Georgetown Herald A Division of Home Ntwpipr Company limited Main Street South Georgetown Ontario WALTER C THURSDAY NOVEMBER EDITORIAL COMMENT Times Have Changed Youngsters who think today adults are too square would be amazed if they looked back in the Herald files a couple of decades to see what a change there has been An editorial in which we expressed the thought that beer and liquor should be advertised brought mail bag letters from members of the Women s Christian Temper Union and others chid us for our views One writer likened us to Ralph the Rover In a popular school poem The Inch cape Rock Ralph was a pirate who moved A Real Day of Rest Last week the Herald carried a story on a new off track betting shop ust open in town And an advertisement for a beer garden festival which has become a way to raise service club funds Sunday end baseball games have become common golf courses are that day beaches crowded Believe it or no It is a different world While we dont necessarily agree with dropping all the restrictions which made Sunday a day of rest we certainly are hap we dn t grow up in our parents day At the turn of century the puritan ethic so disparaged today was in full force particularly among those in the pro- A Meeting to Attend We lived in border city and Sun days across the river was the temptation of movies We sneaked across to one and carried our guilty for some time Then mother shocked us She had visited a friend In the State for weekend and to a Sunday how There was a reason in those days for a Sunday rest of courts Men worked a hour or longer week Women had many mora household chores I and few of amenities of todays trie age They needed the r Sundays to recharge batteries Today there not that need The day working week gives plenty of lime I for relaxation On Sunday people are ready fr a change which have to be a rest Meet the Candidates night next the warn bell so ships would on the rock Another time when we suggested thai sports should be legal on Sundays drew a stern admonition from the ministerial association Criticism of a politician of the day got us into hot water fast with an writer who said we should tend to the business of Writing news and leave to the experts Yes things have moved very fast in a generation testant faith When mother was a child the sabbath was strictly observed One could read only a religious book take a walk for reasons only In our grandmothers house the piano lid was on Sunday We can remember one Sunday when we were visiting grandma made her own concession to change She told us we could play some hymns on the piano As a teenager at the Beach the stuck their guns The allowed the r children to go swim and play a game of euchre These were to he Methodists unl I church on leavened their philosophy FAMOUS LAST WORDS Monday sponsored by the Jaycees should be a must on ihe list of every Georgetown resident Interested municipal affairs Voters have some opportunity during the year to evaluate a councillors job by reading items of council news New dates except through mail bag letters or an appearance council to discuss a spec ific issue are politically unknown Monday you will have an ty I to everyone make your own judgment on who you want for the top council and for councillors in your ward water and other offices up for election The Jaycees are to be commended for public service It is helpful to both candidates and voters provide a public forum where everyone is on an equal basts and has the opportunity to put their story across In The Mail Bag Freeze Order Leaves This Farmer in Precarious Spot Georgetown Dear Sir Would you please include this letter which I have sent to Frime Minister John in your Mai Bag j Dear Mr I notice hi a recent newspap er article that the Hon Donald of Transport wishes to many thousands acres of Ontario farmland It is bad enough lo have jour land expropriated but if a agency freezes Mich tracts of land the hard ships placed upon the many owners are much worse than ex I will try to set out below a of problems involved There la very large number tat farmers a the of life when they to sell their firms and retire If a prospect I purchaser knew the govern ncnt was contcm plating the ex of their land for an airport they would not buy It The proposed public hearings after the kind freeze I feel are merely a delaying tactic which mill lake some years and prob- at the best a public decis ion Hill not be made on this matter until after he next fed election If I not mistaken the Mm 1 later not too Ions I a decision on the location of the airport by early fall of this date is already pest In meantime farmers In these who wish to continue and necessary I and pendilurcs mil be placed in the uncertain position of not know ins ttholhcr they can ever re cover these investments Whether you to continue farming or whether you sell the result Is that you unable to operate in a sensible l businesslike manner When final airport location is deter mined the whose farms expropriated will then have go through the usual of being offered relatively poor settlements and because of a lengthy land freeze there will not be any recent comparable of land lo reflect current market values Government ag will evaluate these proper lies in say or on sales that are at least five years old a person immediately accepts the government offer would probably be another three four years before any final settlement could be forced upl on the government By that time with the federal governments complete inability to control wages and Inflation we find that the purchasing power of our final settlement dollars will probably be about j of Ihrir present day value In the meantime those of us who wish to remain farming will have been denied the right through lack of funds to resettle on anything like a comparable farm Many of those who wish lo retire will probably be in their The pretext hat the federal government is trying lo reduce speculation absolute i sense no especially spectator would knowingly tie up his money Mil land that is going to be expro priated The cost of money tod ay at the bank and more elsewhere combined with the unknown length of tame and only one buyer makes I this a shaky proposition ho speculator Is that crazy The federal government has spent thousands of dollars over the past few years on reports commissioned from private com panics plus their own staff re ports trying to the most suitable location for n airport in the Toronto area With all this time and effort if the best location is not known I feel it shows a com lack of competence- not only in the Minister of Trans- 1 port but his stall and the consulting firms that he has used Besides having to pay my of this cost of ion through taxation I am asked to bear a heavy bur in the of lands I understand that my flora is located on one of the possible airport sites In County portion of ing Township I a sec ond proposed site is in
