georgetown herald pw ty hmm hetw limited 92 main strmt south gtorgvtowrt ontario wfr thursday april 13th 1967 editorial comment new street names suggestion that the main highway through town b rtmsmed from its present quelph street fc a pood one and the idee f a naming compttttlon m one councillor proposed last week is the best way to hit on 9 proper nam for one of the town s main thoroughfares of equal importance if council is to proceed with this would be to rename a cou ple of other town streets which cause con fusion to the public and are particularly frying to groups like the fire department end ambulance service we refer to victoria st and victoria ave delrex blvd north and south and the long thoroughfare which starts out as young st becomes mill water and john in turn and then turns into john st east fter a blocks jog through the rail way culvert as mcnabb st there is always the danger that in the xcitement of an emergency valuable min utes can be lost by heading to the wrong ttreet when a simple name change would overcome this possibility one important factor in renaming any streets is to try to tm this in with tome of georgetowns history looking back wecan think of river drive a most ordinary name which could have been called old mill road to perpetuate one of georgetowns earliest industries the old tower mill victoria crescent created on land which had been in the dayfoot name for genera tions could equally well have been called dayfoot dnve shelley keats and byron streets could better have been named for some of geor getowns outstanding citizens of past and present mary and henry sts have no local connotation and contribute nothing to the towns future history perhaps the guelph st idea might lead to a complete survey of the town s street names retaining those based on local or world history and renaming those which have none keep museum where it is xtc3esibritbecbkelu3dief attempts by helton conservation auth ority to move the county museum at kelso have so far met with no success lets hope that this foolish idea will continue to be blocked by county council the museum board a nonresidents of the county in gener- i trere is no more surtableiocation for a museum than the present one as one who s interested and has visi ted many of our ontario museums we can ay without fear of successful contradiction fhat the setting in an old barn with the natural beauty of the escarpment as a frame it superior to any we have seen a move to any other building would reduce the in terest of the exhibits themselves as well at need traffic light a traffic light at the dangerous maple avenue highway intersection is long over due every days delay increases the chance of a fatality at a corner where several mot orists have already come to grief and where the incidence of both personal and property damage iseachmg alarming proportions so far a maority of accidents have occurred when highway motorists have col lided with one or other of the traffic island warning flashers equal danger exists particularly at removing the fine combination of sightsee ing end outdoor picknicklng now available it kelso a main reason the conservationists would make the move is that they do not agree that a museum and a recreation area go together nothing could be further from the facts what better family excursion than a trip to view some of the countys past fol lowed by a swim in the kelso pool and a picnic supper in one of nature s most super ior settings lets fight tooth and nail to keep hal- ton s museum where it is in years to come h will be one of the county s most valuable assets times when highway traffic is at a maxt mum that some mtrep d motorist will ven ture out onto the highway from maple be come panicky and cause a highway motor 1st to swerve because of the width of the highway it has become even more danger ous than the john street intersection where traffic lights were finally installed over ob jections of the dept of highways council should immediately ask a traf fie survey at the corner and press for fast correction of a situation which can only lead to more and more grief in future sugar and spice by

op tha spec ial gmmlttee on drug coats and price was tabled in the house of commons on 3rd april 1967 i thought my constltuenta would be interested to know the the conclusions of thle committee and in this weoki column will deal with the conclusion of the drue committee which are as follows 1 that the price of drugs in canada is at least higher than it need be sz that no significant change bas taken place in the drug cost structure since the rec ommendations of the hall commission which were prl marlly based on the recom mendauons of the restrictive trade practices commission 3 that there exists no single method nor simple approach which can be taken to reduce tbe price of drugs to the con turner and it is therefore ne cessary to present a series of recommendations to effect this purpose 4 that since canadians are paying a significant portion of the cost of international pharmaceutical research more of this research should be done in canada by the pharmaceutical industry 5 that the medical profession is responsible for tbe pre scribing of most drugs and for these committee recotn mendations to be fully effec tive the medical profeasion must be fully assured of the safety of all drugs by the food and drug directorate 6 that the implementation of the recommendations oould lessen marketing and prom otlonal expenses and reduce excessive profits 7 that the implementation of the recommendationa could alter in some reapoots the form of the drug industry u it exists today removing in efficiencies in the industry and increasing competition 8 that in anticipation of nat ional and provincial welfare programmes or the further development of other forma of health services it is of paramount importance that legislation be introduced at thv earliest practical date to implement the recommenda uona of this committee in my next column i will deal with the recom mendations to parliament of this committee georgetown herald published by hem newspapers
