georgetown herald rumbhod by hmm nowtpep umrmd 22 min strmt south georgetown ontario w c mihn publuw thursday april 20th 1967 editorial comment centennial cleanup in centennial year there f oxtra tm- s for cansdtant to put their best foot ard for tourists who will be flocking to country for the many extra attractions this special year one thing which doesnt cost anything wept a few aching muscles is a spring dunup of their property and a continuing ffort each week to keep the grounds of your home and the streets of your towrf a beau ty spot we must acknowledge that humans r by nature the sloppiest untidiest forms of animal life while most animals attempt to cover their garbage we go merrily on deleting the loveliness which nature has bestowed on us whether it be with a tangle of highway signs an unsightly buil ding or a litter of paper and refuse as we moke our cigarettes drink our pop and at our chocolate bars we allow weeds to grow in profusion in our lawns forget to tnm the boulevards won if wa do tend the grass within our pro perty boundary put out our garbage pails without proper precautions to see that the confusing problem sundays television coverage of ralph cowan s appearance at a quebec university to air his views on bi lingua i ism and french english relations proved to have all the elements necessary to win an academy ward the outspoken toronto m p has been widely quoted in his criticism of the govern ment for politicking in its relationships with quebec the fact that he himself is a mem ber of the ruling government makes this good news copy usually it is the opposi tten party which did the same thing itself which does the current criticizing unfortunately while much of what mr cowan says li true his appearance in que bec plays into the hands of a small but ard nt group of separatists who would have their own country within a country and point to mr cowan as an example of how alt other canadians are thinking such is not the case of course not many nonfrench canadians are interested in taking away any rights granted quebec under the bna act or are disturbed bout two official languages in that prov ince letters always welcome refuse stays there until the collector can de spatch it then leave the pails outside for days instead of putting them away as soon as possible afterwards we deface public washroom walls with obscenities post advertising bills at ran dom and never remove them after the ev ent is over deface road signs and gener all act like ill mannered slobs at the same time we profess to admire beauty in all ts forms womanhood paint ings and sculpture landscapes and seaside we criticize the housewife who hasn t a spotless home want our food served in only the cleanest of dishes won t appear in pub lic in soiled clothing spend plenty of time washing our cars we dont expect to change the world with one little editorial but if even one per son reads this resolves to put their garbage in the proper place to keep their lawns and boulevards cut and free of weeds and to build georgetown a reputation for neat ness we won t have written in vain that s one of the best centennial proiects we can think of talejhg about escalation what we are interested in is that nat tonally we must pull together as a nation allowing the provinces unsdiction over re gional matters while retaining national af fairs for our central government at the same time ontario must be coi cerned particularly about the spread of bi culturism into a province which for genera tions has considered one language ade quale and we must keep a watchful eye that our federal civil service goes no further in being a twin language affair which is tend ing more and more to discriminate against canadians who speak only english in re quiring a knowledge of both languages to obtain a government post one thing for which we must credit mr cowan is that he is saying things which need to be said albeit it is crudely and with bigotry perhaps he will stir moderate que bee residents into fighting the separatist bat tie themselves and perhaps ontario will start waking up too to the fact that we are advancing towards a costly and unnecessary system of two official languages sugar and spice by bill smiley ul thank god its over we hae jurt fone through th tait time that i might the most relentless winter iburt into ong her are

mail bag column of the herald should be one of the best features of a weekly paper lately there has been an upswing in 1h number of letters from readers expres sing opinions on topical matters there have been a number unfortun ately which could not be printed some be cause controversial material was too specific against an individual some because the writer did not indude his name and address for publication for the benefit of those who wish to state their views in print these are rules which the herald must have but there are sijjivi that hit annual twoda phinomn n known in this cuuntrj a spring is almost upon us and it is with considerable satisfictmn that i look back and hncer al the blizzard on march 21st lou ghinglj known as the first da of spring and those 15below temperatures just before as tor i c made it again 1 ike many canadians 1 im in a state of suicidal depression in the middle of march but iiiosl good old signs of spring calih me just hrforc i plummet nil the pit

thin the first raucous cull of a crow the flowers do not txactlj coinc popping out paper is equally guilty of the offense bylbut those hardy annuals the reproducing statements of an individual p t rt thcir we also require that a name and ad dress be printed with the letter for the writer is editorializing ust as we are and we feel that if one has a strong enough op inion to compose a letter he should not want to hide behind a pseudonym we hope readers will keep in mind that a weekly newspaper is anxious to be a public forum which reports ideas of its readers in addition to the community news keep those letters coming we do not agree to print any tetter submitted for if it contains libel the news there s a hole in my boot in im tit st rubber boot hut i don t gut a hoot can t it s

escarpment which was published in the herald last week roups like these hae always held m highest esteem and it is with incredulity that i read of the ontario naturalists aim to develop the lscarpment for such activities as hunting ski ing and swimming if that is to be the case things had better be left the way they arc be cause nothing will distroy a nat ural habitat as surely is develo ping it to accommodate organiz ed swimming and skiing equally would the encouragement of hunting in a natural preserve make short shrift with the very nature of the area i still have hope that the on
