editors corner subsidize the cas man xhe jiecessity of a plan for conserving existing gas and oil supplies for vital war needs and of releasing transportation facilities for war purposes is something with which the canadian people have no argument there ia however one phase of the situation which we have heard little comment about either from our parliamentary representatives or from contempor ary publicationsconcerning the plight of those thous ands of citizens whose daily bread is earned or was earned in operating service stations and garages that the new early and sunday closing regulations and the extensive advertising campaign now in progress will effect these businessmen can readily be seen if the government achieves its objective oi reducing cana dian gas consumption by 50 of the present amount used it takes no higher mathematics to deduce that the income from gas sales of service station and garage operators will be cut in half i doestne government owe something to these citizens most emphatically we believe it does for a many years they have beeh encouraged in their busi nesses and have contributed no small amount to the government in the form of- licenses and taxes as well as in helping to produce the revenue from gas and oil taxes if their income is to be reduced to the point where they cannot operate their places of business what is going to happen to them the government has in the past been generous with certain other classes of business in the country providing bonuses and subsidies where they deem it necessary at present farmers in the western provin ces are being paid a bonus for not producing wheat be cause wheat is not needed why not pay the gas man a bonus for not selling gas because gas is needed advertising georgetown in the past two weeks we have been frequently in touch with raymond arthur davies a freelance writer who is in town gathering material for a forth coming article on georgetown in which he plans to use our town as the basis of an article on the war effort of a small town mr davies has travelled extensively and seems equally at home writing about science history econo mics or human interest stories as an example of the latter with his permission we are reprinting this week an article from the july issue of the farmers maga zine in which he tells of hunters inn it is a reflection on us that it took a stranger to introduce us to the gastronomical delights of the inn the fame of which has spread far beyond the confines of our town true we had always intended to have a meal there some sunday but like so many other things we had put if off until at mr davies invitationfljp took the opportunity of enjoying the good things which the hunters provide that mr davies article helped to advertise georgetown is attested by the fact that several guests at hunters inn in recent weeks have remarked on read ing it his coming article which will appear in a well- known publication will do in a general way what the previous article did specifically advertise georgetown we awaitit with interest far fields look greener it often takes a stranger to discover remarkable things about a town and its inhabitants which in our close association we never realize are outoftheway mr davies in the course of a few days visit was brimming with interesting oddsandends of infor mation of which your editor was entirely unaware do you know the man that corresponds with george ber nard shaw do you know that the family can trace their ancestry back to the 16th century were two of the questions he put to us blushingly we admitted that we did not like the old proverb far fields look greener and while we are quick to sense news in other parts of the land we miss these things which are at our door- steps every day give them a hand a citizen remarked to us on thursday that he was disappointed at the lack of enthusiasm expressed by the attendants at the red cross garden party for the band concert which opened the program there was little applause he observed even for their splendid rendition of therell always be an england in fact when i clapped my hands i felt icind of guilty when people turned to look at me we dont for a minute think that this lack of audible appreciation means that georgetown people v4v- arent proud of their band and that theydont enjoy hearing it play perhaps its not the finest th the land as macnamara boasts in his song hut we all know that its a firstrate aggregation and a- distinct credit to the community it represents perhaps weve just grown too used to hearing it and think that it isnt necessary to show our appre ciation by applauding but it is necessary any job welldone deserves to be given credit and the finest way we can show our liking for the brand of music turned out by the lome scots band is to give them a hand everytime goes on around georgetown and olen williams i am therefore very fortun ate to be able to keep up with tfae cutws each week although away
