Georgetown Herald A Division of Homo Newspaper Company 22 Main Street South Georgetown Ontario WALTER C Publisher ffORGETOWN HERALD THURSDAY MAY 11 1972 EDITORIAL COMMENT Ms Is Here Customers at one of our batiks will notice that Womens Lib has caught the fancy of the T D advertising department The newest staff member is not Miss Oprica but Ms Opnca on the identification card at her tellers wicket And in today mail a woman writing from an advertising agency uses the latest terminology in signing her letter We are not particularly opposed to the new word Perhaps it has been wrong all these years to keep a mans marital status secret with Mr while women have been clearly identified Peculiarly while we have never heard a man complain about the use of Ms it has not found favour with some women We have heard more than one who it and doesnt want to change whether she is Miss or Mrs American society and dont want too big a change Theres no percentage in becoming so equal that they will take on unpleasant jobs now shouldered by men If Ms becomes too common it may be women themselves who will clamour for a reversal Honour For A Neighbour It was a pleasure to record that neighbouring publisher David Dills has been chosen citizen of the year by Acton Chamber of Commerce When we first came to Georgetown young and inexperienced newspaper work his father was a good friend always willing to assist David and his brother Jim in Milton have continued this Rather than the business rivalry which can exist when publishers vie for readership and printing orders we have honoured each others territory It has been a mutually beneficial arrangement one which from our standpoint will endure as long as we have a share in managing the Herald Mr Dills has been active in his home community particularly in scouting And he lias turned out a welledited beautifully reproduced weekly newspaper which has won many prizes and is considered one of the best in the province In a wider field he has been president of the Ontario Weekly Newspaper Association and a director of the national association devoting much of his leisure time to the greater good of his profession His honour is well deserved Childs Game Centuries Old Watching some youngsters at the old game of Statues one day we wondered how games persist and where they had their origin As if in answer a reader brought this item from a British newspaper which gives the origin of what they call Ring a Ring a Roses known Canada as Ring Around a RING A RING A The old English childrens rhyme The ring of roses was the first dreaded symptom of the Great Plague of 1348 being a rash bright red spots about the body of the person infected The pocket full of posies was the herbs the poor people had gathered the fields to fight the plague The was the tough that went with the plague The all fall down was the collapse of tht victim and death A moving tribute to the genius of children imagination and playinstinct even under con of such horror Georgetowns History is Contained in Street Names Main Street South Georgetown Ontario The Editor The Georgetown Herald Main Street South Georgetown Ontario
