Georgetown Herald A Division of Horn Newspapers Company limited Main Street South Georgetown Ontario WALTER B1EHN Publisher THURSDAY JUNE 3rd EDITORIAL COMMENT Birth of New Paul Helryer who might have been a Canadian Liberal prime minister had It not been for is promot ing Action Canada in dally newspaper advertisements And while he come right out and it we Judge that we may be seeing the of a fourth Canadian political If he gets enough public support As one who has been preaching for a fourth party for some time Mr has us somewhat mystified He has up his federal seat resigned from the official Liberal poli tical party but still as an independ ent in parliament We would admire him more tie resigned com pletely for as we understand the par liamentary system man elected not as a person but as a party member If he sheds his party affiliation does he then truly represent the people who voted him in The Mr pro pounds ere mostly sera He would have government pro vide more housing reduce Income taxes cut down pollution have Canadians par decisions But are these any different than one or other of the established parties promise If be has the answer to the riddle Neater Town on a cleanup cam paign town should not be allowed to wane The tons of garbage collected in a council sponsored GreenUp the work of the Lions Club in sweeping Mam Street on a couple of Saturdays the river cleanup by the Concerned Citizens Group augurs well for a tidier future Georgetown But much more lbs entail ed we are to do our small part Canada- more beautiful A of adults are past the stage where they will ever learn not to litter And each succeeding generation seems to get more careless What we need is an emphasis on of doing more and more with less money ho should spell out his plan more clearly What frightens us about the Action idea is bis blast at senior civil servants He claims that a small number of net ministers plus the top echelon of civil servants form an autocratic group who control government decisions And his statement that be would shuffle civil servants every few years is and could do untold harm to our economy Whatever type of government a democracy elects there is no way of governing without em ployees We would not want to see a return to the days of political patron which his statement implies We won wash out Action Canada immediately The time is long past when government at all levels must stop considering the public purse as a pit But rf we are to reduce taxes give people more control over the money they earn we cannot con to promise more social welfare more subsidies more security This will be Mr Hellyers biggest hurdle No politician has yet been on an economy program if the economy is at the expense of the man he hopes will elect him HOT AND COLD WATER IN PREPLUMBING DAYS Double la a conversation starter at County the training of youngsters to be neat If parents would tram them schools stress neatness such groups as Cubs and Brownies encouraged to embark on cleanup protects we could get some where the next decade Nature has grven us such a beau heritage in this part Ontario is sad that we despoil our scenery with bottles and cans waste paper and lit ter of all sorts One of the few good things we have heard about Nazi Germany was an emphasis on cleanliness A friend com peting the Olympic Games told us that he threw a chocolate bar wrap per on the ground was tapped on the shoulder by a policeman who said don do that here Sentiment in Quilts An item in the news caught our eye last week To mark the 25th anniversary of their a couples daughters pieced a quilt which depicted highlights of their married life It will surely be a treasured of the couple and of their child ren and grandchildren the years to come It made us think of the demise of the once popular crazy quilt the days of our childhood The quilts always told a story We remember our mother pointing out the various quilt blocks each part of a dress she had worn may be a reminder of a happy time when she had worn it to a party maybe a tinge of sadness but all recalling dents m her Me The quilts went out of fashion for many reasons Women entered an era when there was more social activity less emphasis on home crafts Houses are now bet heated and the old heavy quilts aren needed to keep one warm To j A Sober Side to Delights of June June is one of the happiest months of the year in Canada Or it should be In other countries they have spring In thia country we tuny have a bleak month before the last snow goes and June bursts forth In all her lush splcn door is startling green end ho cattle fill their bellies with the Juicy sweetness after a long winter of confinement and dull fodder Young ones of all species gambol snort hick up their heels and butt their mo thers on one side then on the udder Our trees have forgotten their groaning cracking in the teeth of winter they bow and whisper like ladles at a garden party tho rcU scamper saucily about their legs and tho birds twitter their ample bosoms and verdant hair June Is full of anticipation The boat owners are painting and repairing and launching The golfers ore having their finest hour before the silly sum duffers swarm onto the courses And school is nearly over And the most beautiful ages ever conceived in oiling month when surely every Canadian should be Praise the Lord or Let Joy be or at least Wow This is the greatest But a benevolent In its must remind man that every light contains darkness that every good balanilnt evil probably Just as well If health So in June as in life there another turn of the wheel an other side of the There all that glorious nat ure Just waiting to be revelled In And there are nil those and blacknies Just ting to revel la turning you Into a swollen porpoise or a strip ped skeleton There s all that luxuriant grass But dam stuff is up lo your knees before you get your lawn mower overhauled And there all that young life June was a nappy month for my mother more years ago than It Is decent to talk about She proudly bore her third me But what she got was a sickly whelp who cried for two years without stopping barely survived every Infants aliment there was In those days There oil that anticipation But the boat owner discovers that the rats have been at sails or the termites at hull motor has developed a perforated ulcer And the golfer swings too hard on his first day out slips a disc and is out for the summer To be sure school Is nearly out But June Ii pure hell for both teacher and student For the teacher It is a scramble of final reviews an of evaluation a of stalls fair enough He paid for It But he might as well be teaching a couple of cords of wood The bodies arc there but minds and spirits have fled through the open windows Into the mushy June air worse for the dent There Is that oaf talking about poetry when greatest day one usually finds them in were no bad smells cottages these lender reminders of appreciate the good I poetry in the world is taking ones If we never felt pain or place outside that stifling rcc Illness appreciate I prison The blood stirs past tho limbs go languorous the eyes go glassy and that retard adult up front might as well bo talking to himself in As for those beautiful ones conceived in heaven and time tabled for June If I had any statistics Id say that show that fifty per cent of them will end In a life of quiet desperation thirty per cent of hem will be unbearable ten per cent will be Impossible five per cent unspeakable The rest wilt wind up having their sixtieth anniversary pictures La the local paper I not being cynical June wouldn t miss it for anything I am merely as usual presenting the facts TBE AiAIL BAG Your Blood Could Save Accident Victim
