labour and greenings and mcintosh reds couegf way the editors corner reminiscing again none were more sorry than ourselves when like all good things i our reminiscences of georgetown came to an end last weelc written twenty years ago by the late w c young editor of the cornwall free holder his sparkling wit and accurate eye for interesting historical data gave us an insight into the background of georgetowns past from time to time we hope to reprint other stories from past issues which will prove of general interest this week we have chosen a history of the kennedy family written by mrs j b wilson a great- granddaughter of george kennedy whose christian name lent itself to the municipality while this article appeared in the issue of may 12th 1937 there have been many newcomers since then who like ourselves are not versed in the towns past- history to these these glimpses of the past will be of value in getting to know what kind of a town they are living in to oldtimers who have read these articles before perhaps you will enjoy renewing these scenes of other years is family life forgotten gwendoline p clarke writing in the acton free press this week reviews an addrsss given by miss sybil bennett to the womens institute and makes some pertinent observations of her own concerning modern family life miss bennett referred to the freedom given the young people of today and cited an instant an instance which we all knew was very true and alas all too common miss bennett mentioned having visited a home where there were six in the family ouly two of them were home the others did not appear for supper and no one knew where they were what they were doing or when they would be home miss bennett said this was the aort- of thi that mustbestopped i have thought a jlpt about that address i know miss bennett was right as a mother ofj bwo young people i have every reason to know she was right partner- and i have always been opposed to this modem pace and the freedom of the younger generation we made our own two keep within limits up to a certain age but now well every mother knows the answer how can we put on the brakes how can we say no when everybody else is saying yes if we do say no and stick to it then we invite a case of open rebellion sometimes we even have to take that chance rather than forsake a principle that we know to be tight afte cert deaungwith young people is like trying to stop a prairie fire maybe that is an apt simile for a prairie fire as we know eventually burns itself out maybe the answer to a new social order lies with the young people themselves perhaps this war will teach them as nothing else can that the bluebird of happiness can be found within their own homes it is a lamentable fact that modern family life in ontario at least is not what it once was and the fault doesnt all lie at the young folks door too often young people dont spend their evenings at home because there is no one to spend them at home with not that we believe in a family circle which is never broken by the absence of one of the members that would be a drab existence but there 1s a certain balance which can be maintained that is the ideal state a comprise between the oldfashioned ironbound control over children and the modem toofreeandeasy lack of control new readers for barbara baines publishing a newspaper is an interesting job last april we re ceived a letter from a friend in toronto who wanted to write she is a university graduate had been a schoolteacher before her marriage and has wide connections with various womens social and service groups she enclosed a couple of samples of the type of writing she would like to do and we were impressel with the style and character of her articles and so we introduced barbara balnes to herald readers and awaited developments m the ensuing four months we have seen the quality of barbara balnes column steadily improving as the weeks go by women readers in georgetown have commented from time to time on articles which interested them weekly newspapers in other towns be gan to reprint articles which appeared in her column last week for the first time readers in two other towns were read ing of interest to women the orangevllle banner and the tweed news have incorporated her column into their pages we hope that this is only a forerunner of bigger and better success for a new writer in canadas weeklies but the one tree for me stood down near the end whose leaning old trunk up wed run and wed pcrchon the branches and swing on the limbs it afforded us oceans of fun since the
