dlvulon of the cwniv fre editors corner the vandalistic pubuc rena chandler writing in the home forum on the globe and mails homemaker pare makes some pertinent comments about the vandalistic public in which she draws attention to the lack of regard for cleanliness and order among we canadians it is a sad fact thut the natives of one of the moat beautiful count tries in the world are entirely lacking in thoughtfulness when it comes to keeping our public parks our streets and highways neat and attractive a glimpse of georgetowns main street especially after wednesday or saturday night is ample evidence of this and it cant all be blamed on the children either it is some thing in which every citicn must cooperate if we are to have beautiful clean streets free of refuse the best formula we know is one that we ourselves have adopt ed when we finish a package of cigarettes or a choco late bar we tuck the discarded container in a pocket until we reach n convenient receptacle at home or in the office why not try it boy scouts for georgetown we must apologue to two little boys who left a letter to the editor at the office severil weeks ago the letter was subsequently mislaid and only this week turned up again do you not think that georgetown should have a boy scout pack the letter reads we do we would oppreciate it ery much if the town would help us organize a pack we finish this letter in hopes that georgetown will soon have a boy scout pack yours sincerely two friends recently boy scout week was celebrated and it was interesting to hear the tribute paid to this or ganization on most of the american network pro grams reaching listeners ocr here it was pointed out that in the present crinis boy scouts are using their training in practical things such as fire fighting to re lease men and womn for other defence work perhaps this is a matter which should occupy the attention of the low fathers there is no better way to keep our youngsters occupied at useful tasks and learning how to be good citizens than in boy scout work and it should pay dividends in citizenship and juvenile health if a lively scout organization were thriving here finis this week winds up unother hockey season its been a thrilling one with lots of good clean sport and a dearth of nasty incidents to mar our pleasant recollections of the games like every other town georgetown was not able to ice a team of home brews but we think it was worth importing some re placements to keep the game alive in town the local brain trust slipped up in our estimation in not nab bing joe schertzl who was good enough for boston bruins to be interested in the norval lad has had a good season with milton juniors and it seems too bad that a boy who had learned his hockey with george town minor teams should be playing for the county town when the scouts hunted him out however milton juniors were organized this season before georgetown was even sure of having a team so we couldnt do much about it the three special trains to gait will be talked about for a long time one fan who ia poascased of a sparkling sense of humour has contributed a classic account of his experiences on the last one which readers will find on this weeks sport page it gave us a good many chuckles and we know that everyone particu larly those who made the trip will enjoy his repartee another feature of the hockey season was playoff palaver written by a feminine fan our only regret is that this young lady didnt embark on her journalis tic endeavours earlier in the season to give us the girls angle on the
