canadian weekly newspapers associations and uie ontario quobc division of fhc owna- tlrife editors corner history in street names a request by residents of factory street to change the name of that street makes ui think again of doing some historical research into local street names for instance wheredid factory street itself get its name and where did market street originate college view chapel ewing murdock to mention but a few most georgetown streets bear christian names such as edith john charles william sarah- james etc undoubted ly these were names of prominent early residents while others such asking queen and victoria are selfex planatory any help which readers could give in sup plying information about local street names would be appreciated and if it can be obtained we shall use it in future editorials while on the surface the changing of a street name might seem a simple thing it would be relatively costly both for the town and the property owners on the street it would entail changing all private and public records town maps etc and the legal expenses in volved might make it an expinsive proposition mow- ever if street residents arc all in favour of a name change we think council should give consideration to their request lew of our local names have ahy glam our and historical significance is soon lost when christian names rather than surnames arc used old families like the barbers tor instance whose roots go deep in local history should have the family name per petuated in a street name pot pourri while sauntering down torontos elizabeth street during a business trip last week we bumped into george chong wellknown in town as the former proprietor of the georgetown cafe george recently returned from a trip to china and is working in the city his

road to stewarltown have been patched up by the township and the hill into the village now has its former smoothness procrastination has kept up from writing a letter which should have been written two years ago it will be an appeal to the de partment of highways to cprrect a traffic hazard on the road which runs from silvercreek through to the or- angevillearthur highway his road closses two high ways and in both cases the stop signsare placed dir ectly on the highway giving a motorist no chance at all to stop when he is driving at the legal speed maximum- a few dollars spent in moving the signs back the proper distance from the highway may someday save a life its a quiet old town this week with the three major industries arildosed lown- for holidays as well as some of the
