Georgetown Herald A Division of Homo Newspapers Company Main Street South Georgetown Ontario WAITER C Publisher Page GEORGETOWN THURSDAY DEC EDITORIAL COMMENT Question With Pros and Cons A jurisdiction dispute between town council and the Recreation Com mlttee has left Georgetown with no regulations for snowmobile operation within town limits It is particularly sad because both groups agree that regulations are needed as do a majority of residents And to stall needed regulation because of a disagreement on how this winter sport should be earned on in parks should be something which could be speedily solved The contentious point is whether a proposed by law should specify in what park locations snowmobile trails will be established The Recreation Committee wants Lets Get Together While we do not completely favour establishment of government operated day care centres for children of working mothers it would seem that this is to be one of the ad ditions to life which a changing society demands With the Ontario government promoting this through generous subsidies on construction George town council is taking a look trying to ascertain the need before discussing action Certainly we are in a world of working mothers and there can De decided advantages in having child care centralized under an organized system And yet if the idea is promoted too strongly Is there not discrimination against mothers who decide to stay home and look after their own children He Means It Twenty five years as an emcee at dinners and social events is a long time And Wheldon Steamer Em has decided to be only a liBtener in future so he told us this week Mr Emmersons retirement from the public platform is definite he said for a number of reasons For one he says that despite the seeming ease with which he emcees an event there is a nervous strain a striving for originality the choice of material to fit the occasion An emcee worth His salt is a performer and on each appearance an emcee is subject to the same butterflies which opening night performers suffer in the wings this left to them to change as con may dictate Council says these should be defined in the by law Both sides have a point Council wants a clear definition believing it would be difficult to ad minister a by law which could have shifting regulations Recreation officials say that weather conditions could alter any original plan Surely there is some way the two groups can get together and put the by law into effect It has many other clauses of importance not the least of which is to keep the machines off Main and Guelph streets dangerous routes for both snowmobilers and other vehicles We are not familiar with the fees which would be established or how these would compare with what women pay now tor private baby sitting However assuming that a central Ized day care system were operating we feel that it should be available not only for children of working parents but should also have accommodation for children when the mother at home wants a day off from her chores as a housewife The other angle which council must consider of course is whether there is a need for a day care centre or whether the town is adequately served by the many women who supplement their husbands income by caring for anothers child If so despite subsidy there would be no need for the town to embark on such a project For another he feels there are many others well qualified to head up a dinner and its time they had their chance Dont get him wrong Our Steamer has enjoyed every minute of it as anyone knows who has attended an event where he presided One has to like the job as well as having the talent for it to perform so successfully in public It is particularly fitting that his last appearance was on Monday at the Senior Citizens dinner which has been enhanced by his wit almost since its inception For all those who have enjoyed him the Herald says thanks Steamer for a job well done Well miss you
