t- r georgetown herald 4 pubbshad by horn ttewspapara limited 22 min sfrf south georg ontario w c ihhn publisher page 4 thursday june 26th 19d9 editorial comment favour more local touch a list of names of prominent canad ians from which future county schools will bo named is not something to which we violently object but we would rather see a local flavour when possible in georgetown we already have three schools with this kennedy named for georgetowns founder- harrison for a fam ily which contributed a principal a teacher and a board secretarytreasurer and wrig- glewsworth named for a principal these are much more appropriate than to have schools named for other canadians no matter how famous who have never been in our town and have no connection with it the same goes for streets local names where possible have a much more import ant connotation and odd local hiitoricaj flavour than to choose national figures a localized name is unique there is no other george kennedy school in canada unless another communi ty olso had a famous citizen by that name with adoption of the new policy it could be quite probable that we could have half a hundred sir john a macdonald or sir wilfred laurier schools perhaps the board will have second thoughts before fi nalizing this new idea business at home where possible a merchant has expresssed concern ab out losing business now that local school boards have been replaced by the larger county unit he finds he says that the vol ume of business he did previously with town and township boards has slowed to a trickle he would like if not to retain a share of the purcrase to at least have an op portunity to quote on the mass orders which he suspects are being placed by the central board he has a point a large share of our georgetown and flip side business is a twoheaded coin and this gives us an opportunity to give some mer chants a bit of advice too all too often those who cry the loudest are ones who dont spend a reasonable am ount of their money in the town where they make it we have known merchants who get their hair cut in the city buy their grocer ies in brampton and their clothes in other communities there are businessmen who never attend local social functions give no suppport to hockey games or little theatre esquesing taxes go for school purposes and in the case of schools and the town office itself a buy at home policy is only right if the school board has not already done so a study should be made of purch asing and some directives given to the bus iness office our suggestion would be that for gen eral purchasing a resident merchant should be favoured wherever possible if substantial savings might be pos sible by bulk buying then a tender should be called with every supplier being given a chance to submit his bid some buy their cars out of town we have heard of at least one man who not only does his personal shopping at a city whole sale house but occassiona lly lets a friend in on this too depriving georgetown merch ants of another customer when one must derive his livelihood from local trade reciprocity is the best means of ensuring business success a mer chant should go out of his way to stock up with gas before he leaves on a long trip to buy as many of his grooeries here and take them to the cottage to patronize his fellow businessmen in every possible way haltarimp rudlwhiting reports frail the official languages l then given second reading bill which at the time of wri ting this column has not receiv ed third and final reading in the house is expected to pass before the summer recess on june 27 this particular bill has been one of the more inter esting pieces of legislation in troduced during this session i say this not because of the purpose and the content of this bill alone but it revealed how the new committee system has been developed since the new rules and procedures went into effect at the beginning of this year another point that was thoroughly dispelled was the contention that members of parliament are like sheep and ojlowthe party line in this instance it was not an individual but a group who broke ranks with their party mr stanfield and a number of his followers sup ported the bill but some of the western conservatives voted ag ainst the bill and made their op inions known in the house and is debated at this stage members commend it criticize it and amendments are introduced and a vote is taken from here it goes to a standing committee of the louse or a special com mittee of the house for further consideration it is at this stage when members of parliament are given a real opportunity to voice their individuality this was especially true of the lan guages bill in this stage twenty nine amendments were approv ed personally i approved of this bill although it may never affect the people of halton i felt this was a measure that would mean much to th unity of canada the knowledge that language rights are available to people will mean more than the amount that these rights will be used sometimes we have something but do not use it too often it is just good to know we have it of 1966 which has recently been lifted the lengthy duration has been damaging from a business aspect as well as prestige the issue has had wide spread pub licity from time to time and we hope the hatchet will remain buried i have recorded in the form of a diary the development of the rosslake complex since its inception in 1965 and would like to submit from my diary the excerpts relative to the con troversy and its resolution june 5 i am expecting an inspection tour of our resort by the moh and two of his in pectors at 2 pm june 6 it was a congenial meettnfe the four of us toured the airport runway and horse trail which took us to the beach we strolled around the swim area the dam and the island this was the first visit by the moh he offered no criticisms or suggestions as we sat down on a picnic bench by a fire place viewing the water and bush in the background he re marked this is a very beauti ful place from now on it will be classified as a swim area of the beach style and not as a pool similar to the indoor type our meeting reminded me of an armlsuee this was the end of the battle of the water it was here we smoked the pipe of peace we watched the birds fly to the bush to find their young and
