been trag edies inasmuch as they removed young men just at the threshold of jife and ones who had only begun their contributions to community life which would have in creased in value as he years went by while death at any age brings its grief to those left behind it is partic ularly shocking when it corrressuddettty to young men in the prime of life who leave young widows and child- ren our sympathy is expressed to the wives of robert mclaughlin fred humphrey and doug raine to whom fate has dealt such a heavy blpw a valued citizen the weeks news also contains the death of one of georgetowns best citizens john n oneill whose namwas intimately associated with the business growth of the town at the time of his retirementa few years ago mr oneill was one of the oldest main st businessmen and a man honoured and respected throughout the countryside for his fair and honest con duct of his business the oneill block which houses the businesses of henry davis wood products eatons carrolls mahers and duffys restaurant was erected by him after a disastrous fire which destroyed his first place of business and it is and will remain one of the finest business buildings in the town potpourri albert tennant who has been associated with paul larsen in the local contracting firm of starbuild ers has accepted a position in toronto with milne c nichols and will be commuting to his new job re newing his subscription j red warnes of south porcu pine writes regarding bill ronevs peach tree my late father fred g warnes planted one at our former home where mrs fred yates now lives in i92tiand in 1932 the year my father died this same peach tree produced six eleven quart baskets of peaches if i am not mistaken mr yates cut this down along with other trees alter he bought the house so 1 think my father had the distinction of planting the first peach tree in georgetown unless there were others which 1 never got to hear of another business change on main street is noted this week when mr and mrs w a mcgowan open a childrens wear shop in vis variety shop which vi louth opened some time ago mr and mrs mc gowan recently moved here from locan and are living on ostrander boulevard the herald is doing a swell job for the community writes arnold brill re newing his subscription fijom montreal thanks arn old letters like that make us try harder to produce a good newspaper the death of howard oram in toronto removes a friend whose occasional contribu tions to the herald were always appreciated mr orcm a ghs graduate had a great love for his old school and from time to time he would send in a story of the old days or bring us up to date on the whereabouts of for mer graduates the newspaper dog days this summer it has sometimes been a hard strug gle to fill up the pages of the hrald with enough inter esting news of the town and district it fcms that in summer with organizations calling a hilt for a vaca tion with council meeting only once a month instead of the customary twice and with so many people out of town on vacation that nothing much happens it is at times like these that we often wonder on a monday morning just what we are going to have in the paper and occasionally you will note a column or two of what is known in the trade as boiler plate prepared copy which newspapers can buy in plate form and use when copy is scarce this is one of those weeks although it differs because on monday we had a great number of leads ort stories and thought it would be smooth sail ing until the man in charge of making up the paper said that he had already used everything up with the excep- tion of a couple of important items which he was sav ing for thefront page another editorial of course was the suggestion but what it would be about we had a dandy idea from one of last weeks news i tenia but round the bend beat us to the punch we could men tion the roads but everyone else seems jo know as much about road conditions as we do and besides it wont be long until georgetown once more ha roads aa mooun as glass we could tell them where the liquor atore will be located and who thejjersonnel will be but thia m still in the rumour stage and awewtpaperman to official we could chase down the rumours that bob up every now and then that the lower papermill is go ing to open again that loblaws are going to build a super market here or that someone or other has bought the golfcourse we might find out if the bell tele phone are going to give us dial telephones by 1951 or where all the new factories which were locating here have finally settled or we could write a red hot editorial on how small businessmen are required by the government to collect and remit sales tax uneniploy- mfent insurance and income tax and to send enough in- forrhption to choke a horse to the bureau of statistics all without any remuneration for their time or out of pocket expenses for stamps paper and cheques but unfqrtuoately the d6g days for news arc also the dog days for the editorial writer and when the sun is shining und the hot summer- day 6 are upon us the old brain doesiit seem to behitting- on high either so ideas like these must be saved till a later date but there our typewriter measure tells us that we have enough to fih up this weeks editorial column so we can gefback to the business of news gathering and forget this col umn for
