georgetown herald a thomson newspapers tlnhtid fubucation serving the communities of georgetown glen a1lllams norvel umehouse hornby stewarttown balllnafad aihgrove terra cotta page 4 thursday april 20th 1961 editorial comment the future will benefit a council proposal to allocate funds for ii tree planting program in town will bring approval of residents who realize that trees i one of natures best attributes for a nmunity many many years ago a local group planted the small trees which now maest- ally tower in the older parts of town y have made queen street for one a pwer of beauty and the park district and highway have been made more attractive iby handsome elms and maples jnthoseyearsjhemen responsible ould not forsee what progress might do to heir plans as traffic increased highway improvements called for one after another f these beautiful trees to fall to the woods- ttans axe and nature herself took o toll its some of the giants lived their natural life and fell prey to disease and old age it takes half a century for a trep to reach maturity and each year that a dead tree is not replaced can deprive another generation of the beauty which those thoughful folk at the century s turn left to us we can t start too soon to keep geor getown beautiful with trees and we com- mend council for taking this forward step 4 in conjunction with the horticultural soc lety at the same time we hope it will encourage residents to plant their own trees on their property- the newer sobdtvtskms need the shade and beauty which trees can bring and the older districts must replace those which die or eventually become bar ren school to community hall we have to reach the checkout counter some time foresight of members of terra cotta club in purchasing the old s s 3 ichool house for a community hall is to be mended the little red schoolhouse is a fast llsappearing thing in this part of ontario there is no better use that can be made on to keep such a building as a commun- ity centre which as the school did before ill serve at a focal point tor rural life m iti disfnct the chlnguacousy school is a relat newbuildmg and will well serve the the people in terra cotta and union districts elsewhere we see schools converted itnio houses while others cannot econom c ally be used for anything and must be razed there will be tears shed for the days when the one room school was a fixture of ontario countryside one cannot du kpute that many of our country s most distm a cheap commodity perhaps there w ii be some protests iwhen one of these days ratepayers receive an increased water bill in their mail but we for one will not protest too much because we feel that water is one f the cheapest commodities today and one which gives full value for our present dollar and a half a month and proposed double rate contrast what one ges from an un i limited supply of water w rh any other presentday purchase and thankful that it costs so i ttle elei en tar guished citizens received thei education in a country school but one cannot be sure of an argurr enl that this meant th were complete y good for who can tell to wnat he gnts sucn men might have risen had they had the advantages of instruction in a larger school the trend to consolidated schools is 3 feature of today s better transport on better teachers salaries and need tor a more varied education even were we o ding to the country school it is douotijl if today one could f teachers who would make teach eight grades stoke play as prominent a part as those ladies and decades ago one can feel nostalg c aoout

placidity at our place a shadow has crept across the little pale sun that bhone how ever dimly on our household hot words and cdld looks are the colors of the day it mmi ilk a little thing but ifi making me depressed irritable moody sultan and generally irascible perhaps if i get it off my chest in this spec ill feel batter briefly mr wife is now handling our finances in the old happy carefree days in the newspaper business i handled the family funds with no stress no strain no tension i used to pick up the mail each morning if there were any bills i stuck them in my hip pocket unopened after a week or two id empty my pocket into a drawer at the office every month or so id look them over and pay a few of the more urgent de mand i ran contra accounts with sugar and spice by bill smile and things of that sort there was never croia word about money there wu never much money either but that didnt seem to matter now we seldom talk about anything else i come home from school now haul out m cold one and sit down for friendly chat five minutes later then an bills end receipt all over th kitchen table im defending my4 former monetary policy like deposed minister of finance and she attacking it as more i lessly as th auditorgeneral i dont quite know how it icl happened but since we cajne l here and i went on a regular salary the old girl has taken uv er the pursestrings p haps it s because the mail now comes to tht house at any rate the paya the bills end does the banking we i have also acquired somehow j monstrosity called a joint ec- w count as nearly as i can learn rtj i
