jl the editors column taxi patrons can help local taxi companies came in for considerable criticism at the last council meeting when a petition was received by council trom residents of queen st asking that unlawful speeding on the street be immedi ately stopped while not all tke charge was levelled at taxis during the discussion of the question there were several references to them the other side of the story has been given us by one of the taxi drivers who says that patrons are often responsible for any speeding which occurs by neglecting to call early enough when they wish to catch a train or bus no taxi driver he says wants to willingly break the law by speeding but in a competitive business where ser vice is the only thing they have p offer tt puts a driver in a difficult position when he is asked to rush someone to their destination without being allowed sufficient time to do this at a reasonable rate of speed if taxi patrons would cooperate by calling eay this situation would never occur he believes while we realize that taxi drivers have these troubles in obligating patrons tfcey have also an obli gation to the public at large as has every driver of a motor vehicle queen street is a particularly danger ous street bordered as it is with ornamental bushes which obscure the view of the sidewalk and there is a great danger even at slow speeds of children being in jured the cooperation of all drivers is asked in using more caution than usual in driving along it and in order to help taxis patrons are urged to make their calls just as early as possible so there will bf no need for speeding busses are back s there has been no more contentious question in town thi year than the council bus company differ ences which resulted in georgetown being without a terminal or ticket agency since early in july last week at the council meeting the town fathers dropped the hot potatoe and agreed that inconvenience to the bustravelling public overweighed any traffic difficulties caused bj the busses on main street and asked gray coach lines to reroute their busses as formerlv this was done on monday and things are back to normal again j it is unfortunate that the question ever went as far as it did and we feel that council acted too hastily in their original action had they asked bus company officials to talk over the situation rather than request- ng them to reroute busses up the highway we dont think the matter would ever have assumed such major proportions it has shown however that the 1947 council will admit a mistake when they make one and that their original action in making a snap decision has been corrected by reversing this decision a sports day deluxe september 20th promises to be a hi eh light in georgetown when the first annual track and field meet and halton school championships will be held in georgetown park the meet is jointly sponsored by georgetown recreational council and the gladstone athletic club of toronto and is sanctioned by central ontario branch of the amateur athletic union of can ada in addition to public and high school track and field contenders from all parts of halton county it will bring athletics for the open events from outside centres such as toronto hamilton guelph and gait the toronto police force tugof war team will try to take away the maccormack cup from branch i 20 cana dian legion who hold the trophy at present there are two mixed relay eventsone opn and one for high schools feature of the meet is the international silver 30mile relay for the huge cup held at present by glad stone a c and which is now on view in the her ald office window entry forms are available for the meet and can be obtained in town from recreational director hal newman ray meads of toronto is looking after the city end of the entries and has been supplied with a number of entry forms it is things like this track and field meet which help to bind the county closer together and to develop a county spirit lack of which we commented on in a recent editorial it is particularly hoped that all coun ty schools will tc represented in georgetown on sep tember 20th to make the halton school championships m truly representative event fc uoks club heeds support as a service dub georgetown lions club has hmn a dormant ovsanization during the war years with its normal child welfare actrntiea subdued to the ah- wportant puipuau of victory for and the allies not that the club has not been functioning generous donations to red cross war victims funds soldiers comforts recognition committee and dozens of others were made from a treasury which dwindled as dona tions exceeded income this year the club has mapped out several projects which will again put them to trfe fore in work among children these include in the immediate future installation of bicycle racks on main street and moving of swings and slides from central park tp a location near normandy boulevard these and other projects will require funds and that is just what the club lacks at present it is no secret that se veral club projects this past year have ended in the red the most recent being the garden parry in the park and the club is starting from scratch with funds at an all time low a its first effort to raise money for 1947 48 projects the club is sponsoring a lucky draw on fair day september i 3th and the public is aslfled to be par ticularly generous in buying lucky draw tickets there is much tsat can be done by a service club and the only way funds can be raised for this js by such projects a profit of two or three hundred dollars from sale of these tickets will give the club a big boost and will be imme diately reflected in more worth while projects can we count on you with the
