georgetown herald famnnm by homs mowafkapoto umnoo 22 main street south georgetown ontario n wcm thursday june 8 19a7 editorial comment room for lawn bowlers with golf so much the rage today people tend to forget one of the oldest and most satisfying of ontario s summer sports lawn bowling georgetown has an attractive welu ttred for bowling green which has been in operation for years with growth of the town there should be a waiting list of members but instead the dub operates with small but enthusiastic nucleus of men end women ready to welcome others to their ranks white both men and women can play in the daytime it is hie ladies who tend to play afternoons with men and mixed cou ples playing in the evening events are arranged with other dubs in the district to make the season wellrounded happy time the principles of lawn bowling are much like those of curling a winter sport which has almost become ontario s nation al sport surely there must be many curlers who would welcome this summer recrea tion wmch can be worked in under lights to allow a bit of home gardening in the early evening what little we know about lawn bowl ing we have observed that it is one of the friendliest of games participants have time to chat a little while they bow anctthere is much more sociability than in golf stop by the club on edith street one of these nights and try your hand graduation time is here this is a happy time of year for ad vanced students who are finishing univer sity teachers college and nursing courses nd entering the working world the herald is anxious not to miss any f the successful graduates in news and pictures a number of successful graduates ppenr in this week s issue if by change we missed anyone would you do us the favour of letting us know immediately time was when the town was smaller nd we kept a list of those about to grad uate a community of over 15 000 makes typing an asset whether a student continues his edu cation following high school or whether he enters the working world immediately ne distinct asset he should acquire is the wiry to operate a typewriter sometimes it is possible to take typing s an option at high school if so we rec ommend this to students next fall if this cant be arranged then there ore semmer courses available at business colleges specially tailored to local bus time tables it is possible to teach yourself typ ing at home but it is difficult to acquire the necessary self discipline to reach a success ful conclusion at a modest cost the business college will keep you on the track and your home practice will be directly tied in to the course this now a difficult chore some people move to town while their son or daughter it attending university and we have no re cord of their high school graduation on which to check back local young people may work a year or two after high school then decide on advanced education and we don t hear about it at the time there is no better news for our read ers than to hear of the aoadem c success of young district residents if you know of someone whose picture d d not appear in this issue please let us know you may never use you typ ng sk ills at work but most people can use it in their after hours activities when one is secre tary of a social dub press secretary for an organization it is invaluable tthere are pubic services you can render at red cross blood clinics and tb clinics and if like many of us your handwriting is not the most readable your friends appreciate a typed letter for those students continuing their ed ucation after high school typing becomes almost a necesssrty university essays are required to be submitted in typewritten form the copious notes required in most courses become a hopeless umble unless they are transcribed on a typewriter and h is costly if one must hire a typist each time an essay is to be submitted barber mill pioneered shipping paper by rail the mountain climbers sugar and spice by bill smiley take pen in hand whals the most common question being batted about the country thesa days that s right are you going to expo the may 1967 edition of the pulp and paper magazine of- canada in a story on trans portation difficulties in the paper industry aays that the first railway shipment of pa per was by flat car from ge orgetown to toronto it ducribes the operation as follows packing and snipping me thods were relatively crude and the fearful banging about which the loosely coupled freight can suffered plajed havoc with their contents 1 consider the problems in volved in the following case of a piper shipment to toron to it was the first paper ship ment made from the barber mill in georgetown and con sisted of three carloads of wrapping paper consigned to buntm brothers and company but what carloads the year appears to be 1653 or possibly 1854 during the time the toronto and gueiph rail way was being built this railway which was taken over by tha grand trunk in 1853 and completed to gueiph in 1856 was still in tha construc tion stage and no regularly scheduled trains were being operated to toronto despite these difficulties the paper was loaded on three of the flat can being used in constr uction work and covered with tarpaulin because of the real danger of fire from sparks cascading from tha stacks of the wood burning locomotives buckets of water and travelled three of the barber boys boarded the cars with several along to toronto as a volun teer fire brigade with almost certainly the first shipment of paper in upper canada hi neighb service greets 2umxre

consideration of estimates which is the detailed examina tion of purposed government spending for the year ending the 31 march 1968 several gov ernment departments are under consideration at the present time it is generally expected that the most of the month of june will be given over to such study by the house of commons there will be a few bills to be considered bu these will be noncontroversial with the pos bible exception of the resolut ion to remove mr justice lan drevillc from the supreme court this matter will be intro duced in the senate next week and will then be debated in the house of commons it is ex pected that this resolution will carry and then the governor general will order his removal from the bench it may well be that during the debate the jus tice may be granted permission to speak at the bar of the chamber of the house of com mons as he also requested this will be a precedence in the canadian house it is expected that the house of commons will recess at the end of june or early july for the summer so that mem hers of panament may be in their own constituencies for the majority of their communities centennial events it would then return early ui the fall for consideration of legislation having concluded or nearly con eluded the estimates of govern ment spending in june in answer to my request for the opinions of constituents on vietnam and on canadian policy on this issue including the hon w gordons speech on it if wished i have had some expressions of opinion the ma jority are against american po licy there and wish canada

comment ana i will keep the constituents infor med on this matter mps survey shows 90 gordon opinion about 80 per cent of the hal- ton residents who have written their mp dr harry harlay to express their views on vietnam support the stand of walter gordon and generally oppose the stand of the united states dr liar ley who invited opin ions on the war three weeks ago said he has not received a great response so far but u ex pecting more letters within tha next few days the halton mp said some let ter3 were very brief while oth ers ran to four or five pages and indicated a lot of thought and time had gone into their composition dr harley said he will wel come more letters on the sub- ject and has no plans to con duct a similar enquiry into tha middle east situation georgetown herald
