sewer system hi georgetown issur ed by the medical officer of health and the firm of hagey gray and plunkett consulting engineers who have recently made a survey of the situation there are two public improvements which when completed and in opera tion are always a source of real satis faction and pride to the citizens and inevitably will be the cause of greater prosperity to the community i refer here to a public water supply and a sanitary sewer system georgetown has long had the for mer and now faces the opportunity of voting to install the latter it is safe to say that any citizen looking back at the time when the pump was his water supply would never wish to go back to that stage and sacrifice the comfort and safety or the present supply without the water system the sewage system is of course imprac ticable and there is every reason to believe that with the installation of a sewage system and the resulting comfort arid increased sanitation that it would indeed be a dyed in the wool crank who would say i wish we didnt have sewers in georgetown individually if we conscientiously it is only really a palliative and must be faced over and over again a sewer system is not a palliative but a cure the initial cost is the final ex pense every voter should carefully con sider whether he or she can conscient iously afford to be in the ranks of those who vote against what is con sidered the world over in civilized countries as a necessity to the health of every community and will undeni ably be an asset to yourselves and- your children glen williams mr and mrs clayton

and donna of brantford mrs james mcnally has been examined our yearly costs in cash spending a holiday in brantford and comfort and health there is little doubt that the ledger would show a considerable profit in favor of sewers sanitation and the accompanying health and comfort many of you can point to friends and neighbours who are periodically faced with the expensive and filthy task of extending or cleaning out their septic tanks in many cases this is a major expenditure costing as much as 10000 and when finished is now staying for a while with rela tives in hamilton the ladles

everyone georgetown high school drops close decision to milton in rugby with a team riddled with injirtes the local rugbyists paid another visit to milton and lost a hardfought game by the close score of 3 1 con sidering that six of their players were on the side lines through injuries and other reasons the red and blue de serve great credit tor their fine show ing most teams under similar cir cumstances would collapse but this georgetown crowd is a bunch of real fighters who never give up trying milton took the kickoff and their fast end runs made big gains for them in the early part of the game georgetowns fastimproving line held at critical times and some great plung ing by barber lorriman and schertzl carried them deep into enemy terri tory but lorrtmans kicking was away off and a third down fumble gave milton a big break during the second period play was wideopen and ranged from end to end two minutes before the whistle found georgetown in possession on their own fiveyard line in atempung to kick clear lorriman fumbled and was forc ed to drop on the ball behind his lne for a safety touch and a 2 0 lead for milton schertxl took over the kicking chores in the second half and the local attack began to click picked up a low snap and with a flock of milton players ail round him got a beautiful so yard punt away for the red and blues point through most of the third and fourth periods the play was deep in the county towns territory but ojfl just oouldnt dint the milton line when success would have meant points three minutes from the end mil ton launched another offensive that carried them cram their ore yard line right up the held and on the last play of the game the milton quarter hoof ed point for the locals joe8ehsrtsl was a standout both in ha and plung ing barbers running and plunging were also a feature johnny mcchsre at end turned in his beat game of the season and frequently stopped the fleet milton backs behind their nwn line while lorrimans kicking was below form his plunging and defen sive work on the secondary was more than good enough to earn fourstar rating etoentp tar after poppy day in georgetown next saturday nov 5th alk along the street any street in any provincial city or town and pick out hall a dozen men who wear their canadian legion button ask them say buddy what were you doing twenty years ago today then after he has convinced himself that you arent crazy and has had time to adjust his mind over the space of years his eyes will light up and hell talk i tried this experiment and it hurt the first man i picked out was grey not very tall pale faced and shabbily dressed twenty years ago he had been a smart crisply spoken regimental sergeant major of a lancashire regiment a man who was feared but respected he wore the ribbons of the dcjvl and bar as well as the mm and the croix de guerre twenty years ago he was hoping to push back the hun to where he had first engaged him in october 1914 yes he was one of the old contemptlbles eighteen when the war broke out only twentythree when it finished he had fought his way up from private to sergeant major and won his decorations today twenty years atter he is still only fortythree but everywhere he goes looking for work he is told he is too old despite the fact i felt a new suit a hair cut and a shave would have made a big difference in his appearance i know at the bottom of my heart that there was something wrong with this man who like many others had failed to adjust himself to civilian life during the postwar years there was something wrong and that something was the fact that he and they had burnt themselves out during the war years they had given everything they had they had geared themselves up to the very top notch they had kept going when they were tired oh i so tired until after the war was over twenty years after they just cant produce the necessary pep the necessary spirit and fire which makes a man a profit producer he is not too old to work he is just slowed down he hasnt now the driving power he had when he handled a regiment but employers still want that high power driving force they want men who can win dc ms and maays in industry they want men who can go over the top and capture a hundred thousand dollar a year sales they want men who can outthlnk and outguess the opposition and outfight competi tion and there is no sympathy or mercy in modem business competi tion is such that the executives must be cold efficient nerveless men while their subordinates must have the fire and spirit of youth in their souls the next man i met was building flyingboats when the war ended he was just a young shaver but he had been so long supervising the construction of flyingboats they called him uncle when he was only twentythree he used to stay up all night working out this problem and worrying over the other in 1917 he tore a wrecked ship to pieces and rebuilt her he had her back in the air again within fortyeight hours today he is unemployed his eyes have lost their fire his tongue has lost its bite his chest is where his belly should be his chin is rough his clothes well they were not made for him yes this man made a name for himself during the war and he appeared to have plenty of energy left when he came back only ten years ago he belonged to the one hundred thousand dollar per annum salesman class but he couldnt last his overstrained nerves just couldnt stand the punishment and then he began to brace them up at first it was a tot after work then it was a tot in the morning before he started and another after he had finished- then it was a tot whenever he could get one and now he is just one of the lost generation one of those we appeal for funds to help on poppy day the next man i stopped was a curly headed devil may care artillery man twenty years ago he was banging away then and he is still hang ing away now he too is only in his early forties but he is manager of a bank and he is happy and healthy and just the same as ever he is one of the lucky ones he went over as a buck private and he came back the same way he admitted he had been twice in the clink for lifting what didnt belong to him when he was in the army he took things as they came and didnt fuss or worry and today he is master over men honest and respected and happy what is more he makes it a rule every day of his life to go out of his way and try and help any ot the old gang that appeal to him twenty years after to some time has been kind to others unkind even brutal but we must never forget what we owe to one and all who served during the last war it was the memory of what they went through which recently aroused public opinion throughout theword and caused rulers to pause before resorting to warfare to settle their differences we must not forget that these returned men gave the vfit that they had and it is up to those who have and are in a position to help wshow their gratitude tocnose who have not remembrance day approaches prayers and goodx works without charity win avail us noth ing this is no time to be the stern judge this is the time to be grate ful and generous we reap the profit of their loss for peace resulted from their cross they fought and died that we might live in fond remembrance let us give generously written for the provincial poppy
