georgetown herald a thomson newspapers limited publication sorvlng the communltias of gaorgatown glan williams frorvol umohouso hornby stawarttown balllnafad ashgrova terra cotta thursday july 6th 1961 editorial comment were for it i downtown georgetqwn i in the midst of a facelifting and work is proceeding on repair of sewer and water lines prior to antire resurfacing of the street in the main lousiness section the controversy over centre street lights which has strong proponents both for and against seems to be over and time will now tell whether centre lights will te a permanent installation or will prove to be the hazard which opponents think an important idea for the future is the vhlon of service roads and parking behind the four mom street blocks and there have been many earnest discussions between a committee of merchants and the town cou i cil on how this can be accomplished the possibility is a real one that such a plan can be accomplished and at present properties are being surveyed with th s eventual plan in view no public discussion has been held in council but it is more than ust an idea and when plans are more developed we hope vision of the future georgetown counnl has intimated tnaf it might be considering fluoridation of trie town s water supply at a- future date the sooner the better we say addition of fluoride by such commun ities as brantford has for a long time been the whipping boy of such powerful person alities as gordon smcla r who has blasted it repeatedly in newspaper columns and radio broadcasts despite overwhelm ng evidence that it can arrest tooth decay witn out any harmful effects whatsoever recent prov nc al leg slation acknov rjedges this but leaves ine dec s on up to each munic palny the public will become informed by pub licity emineting from council meetings meanwhile it is nice to conjecture on the future and pleasant to think about a business section with ample parking rear entrances to stores and an uncluttered traf fie artery through the centre change ts not all pleasant of course and there will be a tear shed for the old days when saturday night was a meeting place downtown for the whole community there were no meters then no two hour parking even and the first to worm their cax mto a parking space had it for tne n ght and many were the folk wno nstead of shopping used the r car as a
