Mustering forces in the Senate Home Newspaper of Halton Hills AUGUSTS 1B7B A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Main SI South Georgetown L7G Ontario WILLIAM Publisher BOB BUTTER Editor Second I Good work Georgetown s downtown business improvement area executive should be complimented on the manner in which it has worked diligently to pass its five year plan through the red tap associated with approvals at various stages Traffic islands part of the overall scheme to improve Main Street will llIUlHitlitf be tested sometime within the nexr year And when the testing is com the plan hopefully will be instituted in its entirety Signs pointing to the downtown and located on access locations for traffic travelling through Georgetown will be installed as soon as an adequate agreement is reached with town officials for their installation Action must be taken soon to ensure that the progressive feeling of unity that can be derived from the association is readily felt and that steps are being made toward its ultimate aim For that reason alone council should act expediently to ensure that the signs are erected soonest and that the traffic islands are installed As a further indication of the progressive nature of the executive and membership of the Georgetown association the Burlington Gazette last week ran a full page feature on the effort taken by the local chants for the annual Pioneer Days promotion The article is reprinted on our second front page It i noteworthy Liidl Burlington merchants are now in the midst of determining whether to establish a BIA Ombudsman again seeks increased funds Park Bureau Ombudsman Arthur Maloncy just cm I o resist empires latest report fourth the most moderate and temperate of the But This time Maloncy wants to branch out into setting up a regional in Stc Mine with satellite offices in North Boy Sudbury Thunder Bay and Kenora At present the ombudsman operates olely out of Toronto Staff required for the new

took the life of Jesus our forgiveness depends on what we believe about it Christ died for our sins hearings and transportation Toronto AtTUU It Naturally it would not eliminate these just that new northern offices would assume responsibility The justification for this sudden growth Is that the ombudsman office received per cent more complaints from the North than one would expect on the of population In real terms thai complaints or SO per proposed office spread across one year Moloney whose regal have helped him acquire the nickname King Arthur around Queen Park has tried Ihc imperial

government boards of education children aid municipalities and even lied dn I get his wish parlly because his irritiied and partly because he was way over budget Whit makes one really wonder about the latest surge by ombudsman office is the comments Miloncy made in same report existing and relatively new ministry of Northern Affairs II was set up to dial exclusively Northern needs and problems The ombudsman office is increasingly impressed by excellence of the service provided by the representatives of Northern Affairs SYV In fact they perform an incredibly useful function and they extend fullest coopt rat Ion to this office Why then do we need ombudsman a offices Affairs officers Irained to handle problems and complaints of citizens Before ixpandinf to North however Miloney will write

four ago painted to a spring election And three months ago pointed to an early summer election And of course wo have that helpful hint from Prime Minister Trudeau that we should all keep our thoughts
