association hc onartoquebec division at tje cwi iwsll ualn an important letter it is to be hoped that every ratepayer read the let ter in last weeks herald from public school board chairman edwin wilson in which he outlined hilly the reasons why an auxiliary public school must be built and ready ror use by september 1952 the story has been told in instalments in this column and in the news columns of this paper but this was the first official statement from thetsoard to the public it will not be the last mr wilson and his hardworking confreres have set themselves a major task in presenting to the public the complete picture olpublicschoolfonditions andthey have carefully estimated future requirements no ratepayer who looks to the future and is interested in town progress can fail to see his duty when a vote is taken- it will cost money certainly but it will also cost money if a schflbl is not built and there will be a serious retardingof the high educational standards which up to now have been enjoyed a growing town has difficulties the question of a new school is one outcomi of a growing town it is only one sewer extensions side walks hydro water and roads all come into the picture when a small town starts expanding and unfortu- unately they are all major capital expenditures which cannot be delayed for any great length of time the end result is that it is impossible to carry on without incurring a growing capital debt some think that new industry is the answer get a new plant to locate here and it will solveall the difficulties quite the contrary it would intensify the problem just suppose that a new industry which would employ nsay two hundred workers were to open here this year a certain pro portion but a small one would be composed of local people but the great percentage would jbe new resi- dents in the course of time many of these would build their own houses and once again we would have the same merrygoround sewers water hydro roads and possibly another public school addition five or six years from now in the long run oftourse a growing town pays off there are more people to pay for the improve ments and while temporarily the tax rate has a bilious look it eventually tapers off but for the present we are caught in a sea of rising costs and the only thing to do is grin and bear it and pay there is of course the possibility that people em ployed in town will shun high taxes and build their homes on the outskirts but this situation tob will rec tify itself intime for gradually there will be agitation in such communities as glen williams for civic ser vices and we can envisage the day when georgetown will take the glen into its boundaries along with such sections as along the highway past wartime housing where are the hockey fans there is no group of citizens who deserve more praise and more sympathy than the members of the hockey club who this year have carried on nobly in the face of an apathetic public interest in the game it is hard to believe that the arena which last year packed over a thousand people into each game during the sea son and had sellouts for most of the playoff games should this year see crowds of a few hundred particu larly is it strange because indications ate that this year we have the best teafti in theoha and every player is a home brew v lest we hear someone saying who is he to talk we can explain that we have never been a one hundred percent supporter of hockey because of a combina tion of a job and health which does not permit us to take in many games we have to be content with being a moral fan who appears at the end of the season when milder weather precludes any possibility of ill ness s there have been several reasons advancbd of the poor attendance this year too early a start last fall matching the raiders with poorer teams in a league whiehdidnirhave the appeal of acton orangevilte and fergus and a hike in admission prices when times are settling down all these have no doubt had their effec and poor playoff competition has put the kibosh on anticipated gdte receipts for these t in t too late td show some real support for team andvxecutive by attending
