hilfiratapayer association proceeds along its present path it should haye a good future and a longer one than any of its predecessors we attended a meeting recently and vwera impressed with the fine organization of their civic night and the thought which tad been put into making the night worth- whole for those attending with almost thirty years gone by a reporter can get jaded and tired and we havent trie same enthusiasm for night meetings that we had in our younger days when one has sat in on municipal council meetings weekly for all those years it is hardly a thrill t6 watchpoliticians a second week night nor did the other fea tures talks on horticulture ambulance dont over organize volunteers hospital giva us too much in centive to attend for as an older george- tpwner- we knowthese details already but so weir was th meeting organized and so ably did each speaker present his story that we found our evening went fast leaned a few things we didnt know beforehand thoroughly enjoyed the time spent so often a ratepayers group tends to become a protest movement continually criticizing politicians in office active at el ection time then fading into oblivion when election fever is gone halton hills is proving that there is a place for a ratepayers group in a new town area and that it can play an important func tion in informing new residents about what georgetown has to offer them without trying to put a crimp into groups who devote their time to providing organized recreation for area young peo- jple we think there is an equal need to give youngsters some free rein of the type we had a generation back scouts and guides hockey and baseball j teams all have their place and we would neyer advocate that they dont do a good j job for youth but if is a paradox that today when selfexpression seems to be taking over our society and authorities tell us that our school system must radically change when university students are demanding a say jin what they will study when parents are t being advised to give their children more head we are tending af the same time to put organized recreation on a pedestal x how many times do we hear adults i say theres nothing for young people to tdo in georgetown intrepid promoter l georgetown could use more men like redasselfine i years back when the idea of a ban- tarn hockey tournament was conceived by i jack gudgeon the idea was peddled to service clubs and other organizations all i were for if but no onerwevldtajceantie tonerous task of organizing i no one that is until red appeared jon the scene and almost singlehanded got jit underway t the tournament now with the added title international has been a growing success story since then red atid his crew carried on until a year ago when the kins jmen club shouldered the job like all success stories the tournament jdidnt just happen it was the result of a jlot of hard work by a lot of people all jof if sparked by the energy and ability of mr asseltine who never takes no for an janswer never considers that there is any jchance of failure and if one helper falters c3 still trying to fill ik the details halton mp rikllwhitinjr reports ottawa it took a high school
