BEATTIL Advertising Manager PHONE 2201 Second Dm Mall Number Page TltbltFRAID Wednesday October 1DSI Fitting name for new theatre It is a time for admiration and reflection as well as gratitude when the community pays tribute to one of its most respected citizens Posthumous honors to former mayors like John Armstrong and Joseph Gibbons founding fathers like George Kennedy and community organizers like Gordon have reminded Georgetown residents that the facilities and lifestyles they enjoy today are the legacies of several key individuals who years ago took the time to think about their town future Such is the case with the late John Elliott in whose honor the theatre portion of the new arts com plex has been named The official designation of the John Elliott Theatre was prompted directly by a substantial donation from his estate to the arts complex fund but there are more pertinent reasons making the new facility a name an demably fitting tribute A Royal Canadian Navy veteran who set himself up in business after serving as CN station master in town Mr Elliott was one of those peculiarly concerned private citizens who went public with for town council His interest and involvement in the com mumty rose steadily over the next seven years As councillor deputy reeve and reeve Mr Elliott was a member of several organizational and legislative civic bodies which helped lay the groundwork for Halton Hills as we know it today he even helped plan the regional administration building As a founding member of the Georgetown Volunteer Ambulance Service and a volunteer worker for the local Red Cross and Children s Aid Society branches he helped establish the well practiced network of essential social services upon which a smaller community like Georgetown must depend of the Royal Canadian Legions Branch the Lions Club and the Mr Elliott helped lay the cultural framework on which Georgetown service clubs con tmue to build whether bringing us an nual entertainment or raising funds for causes need As the founder of Georgetown Terminal Warehouse on Armstrong Avenue which his widow and children still operate Mr Elliott established something of a precedent for in and family run businesses his plant quickly extending itself into the book distribution trade The involvement of his two daughters in the Terminal Warehouse is only partially indicative of the family legacy Mr Elliott has con tributed Both Lois and are deeply involved in the fine arts the former as a singer in her own right and the latter recently as a major fund raiser for the arts complex Their ef forts in both areas reflect their father s own love of music as well as business Finally there is the promise of twin scholarship funds being established by the Elliott family for Georgetown high school students one in theatre arts and one in music They are an investment in the community cultural future involving financial en couragement that could eventually put some talented local young people on the stage of the theatre that bears Mr Elliott s name Our grateful thanks to the Elliott family and our sincere appreciation for the late community leader s foresight We 11 all benefit from

Liberal Leader Claude Ryan stood before his party general council and without mincing a word declared hat angle- hones who continue to hope for mguoge equality in that province are living in a designated dreamland Such equality he announced simply will never occur And the austere Liberal leader dldn t stop there either He relieved himself of one of the strong est speech es he has ever delivered about clal rights and the need tor voters to put the interest of Quebec ahead of other Incidental consideration Wo must not forget our primary tment Is f rst and foremost to Quebec he told his audience We must clearly affirm our Intention to build in Quebec a distinctly French Premier Rene Levesque who has much more practice in his field could not have said it better himself And perhaps It was because sounded so much like Levesque that the eyebrows were raised from one end of Canada the other The Globe and Mall for nstance plastered Ryan comments over Its frontpage AndtheCBChosaficldday ask the Liberal leader o explain his apparent conversion to Quebec nationalism NOTiflNCNbU What former newspaper explained patient detail was thai he was merely changing When his full text was examined he would there was really nothing very revolutionary In All he was doing was remind h followers that they were And yes he was still a committed federalist and yes he still opposed Levesque sovereignly at on You see it s a very del s when you get Into discussion about Quebec nationalism and had to be extremely careful with a explanations But I suspect at If he had his druthers and he I afraid of being n he would have said thai this speech In possibly Wronger terms should have been del a year ago Had Claude Ryan taken that type of approach into he last ro election campaign he mlgll well be premier of Quebec Instead he con to fight the association referendum devoting on amount of time to the defence of federalism while permitting he politic luxury of putting Quebec first And all he time that Ryan was mourning creditable defence on behalf of federalism was accusing of being nothing more than a for Pierre Given the circumstances was a difficult accusation to shrug off too ate ft Intriguing to wonder Just what might have happened if Ryan had entered that election campaign with that si rr ng Quebec first speech hat has finally come o his lips Had he spent less lime trying to be philoso phical about renewed federalism and more time talking protecting he Jurisdictional rights of w no or things would have been far more difficult for What the campaign was reduced to was a Quebec nationalist fighting an almost apologetic federalist As himself said With its false and insidious propaganda the has often succeeded in twisting our real purpose so hat Important segments of the population believe we arc reactionaries who would put Quebec back into the stone age Now that Ryan has obviously set out counter this propaganda political oratory might never be quite the same again In other words might hear much more about federalism But then again perhaps thai the only way federalism can win Elgie ties labor equality to his managers futures
