district nine times an appeal was made to invest money in victory bonds and nine times the response was magni ficent each loan was oversubscribed each succeeding loan was bigger than the last and this 9th and last time citizens really went all out to reach the staggering total of 950000 almost a million dollars invested by one little community of four or five thousand people is a total which we do not believe can be equalled in any other district in canada it was 250 of the 385000 ob jective set by national headquarters an objective which was not low in the first place and one which to be frank we doubted would be reached when it was first announced this will be the last victory loan as such and it is pleasing to the members of a committee which has worked hard to put it across that public response was so willing the results in community life will be far- reaching for it shows that here we appreciate the dan gers of inflation caused by wild spending and that we are in full accord with the national economic plan of saving for a happy future at the same time we can hope that these dollar savings willhelp in a small way to bring canadian servicemen home faster from over- seas and reestablish them quicklym civilian life hydro opens training school as part of the extensive rural program planned by the hydroelectric flower commission in the post war years the commission has established a school for training linemen on the outskirts of toronto during the past three months the commission has employed some 1 50 exservicemen who would appear to have the necessary qualifications for and interest in this work these men have been placed on line work in various parts of the province and if their work is satisfactory they will be given a course of training as soon as pos sible last month the school was opened with a class of 25 and a further 25 will be enrolled as soon as accom modation is ready instructors were chosen from present hydro employees and given a special training course as teachers the commission is planning to en roll men in as large numbers as possible and in the or der of application requirements for entrance are two years high or technical school or the equivalent in an army course and 0 maximum age limit of 30 for war veterans and 25 for nonveterans any local man who is interested in further de tails about the course would be advised to get in touch with the local hydro office on main street georgetown recreational council readers will no doubt be confused by the several changes in name which the georgetown re creational council has had in its short lifetime start ing originally as the georgetown athletic association it became youth inc on the suggestion of some of the committee members who wanted a more descriptive title for an organization primarily dedicated to the interests of young people of the community and em bracing more than athletics later it was the opinion that this name was not just suitable and a subsequent committee meeting gave birth to the georgetown youth council just when things appeared set and the christen ing was to take place president ted maccormack ap proached the ontario government to find out if geor getown could hope for government financial support under the new physical fitness program the answer was yea but a new name must be found hence the final revision to georgetown recreational council a name which we devoutly hope will be the endall for it is extremely confusing to both your reporter and the readers to change names so often the physical fitness program it was explained is designed not just for youth but for all groups in the community thus if a fulltime sports director is hired any group of young people or grownups can approach him for help in forming a tennis club a hockey club pingpong basketball or what have you the emp hasis will however be placed on youth and for a start the local committee feels that concentration on the age group of ten to eighteen will be sufficiently broad in cope tlje government support in a nutshell is to pay onethird of the salary of a sports director onethird of jfe alary of an assistant if this is necessary and 20 of the operating costs of the organization this will be a considerable help in financing what is bound to be an expensive program but one whose dividends will be incalculable in better health and better citizenship nominations again municipal elections like christmas come every year and the approach of jhe nomination meeting this friday reminds us that the old year 1 945 i waning and the new about to begin every year we hope to see the public library packed to overflow for what should be a must on every municipal voters list at this meeting one has a chance to hear the years town busi ness reviewed in detail to question if he likes the con duct of the town affairs to praise or criticize if he feels inclined the individual or collective work of the town council the hydro commission and the public school board and finally tc nominate those whom he wishes to see in office in 1946 if we are interested in wherer our tax money is spent in what next years candidates hope to accomp lish and in what this years public officials have done next friday is that onceayear opportunity is it too much to hope that this year we will see three hundred four or even five hundred at the meeting community sadness never is sympathy so gnuine or so readily ex pressed as when a citizen is takn sueddenly from ourv midst by unnatural means death in itself is sad but accompanying sickness as it usually does it has come to be accepted as a possibility where physical defects are present and the public as a whole is prepared for its advent it was then a terrible shock to the community laaf saturday morning when it was learned that a train accident had taken away one of georgetowns best- known citizens csm william carney and that a man who only that day had been going about his regu lar duties with his usual quiet efficiency was to pass to the great beyond under such cruel circumstances the impressive funeral yesterday morning was a public tri bute to his life among us and we
