weekly nowapaper af1fi and um onaarloquebec drtlakm lot the owna the etditors corne a pair sports director plans for the organization of a georgetown athletic association are taking shape and a number of interested citizens have already held two meetings to develop the framework for such an organization with another meeting scheduled for tomorrow night the association will be formerly launched at a father and son evening later this month when the election of a permanent executive will take place it is hoped that our own bob goldham will be there and bring with him some of his teammates on the maple leafs and there will be guest speakers familiar with sports organi zation who will be able to give some pointers on the proper way to run an athletic association for several years now we have had the idea in the back of our mind that a town should have a live- wire athletic society with a salaried sports director to supervise all organized sport in georgetown it was a distinct satisfaction to hear this same idea propounded at the meeting last week and to see it adopted as one of the aims of the temporary committee which will func tion until a permanent body is elected we think a sports setup should be similar to municipal politics a president and executive committee which would cor respond to the mayor and council and a paid director responsible to this committee having the function of a town clerk it would be up to this individual when hired to further athletics of every kind to organize lea gue procure proper athletic equipment superintend publicity and to see that every young person was en couraged to participate in healthful clean athletics the job is one which requires careful choosing of a man with some knowledge of sports who under stands and likes children and who possesses the organi zing ability necessary to keep things humming at ali easona of the year it would have to be eventually if not immediately a fulltime job with a salary adequate to interest and hold this man we hear a lot of talk these days about making the future world a better place in which to live what better way can we start than by pledging ourselves to make healthier happier and better canadians of the younger generation in george town by each and every one of us getting 1 00 behind this community athletic scheme and sticking with it we ventuure to predict as many of our readers know the herald is printed in two instalments due to the limited capacity of our printing machinery and the first run on tues day includes among other things this editorial corner at time of printing therefore it is still too early to know the results of yesterdays sewage vote but we are willing to risk a red face and predict that the vote will be a case of the ayes have it it is gratifying to see our municipal council un hesitatingly express themselves as 1 00 behind the scheme and publicize this fact by posters and an adver tisement in this paper last week we feel that council in this case has taken the proper means of expressing their pointofview and the fact that installation of a sewage system would not directly benefit some of the individual members proves them t be publicspirited citizens who put town welfare first facing this fact that those fortunate ratepayers whose private disposal systems work well will be pay ing for something which they can get along without we hope and feel confident that they will followhe example set and vote for a measure which is the most important and most necessary since the introduction of waterworks several years ago truly a war loan nowadays we are being jostled by problems of peace almost everything we read all the utterances of public men tends to emphasize the fact that the war is now history yet the ninth victory loan which will be open ed to the public on october 22 is definitely a war loan there exists no magic wand one can use to waft military forces from the scenes of battle to their normal home surroundings overnight unfprtunately long af ter the enemy cries surrender the cost of war goes on it is estimated for example that the country of canada must raise a sum of about 2500000000 during the present year to provide adequate medical attention and hospitalization for the men who are coming back wounded and sick last year members of the hoose of commons were told that at that time 750000000 i be needed to pay gratuities and take care of re- n credits to men returning from battle one mhbvidg passed since then the cost of that import- legion notes tee to have all children of the

xhere are heavy domestic expenditures made heavier by the unprecedented demands of this period of reconstruction in the country which are included in the total of the ninth victory loan objective but of this we can be sure the major portion of the money which canadians will provide for the purchase of bonds in october and november is needed to cover the cost of war the nazis did the dirty work clothing and footwear in the netherlands are scarce and their quality when they can be obtained at all is bad while leather for shoes is rarely obtainable supplies of bedding cannot be renewed and sheets and blankets which cannot be replaced are worn thread bare although some small stocks of the latter are kept in reserve for new households the amount of fuel distributed is not sufficient o keep one room of a house warm throughout thr wmlcr and many families pool their furl and live together in order to keep warm to alleviate this serious situation action has been taken in canada and the united states a national clothing collection was held in the united stales last april yield ing millions of pounds of blankets clothing and foot wear in canada n similar nationwide collection of serviceable used clothing is now being held under spon sorship of canadian united allied relief fundon be half of unkra all clothing stocks gathered will be distributed i unrra free to people of allied nations in distress as a result of german occupation even at that the combined us canadian aid will by no means fill the bill but it will hen the european situation has arisen from the lengthy and merciless german occup ation last march an order of the german occupation authorities prohibiting the purchase of womens cloth ing and household linen in holland resulted from ai lied bombings 1 he germans textile shortage origin ally resulted from the need for clothing for evacuees who had lost their belongings in the bombings of cities in the reich phis was made still more urgent how ever when allied airmen wiped out 80 per cent of the production of the german textile industry around the cities of gronau and muenchengladbach subsequent ly the germans announced that netherlands textiles equivalent to 300000000 points about half the quan tity previously rationed to holland would be requisi tioned threatening confiscation of the entire- nejrjier- lands production and emptying shops nd even private wardrobes if the deliveries were not made on schedule as a result many textile and clothing wholesalers and retailers were obliged to close and the dealers were un able to purchase new stocks as the ration points they had collected in the course of their transactions were now invalid unction in tb sot family and we are plumed fo report the same and congratulate the glaby family on
