georgetown herald a thomson newspapers limited publication serving the communltlev of georgetown glen wllllama norvat umehouse hornby stewarttown ballinotad aahgrovst terra cotta thursday april 13th 1961 editorial comment everything was good easter week will be a highlight in georgetowns history in years lo coirie over 500 young hockey players their coaches and managers and large conting ent of parent and friends converged on georgetown to put the international ban tam hockey tournament over with bang whicjl resounded for miles it was a wonderful week of activity a week of hard work for dozens of ladles who prepared and served the hun dreds of meals which brought such high pfaisefrom visitor aweek of hard work for executives referees timekeepers and dozens of men who helped around rhe arena week of excitement as players were billeted in homes and a week of pleasure for youngsters who made the arena their headquarters and for hockey fan of all ages who were treated to a fine cahbrepf port thinking back to a chamber of com merce executive meeting early last summer one realizes how big oaks materialize from acorns that day jack gudgeon who has been intimately associated with minor hockey as each suggested that georgetown should sponsor a tournament for bantams similar to those operated in godench and milton for other age groups the chamber explained that it has no way of raising funds and could not sponsor i tournament but voted a small monetary reading is important next week canada celebrates an an nual event canadian library week and with a fine week of sport just concluded it is important to remember that torne stress should be placed also on read ing habits of our young people the best young person is one who combines the right proportions of physical and mental activity equally important to physical prowess is mental stimulation more important in fact because intellectual development is longerlasting than any skill acquired at sports one can enoy a good sck many years after hitting a baseball or chasing a hockey puck ts past ones cap acity assist and moral support with the sugges tlon that the three service clubs be asked to head up an initial committee one thing led to another and after meeting or two decision was made to take the plunge and walter red asseltine who already spends the bulk of his spare time siding hockey and lacrosse activities was pressed into service at chairman and with red at the helm the tournament could j not possibly fail the organization of such en ambitious undertaking is terrific and only those who were privileged to sit in on the meetings could realize the endless amount of detail which the committee was faced with invitation letters were the first step trophy donors had to be found between game entertainment provided transporta tion of players to their billets the meals and billetting were maor problems to solve booster tickets had to be pushed to raise enough money to put the committee over financial hurdles referees and time keepers had to be found especially for the daytime games there were bound to be hitches and discouragements but surprisingly enough these were in the minority and to the uneducated eye one would have thought that the george town tournament had been going fori years so smoothly did it operate j it was a fine week and one for which we thank the men and women responsible i georgetowns library is an activity in which every young person mould have an active membership the world of books is a fascinating one and good reading habits acquired in childhood stand one in good stead in later life usually tha library board plans spe cial promotion for the week but this year i promotion is by way of improvements in process to rhe building which preclude any special displays pernaps the best way we can show our interest is to read an extra book next week sugar and spice by bill smiley s you ever h l my wallet wha old this was my ions com shot down and
