done by the red cross at home and overseas have been pointed out in the press it is per haps unnecessary for us to comment on the need for funds to carry on any one of the numerous projects undertaken by the society is in itself a shining example of how our donations can help our own lads in uniform and the suffering humanity of millions of war refugees blood plasma prisonerofwar parcels hospital sup plies food ships these are only some of the phases which the name red cross brings to mind each a ser vice which your money can help to maintain and in crease- georgetown has realized this in past campaigns and has done its fair share to put the national objective over the top lets keep up the good work and deter mine this time to give just a little more every extra dollar will be equalled a hundred times over in the sav ing of human life and the assuagement of human suf fering its a problem it seems to us that it is time for some serious planning in georgetown to meet an accommodation shortage which is reaching serious proportions for many of our citizens last week we learned of another case in point this time a soldiers wife and family who with the man of the house overseas will soon be forced to vacate their present premises and are absolutely un able to find living quarters elsewhere in town such a problem means that this good lady has been forced to broaden her search to other towns and cities and our v community stands to lose a good citizen who does not want to leave but has no other choice it is a problem for which we must confess this writer has no solution to suggest an unnatural de mand has boosted property values and caused an un precedented number of landlords to sell heir premises the government has passed legislation to make it as easy as possible for evicted tenants to find other lodg ings but at the same time has realized that the buyer if he intends to live in his new home has certain rights to his own property in most cases he has bought the house for the very fact that his own rented premises have been sold to another person and so the story goes larger centres have approached the housing problem by the establishment of a housing registry where demand and supply can be correlated and some of the housing problems ironed out perhaps it would be feasible for georgetown to try something like this in an effort to solve the problem vlos certainly we arc the losers when respected and useful citizens are forced to leave town for another locality simply because thev have exhausted everv possibility of finding living quarters

miss wa ter how big should a town be what is the ideal size for a town a town ought to be big enough so that a far mer can find a place to park his car unless farmers and their wives can bring in the new wealth out of the soil and take home the goods the new wealth earns there cant be many towns a town ought to be big ehough that a friendly dog can run without a leash when every dog must be tied to the end of a string and none but his owner knows his name then the place is too small a town ought to be big enough so that a green yard can be around every house when there are no yards where children can play where a man and a wo man can plant a rose bush and set their feet upon the natural earth too little room is left for people to live as normal human beings should a town ought to be big enough that rows of trees can line the streets when a place gets too small that the trees have to be cut down and only stone and brick and concrete and stell are allowed little beau ty remains except that which is artificial and imprison- a town ought to be big enough so that a man can say goodmorning to those he meets when he walks to the post office and big enough so that he can stop to talk with a friend if he chooses without being jostled on the sidewalk a town ought to be big enough so that every one will rejoice when a new baby is born or when good fortune or a victory comes to anyone who lives there and big enough that when a funeral procession goes by there will be people to ask who passed on a town ought to be big enough that a person can have as many friends as he deserves to have it ought to be big enough for laughter to be heard and for a smile to be seen there are we believe a great many bigenough towns in our country pathfinder magazine poor old britain
