georgetown herald 22 main street s georgetown ontario thursday march 24th 196 editorial comment las call a hah helton residents should take decisive action against the latest moneyspending by county council a aunt to europe for three as yet unnamed mefrnber of this governmental hierachy the trip is ostensibly to make a study of how municipal government operates in various european countries practically it will amount to little more than a pleasure trip for the lucky men it is nkely that for ten or twenty dol lars the county could buy a book which would g metre information in one read ing than the accurrtu1atedfcriowedge the- threesome will garner on their unket if county councillors were not well paid already for their public duties we could blink an eye at such a trip it could bel ike the wardens dinner originally was a token gift for public service rendered today like most other things public service gets its rewards in cold hard cash along with the glory which seemed to suf fice men of a previous generation misconception in tests numerous people were unnecessarily worried when after a tb skin test a red welt developed on their arm indicating a positive reaction those who returned to the dime a week later as directed found that their alarm was unfounded true an x ray was then necessary but once an xray revealed no trace of the disease they now find themselves in the happy position of know ng they are completely immune a positive reaction simply meant that one has been exposed to tb and if an x ray reveals nothing that he has successful ly overcome any tendency to harbour the germs unfortunately we have heard that a number of people testing positive became ostriches and declined to submit to an x even if we assumed that the travellers wquld gain d modicum of useful informs tion the wrong people are being sent if such a trip it feasible at all it should be longterm employees of ihe county coun cillors hold office at the yearly whims of the voters and tt it quite possible that the tnpsters won t even be around next janu ery to impart their knowledge to the coun ty the warden s dinner is another or our pet peeves once upon a time it was given at the wardens expense for council here and there a fewfrtejids were added muniti pal officials a small grant was established to defray expenses suddenly like the cam el county council voted money for the whole big shindig and the taxpayers were stuck with yd one more unnecessary ex pene we are becoming more and more per turbed at men who talk economy on one hand then vol themselves fat little bon uses from the public pocketbook ray without this they can never be com pletely sura that they are immune and a great deal of the success of the clinic is news echoes 20 end yeats aajo 10yeaxsago ttia oak v
