compiled our lhcome state ments we think- the unanimous reaction to that m that present taxes are quite high enough salting away as much as we can afford in victory bonds serves a further twofold purpose which is to qjjir selfinterest that money will give us a good start after the war to buy and build all the things that wartime restrictions make prohibitive or impossible to do today at the same time that dangerous extra purchasing power will have been drained off and the prime cause leading to inflation will have been diminished next sunday is victory loan sunday when the ministers of the churches wifl urge their congregations to support this loan to the limit of their ability george town did not quite make the quota last time let s make up for it m this loan housing short age real problem here and throughout country a problem that is evidently making itself felt throughout the whole country wherever industries and army camps eire located is the housing shortage in large centres such as the city of toronto the situation has been very bad for months now but it threatens to go beyond control on and after may i st the date when most eviction notices take effect city offi cials have been besieged with requests for help from thousands of people who are getting panicky at the thought of being put out of their homes with no other place to go right here in georgetown the situation is bad and seemingly the only way one can be sure of having a home is to buy one people who can t afford to take this step are out of luck if circumstances are such that they have to have a place to live within a couple of months or sooner we ve had some desperate people in our office from time to time this year who have had their notices coming into effect within a couple of days and a ill no place to go however something must have turned up at the last minute for we didn t hear of any one camping in the streets the only thing that can help the situation here is for people with large houses who do not need the apace to turn them into duplexes or rent a few rooms even half a dozen more such apart ments would help the situation a great deal as for the larger centres there is only one thing the government can do which in our opinion will really give lasting relief and thit is to release more men and materials to the building trade so that a sufficient num ber of dwellings or apartment houses can be constructed to our mind more rentil and freezing regulations will only complicate the situation certainly some steps will have to be taken to see that law abiding citizens have a roof over their heads board of trade has plan of action the board of 1 rade in georgetown has had a very auspicious beginning and last week s enthusiastic meeting further confirmed our contention that it s going to be one of the finest things that has ever happened to our town last friday night a prominent hamilton citizen russell t kelly came out and addressed the meeting mr kelly is deeply interested in the formation of boards of trade in small towns particularly he has been a booster for such organizations for years but his work in this line has been greatly intensified of late because of the necessity of organized planning for post war re habilitation in every community which has sent men to the war the initial meeting called to form a board of trade here showed a great many citizens were really anxious to see one formed the executive was elected the groundwork laid but a definite plan of action was needed to accomplish anything worthwhile last friday night mr kelly who hns had wide experience in these matters supplied that plan and the plan is going to be put into action a survey will be made in georgetown which will give us ac ual facts to work on with regard to post war rehabilitation the board of trade in georgetown is going to be a truly community and district organization there was an excellent attendance of women at the last week s meeting and the ladies as well as the men are being re presented on the executie the gates are being thrown wide open for membership so that every georgetown citizen can get behind this organization and boost the town in which he makes his living if we who live here don t boost it who wilp we have a real live town that s hard to beat it s the object of the board of trade to convince manufacturers here and in britain of this really however this cinnot be accomplished without organized enthusiastic effort and we feel sure the board of tnde with the support of every citizen who wants to see georgetown thrive is just the organization to achieve this end congratulations ninety two years ago april 3rd 1852 the first copy of the backwoodsman of which paper the present elora express is a lineal descendent came
