georgetown herald published by hem newspapers limited 22 main street s georgetown ontario w c b1ehn publisher thursday february 2nd 1967 editorial comment politics takes nerve reentry of walter gordon into tlie fed oral cabinet leaves us somewhat aghast ab out the nerve it takes to be a politician only a few years ago when mr gor don was finance minister he was caught in a situation which proved him either an inept financier or an inept politician or both he brought out a budget so unpopular that radical chariges were made within days leaving one with the conclusion that either he didn t know what he was talking about or jf he did he let political pressure over come his better ludgment anway in time mr gordon resigned his post and by all normal reasoning should htv retired to private life or to that great refuge of those who have given their all for the current party the senate instead he sat quietly on the back ben ches until the pendulum swung his way again and now is basking in the limelight welcomed back as a great canadian an ex ped on foreign affairs finance end what have you perhaps not so inept a politician after all at the same time another political figure is proving that canadians like their drama vith hollywood overtones fresh out of a minor scandal a side effect of the notorious gerda affair george hces is not only being wooed by adjoining p c ridings to be their federal candidate but is being given prominent mention a a possible leader of the p c party 1894 had worries today isn t the first time people have been concerned about the cost of schooling in 1894 the herald reported that the annual cost of the high school to the corpor atton was 1000 this will be a surprise to many the article says as it was feared that the addi tion of a fourth teacher would run the ex perue up at least a few hundred dollars the item concludes with some flatter too rng remarks the high school is certainly one of the best investments the town has made in the last ten years it has done well and is doing belter let nothing be done to impair its efficiency and it will continue to prosper the clipping submitted to us by tho mas melanson 12 george st was found in a partition

fifteen years ago school tea chers reaped most of their rewards in re fleeted glory of successful studenls they hid taught their pay was small m re fatfomhip to other jobs requir ng ihe same education although there was tome compensation in longer holidays od security and a small pension plan the pendulum began to swing after the war when school boardj began on their own to realize that teachers should com mand larger salaries those that didn t soon found themselves dealing w th an increas tngly powerful teachers federation which today has reached epic proportions bolstered by the fact that there is n continuing shortage of personnel part cut erly at the high school level and wiih an apparently insatiable hunger for more and more money teacher are in the news ev airy yarai4hey ask and

did not submit to his charms and did not vote for him worse they did actualfj dare to cam palgn against htm this sorry ibu of affairs can be easily changed since hli admlmstra tion already gave us an anti loitering law we might soon have an antieampaigning law but at present ours is still a democratic country the mayor of a town is sttli supposed to be the servant of the people since the library is one of the most widely used public services in this town almost 8 000 peo pie use its facilties from a po pulation of around 12000 the people can demand that the and cou look at the needi of this with an unprejudiced eye if the mayor thinks he can deal nippantrt with those real needs he wist not be surprised if the election nsulta five him tha answer he deserve his worship is using ven strong language indeed and i think we can demand that he will tell us now who ihis rot ten apple is if he is unable to do o vc should tell him once and for all lhat it is not his business to hand out marks
