georgetown herald ruuaiwi by hnw nwifam umlmd 22 main street south gor0tewn ontirio w c mhn pumblur page 4 thursday march 9th 1947 editorial comment centennial ideafc if e district organization is seeking moderate centennial prooct one idea which hoi been suggested is the provision of benches in greenwood cemetery aubrey grant who heads committee which is planning a decoration day service in the cemetery this year tell us that sev eral people have mentioned this as a fea ture which could be used in the cemetery often people go on foot to visit the grave of a loved one and rest benches at strategic locations in the grounds would be most welcome this is something which could be hand- ted individually or collectively by one or more organizations good substantial stone or painted wooden benches which could atand the weather would be needed and tt would be possible to have a ckgmf ied metal plaque on each bench acknowledging the donor the cemetery is one of ontario fin est thanks to the excellent maintenance and tasteful planning of the cemetery board and superintendent harry savings memorial bencnts would make it that much more at tractive as well as filling a utilitarian pur pose for the public welcome industrial news announcement that georgetown t pro vincial paper mill will be producing a high grade kromecoat stock in future is wel come news on the industrial scene too often we are prone to exult when new industry locates here and overlook improvements and additions to our long established factories which have provided the backbone of georgetowns economy the paperrmlls are particularly impor tant for they have been with us almost since georgetown was any size during depression years when many communities were hard hit the paper industry wet rela tively steady and helped this town avoid much of the heartbreak which prevailed in the province as town after town went bank rupt there was one blow when the old low er mill was closed and the manufacture of paper was discontinued in town but to offset this both coated mills provincial and domter have had steady growth added floor space and modem machinery to keep our reputation as the paper town we look forward to continuing pros perity and a bright future for these two old industries which have kept generations of georgetowners profitably employed harley tq halton weakly oburvahont by dr htrry hariay mp for hahon barrel jumping championships long merchandising career death of james richardson ended one of the longest merchandising careers in georgetown mr richardson entered the hardware business here in 1928 at an age when most men are starting to look forward to retire ment and to prove the adage life be gins at 40 he continued active until the age of 90 he beat most merchants to work m the morning was late to leave at night and retained a spry step and a dry sense of hu mour along with a thorough knowledge of his business when it was no longer pos- sibe for him to go to the store he kept in touch at home and never lost interest in the merchandising game his career embraced three fields be fore hardware he had been a pharmacist then a grocery merchant and despite a busy life in business here he found time to serve on such groups as the arena board end hockey club exec utive his long life indicates that hard work never hurt anyone there is no ob more taxing on one s energy than operating i large retail store in his eighties mr ri chardson was still hopping up and down stairs like a teenager mounting a ladder to get to the bins where nails and hard ware supplies were stored when he oined the crest organization he converted his store from an old style hardware to a mod ern self serve keeping abreast with mod ern developments he was a man who knew and loved his job served the public well and was rewarded wth a continuing patronage which made his store one of the best in the community sugar and spice by bill smiley rest content ing goals and pursuing them fiarcaly ho mid that if you got up monday morning and hated th though of going to work you thould switch into some thing im he talked about money giv but his talk troubled me change the terms slightly and what do you have it was ag alnst everything i believe and try to teach and don t be surprised if ou bear ive bcn fired i don t believe for example in efficiency and having a clean desk except in a general way that is doing your job i would find it extremely dif flcult to say baxter your sales are slipping you re fired there s nothing id this world that i hate doing more than going to work monday morning the only goal ive ever pursued fiercly is my wife when i fell for her and shes been punu ing me fiercely ever since there s room for people like us friend today i received the supreme accolade another teacher who uses my room told me the girls of 10l and they are no jinstems said mr smiley looks nice but ho sure has an untidy desk i rest content the main event on parli ament hill this week wu of course the tabling of the car ter commission report on tax atlon it was tabled early fri day evening as is customary for budget and financial mat tera in this way the stock ex changes are closed and sudden fluctuations on the market are avoided it is certainly too early to comment on the full iropli cations of the many changes proposed in this voluminous document it consists of fl volumes and weighs approftim ately 15 pounds the report is based on the philosophy that a dollar earned anywhere and in anyway should be treated like any other dollar and declared as income and be subject to in come tax this is reasonable but makes it obvious that the tom missions recommendations must be treated as a whole it would not be fair to this basic princip le or to certain groups of tax payers to treat it otherwise in a piecemeal fashion i am in agreement with the principles of the carter commission port on taxation a great deal of my time has been spent recently in pre paring the report of thi special committee on drug cosu and prices the hearings have new been concluded and th many witnesses heard ani their vie points documented it is now the committees responsibility to consider all of thes varying opinions and make our rccom mendations for reducing drug costs and prices to parliament- it is most urgent thjt this re port be presented to parliam cnt before the end of this ses sion it la hoped therefore that the committee members win consider the report urgently and finalize it quickly as chairman of this com mittee i have received many letters concerning the high price of drugs from people in all walks of life many include examples of prices that have been paid for drugs one of the most disturbing letters recently showed copies of receipts for two purchases of the same pros cription a few months apart there was a 30 increase in the price of the second purchase over the first purchase a note of explanation on the second receipt stated the increase was due to the recent increase m federal sales tax the increase was 1 the purchaser was ex pected to believe that a 1 in crease in lax at the manufact urers level could cause a price increase of 30 at the drug store level needless to say the purchaser wrote the committee concerning this incrcast it is sincerely hoped that the recom mendations of the committee on drug costs and prices will be implemented and tint a sig- nificant decrease in the price of drugs will result because of this some 80 young people from abroad and about 300 young canadians will participate in an international youth conference called rendezvous 67 at cuta way in august these young people are members of the world red cross youth move ment kerrs column mp p rtports to gsersjetoww from queens park in my contribution throne speech of the ontario legislature last month i dealt with some of the problems of the niagara escarpment and efforts to preserve its natural beauty i suggested that a pro vincial agency or commission be established to plan and con trol quarry operations particu larly on the face of the escarp ment i have received substantial mail regarding una subject and 3 note that the township of uassagaweya council has pass ed a resolution requesting top to stone extraction on the escarpment the stone extract ion has more than doubled in the last ten years and the rate la likely to increase rapidly as available sand and gravel ourccs ire depleted and the demand for stone increases ac cordingly recently i received from the minister of mines trhich contains some very in tercsting information regard ing the industry in our area the memo points out that lime stone resources at the crest of the escarpment are one of oat trios most important stone re sources further that mineral production in the area between coronto hamilton lndoding stone sand and gravel portland tement gypsum and clay prod nets had i total value of near ly eighty million dollar in 1965 rhis is second only to e one of the leading sxtnarai roducera in the province the the areas in the vicinity of toronto and hamilton has made it in creasingly difficult to develop essential deposits of construct ion materials due to zoning re strictions and competition for land use the principal mineral resour ces for the niagara escarpment are the lockport dolomite the whirlpool sandstone and tits queenston shale the lockport dolomite forms the eap rock of the niagara escarpment and is widely quarried as the source of crushed stone for concrete aggregate road atone and flux stone there are about 18 quarries situated on the niagara escarp ment and about 7 of them are located at the brow of the es carpment the minister of mines feels that due to the im portance of the industrial min eral resources of the niagara escarpment to the erban econ omy it it recommended that no further restrictions be placed on their development for future construction requirements oth erwise it may be necessary to import some of these essential products however x still feel the face of the escarpment can be pre- lerved without unreasonably inhibhinf the- quarry industry or its production requirements it is mainly utter of
