the ontario quebec division of the cw n a th editors column shop at home for christmas with so much mild weather this fall christmas has almost anuck up on us and its hard to realize that in another five weeks well sit down to a tur key dinner while presents and gift wrappings clutter -v- up the rooms and the christmas tree lights twinkle thoughts of christmas are triply religious social and commercial as is our custom at this time of year we speak of the latter and ask our readers to do a share of their buying in georgetown where dollar for dollar value matches anything in larger centres local stores ate stocking up as heavy as possible on gift items and with many items back on the market there is a much better variety from which to choose this year we would still suggest however that shopping be not laft for the last minute for supplies are not inexhaustible and early shoppers will have a better choice than those tardy ones who leave it till the last day or two the next few issues of the herald will advise you of the best in values and we particularly draw the attention of readers to the advertising sections of the paper to assist them with christmas shopping budgeting for the unforeseen at the last council meeting georgetown coun cil was faced with a rather embarrassing situation in two requests for water service which would create an expenditure of 5500 and for which funds were just not available in that departments budget council hedged on the issue by asking time to examine town finances to see if surplus from some other department could not be used for this while we cannot be criti cal of the present council for not foreseeing such ex penses we wonder if next year it would not be well for the new council to examine possible sources of un foreseen expenditures and budget accordingly in order to meet these in a growing town there are bound to be expenditures for such things as water service and new roads arising during the year which should be ta ken care of and for which some funds should be avail able the changing scene from time to time we have found it interesting to review changes in georgetown since 1939 and this week we start another article in this direction just for a change we shall leave main street and the merchant fraternity for a later article and deal with the broader aspects of community life such as building and indus
