the recent elections halton coun ty is in the odd position of voting both conservative and liberal at the same time we interpret this is a personal tribute to our two members stan hall and hughes cleaver whose records of service were such that a majority of public opinion in the county felt that halton would be best represented in the ontario and federal houses by returning them to office it was almost a foregone conclusion that mr hall would continue to sit at queens park the odds were definitely in his favour as a member of a party whose star was in the ascendency in ontario as a well- known and successful farmer with two years experience in the legislature and with relatively weak opposition candidates from the other parties in he week following mr halls reelection there must have been some anxious moments for mr cleaver and his supporters as they realized that his chance for election rested on how strong his personal following was in a riding which had shown that it was leaning to progressiveconservatism he was also faced with a strong opposition- candidate in mr allan nicholson who though a newcomer to politics was not unfamliar to the electors as a successful lumberman and a former wartime timber controller that mr cleaver is popu lar in halton was conclusively evident when a deficit of 1 07 1 on june 4th was transformed into a credit of 668 for the liberals a week later evidence that his ef forts at ottawa during the past ten years have not been unappreciated by the electors the case for town planning the need for town planning in georgetown has never been more clearly indicated than in the present difficulties between king street residents and the man agement of georgetown clay products regarding the smoke nuisance from the factory if in the paat there had been some attempt to separate industrial and resi dential areas such problems would never have arisen and if future disputes of a similar nature are to be avoided it is necessary for georgetown to do some practical planning now a step which should be immediately considered is a zoning bylaw to protect homeowners and pros pective builders in residential districts against the erec tion of undesirable buildings which will lower their pro- perty values it is perhaps loo latetowmetiyatuatona which already exist but it is most cetrainly not too late to prevent such situations in the future cooperation gets results scarcely had the announcement been made of the lifting of thehan on hours of sale for gas and mo tor oil than the eight georgetown garages got together and drew up a mutuallysatisfactory plan which will provide a maximum of public service and a minimum number of working hours for the establishments when cooperation such as this exists there is no need for legislating bylaws and it is a sign that local garagemen realize the value of such co operation at the present the hours of sale stand at 7 am to 7 pm with all garages open saturday nights and a ro tation system for sunday service changes in this may be made from time tp time as the system operates but it is expected that such changes will be minor and that the present schedule will prove itself the best a vacation this summer at this time of year thoughts are turned to summer vacations and your editor and herald staff are no exceptions this year for the first time we have decided to close down completely for a week turn the key in the lock and forget about things for a few days it is a custom whtctwrie majority of weekly newspapers have followed for many years and experiments with a staggered system of holidays which leaves us short- handed for a month or more has convinced us that the complete closeup is much more satisfactory a definite holiday dnte has not yet been set but as soon as known it will be announced in ordrtr that our customers may not be left in need for necessary print ing or advance advertising the sugar situation the problem of how to provide mankind with tfnough sugar pops up from time to time in human his tory and usually some satisfactory solution is found napoleon offered a prize for the extraction of sugar from native products and sure enough one of his scien tists came through with the answer- sugar from beets more than a hundred years after napoleons time we over 100 junior farmers participate the annual achievement day tor halton junior

could use but it gives everyone enough for their basic needs so the united states great britain and canada divided up the available sugar supply and on a man-for- man basis canada was given 5 per cent of the world suply for her share now it has been urged that if we increased our beet sugar crop there would be plenty of sugar for all canadians but since we are pooling all our sugar on a shareandshare alike basis with the other countries such an increase would only give us a tiny amount per person more- something like 1150th of a pound per year at the most furthermore even if the labor was available for the sugar beet industry which it isnt in the large numbers necessary to increase production sub- tantially and we kept what we produced then our ex ports of can sugar would be cut down accordingly but cane sugar in many respects is a necessity the shortage of sugar is worldwide but with the problem being handled as carefully and fairly as it is we may be certain of one thing the amount of su gar allotted to each canadian is as much as can possibly be allowed at the present time after all we are all in it together nation by nation with our belts pulled in exactly the
