georgetown herald pubmwd by horn nmnpapaniumkwl 22 main skmt south o ontario w ctaw thursday june 39th 967 editorial comment township should share from time to time mention has been made of the facilities which town pays for and operates for urge number of citi zen other than it residents this week we heard e complaint that a georgetown man was unable to register his child in swimming classes because they were already filled he feets that george town people should either be given prior- hy or the township should pay a share to wards upkeep of the community swimming pool the problem has two sides of course georgetown people will argue that hey create and pay for such facilities and if used by others there should either be a higher fee or the township should contribute a yearly amount from its tax treasury whenever this is proposed township residents will argue back that they through their shopping indkectly help to raise georgetown s taxes by helping to keep merchants m business this latter argument we feel was mora valid a couple of decades ago when mote traffic was not so common and when far mers tended to combine a onceewaak trip to town with a social outing today we have a growing number of rural residents who are not farmers and who travel farther for their purchases not necessarily restricting these to our town and as they increase in numbers our rec reational and cultural facilities are becom ing overtaxed our library board seeks higher and higher grants we offer a swimming pool in summer and an arena in winter there no reason why esqueslng should not share in costs of these the same as they do for high school costs and fire protection rural residents should not feel that they are being taken advantage of if geor getown insists on this it should be strict ly a business proposition an equitable ar rangement with mutual trust on both sides towards a proper sharing of costs idm0im6 amtfeoay t that i courtesy in emergencies humans are curious and tragedy al ways draws a crowd sunday was no exception and cars streamed to the norval hill drawn by the small fire truck and ambulance as thev sped to the scene of a drowning fatality unfortunately some people ate thought less and they tended to drive to the scene park their cars along the highway or in any convenient spot wrthout heed to the traf- an ambulance volunteer has asked us welcome new plant although not yet a large employer of labour georgetowns newest factory is a decided asset to town and wilt be even more so in future at present the dennison building is mainly a distribution centre for the wide variety of products which this old establish ed firm produces in its quebec factory however when company officials ervt tertained civic officials last week at an of ficial opening ceremony they indicated that some manufacturing is planned in george toln and that before the yearend the plant staff will be augmented to remind readers that they can quite inno cently hold up rescue operations and says that as the ambulance hurried to the hospi tal siren sounding many motorists declin ed to veer to the side and allow its best speed on the errand of mercy it would be well for all of us to keep in mind if we visit the scene of a tra gedy to park our cars well away to stand aslda and let those who are trained for their ob work to the best advantage a little
