cf fort particularly if snow and ice removal are part of these chores These all add up to the need for greater store of energy in winter at Barrie Arena against Waterloo Hurricanes and their Saturday vis it to Garden City Arena St Catfi arincs COMPULSORY SAVINGS it seems clear now that the cf fccts of the deflationaiy policy put into effect last February have been overestimated We still regret that plan of compulsory savings was not put into force Such plan would have

directors of The Barrie Examiner Limited proudly announce that commencing next week this newspap er will become triWeekly publication with editions on Mon day Wednesday and Friday This decision was reached after long research and deliberation The fact is that Barrie has grown to city status in popula tion it not in name It is fairly generaly known that the popu lation must be over 13000 in town alone and whentheenU figures are released they may be more than that We have found that under the present system of twice weekly Monday and Thtirsday production is very unwieldy Thursday for instance is often running into four sections and even three sections makes it difficult to get out an uptodahe newsy paper However it is planned under the new Monday Wednesday Friday publication dates to provide much betterbalanced newspaper Size of of each issue will be closer to standard and all regular featurecolumnsandpageswilll139 Same for every edition muclf bttr scrvlcechadermlget tnrnew

of the Barrie Floodlight Commission Second contest was the senior all star game Oct Members of all four clubs expressed their ap proval of the lights with the ex ception of in blind spot to the rear of second base in centre field This blind spot commission member stated can be eliminated by the proper focussing of several flood lights General comment was to the cf fecl that the lights were veryav orable better than expected and certainly better than anything in this district Future intentions are to add more lights about the park and focus into the diamond from the outfield While those lights are recommend cd for softball baseball could be played under them it was stated Addition of outfield lights would make this even more feasible it was the commissions hope to have the lights installed and in op eration by July so that they might be put to use this past season both for local teams and for tourna ments However supply difficplties forced delay Cost of provision and installation came to $4500 Six Banks of Lights Lights consist of six banks pre focussed containing total of 24 lights each of 1500 watts making total wattage of 36000 The ser vice wiring is of heavy type so that more lights may be added and it is hoped by the commission to provide the tops in baseball lighting by 1953 The lights will not only provide night ball in Barrie but will aid in the completion of twilight

journey across Lake Sim coc But when they got to Frank tin Beach near Jacksons Point they saw storm coming up and anchored the boat Thestorm came for sure and they were up all night asmthe rough sea
