georgetown herald kmmud by ham naw apa umhad 22 main stratf s gaorgarown ontario wci page 4 thursday march i7rh lwa editorial comment please not another hassle now that the industrial commission hassle has pawed the point of no return wtt hope council won t be faced with a sim ilar situation in naming a board to operate gedarvale community centre in this case it seems to be a case of trying to please everyone- and satisfying no one it was councils idea that instead of selecting five individuals for the board they would seek recommendations from five groups the plan had one flaw there were more groups than posi tions and unfortunalely four service organ izations were lumped together and asked for one nominee the fur immediately started flying why should the red cross select a member and us a oint man roared ser vice club men whos going to call the meeting for us jo decide and how are we going to make our flftal selection when each club proposes a member tftey asked why shouldn t the men who are going to be asked to raise some of the money for cedarvale be the ones asked to serve on the board is heard the fact is that whit appeared jo be a good theory on council s part has turned into a boomerang- before it makes its full circle we hope flight can be arrested and a speedy tolu tfon found what we would not like to see is council abandon its idea of a separate board and decide to operate cedarvele it iself it vyould seem now that it might be best to reconsider forget about represen tatives and appoint five residents whom council feels will be interested and effic ent administrators of one of the town s major properties the fact that three organizations have already suggested nominees need not be a stumbling block the three nominees could still be appointed to the board as private citizens rather than organizations appointees the important thing is to get a cedar vale board organized as soon as possible without it becoming a contentious issue

parliament this week some bitter exchanges of words be tween senior members of two maor politi cal parties erupted m a sudden wave of scandal rivalling bnta n s profumo case of a few years back it has all the elements of the cheap est dime thriller canad ans are human beings too and there is no doubt we are relishing the sensationalism ground out by the dailies radio and televis on but complex as we are there is a backwash of distaste for the whole sordid mess too the blackening of a few reputations no doubt already tainted in their own cir earmark for industry council will be wise if it takes steps to earmark at least some of the profits which will accrue from sale of industrial land for purchases of more such land in future opposition to this suggestion last week by the reeve and deputy seemed to be not so much to the idea as to the fact that the surplus over the original purchase price is not clear profit if some of the money must provide services when the land is built on well canada it can instead do nest mable harm to parliament individually and collect ve ly in revealing the feet of clay possessed i by those on whom we count to lead us i a member of parliament is much more than a person he becomes a sort of god who is assumed to naye superior w sdom chosen as a leader he must be assumed to have qual ties above the average run of man to lead a wellordered personal i fe the dorion enquiry dealt a sad blow to our concept on of politics and pol tic ans and their business ethics if now we ere to dredge up details of ottawa s morals it will be one more nait in the political coffin intowweh our parliament is slowly but surely being sealed sugar and spice by bill smiley that march madness eggs o shelves of canned goods no supermarket a few blocks away no heat no

harley to halton ly observations by dr harry harley mp for halton i have a profound respect for poet t s luot but one of his lines that which says april is the cruellest month is pure poppycock he had obviously never spent a march in these parts raw east winds that chap tno hands chill the bones redden the nose deaden the soul third bout o la grippe in three months holes in your over shoes faces of friends be come hateful tailpipe and muf fler gone on the car haves troughs sagging spirits flag ging spring is merely a word in the dictionary winter is a monster clawing jour shoul der if you re

turn as mad a march hares and cut our collective throat if only to add a bit of color to relieve grim grey march but cheer up chaps all is not lost i have a utile thera pcutic theory that works won dcrs it is the only thing that saves me in mdrch from run ning out into the snow in bare feet and long underwear bab clerk lory another dramatic chap r has been written in the his tory ot canada for those who feel that canada is a quiet place where nothing exciting happens and we do hear of people with these feelings the recent happenings in ottawa and in fact for the last four years must come as a rude tw kemng since the election of 1962 we have bad many motions of non confidence in the government of the day we have had many threats of election and in fact three elections since 1062 all this sounds rather unstable for stable country like canada but it was obvious from the re sults of the recent 1965 elect ion that the people of canada voted for and got a minority 1 government rather than a sta ha majority government the iatest chapter m the turbulent political scene act uahy had its beginning last may here was the initial government error in disclosing some details 1 of a apy plot in canada later the man involved identified himself to the press and this mt eoaftcined later by the mm wet of justice when the kct1matbs of the justice department came up in the house recently the oppe- clamwredior an enquiry the government refused to protect security arrangements in canada led by the minis ter of justice the man himself then asked for an enquiry to look into the method of his dis missal and his loss of pension rights the justice minister still refused but was overruled by the prime minister who ag reed to this limited enquiry which would not investigate the security features of the case in addition the prime minister pro mised a general enquiry into the security measures of cana da a move not taken since the famous gouzenko affair back in 1943 the opposition had dur ing the course of the debate moved a nonconfidence motion against the minister of justice a victory here for the opposit ion would have produced an other general election the prime minister therefore ord ered the enquiry as long as it was limited and did not expose the security measures used by the rcmp in investigating the case the opposition withdrew the motion of nonconfidence and the estimates were passed since this occurred the est mates have passed almost as an anticlimax a bible thought for the week and they lifted up their voices and said jesus master have mercy on us luke 17 13 the mercy of god is waiting for every man who is ready to confess his need and plead his case call unto me and i will answer thee and shew thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not in the mail bag inflationary ideas not constructive writer says 14 academy rd much more constructive man march 14 1966 ner the council we have elected to office in this year of grace is faced with problems and de ctsions unparalleled in the pre vious- history of the town never before have issues been so wel ghty so numerous so far rea dung so complex to deal with these issues we have elected men who make no claim to in mr editor in reference to the advertise ment appearing in the latest ed ltion of the herald paid for by a group of taxpayers concerned for the future of georgetown it would appear to at least one other ratepayer that their con cern might be manifest in a fallibility or omniscience and who being human are liable to error nevertheless having put them in office it becomes our duty to accord them our unqua lined support we must believe that they are consistently work ing in the best interests of the electorate and of the town at large to the best of their not inconsiderable ability they therefor deserve our support our encouragement and loyalty they should certainly not be the target of carping criticism petty fault finding and a general downgrading by dim dent citixens the sum total of whose inflationary ideas app ears to be out of all relevance to reality toes money grow on trees after all there must be a point beyond which even ihqsc most affluent taxpayers are un willing to go in unlimited and unconditioned spending bling t s eliot is mad mad i tell you mad i first discovered this theory when i had trouble sleeping after a long evening of too much work too many fags
