georgetown herald publfetmd by horn nawspapw limited 22 main street south georgetown ontario w c luehn publww thursday october 26th 1967 editorial comment close election halton easts results in the provincial lection were among the closest at lime of writing progressiveconser vative jim snow holds the halton east seat by a scant 161 maonty and here have been rumours that the liberal candidate nay ask for a recount the ndp also had a large upsweep in popularity indicating that they will be a force to be reckoned with in future halton east is one of those ridings which does not seem to follow the same political trend in national and federal pol hies we have had a liberal m p in otla wa and a pc at queen s park for several years apparently party loyalties are split when it comes to the two levels of politics and rightly so we think party politics play no part at alt in municipal affairs for ndp candidate william gillies is an oakville councillor perhaps we are heading eventually to a breakdown of the party system altogeth sorry to lose announced removal of the plax plant 1o burlington next year is an industrial blow to georgetown much to be regretted the firm because of economics has decided to locate closer to some of its mam customers and will have a transportation advantage impossible to attain here at present coming during a year in wh ch geor getown s industrial picture has been much brighter there was a general air of gloom when the company announced its plans it indicates that a town must be con itantly on its toes looking for new loca tions never content to rest on its laurels nd assume that things will always be th way they are in our quarter century in lown we can look back and prove our point of indus tries which were her then only the two exciting friday friday the 13th was far from an un lucky day in georgetown to the contrary the town gained one cfaim to fame when a national tv show came to town and took over mam street for the day filming a segment of the quen in durgens m p show it will be televised ometimejn the coming year town people had a heyday as they watched the show as it progressed down main street filming started at knox church in the morning and the balance of the day was spent in the central block using the mcgibbon hotel as a focal point for the shooting until the herald appeared with the story there were many who were st 11 puzzling the name change for in place of the usual sign tha hotel boasted a brand new falls hotel sign er when people will vote for a man rather than a party if such can be the case in a municipality it should be theoretically pos sible for this to happen at the provincial or federal leve yet it could lead to chaos with too many individual opinions and no central clearing house to keep the wheels of government moving smoothly perhaps the happiest situation would be to have aspiring politicians study for the ob and pass tests to become eligible to seek office this would ensure at least a basic training in what has become a high ly specialized fiefd we listened to an american talk show recently where a participant was concer ned that a man could become president purely on his tv personality with no train ing and no other capabilities for the ob the speaker said he thought the ancient greeks has a better system dividing the populace into categories one of the most

stitution no single level of gov ernment has control over all the matters in which consumers are interested for example the federal government has just made regulations that all banks must give to the borrower of money the total charges inter est and any other charges that the borrower will have to re pay there are also many areas in which both the federal and provincial governments have control in closely related fields in the field of food and drugs for example most provinces hae regulations concerning milk and farm produce and ov er the retail sale of food and drugs while the federal govern ment has control over the man ufacturing importing and distrl button of drugs the goals of the depart mcnl of corporate and consum er affairs may be summarized as follow 5 1 full protection for the consumer against fraud decep tion and unfair trade practices maximum standards of qualit safety and protection m 1 the services and goods bought 3 provision of full and accur ate information on which
