georgetown always known as a hockey town is keeping up the standard this year with four teams playing home games on local ice as well as a juvenile loop which promises plenty of sport for the younger generation the local lome scots entry in the reserve army hockey loop opened proceedings last thursday night and provided the first local game of the season monday night brampton army camp had their first home game of the season while last night the norval- oeorgefcown combines who will provide bigseague aporttfor the fans were at home to victory aircraft this latter team is also using georgetown arena for their home games with guelph completing the three- team league all this adds up to a full use of the fine facili ties provided at georgetowns arena for winter sports and best of all is the fact that all the hockey will be strictly amateur and strictly local in other words the arena is being used exclusively for the young men of this district who play sports for the love of the game we think the public has an obligation to those who are keeping sport going in these war times it is to sup port these teams by attending as many games as pos sible for even an amateur team cannot function with out a certain degre of moral and financial support lets all boost hockey and keep up our towns reputation as a hockey town one section dissatisfied that county council has had more than its share of trouble this year in keeping the county roads cleared of snow is admitted byall in the grip of a real oldfashioned winter for several weeks when the jail of snow reached an allame high as far as we can remember the snowplow and its crew certainly had their work cut out for them theres no need for us to go into detail here about the difficulties a good many of our readers who were out driving in the storm know how the roads drifted in almost as soon as they were cleared and how even towtrucks which had come to their aid got stuck those of us who were on the inside looking out during that period thanked our lucky stars in spite of all the inconvenience however no case of real hardship due to blocked roads has come jo our notice perhaps we should have said had come to our notice for on receiving the erin advocate last week we read of one small section of the county which was not at all satisfied with the manner in which the county cleared its roads quoting directly from the advocate editor hulls states complaints are numerous as to the method employed in ploughing out the snow on the county road known as the seventh line it seems the welling ton county snow plow removes the snow on the south ern end of this road as far as ballinafad which is the k the progressive conservative association of the county of halton a county convention wiabe held at milton town hall on saturday afternoon january 20th at 200 1pm all members of the association are cordially invited to attend iloyd d dingle secretary important notice this meeting was originally set for january 13 but has been postponed to january 20th duncan mccallum president indary of ac cojfety tjfk portion n county fmjluanirf to no 7 ty ubgpeft plugged withflnowufitil ajl other i in halton are clear and eventually are opened viewpoint jsf halton authorities is obvious only a- few of their cfttzens use tmsfbad arkr they are obliged to wa1rnrrtrhthe more imp r are open but what about the absolutely essential traffic in that por tion of wellington north of ballinafad to at least the north boundary of erin township for instance last friday afternoon hours be hind schedule milk trucks were being loaded from far mers sleighs in the village the seventh line was open ed to ballinafad but the five lots south to no 7 high way were plugged with snow the plow hadnt been through the drivers were obliged to follow no 7 highway to rockwood north on tjiat county road to no- 24 highway and east io erin many miles out of their way and return by the same route some time late saturday the five lots from ballinafad to no 7 highway were finally opened it appears that each year those in authority in wellington and halton counties fail to get together on the question of keeping these five lots of road open until there is a fuss made about it the whole thing appears to us to be ridiculous childs play surely the authorities of halton county would be willing to pay wellington county the cost of keeping this road open and when wellington county plow is at ballinafad continue south to no 7 highway and return and thus keep the main artery open for such essential traffic as trucks and those who must travel to keep supplies moving in and out of the district however as we said before this is a small sec tion of the county and the solutionoffered in the ad vocate seems a very reasonable one to us in spite of the one corar laint we consider halton has done a re markably good job of keeping the roads open when we read of the complete traffic tieups in the city from a single snowstorm one can indeed appreciate the effi ciency of our rural municipal services may the good work continue the womens institutes throughout ontario have proved what wonderful work women in small towns and rural districts can accomplish when they organize their efforts for common aims in george town we have a very active branch and the herald cor respondents from surrounding districts keep us well- informed on the energetic womens institutes in the country for taking the lead in improvements and raising funds for worthy causes the institute ladies would bo hard to beat in ontario there are now 1 220 womens in stitutes with an aggregate membership of 34000 welded together by common programs and district con ventions at which progress during the year is reported and plans are laid for the coming year the womens institute has a definite influence on life in rural ontario that influence has been and is most beneficial may their good work continue and their organization keep expanding a saturday night club throughout canada and the united states there has been considerable alarm over the evergrow ing problem of demquency among our young people it is a problem that has invaded nearly every communi ty be it large or small even in georgetown parents and interested citizens have wondered about the best way to keep children and teenagers off main street at night in combatting this the curfew has been of some assistance to the night constable and at the pres ent moment skating and hockey in the arena are hold ing the interest of most young folk in town much as they have talked about it however few towns have actually taken the trouble to organize a supervised club of which all young people are invited to become members were very glad to see this be ing done in our neighbouring town of brampton a saturday night club sponsored by the lions club has been organized there for all young people between the ages of 5 and 30 permission to hold their dances and activities in the high school auditorium has been granted the idea has been en thusiastically received both by the boys and girls and their parents a membership fee has been set and the election of officers for 1945 will be held in the near future the opening night when there will be games and dancing is this saturday night we think brampton has the right idea and wish them every success with the club f r watson dm mvdjb
