rlsrt the herald la printed each wednesday in the oflloa on main street georgetown authorised aa second class mall pott office dept ottawa member of the canadian weakly newspapers association and the- ontario division of the nepers aaao cwha radio phonics perhopa the meaneat trick in many a year was played on a georgetown resident recently one saturday a man phoned saying he waa calling for a toronto radio station and if the name of roy rogers horse could be given in thirty seconds a new car would be the prize the proper answer irihher waa supplied by the lady of the house and the cal ler said the new car would be delivered on sunday when it did not arrive by monday the people called the radio station only to find there was no such contest and they had been victims of u hoax we would guess that perhaps a group of teenagers were having some fun although the myatery deepens because if they were picking numbers from the phone book the people they culled huve moved to town only recently and their number is not listed m the present dir ectory llie incident brings to mind some skull dukgery in our teenage past years back in windsor without television to fill in spire time sometimes a group would gather and de- pot pourri mentioning the tribute paid to archdca con iliompson last week when councillors and two members of parliament attended his last church service we did not note the fact that all georgetown s living mayors attended covering terms of office back to 1 922 when the town was elevated from village status they are lawyer leroy dale qc farmer har old cleave who is also a past warden of the county assessment commissioner joseph gibbons and mayor jack armstrong we would sugrest that the bell telephone co might be wise to use a different dial code for the milton exchange winch is planned next year the company has announced that tremont will be the dial name and we can sec some confusion when the main digits are the same as georgetowns triangle it is surprising how many people refer to our code as trimty camfusion in ads in the george town and milton newspapers is one reason we can think of for it is customary in adver tising to use only the first two letters of the exchange poems by michael muir are a welcome new note in the herald these past few weeks we suggest that those who enjoy this writing by a norval resident convey this to michael muir in person youd be surprised how much a lift it gives a writer to know that some of his work is appreciated while their new house in sunbeam heights is being built mr and mrs victor ridout and their three children who ore moving here from weston are temporarily living in a house on queen street recently purchased by don shnnltland from mrs a c mcmurcny of hut- tonville mr shankland is converting the house into three apartments with thp present upstairs tenants mr and mrs george martin keeping one of the apartments the house on charles street which is being built by frank petch is nenring completion and geor- cide to muke some phpneee calls choos ing numbers at random from the phone book we would call chinese restaurants and order impossiblesounding oriental dishes until the restauranteur was ready to strangle us over the wires we would call travel agents and ask so many questions about places to vuutr rates climate and distance that the party on the other end of the wire would be reduced to a rnnntacal gibbering stage a favourite cull went something like this hits is the hydro office calling would you check and see if your street light is burning long pause while the hapless per son could be heard walking to the front door then footsteps back to the phone yes its on well turn it out hie lights in my eyes and 1 cant sleep and an even more favourite we are checking your telephone would you pleaar tep hack two feet and say hello in a loud oice four feet six feet eight feet while the teenage demons doubled up with laughter gctown a auctioneer and his wife will be mov ing in later this year it is between the bill bonathan and mrs stanley gowland resi dences i oronto has garbage dump prob lems too coming home from the ex on i riday we thought there must be a huge fire in the sunnyside area because of the dense imolic which came from the other side of the railway tracks checking in saturdays paper we found it was n dump along the hurnber and residents have been vociferous in com plaining about the nuisance though we saw little of the ex except the midway it wni strictly childrens day for us we did have n quick scoot through the new pure food build ing which is certainly an improvement over the old structure food companies this year have excelled themselves in their displays though we question their wisdom in having lucky draws at so many booths most people tend to be so intent on filling out the draw forms that they forget to look nt the exhibits perhaps the best of all in the building are the rest ureal provided by the okeefe brewer ies including one for the kiddies with swings nnd teeters going to the ex in midafter- noon nnd returning in the early evening is an experience for those who like to study human nature one cant help noticing the tired fa ces in late afternoon the limp summer outfits which were so crisp and neat when the day began the people sitting in utter fatigue on any projection thnt affords n perch the tired parents cnrryjng dragging or berating children who haye been surfeited with rides and drinks nnd swarms of people then an nour or two later you note the fresh new faces arriving for the evening full
