canadian weekly newspaper association and the ontario division of the c w n a horticultural society perhaps rumours that a horticultural society may be re vived in georgetown will mean good news to every one should this materialize such an organization of course primarily brings benefits to its members through mutual enioyment of gardening flowers and plants instruction in the field of horticulture and the thrill of experimenting with new varieties and occasional competitions and exhibits but a wider application was suggested by mayor armstrong at mondays council meeting during a dis cussion of tree planting particularly in the towns new subdivisions when sid hardie representing sun rebirth of hobbies the georgetown chess club sparked by don parker and al zeravlev is another noteworthy recrea tion which we are glad to see come to georgetown personally we are not interested for we don t think we are built to stand the tension of a game in ternationally known for its complexities and brain power but one doesn t have to be personally inter ested in every aspect of community recreation to ap preciate its value and a chess club will certainly fill its need in georgetown s cultural life we commented last week on increasing attend ances at hockey games as a sign that we might be re verting to the days when entertainment comprised more than just watching a tv set we hope that the same thing may happen at the local roxy where atten dance has not been what it used to be and where even picture news increasing the herald this year is using pictures more and more as a form of news coverage and comments of readers indicates that this is meeting with favour our pictorial coverage is still woefully inadequate for two mam reasons the economic side which fol lows only a limited budget for the expense of repro ducing a large quantity weekly and the fact that with no photographer on the staff we are limited to the kindness of people like fred helson jim goudy bill hardman prince charles studio and the occasional amateur who presents us with a good newsworthy cut this week the herald is using more pictures than at any other one time we can remember thanks to bill hardman we have some excellent shots of the beam ratepayers asked for cooperation in tree plant ing in that area the mayor said this could well be han ded under the direction of a horticultural society which he believes is in its formative stages the idea certainlj has merit apd it is to be hoped that enough people interested in reviving the society which passed out of existence in the early forties will be found tree planting could be only one phase of a gen eral campaign of slreet and home beatification which needs only the spark of such an organization to create widening interest in the beauties of nature which are so cheap and available to everyone a lop movie doesn t always fill the house a theatre is an important part of a community and we shouldn t like to see here what has happened in palmerston where the theatre closed down because patronage did not justify keeping it going and we further hope that tennis almost a lost sport may revive this summer too in our younger days the tennis courts had lineups waiting to play and there were active clubs which visited between towns for tournaments and ocial times wh ch we still remember interest m the towns only courts at the anglican church has been so slim for a few years that serious consideration has been given at limes to turn ing the courts into a parking area and once they are gone it would be that much harder to revive tennis some future year ho ey team unfortunately two players were not present and are missing from the pictorial lineup ken nash and ptashink prince charles studio is respoh sible for the photo of the ice follies bunnies the little pictures of rotanans were taken some time ago thro kindness of stew young who snapped all club mem bers last year with the idea of using pictures when a news item justified it as the town grows and the herald increases m size use of pictures will gradually increase to supple ment written news it is part of a policy of growing with the town by which the herald staff strives each week to produce a bright newsy edition which covers town and district news as fully as possible two morning services for large congregations two
