Home Newspaper of Hills Cf Of If If HERALD Wednesday Novembers JB74 Page THIS HERALD Wednesday Novembers JB74 A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Main St South Georgetown Ontario PETER BROUWER Publisher BILL JOHNSTON Editor BOB GRAVES Circulation Manager PHONE Second Clan Mail Regit tr red The Herald wearing a new suit this week We hope you it We thought it was time to trade in the old one for one with a little more punch During the past few weeks weve slowly but surely made some changes in The Herald As always The Herald wants to be your friend She wants to share your joys and your sorrows and she wants to come and visit regularly And she doesnt want to wear out her welcome In fact she doesnt want vou to get so used to her that she becomes just part tne The Herald wants to be part of your family Thats why shes wearing a new suit this week And the suit will keep changing Sometimes itll have more buttons sometimes fewer sometimes it will have a low hemline sometimes maybe a little higher one or do we dare talk of a daring one The Herald has been the friend of many Georgetown and area families for a great many years And under the new suit is very much of the same good Herald Just ask some of the fellows who work in our backshop theyd recognize our girl in any suit Heck theyd recognize her without a suit All of which makes us wonder why we didnt tell you The Herald haB a new dress After all she IS a girl Orisshe And now for a cabinet meeting in the Halton Region We wonder whether the Queens Park Cabinet will ever have a meeting in Norval Now would be a good time The whole cabinet could discuss the School closing and related questions Its such a great opportunity for true understanding Between those who elect and those who govern All this comes to mind as a result of the news from Premier Bill Daviss office about a series of proposed cabinet meetings in 12 municipalities in Ontario However Halton Hills Oakville Burlington or any municipality in the of Halton is not on the list for the next while it seems according to the Queens Park announcement Places and dates of Cabinet meetings are as follows Kirkland Lake Nov Ottawa Dec 11 London Jan Oshawa Feb 12 Hamilton March 12 Kingston April Thunder Bay May KitchenerWaterloo June July 16 Peterborough Aug 13 Sault Ste Marie Sept 17 and Wetland Oct 15 Decision to hold a series of Cabinet meetings outside Queens Park was made following a successful meeting of the Executive Council in Hanover Aug At that time 20 briefs from local groups and residents were submitted to Cabinet Two Cabinet committees Resources Development and Social Development have met away from Queens Park on a number of occasions over the past two years Briefs have been received from local groups and discussions held on local issues The Resources Develop ment Cabinet committee has travelled to Dryden Smith Falls Timmins Kapuskasing and Kimberly The Social Development Cabinet committee has met in Windsor Fort Frances Kenora Red Lake and Sioux Lookout Purpose of the Cabinet meetings are to give local groups and associations an increased opportunity to present briefs to the Executive Council on subjects of special interest to residents of the area And now just give us a little warning Mr Davis and well get one helluva cabinet meeting underway in these parts Milk and cunning are good for you Theres a major sporting event coming up in Toronto for participants from all over the world and guess whos footing the bill Your friendly neighborhood dairy farmer at RR 2 and RR and RR-all-the- He wants people to be fit and run and jump and carry on in all manner of fine physical exercise You didnt believe farmers were so hot on the physical fitness thing Ask a few And if you do will you ever get a story about the Milk Marketing Board and all the great things it has done lately for the dairy farmer Take a drive out this weekend to some of the dairy people in Georgetown and area and youll get your answer The farmer might even tell you about how he and his whole family plan to show up for the big event asking for free admission tickets Milk is good for you And so is run ning And the Milk Marketing Board knows best Or does it For several weeks now weve dealt with the eggs mess remember Something somewhere tells us milk will be next Mature pipe before adding wire If you are one of those who travel regularly on the Sixth Line separating Peel and regions between Side Road and Terra Cotta you too must have wondered whats happening Several weeks ago came the Peel Roads Commission to do a major culvert job Nice job too They made a big mess as all roads commissions tend to do at first then dropped the big pipe and filled From the oldest One of the youngest and the oldest in Star Canada s Canada have got together rather have newspaper separated to add a new touch to The Herald Bill Johnston The Heralds new editor see announcement elsewhere in thiseditionf has joined us from Cobourg Ontario where he was the editor of The oldest weekly Bill at is one of Canadas youngest weekly newspaper editors We at The Herald a e glad hes with it in dumped loads of and hand- raked this stuff neatly and sowed grass seed so that next year all will say the Roads Commission has done it again and well Thats what happened And then a later along came some other group to put in a Bell telephone cable next to the big pipe and tore it again to all and residents of the area and ourselves wonder just what gives We probably dont understand the wisdom in letting a pipe mature in its buried stage before a wire is added Or is this the kind of thing you call an internal problem GUESS WHERE Call the Heralds new classified number before Friday and ask for Val the Heralds classified expert First correct answer will bring YEARS AGO US firm Come on down up and meet Wohn Ohnley purchases river land From he pail editions The Herald 10 YEARS AGO Steamer has an nounced he intends to run for

and Jon Hall A special added feature Moon Over Las Vegas glaring Anne end David Bruce This will be about a lot of little things that may not be important to you but are to me And since this is my corner please grin and bear it or turn to something like a column by Pierre or some other famous fellow After all how can little old me compete with those big guns So speaking of Monsieur Trudeau did you understand all the flak his column in last weeks paper brought Some Toronto commentators we all know there arc lots of those have taken the PM to task over his column and theyre saying he didnt write it himself but some peearefeller did and the column should have had his byline instead of Pierres own As if we didnt all know that already Im still not so sure the PM didnt write it himself One day last week I heard the prime minister discussing storytellingtime with Sacha that was on the Max Ferguson show and I was on my way from Georgetown to and Ill be darned if that didnt sound like the same fellow who wrote the column The point was that the PM was threatening his son with a mouth- wash if he didn stop calling story time tory time Oh well Something very major has happened in the Herald building on Main Street We now have an elevator Let me be quick to add that I realize this is not Georgetowns first elevator But it is unique Its probably Georgetowns smallest Its probably also the slowest in going up and before long will be the fastest in coming down The elevator is the size of about two 24- cases of Canadian is made of plywood and is powered by sheer muscle Next time youre in just ask Val our receptionist She has some very choice comments on this great invention of The Herald publisher Why an elevator that small Well before long it will be cold out side And we have this problem at our shop one half Is upstairs editorial and advertising and the other half is downstairs everything else and one half wants to keep in touch and send things down to the other half things like stones and advertisements and heads for stories and all that In itself that isnt a problem But were staring a huge winter in the face according to the Farmers Almanac and before the elevator the only way to get from up to down was to go outside to Main Street and walk from the black front door that says Court to the other front door that says Herald Now do you understand Just let me add that ours is probably the only newspaper in Ontario that has the law on the same floor as the news department Why in our upstairs hallway we even have a sign that is meant to discourage people from being too liberal with confetti Just a note the second day on the job here I was confronted by a lustmarried couple of teenagers just as I climbed up the stairs to my office By now youre probably more confused than ever So come on up sometime soon and observe What with anticonfetti signs and a real Georgetownbuilt elevator were going to call how can you miss Do our newspapers reflect our GERRY Did you catch the picture of our new Miss Canada whatever that means on he front page of the Toronto Star For those of you who might have missed it we hove another Canadian first Theres our Mlas Canada the most beautiful and talented girl In our beloved country with her hair perfectly wearing her crown and her tongue sticking out at the rest of us ugly Canadians But wait Im not finished Not only was hat the best picture the paper could come up with In the caption below they tell us that she is a speech writer for the Premier or Alberta Peter and shes broken her nose three times Do you get the connection Somewhere somehow Im missing something Now aside from the above Insult to Miss Canada whom Im sure looks much better with her tongue In her mouth where It should be and the Insult to the readers who have to look at It we can carry right on to the next piece Same page same paper A story on Ted Kennedy and the Mary Jo incident and the subsequent bugging of her friends by the the infamous Watergate That item came from Boston As a Canadian Im sick tired and fed up of reading American news such as the Kopechne incident over over again particularly on the front page of one of the largest Canadian newspapers Next Item same page same paper Police pounce on LSD discover Its Ovaltlne It Just so happens the Incident occurred In staying warm- Hills temperatures are going down Thermostats are going up But conserving healing fuel can cut air pollution as well as costs A recent list of suggestions in Good Housekeeping Magazine says that heating bills can be reduced by percent if weather stripping is put around windows and doors And if all cracks around windows doors and walls are sealed Insulation is critical Three to four inches of glass fiber insulation or its equivalent is recommended for exterior walls And six inches of the same is suggested for topfloor ceilings or attic floors The in sulation helps prevent loss of heat into an unhealed attic If the attic floor is unfinished you can roll out insulation bats or spread loose insulation material If the floor is finished someone experienced can raise a few floorboards and insulation can be blown in Installing weather stripping around loosely fitted attic doors is wise So is closing off all unused rooms And of course storm windows pay for themselves in fuel savings Many doctors recommend living with the thermostat as low as is comfortably possible for health And for savings Each degree above a recommended setting for most people requires three percent more energy At night you can lower the ther mostat by five or even ten degrees There are ways to conserve energy and curb the pollution caused by creating that energy Montana and again t i know what its doing on the front page other than taking another crack at the police in general Its funny but it does try to present the dumb cop image If I dont get myself together ID think Im reading the funny section as opposed to the front page of a Canadian newspaper Next item same page same paper A story of a London Ontario policewoman who was charged with Impaired driving In her offduty Just another litUe innuendo to put down the In general Fortunately this time they re using our own officers Instead of the ones out In Montana However Ill bet my best pair of brass boot that there are twice as many offduty newspaper men charged with Impaired driving than policemen or women Either way is that front page news There was also a headline story of former President Richard Nixons present health problems and we certainly cant object to that is Dining Tit for tat you know Coincidence The best item on the front page that day was from Prince Charles He certainly seems to have a lot going for him and before you start sending stampede of nasty letters on how I support the monarchy I dont Im almost a fullblooded nationalist almost Back to Prince Charles whom I admire He was speaking to the press on the difficulty of constantly having to wave at the crowds I met many people and was waving much of the time The next day I woke up to find was waving in bed Thats something like Pierre and Margaret They wake up smiling 1 assume Now on the third page of the Star that day was an item about Eugene demanding cheaper skim milk sure with todays prices the press feeb we would much rather read about American scandals on the front page than Canadian economy Has our country become so that moat of the time only American news to front page stuff It would appear that when some of our news people get news such as Margaret Trudeaus diary to the press we make our own first lady sound as if she didnt make it past grade school I have all the compassion in the world for the personal problems of Margaret but t really dont like to see them played up If Indeed the purpose Is to show how we are all susceptible to mental health problems and they need not be hidden well and good but Is that the purpose here We dont want or need another Jacqueline Kennedy The press makes these public fairyland people Being Canadian naturally we will work in reverse and show our first lady as We still remember her as the girl who didnt want to sign on aim paper to a Plry instead of the Americans sophisticated Jackie Who needs it Ive heard It said by many Britons and Europeans that Canadians abroad have no identity Canadians abroad apparently travel around with Canadian flags on their knapsacks Without them according to those I spoke with no one would recognize them Some of our newspapers seem to reflect this type of thinking Idontandcant
