comment history to be recorded while not a primary reason for formation of credit vahey conservation authority the marking of historical sites along a planned scenic route is on interesting and important sidelight of the authority s interest and possibility of obtain ing a buildirjgsuiiable for h store displays is possibly the first step in establishment of a mus eum in this section of halton wh ch would truly be a wonderful acquisit on for future generations it is in the aulhonty s mind to place wood en markers painted brown with gouged letters piled by anthony adamson historical chatffrwn for the authority among them in jhis district are the millsite at hultonville the forster 20th century painter birthplace south of norval and nerval glen w lliams limehouse and terra cot ta while not mentioned in his report undoub tedly georgetown would come in for mention too w th the old dynamo site ot the world s first use of ndustnal hydro power when it was transmit ted to the old lower paper mill and if the painted yellow to note historical places artrac stor is correct that timothy eaton had his first store in glen williams this would be a suitable place ior a marker also mr adamson will be pleased to have any authenticated details of early history in the area and the herald will be pleased to turn over any such information to him would expand pipe aand to include variety acts georgetown out january 13 1050 dear mr editor- 1 had the pleasure of meeting the members of the girls pipe band on monday evening and my impression ts that there is pros pect of another band similar to the one we had in 1042 i would like to have some new members girls who can play pi ano guitar pianoaccordion vio hn tap dance or sing etc so we can be in a position to have a var iety of entertainers for programs but such eritfetainers must learn either the pipes or drums at well i would like to have about tour gir s leara the clarinet fr 2 paft harmony in conjunction with the pins and drums true no other pipe band has done such but if we only copy from some wc will never be any better they if you are under 40 or over 12 married or single have determln auon and dignity- you will- be welcome the music will be taught if you already do not know you must buy jour pipes but uniforms will be supplied an jou already know the lions club has taken over sponsorship but there is a part jou can play and that is give us jour goodwill and support whcneer you can hlo ohe could produce an outstanding band without full cooperation of a i its numbers thifn can have jours as well if jou arc in ii rested drop line to the sceretarj girls pipe georgetown then we will live signs of this type are already being used the bolton district and will have been noted by many local residents the markers would be placed on two cedar posts giving a rustic effect in harmony with the historical fheme a lengthy list of suggestions has ben com a county museum from time to time we have mentioned edi tonally our hope that some day a museum could be established in georgetown or district with the conservation authority to give gui dance perhaps a few interested citizens will get together soon and form the nucleus of such a museum for the longer we wait the harder it will be to accumulate tangible evidences of past history according to mr adamson s report his com mittee is of the opinion that such a museum should be in a conservation park and contain it ems referring primarily to the credit river and its watershed a pioneer village is already in ex istence near woodbridge and there would be djp ication in establishing another so near the valley of the black creek at limehouse other ladies in politics when in a december editorial we said mrs anne curne was the first woman to be el ected to public office in georgetown s history we were wrong on at least five counts it is true that mrs curne is trie f rst lady to sit as a councillor but there have been at least five ladies el vickie lay pupils pass dancino exams pupils of the vickie lay school of dancing who successfully tried their xantf nations recently were in cdta tap grade 1 lane sous- kill 82 highly commended joy haines 74 ballet cecchciti grad 2 maureen hepburn commended diane greenwood was once a remarkable little centre of industry with woollen and saw mills lime kilns and forge he says 1 believe that our historic dis plays should be of an industrial nature describ ing the rural industrial economy of our water shed based on water power which is quite disep peared in the remarkable limehouse site a brick house now stands and could be used as a focus mr adamson s idetft give a new stant to us on what a museum could be and are certainly worthy of consideration such type of museum would give more con tinuity tb an historical group wh ch instead of gathering miscellaneous unrelated items would have a goal in mind we favour t also a member of the shortlived board of edul- cation chairman in fact and we have always joked that either we were such a bad one they decided to dissolve the board or such a good one that a successor coulcut4 be found what did happen of course was that georgetown oi ned the high school district the next year and ected at various times as school trustees the most left high school matters to an appointed board recent was another anne mrs harry watkins who now lives near milton she was a member of the 1949 board of educat on which was in ex istence for only one year to deal w th matters affecting the towns h gh school and at that t me sole public school seven candidates vied for the six seats on he new board and mrs watkins was one of the successful ones a few weeks later she moved from town and resigned her position when cec davidson drew this to our atten honour face was red why because we were reverting to a system of electing public school trustees fred mcnally is credited with supplying the names of four other lad es who have served n elect ve
