was much in evi dence at mondays nomination meetings in esquesing and nassagaweya contrary to most of the other hal- ton municipalities there will be no elections rh these townships this year and all members have been return ed to office foranother term both of these north hal- ton rural groups which together pay almost a quarter of the county rates are concerned about the proposed new county home for old people which was passed last year against the opposition of the three members who represent these municipalities for many years peel and halton have maintained a joint home at brampton and last year when it was found that an expenditure of about 200000 was necessary to modernize the build ing and provide extra accommodation a special com mittee of county council recommended that halton break away and provide their own building twenty acres of land has been purchased near milton and at present architects are drafting plans for the new build ing which has an estimated cost of 450000 esques ing and nassagaweya are opposed to this expenditure which they fear will be even higher by the time a build ing is completed and which will create higher operating costs because of the separate staff which will be neces sary as well as the fact that the present property is par tially selfsustaining and grows its own produce while the new building would not have that advantage the councils have the backing of the ratepayers for at both meetings on monday resolutions were passed express ing opposition to the new building and instructing the county council representatives to make an effort to have the matter held in abeyance at the present time pot pourri pity the poor editor at oiistmas time whjle other folks are making merry or sleeping off the effect of a good dinner he gets on the telephone to check on their visitors and visits which makes up the bulk of this edition of the herald speaking of personals it is impossible for us fo trace down all these items and tjie cooperation of every reader in phoning in these items helps make the herald a newsier paper 1 here is no charge of course for these important items of news a resident of the park district complains of the location of the post box which is located at the comer of charles and joseph streets wonder if the postal authorities could be persuaded to move the box to some more central location closer to the library where it could more adequately serve the residents of that part of town the lack of snow on christmas day was appreciated by those who were travelling on the high ways even though it didnt seem quite right to the sen timentalists and we include ourselves who like a car pet of mow for santas visit jean mackenzie com posed a particularly fine advertisement last week and several people have told us they enjoyed it the style of advertising being used by the j b mackenzie son firm is part of a trend toward human interest copy which is more and more apparent in publications this trend is even more noticeable in radio commercials which work their sales appeal into stories or jokes an announcement by the hydro chairman that the heavy rains last week have overcome anypower short ages for this year was welcome news yesterday new power plants will be completed in the fall and there is little danger of any further hydro cuts although he cautions that there must still be some voluntary sav ings to keep us all supplied with this important com modity thank you i we wish to thank the electors of esquesing township for returning us by acclamation as members of the 1950 council
