the georgetown herajd wednesday feb 16th 1949 page 8 a reply to the letter while it is not our intention to prolong a contro- versy which has many points of argument on both ides a few observations on last week s letter from three members of the local ministerial association might seem to be in order i wo editorials which prompted the letter were not written in the spirit of depreciating jthe importance of the church or its work it is our be lief that the church is and should be the guiding factor in the everyday life of each man whatever be his creed and the last thing that could be wished would be to weaken this at the same time the church cannot be impervious to constructive criticism and to debate on certain aspects of religion which change with the times the matter of sunday observance most certainly belongs to this category and honouring the sabbath day is a question of degree on which no two men ministers or laymen stop at precisely the same point this province today accepts many things which our forbearers branded as sacrilegious trains run monday morning newspapers are printed swimming golfing and skiing at private and public clubs are enjoyed radio programs employing paid performers advertising com mercial products und other programs employing paid peformers as sustaining shows are widely accepted garages are open to serve pleasure driving motorists we believe that the playing of any healthy sport can be part of the sunday picture without detriment toe des truction of sunday us a day of worship we believe further although it does not enter into the present con troversy about renting of the arena to private clubs for practice that the enjoyment by paid spectators outside ol chqrch hours of sunday sports cannot harm sunday ihlnn observance if

through next monday the town council will be asked to appoint a new 8man board of members selected by their various groups from repre sentative bodies in the town 1 he new council can then start to function with the assurance that it lias the approval ot a considerable bulk of the citizens and with some mandate to seek more support from the town through the town council than has been accor ded in the past while the town should be thankful to the 25 vol unteers who have threshed out the question in several long sessions during the last few weeks it is well to keep in mmd the contribution of the retiring recrea tional council which has struggled for three years to keep the spark of recreation alive in georgetown a considerable amount of physical property acquired by its efforts will be at the disposal of the new group anci a background of successes and failures will give the new council guidance in their future action i he members of the new group will find their keenest sup porters among the former members and we should not be surprised to find a number of them heading the ac tivities groups which will we part and parcel of the new scheme our loss and their gain the phrase may be time worn but it seems fitting to say that georgetown s loss is brantfords gain we refer to the promotion of r h bob ireland to man agershipof the bank of commerce branch in brant- ford and his departure from town later this month in the short space of three years mr ireland has endeared himself to a wide circle of friends in this district and the news has been received with genuine regret while at the same time they rejoice with him in the excellent promotion which head office has seen fit to grant him bob in his turn while not turning down a promotion has expressed his own regret at leaving a town where he has been so happy a bank manager coming as a stranger to a new town is at the same time in a fortunate and a peculiar position by virtue of his job he has a speedy intro duction to most everyone in all walks of life and has a premade position in town affairs it is possible for him in a short space of time to become extremely pop ular it is just as possible for the other extreme to occur in mr ireland s case the first proved to be true he has shown a keen interest in town affairs without allowing himself to be overburdened as many bank managers are with too many positions as treasurer and as a member of every group in town he has made it a pleasure to walk into the bank making everyone feel at home with a friendly word which did not imply mere friendliness for business sake it is our predic tion that brantford will not be the last stop in a stead- ilyrising banking career 395 at richardsons hardware mainsirlll phone 25 owtmimnainnflmiinmiimminihiiiimiin
