Georgetown Herald A of Horn Nwpapar Company limited Main Street South Georgatown Ontario WALTER C BIEHN THURSDAY AUGUST 1371 EDITORIAL COMMENT Hockey Dilemma With Legion officials breathing fire and Georgetown Recreation Committee faced with operating the arena with as little cost as possible to taxpayers a battle over ice time fees seems to be shaping up For years Legion Branch 120 has been subsidizing Saturday morning minor hockey last season to the tune of 7 50 an hour for ice time An announced boost to is something Legion officials won pay and the Branch says this may force them out of sponsorship entirely If this should happen the town would be faced with finding another sponsor or with either dropping the sport entirely or footing the total cost of the Saturday league The Legion is one of the largest and wealthiest organizations in town It is that any other group could take over Dropping so popular a sport would be Pay For All policy of paying all persons appointed to serve on town boards and commissions has been proposed by Reeve Morrow It would replace the present system where some are paid some not And while it would cost the town more it would appear to be sensible The days are long gone when public service was repaid prestige and the desire to serve one community It was not customary in the forties for any appointed or elected official from mayor unthinkable And if no sponsor were available the Recreation Committee would have only one alternative to carry on the league on its own footing the bill from the town treasury or levying a fee for players to compensate at least in part for the expense Involved Perhaps the best solution would be to arrive at a compromise If the Legion would carry on at the an hour fee or a slightly higher one there could be a player charge added to make up some of the extra expense and the town could bend a bit and add an extra grant Whatever it is we hope there will be a minimum of feuding and recrimination in arriving at a speedy solution to the problem Minor hockey is such an integral part of Georgetown winter that it Is unthinkable that it will not carry on and council down to receive even token payments Today with substantial payments to council and school board representatives and police commissioners planning board and committee of adjustment members it would seem only proper to extend this to those on other appointed boards who still serve the old way At the same time council should look into payment for volunteer firemen and am who serve a most important function in the municipality Universities Confused university students today seem confused about what expect to get from their higher education Not so many at university wis a privilege available only to those whose parents could afford it or who could stripe up the monej one way or another The goal to equip oneself for a better and more satisfying job in life while acquiring and information not readily elsewhere Talking with today students a proportion seem to feel it is degrading to put university on a commercial basis Except for specific careers in medicine engineering dentistry those taking arts courses shy away from career training This is all very well for those with a family business to enter parents who Kennedy style want their offspring to be politicians or financiers But it leaves the average student in that well known up reek position One day read to enttr the working world jobs for others And with no specific skills flounder He finds that culture one of the requirements for most joIb in the business world We all for today idea of making a university education available to everyone But we are against the idea of everyone taking advantage of it Too many young people ire abandoning
