association- arid tfce ontario quebec division of ih cvffna i- v sourgapes y fun is ftm bue we think- the milton charrrpion carried too far lat week in a yiciounarttack on georgetowns hockey team club officials and fans signed by ravin ross pearenp pen jwe axe surprised that editor dills allows that sort of thing to appear in the county town paper which should set the example for others although after some of the things we read in the acton free press wewonder if he too isnt carried away by a healthy hatred of all things georgetown when it comes tp sport not that we are the exception for the free press is currently embroiled in a heated exchange of words with the fergus news record which keeps a much better balance in its news pages remembering that readers are interested in other news as well as hockey in case you havent read the champion we as sure you we arent going to repeat the tripe which ap peared in a twocolumn sour grapes column after milton was ousted from the playoffs charges of georgetown players gambling on the games and that th- oh a meeting was stacked against milton are ser ols things to put in print but even they can be put down to the heat of the moment but when a news writer deliberately licr o provoke municipal hatred between one town and anov it gets our dander up t hat sort of thinff goes against the grain of decent citi- scens in any town and we trust that milton hockey fans will not take his advice and degrade themselves or the game by turning future miltongeorgetown affairs into grudge matches we are hoping to see some saner ports writirig in next weeks champion when ravin ross recovers from his hangover terrible jcoll we have every sympathy with brampton mer chants who were such heavy losers last tuesday in a flood which took a heavy toll in property damage on main street and we would judge that they will take a healthy interest in discussions on flood control to avcid recurrence of the tragedy we were over to the neigh bouring town on friday afternoon and there were still many visible signs of the damage merchandise loss will run into tens of thousands of dollars damage and there is no insurance to carry the load reeve maclaren of georgetown has been one of the strong supporters of solving the problem of floods and soil erosion and we may yet see him bring the issue to a head in halton where though our floods are not so serious they cause hidden damage in soil loss which in years to come will be much more serious even tha the in losses of brampton merchants flood control and soil erosion are tied very closely 7to- gether and a discussion of one must needs involve the other we know the individuals are willing to take the proper steps but they require direction from a higher source and a series of meetings between municipal representatives from a wide area followed by the ere- ation of a central committee which can draw up a mas ter plan is the only practical approach to the problem 7- on church attendance at a time when the communistic doctrine is battering at the doors of democracy we should exam ine our individual contributions to the prcservance of our democracy the greatest of which is the observance of practical religion and if our belief in religion is gauged by church attendance we are falling down bad- ly in this regard not that regular church attendance is the endall of religious observance but it is a start and a necessity many will argue that they are better christians than the sunday bibletoters this can and unfortunately oftenithe case but it is still no argu ment for staying away from church for without-chur- cheswecouldnot have our religion and there is no man who can say that going to church ever did him any harm if professors of the protestant faith could adopt at least this ideal of our roman catholic brothers georgetown churches would be filled to overflowing every sunday and we would be bound to have a bet ter group of citizens who would put more into the daily task easter time would be a particularly auspi cious time to turn over a new leaf and resolve to be a jregular church attender commemorating as it does the essence of the christian religion georgetowns tax rate it was no particular shock to taxpayers to read laat week in the herald that the tax rate had jumped by 50 per cent and would be 60 mills this year mayor gibbon hod given

for what they get while the burdenof taxes will be mucrthcavier for the next few years- we have every confidence that the ontario municipal board created to see that no municipality oversteps its capa- city by obligating itself to debentures which it is unable to repay would not allow georgetown to get itself into difficulty sewerage and wartime housing are neces sities and the latter will actually be of cash benefit to the town in years to come artificial ice while hot ne cessary will pay for itself over the term of the deben tures and provide us with an asset which is the envy qf
