believe it or not perhaps you will remember reading laat year about the puffball which puahed ita way up through the tarvia pavement in front of the brewers warehouae when manager am walker phoned ua that day to tell ua the story we thought at firat he had been aampling aome of the warea he carriee but on the way home from work that night we examined the phenomenon taking along a witneaa to aubatantiate our atory subsequentry before the puffball fell prey to a passing youngater there were many who viewed it a good atory alwaya haa a aeque and ao some constructive ideas there wna morethan paaaing intereat in a talk by dr el g pleva in which he gave aome helpful hinta on community planning dr pleva who ia profeaaor of geography at the university of weatem ontario spoke at a dinner meeting of st johne mena club attended by a representative group of com munity and industrial leadera hia talk was of neceaaity in generalitiea but it waa not difficult to interpret them in the light of geor- getowna apecific problema he diamiaaed thoae who oppose change with one short sentence if you like thinga as they are you are living in the wrong place a few atatistica about the growth of popula tion and induatry in eouthern ontario in the laat decade showed the folly of hoping we can atay aa we are georgetown like all other communities in this area is bound to grow in years to come the important thing then is to plan how we are to grow he particularly warned of the dangers of becoming a dormitory community a town with a minimum of induatry whose residents earn their livelihood somewhere else high tax- where is georgetown headed self examination is good for the soul and there are many places where georgetown can benefit from such a search in a decade the town has grown in pop ulation one thousand what have we got to offer that we didnt have back in the thirties two major improvements are the sewer age system and the new water supply muni cipal garbage has been inaugurated public school facilities are keeping up with the times and an additional school will be ready for occupancy in september artificial ice in the arena provincial policing a new fire truck additions to the town works staff creation of several new housing subdivisions all have played their part in making this a better town what do we lack there ia definite need for more modern high school facilities streets in general are only fair sidewalka are ter rible the recreational field ia adequately ta ken care of except for swimming georgetown badly needs a swimming pool street signs and street numbering would be helpful a bet ter system of street lighting could be of ben- pot pourri noticing recently in the telegram that william spain proofreader for that newspa per had a souvenir medal iaaued in 1897 to commemorate the 60th year of queen vic torias reign mra tom warnes tell ua that she haa one of these curio too mr spain wears his aa a watch charm while mrs warnes is gold coated and made up into a lady a brooch it belonged to her mother the late mr william muggins the medal bears the heads of four generations of royalty the then prince of wfues duke of windsor george v edward vii and victoria new faces along main street include anna leitch acton and donna thompson who have join ed liljieos beauty saloh k staff and lois thompson who took the commercial course at high school this year and- is nowiworking today in comes mr walker with tris years crop when he noticed the pavement heaving again he naturally thought another puffball when the intruder had reached a good size curiosity overcame him and doaer examina tion ahowed that the 1952 version waa a mushroom the muahroom meaaured 3 inchea in di ameter and had grown to a height of over 3 inchea when it waa plucked and believe it or not ia broke the pavement surface in ita rise from the depths if you dont believe ua stop by the warehouae and see for yourself i es for schools roads and all our civic service are bound to occur in auch a town he warned for the present basis of assessment gives in duatry a large share of the tax burden and res idential properties do not pay je7r own way everyone who was listening must have been struck with the current situation when large numbers of residents here work in malton where the huge avro concern paya ita taxes to the townahipa in which it is situated dr pleva is a man who should know what he is talking about for he makes part of his living by advising business firms on suitable locations for expansion it is therefore a point to file away that he claims no reputable firm is looking for something for nothing a town should not rush into giving tax and assess ment concessions but should concentrate on having things which the industrial taxes will pay for sufficient water supply good schools good roads and sewerage these are the things which industry seeks and the town which can provide them is the town that will prosper efit the park could be put in better shape the cenotaph could be moved to a more suit able location there could be more interest taken in the lions club whose membership has not grown with the population industrially the town has not progressed at all in ten years were it not for the great expansion of the smith stone plant there would be less people employed in industry than there wjye then we have lost the lower paper mill and the shoe factory a promising small company went forever when triplett closed down and we have added nothing in their place which employs that quantity of people we need new industry the new chamber of commerce has a wonderful field for work someone has to do the ground work and lay plans for the future georgetown it- is unrewarding work at the time but the effort will bear fruit years from now we must all try to avoid becoming a dormitory community for avro and the new ford plant and keep georgetown on an even financial keel cousens now have two policemen in the fam ily as colin has recently joined the ontario provincial police were hoping to have some fishing news from reporter george hoareone of these weeks guess george has been too busy
