the georgetown herald wednesday march 10 1948 mmi the editors corner a good job of snow removal wc have never seen a better or quicker job of snow removal than last week when an unseasonable snowstorm threatened to disrupt traffic throughout the town foreman alf collins and the town men worked like trojans oft the inow plow and put in hours of overtime night work to get the roads in passable condition mdanwhile the scottjackson scoopshovel was called mto action by rood chairman goodlct and jay wcdntday night main streut mill street and john street- right down to the subway turn had been com- pletely cleared and the inovf truckcd a wily to a reposi tory at the park 9 cmergency sftow removal signs were posted along the streets during the operation andhe ftv mot orists who did not taopcrte by avoiding parking in the area were inconvenienced by having their cars to wed out of the way i he whole job reflected credit on all parties responsible and we are safe inlaying thrt wa dont be lieve any municipality in ontario could have any bet k ter or more prompt public service it is interesting to note that georgetown now has an estimated twenty five miles of streets with the opening last year of nor mandy boulevard sarah and elgin streets and river view crescent bread today or bullets tomorrow 1 he current canadian appeal for children 1 und is a most worthwhile endeavour and we hope that local donations will be generous it has been our intention to support the appeal editorially and this week we came across the following article preed by douglas w smith of the legion public relations department which has a message for us all he has chosen bread today or bullets tomorrow as its title 1 wonder what has happened to marcel marcel with the pipestem arms and leg3 the pinched little face and big black eyes eyes that should have been filled with childlike wonder but looked at you with fear and distrust 1 first met marcel in caen he was five and howling his head off he had good reason his mother nd father were under the rubble of what once was their home we were feveruhly trying to clear the debris way from la prewe caenaigse to publish the first is sue of the maple leaf we werent making much pro gress because the jerries were leab than a few hundred yards away trying to hold the river orne and making it hot for all and sundry in the district i grabbed marcel from the open and dragged him down before he got picked off by mortar shrapnel there wa nobody in this city of death to claim the waif so we kept him with lis like any kid of that age he quickly adapted himself to new conditions his little legs were covered with sores probably from uekofnutrition he didnt play like our kids do he just didnt seem to have the energy it was surprising what a difference a few weeks of good grub made to that kid ife put on weight and started to romp about in no time he was the idol of r the unit and the amount of chocolate and candies that kid stuffed into him would do your heart good to see but even though he fattened up and played that look of fear and uncertainty never left his eyes i suppose the psychologists would ay that the kid will always have an amount of this feeling in his lifetime he may even grow up to be an unstable cit izen came the time for our departure from caen it was impossible to take marcel with ua the trench by this time had a sort of provisional government bet- up so we reluctantly passed him over to the author ities the last tunc i saw marcel ho was standing in the street waving- forlornly as we drove away m our trucks i wonder what has happened to marcel i sup pose i wiirever know tins much though i lo know if he is not taken care of he will grow up to ije y embilter d young man md an easy prev for tlioi marshalling tlly forces ag- amsrour way of lif heavtn forbid that sorm day he and my son may meet on a field of battlt the legion is one hundred per nt ix hind the canadian apptal for children i und tor those who shrug their shoulders and say its no affair of mm okay chum then chew on this practical approach which would you prefer bread todav or bullets tomorrow keep them coming we hav been pie is d lately to see an awaken ing interest by readers m submitting letters to the edi tor on timely subjects of tin day it has always been our hope that the hfrald would be a public forum where views of municipal and national interest might be expressed and we look forward to he day when we can devote a whole page to the publication of letters from the public one excellent letter on speeding was received in the mail last week but was signed a cit izen who drives a lot with no intimation 33 to the id entity of the writer whilt the letter itself would have caused no controversy if published it was necessary to adhere to our strict rule that letters are pubhshecddnly if the writer makes his identity known to the publisher letters will be published under a nomdeplume if the writer wishes though f a letter is too controversial we reserve the privilege of refusing to publish it unless the writers name appears in print the privilege is al so ours of course of refusing to publish all or parts of letters which are not consistend with good taste or which are slanderous or libelous during the past season we had the reputation of being one of the largest live poultry buyers for the
