editor j boley member of the canadian weekly newspaper assodapon and the ontarloquebec division of the cwj4a the editors corner how to be a good neighbour perhaps the nicest compliment that can be paid to a man is to be known as a good neighbour and it is something within reach of great and small a thing which money cannot buy the popular conception of a good neighbour is one who helps out in time of 3ick ness or trouble and while this has its importance there is also another factor which is sometimes overlooked our idea of a good neighbour is one who keeps his home m fine condition so that it is a credit to the street and to the town a few flowers a wellcared for lawn and a house in good repair makes one a solid citi zen and one who is greeted with a smile when he walks down the street there are many such homes in george town in fact so few are the other type that we might be known as a town of good neighbours this fact is proven when you look at the number of city people who have settled m town in recent years people who have been impressed by the neatness and cleanliness of georgetown- so keep up the good work folks and continue to take a pride in the appearance of your home it will pay dividends m good neighbourliness and make you a good citizen in a thriving community 12 02 this is the time of year when your neighbors start the ritual of closing the living room windows at dusk and through them you can see the truly friendly lights instead of hearing the merely familiar radios this is he season when the cries of children m the deepening light of after supper time make you think of matthew arnold s nostalgic poem on rugby chapel and the sweet sounds of a few boys late at their play instead of how much nicer you would think the jenkins joneses if only die would keep the bois terous jenkins jones juniors in their own back yard this is the moment when you grasp the handle of the furnace door like the hand of an old friend when the prospect of a tussle with the ash barrel only awakes an anticipatory pride of masculine prowess and when the usual sate of the cellar seems to offer an interest ing and genially challenging opportunity for what the international experts call rehabilitation the leaves on the front lawn suggest pleasantly pungent bonfires in stead of hours of too much raking the chill in the air stimulates thoughts about open fireplaces soft chairs good books this is the time or it was the time at 1 2 02 sept 23rd and presumably lasted a few minutes for at that moment autumn came in in these parts may be some stray breath of cool air above a foxhole some cast of the sky over a distant sea some wandering leaf on a paris pavement some southward bird over the battle lines blessed even a busy fightingman with that momentary but indispensable feeling which comes to human beings at the year s homing time christian science monitor fair musings last week the editorial column was written be fore the fair commenced but we cannot let it go by al together without comment a beautiful autumn day brought forth a wonderful crowd and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely at what has been aptly described as the best fair in years i the hall exhibits were first class looking at the winning stalks of the corn husking contest our eyes kept travelling up and up until we finally came to the top of these amazingly fine specimens it look a long time to get around the hall for every few minutes we d run into another friend or acquaintance a general loolc around the hall revealed that nearly everyone there was doing the same thing looking at the displays while chatting with friends just metsthereby deriving a double pleasure the whole atmosphere of that par tlcular section can only be found one place right in the show hall of a country fair there we find a spirit of pleasure and satisfaction that our city brethren can not hope to duplicate the midway attractions were larger this year than

parton secretary robert stream of interested fair goers could be seen making a tour of inspection in common with a lot of other people at the fair immediately afterward we suffered from a feeling of

look back and reiterate our first impression since corro borattd by ill the people we have talked to since it was a grand tair may we have many more last week the globe mail commented editor lally on a great rural institution and the leading piragraph of the editorial dealt wi h georgetown thus tlu 9oth annual tall fair of georgetown which was held last saturday was a reminder of the important pirt played by such exhibitions in town and rural life of ontario several of the fall fairs of this pro met have been in exis ence for more than a cen tury and many have operated for more than 90 years this is convincing evidence both of the service they render and of the appreciation of their patrons they demonstrat what is best in live stock and field crops and promote he community spirit no finer class of citizens is to be found than the men and women of rural ontario who wrest their living from the land they have great love of country combined with nre industry and optimism in the face of rainy discouragements georgetown is growing there are three things a town can do go back wards stay put or ro ahead we all know that george town belongs to the latter class and one has only to talk with the bankers real estate men and lawyers o realize just how our town is prospering it will be a good sight to those several hundred men overseas when they come back home o see how the town has improved to see new industries where employment will be available to know that we have a board of trade a legion branch and a 1 own council which have been making plans for them but no matter how much georgetown may grow it is to be hoped that we will keep the features of a small town which make country life attractive a cheery hello to friend and stranger alike an interest in the welfare of our fellow citizens a civic pride which makes everyone ready and willing tp do their bit in community enterprise is what makes small town living worthwhile georgetown is growing but lets grow from a small
