ontario division of the cw n a editorial comment thompson- stewart vows in st albans anglican gradual assimilation are ypu one of the newer residents of georgetown who hasn t met many people who thinks the town an unfriendly place where it is hard to get to know the older residents if so take heart for georgetown is not unique it is one of many metropolitan fringe towns not small enough to absorb newcomers rapidly not large enough to have the complete impersonality one expects in a city the first few months in an in between town can be lonesome well agree and there s a reason people in a town like to size up a newcomer before extending the hand of friend ship too far heres how tt works a man may meet a newcomer take a liking to him and invite the new couple over for an even ing only to find the foursome doesnt jell in a real small town this wouldn t happen because all four people would have plenty of opportuni ty to size each other up beforehand in a city it wouldn t matter because the couples would go their separate ways and become lost in the crowd of humanity not so in a town like georgetown here the town is sufficiently large that everyone doesn t know everybody yet not large enough that one doesn t bump into other people frequently if the above situation occurred here the entertained couple would feel duty bound to repay hospitality and endure another miserable evening and the sad affair might trail through several exchange visits before it ended so with most people such meetings don t occur until people have met as couples in public places have had this initial introduction without any social obligations and are reasonably sure of compatibility add to this the rapidity with which large numbers of people have moved to town a con centration in one or two wholly new areas ra ther than scattering in settled sections and a large percentage of newcomers employed in other towns and you have auxiliary problems of assimilation what s the answer time plus an as sist from the lonely people themselves by oining the ambulance brigade brass band red cross chamber of commerce can use more members there are service clubs for those who like this form of public activity golf bowl mg and curling clubs welcome newcomers there are lodges you can join georgetown has such varied recreation organizations as the hunters and anglers revolver club horticultural society fall fair board arts crafts scouts and guides need men and women to serve on group committees and each church has groups where you can serve by joining you ii meet people and gradu ally the looking over process will be replaced by friendships which will be the more secure because they haven t been rushed auction sale fairest way impending action of the town council in offering two large tracts of municpalityowned land for sate could best be handled by an auction with reserve bid we suggest rather than by tenders tender purchase of property puts all wouldbe buyers in a quandry with no parti cular yardstick to rudge while a buyer in this position tends to add a few more dollars to the price he deems fair it is quite a guessing game nor does the town end with any par ticular extra profit no action best here it isn t often that one can commend a municipal council for doing nothing but in the case of the bell telephone request for a rate increase this holds true worried by a general protest from many municipal councils last fall which had the cumu lative effect of leading the federal cabinet to overrule the decision of one of its own boards tp grant an increase the bell firm this time had its district manager appear before councils to explain the company s position lloyd denby spent half an hour last week on this mission and after some questions and facts about eye banks today most large centres in the world have eye surgeons who make a study of corneal transplantation according to an article by dr hugh ormsby in the current issue of magazine health official publication of the health league of canada a mator problem is the scarcity of donor eyes suitable for corneal grafting tt is generally accepted by surgeons that the eyes must be healthy and must be used soon after death of the donor they must ho examined for disease and transported to wait ing surgeons wvhout delay an extensive re search program on eye bank storage and corneal grafting has been underway for four years at the university of toronto in 70 grafts per an auction has a double advantage to both buyer and seller here the buyer is competing in the open market with others interested can bid as high as he wishes and is not confined to guessing what his competitions might decide from the town s standpoint protected by a sen sible reserve bid the property realizes to the last penny what the buyer is willing to pay and in fact might even get a few dollars extra from a buyer who gets imbued with the spirit of an auction and lets his enthusiasm get the better of his judgment rev johnrathbotm the marriage of jurjorie stewart daughter of mr and mrs james stewart glen william when she became the bride of andrew thompson son oftir and mix andrew
