weekly newspaper association and the ontario division of the cwna editorial comment curtailment would be curtains curtailment of the activities of the ontario municipal board as suggested recently by qn tano liberal leader john wintermeyer would be curtains for this important board if such were to happen the responsibility to determine what is the best procedure to be taken by a municipal ty should be returned to the elected officials says mr wintermeyer according to an editorial m the guelph mercury and he s joined in this criticism by eric hardy director of the cit zens research institute of canada taking over from mr w ntermeyer and mr hardy oust what the citizens research irish tute may be is unknown to us and is not expla ned in the article the guelph paper editor alizes in this fashion municipal governments are much closer to the people than either of the two sen or governments and their expenditures are therefore under closer scrutiny by those who pay the shot surely these people deserve to be trusted to manage their own affa rs if they elect incompetent people then rhey must expect incompetent administration but elections should be sufficient check rein on incompetence a board appointed by a senior government with sweeping powers to delay what are considered at the local level as necessary expenditures is neither essential nor desirable all of which is very high sounding and locally patriotic perhaps but so far from the truth that we cannot believe the guelph editor a flying visit princess margaret s visit to georgetown on thursday might as well have been by plane one thing the princess and the hundreds who filled the station platform have in common neither saw the other as the train whistled through at a brisk clip with only a white curtained car indi eating where the princess might be reposing disappointment was natural for those who made the trip to the stat on even though tinged with the knowledge that the train wouldn t be stopping everyone we think had it in the r mind that if the princess saw alt that crowd she would gtve a signal and briefly appear sim lar situations occurred all along the way at bramp ton acton guelph and kitchener so we wcr not alone the fact is that rt would be physically m possible for a royal v sitor to be on stage every hour of the day on thursday princess marga ret was getting a much needed lull between hnr tour of toronto and her appearance that n qht at the stratford festival what one could cnt c ze is the speed v t lalist has the faintest conception of why the board was organized and why it exists as we remember the municipal board came into being during the depression of the forties to take over the affairs of several ontario cities which were bankrupt or on the verge it re mained in existence to act as a big brother to municipalities to avoid recurrence of such situa tions in the future where towns exceed their borrowing capacity and comprising as we hope it does an impartial body of men whose knowledge of finance far exceeds anything one could expect from a local council it is a necessity particularly in these days of expans on of a tyoe which preceded the last depress on few municipal councils can be accused of ncompetence one can always assume that a counc llor gives his best and that he does not w ihngly jeopardize a town s future any more than he would his own but when it comes to mapr finance there are few men qualified to deal with problems w thout advice from a higher body so it was that when a million dollar sewerage proposal comes when new schools are needed or any rh ng nvolv ng large sums of money come up for d scussion in council the board acts like a big brother in saying yes or no one can argue that it is more democratic q allow a town to proceed on its own and that it is unfair to curtail the freedom of a council to incur debt we for one are happy to know there is advice and direct on available and we rh nk most councillors would share this view too social personal j farm nrws wh ch he tram passed through not many sec onds would have been lost had it slowed down to five or ten miles an hour for safety reasons alone this would have been wise with young sters crowding the very edge of the rails and a slowdown would have let people see the tra n as they did in guelph it also comes to mind that it would have been good press relations for an official state ment to have been sent to the mayors of towns en route and the press express ng the princess regret that no stop could be made and finally in these days of rapid travel we think royal visits should be more frequent and less stylized with a minimum of ceemony and a maximum of just touring around lett ng everyone feel the glow o empire which a glimpse of a royal personage engenders em prre wise towns like georgetown are important and a friendly wave from the train can accom pi sh as much perhaps for the brit sh common wealth as the more formal v

something to our town which would be rrvore permanent than good roods and equally important as schools and sewage disposal plants fluoridation of water a proven method of decreasing tooth decay can be done at an ex tremeiy small cost advertising wise it would be a terrific selling point for georgetown and would indicate that our town is one which has a real forward look the lead story in the june 24th issue of look magazine is entitled fluoridation why all i he controversy and is illustrated with photographs showing various aspects of a local campaign n new canaan conn the article says however fluoridation is disputed it arouses emotion wher ever it is put to a vote in new canaan with a 12000 population on the fringe of the new york convnuting ansa the issue arose this tprtttg an opposiliop committee forced a refer en dum after the local water company announced it was initiating the fluoridation program on recommendation of state and local health offi cials despite flooding of the town with anti fluoridation literature and opposition adsin the local newspaper the program was approved by 151 3 to 673 votes the campaign in favour was led by the local health director and mclu ded 32 of the community s 34 dentixtsand phy sicians the article concludes that despite the op position it s a safe bet that fluoridation will become as widespread as chlonnation is to day and the opponents can be decisively beaten as they were in new canaan as dr louis dublin a former vice president of the metropolitan life insurance co predicted last year this opposition will disappear like a bad dream
