x t georgetown herald pnblmmd by hon nowsfupers umkwol 2mllnstrmt georgetown ontario w c 1khn mmvr page 4 thursday february 24th 1966 editorial comment one government that cares georgetowns holdtheiina tax rate ind tight budget will not meet general ap proval among ratepayers we have been brainwashed for so long by senior governments who promise the sky ther pay for it out of our pockets after the election that we have almost lost the idea of paying for what wft can afford end waiting for some things until we have a dollar or two ahead credit buying a very good thing when icept in perspective has been distorted to the point where even companies operated by the crown advertise go now pay later and encourage us to take that trip while were young and spend the years af ter paying for it we expect higher old age pensions bigger baby bonuses super highways free radio and television entertainment subsid ies for this that and the other and when someone pulls the curtain it is only human nature to protest we have reached the stage whefef n ante ministers publicly proclaim how good they are because they only have so many i mans eternal dream that brotherhood week feb 20 to 27 i should need to be held at all is a sad re flection on the basic prejudices of human beings most people talk a lot about the broth ierhood of man and one of the world s ma jor religions is founded on this utopia but how few use it as a guide to daily living animosities and preudices continue to drive wedges between people barriers of race religion and nationality are everpres ent and more dangerous than the out spoken b gots are those who subtly slander iheir fellowman scouts on parade georgetown residents have an oppor tunity this saturday to see the many as pacts of scouting on display in the town park the boy scout movement has been of enormous benefit to georgetown dormant for some years it wavrev v fifteen years ago by a group of an3 women with rev john smith i then minister of st john s united spear heading the rebirth it has been nothing but successful since and hundreds of young people have billion dollars of a deficit where a prime minister can promise a city several million dollars for an ice arena where we pour money into an expo show in montreal as if it poured out of our water tap so it s refreshing to find one govern ment at the grass roots which believes peo ple should be saved from their own folly we arent any happier with some of its features than the next person but if we have to do without some extra policemen stall improvements in bridge took a little harder for a cheaper solution to a crowded municipal building do without a lighted ball park for another year or two in the interests of smooth sa i ing we re for it a municipality like a person has to cut its cloth to fit if it doesnt those who remember the hungry th rttes know well that it s possible for a town to bankrupt tt self too maybe queen s park and ottawa could use some of our local politicians to do some unpopular but necessary things like not spending money which people cant afford to give how often have we heard a man say about another he s a nice guy even if he is a fill in applicable word we like to think georgetown is a town where prejudice is nonexistent it isnt true we have probably less open pre judice than the majority of communit es but scratch the surface and it s there we can use brotherhood week too tc remind us that we as humans are imper feet and tike a new year s resolution we can reaffirm our desire to aspire to the utopia we may never qu te reach but always on the horizon benefitted in mind and body through mem bership in one of the local troops adults too have become better people by devoting their efforts to the rewarding job of d rect ing youngsters along this bright path no parent whose boy is has been or w i be a scout should miss visiting the park on saturday you will be amply warded in seeing just how extensive the movement has become and at the same time you will be showing men and women who devote a good share of their le sure as leaders that you appreciate this harley to halton weekly observations by dr harry harley mp for halton since my last column the house of commons has spent all its time discussing the estimates r the dept of transport the general debate on these esttaa ates has finally passed and we are moving to an itemtoitem study of these estimates at this rate the 19651966 estimates will continue to be debated for some weeks to conle the debates have again discussed the possible moving of channel 3 from bame to tor onto fio new factors have been thought out and we still swaitl a report from the dept of j transport concerning possible interference with channels 2 and 4 from the us which are widely followed in the toronto area including halton one of aba other factors brought out in tbe debate is the control of the various news media newspap- era radio and tv passing anore and morainlo the control of fewer and fewer people it certainly can be undesirable to have our news media con trolled by a few people who could conceivably use such me dia to their own great advan cage this is a factor whjoh will nave to be discussed and con trolled in some manner n addition the debate baen very critical of the i in particular we have 1 a great deal of the prob- of grain handling and i shipping canada has of sold a great deal outside of canada andj ac of the problems is tbe mo ving of this wheat to the ship ping ports the western mem i bers of parliament have been very critical of the handling of wheat and the discontinuing of the transcanada dominion train by the cpr the question was raised in the house of cotnnnns the other day concerning who has the right to comment after the government makes a statement when motions are called at the opening of parliament each day the custom in the past has been to have one state ment from a spokesman from each of the recognized parties in the house of commons in 1963 this was no particular pro blem as there were three recog mzed parties in opposition in the house of commons conservatives the social cre dit and the ndp all of these had more than 12 members which gives their respective par ty an extra 4000 per year in salary after this election how ever the credittstes were redu ced to 8 in number the social credit to 5 and we now have 2 independent members of paflla ment therefore they do not qualify for the extra allowance but do they have the right to comment on motions the spea ker has taken this under con sideration and will render decision later on this matter the mail bag thoughts on georgetowns 1966 holdthelme budget 97 sargent road dear mr editor with the umost and deepest regret i must agree with coun dlloe- smith that georgetown wilt be standing still with the 68 1 council budget we have been- given the op portunity of criticizing other governments of canada witm the increase m sales gasoline and tobacco tax also a rumoured increase in income tax by the federal government other op- jportumties are tbeincrcase in bread and the coming increase in the cost of milk i where does the georgetown council as a government have the audacity to shirk their dul ies of adding to the pleasure of our citizens a big boo to mr hyde and his budget he sbould know that progress backwards or other wise conies before the wishes of the people also he must realize that our employers will only be too glad to give us a salary increase any time that we feel the financial burden is getting too heavy seed catalogue time

ordinarily the christian vir tues are easily spotted as the teeth in a hen who is drawing the old age pension but when nature g ves a fast rumble of laughter at the little fellows and cohapsestae
