georgetown- rehabilitation council have been making personal calls on all servicemen re turning from overseas this serves as an official wel come home from the community and we think the boys have appreciated it now with men returning in larger and larger groups the committee s job has become too comphcat ed to continue as in the past and a new system has been devised from now on every returned man will re ceive a post card in the mail asking him to meet the committee and naming the place time and date this will ensure that no serviceman is missed and that none of trie lads who have done so much for us wll fail to receive a proper welcome home georgetown shares civic reception when the 1st canadian parachute battalion ar rived in halifax last week it was the first overseas bat tahon to return to canada as a unit and the first time the eastern city could give the troops the proper kind of a welcome home from halifax the battalion was split into detachments for each of the military districts and on saturday morning the 350 man detachment for md 2 arrived in toronto and was given a reception there by the city fathers georgetown was represented in the detachment by sgt jim sargent the only dis trict man to our knowledge who served overseas with the paratroops we are glad that at least one georgetown man has had the kind of welcome he deserves it symbolize the way we feel for everv returning veteran and we hope that other returned men who have not been pn vileged to share in such an occasion will think of sgt sargent as a representative who received this honour on behalf of all of them we hope that the army wll decide to send the lome scots home as a regiment and give georgetown folk a chance to hold a real civic reception of its own it would be eminently fitting that this local regiment which went overseas four years ago and whose mem bers have served in every european theatre of war should be given a bang up welcome back this deserves your support the current
