Georgetown Herald A DIvlllon of Hem Newspapers Company Limited Main Strwt South Georgetown Ontario WAITER C THURSDAY JULY 23rd EDITORIAL COMMENT Police on the Spot An and loitering by law passed in Oakville is getting quite a play in the daily papers with the pros and cons sound ng off the squarely in the middle A policeman lot is not a happy one as an old saying goes damned if he does and damned If he doesnt it seems Apparently in Georgetown we have been having our own confrontation in a quieter way Georgetown has had a by law rrular to Oakvilles for several years now The Idea like most laws is not to persecute but to give the power to act when the necessity arises Though some will disagree we inter all laws in this way A speed limit does not mean that a policeman automatically lumps on every motorist iving a few miles faster He uses his udgn to determine whether the motorist is callously the law and is creating a hazard others is an even less exact type of thing to determne and surely cannot be so strictly enforced that a group f people cannot stop for a chat The by law was passed to stop unpleasant Incidents which can arise when such groups become a to other traffic Young people particularly will com plain when they are told by an officer to move on not new We grew up in a busy part of a large city and when a gang of young people gathered on a mam corner it was never long before a man in blue was breaking us up It was only years later that we understood why he was According to town off cials police nave been criticized by parents of young people who have been told to break up when they gather in commercial areas Surely a parent should real that this is not ndividual persecution of the r young sler but only a moans of keep ng George town the quiet untroubled town it has been and should continue to be Highest Qualifications What would a nation be like what would it be tike in a town without an trained police force For too long many people have tend to regard policemen as the r natural Well meaning but mothers sometimes use the threat I II call a policeman if you good to make htm behave It it any wonder that in later life the new adults reaction to a police man is fear rather than admiration and respect which it should be To our way of thinking a policeman should be one of the best educated best trained and highest paid man in the com His job calls for a high degree of athlct prowess lop phys and mental condition He should know human nature be trained In psychiatry and soc H salary scale and social status in a commun ty should be at least equal to that of a school teacher on of the al some years ago has one much to head towards This The Ontario police college has been a forward step Municipals with far ther thinking politicians and police tions to prod them are demanding more of the men they hire and paying wh U5tify higher requirements As citizens we can help by thinking ce next me we run afoul of the jaw Instead of cursing the officer who you thank h m for keeping you with the bounds of law yoJICY THE Our Instant Garden LOW PROFILE IN THB MAIL Enforced Law For One How About Big Business CleanUp Day a Flop A clean up day earlier this month was hardly an outstanding success last year service clubs gave the day organized by Mayor a real boost And it was so successful that this year it was decided to enlist any of public who was interested to join in What happened For one reason or another the clubs Interest shrank Two Rotanans one Lion one fireman two teen girls and the Her ald editor were the sole participants They cleared a stretch of highway but other parts of town were left untouched In the heavy garbage department there was more luck Town workmen were busy day answering calls to haul away d scarded furniture and wh had accumulated in basements some of m ght well have found its way to vale property later on Another year we hope that the mayor will form a committee which will study ways to make this a really big day We there are hundreds of residents who with a little will get behind dean up campaign and make our town if only for one day a thing of beauty Best of all of course would be for all of us to resolve not to litter If parents and schools kept up a continuous gn a clean up day would not be necessary at all BARGAINS ATTRACTED BUYERS Who can resist bargain But It takes some looking and these shoppers are the best value they look at the goods GS Television had to offer last week sal At Georgetown Market Centra well pleased with Miulti this annual affair Street Dear Mr In the removal of the frame on Street near Road by the Mower and Mar inc a man has been deprived of his livelihood and a much service has been denied to the residents not only of Ge hut the surrounding rntnrj The removil of the building as required by council because the owner of the property had rebuilt the burnedout to larger than authorized by the building permit and for other possible reasons It was agreed by the owner that the frame building would be last nil but this to June of this year Demolition of building is under at the time of this writing Council exercised its right In ordering this However council has a by law on its books for many years now which if legally act pon would have forced an industry in this town to ha up an odor nuisance which caused property the area of this Industry to be seriously devalued Despite the attendance many at the tings protesting this It still exists Tins is In deflanci the law which should have been the subject of court pro- to have this mew clean up Did council take the neces sary action In this matter They did not Big business was and Is still involved but no ell In Georgetown has had he guts to place the matter before the courts As a result of this the residents ire still plagued by this unholy odor which is noticeable at certain times even the extreme of town Will council like action to do something drastic about this before the next election not all the taxpayers must elect a council pledged to take legal action to end this nuisance and for all Oh yes a little business ma was involved in the demolition of the that housed his small business up which he was dependent for a living He had no wealth or extent of bus iness to get him the considers tlon meted out to the big In dustry A pica to the Mayor on pure humanitarian failed to save the building on premise that there be violation by the owner of the property and In permitting the violation it was decreed that the frame building would have to be removed The mayor expressed his for the businessman be ing dispossessed of his place of business but said council had voted for its removal and It must be removed all dead In Georgetown I hate to think so but I will leave it to the public to Judge Has partial judgment been used In the cases enum erated in this letter What about it you taxpayers group Yours truly Ed Peters COLOUR PORTRAITS TO SIX LUCKY
