recreation is useful for several years a small group of citizens has keen carrying on a most worthwhile work in town and 1 district hamdred from time to time by inadequate lands and always faced with the fact that in order to pay the salary of the recreation director and other nec essary expenses certain moneys must be procured by private donation or by fundraising activities their work has been appreciated by the hundreds of young people who have benefitted by participation in organized sport hockey lacrosse soccer baseball those who attended tr hobby show in st johns church hall got a glimpse of what can be done in fields of activity outside the sporting world and more than anything else the stfijathome camp these past two summers has drawn to the attention of the public the great work which georgetown recreation commission is doing the grc program has had a fair trial and the ex ecutive now feel that it is up to thepublic at large to express approval or disapproval of what they have been doing and what they hope to keep doing in the future they feel that to successfully carry on money for the alary of a director must be guaranteed and voters will be asked on december 1 1 to approve a grant of 2500 from the town to take care of this it is important to remember that while j the vote b for 2500 only twothirds of this amount 1666 will come dirtectly from the pockets of thefatepayers the balance is rebated to the town from theprovincial government we intend to vote yes in the plebiscite we can think of no sett re on v666 thanthe health and wellbeing of huridrsl8oyojijjgoeonl6 who are learn ing sportsmanship and developingtheir physical and mental qualities because of the work of grc why why why the midland free press herald has some pertinent comment about mixing alcohol and driving which ev ery drinking driver should consider one doesnt have to be a teetotaller to realize that the only place alcohol fits in with a car is in the radiator read the following and think it over rule g of the north american railways makes it an offence for any employee to drink while on duty yet trains run on steel rails aeroplane companies forbid pilots to fly within 24 hours of taking an alcoholic drink yet copilots are available to take over the controls in case of emergency canadian automobile drivers with nothing to guide their course and no codrivers are legally free to drink and drive no one is allowed to take charge of a railway loco motive without years of experience- and training no one is permitted to pilot a passenger plane without a thorough and arduous series of examinations and hundreds of hours of flying experience an automobile drivers licence can be secured in cun following a most casual examination or in some provinces by merely sending a dollar or two through the mail yet while railway engineers and aeroplane pilots are forbidden to drink and drive there is no similar re striction on a car driver traffic on the railways is regulated by persona other than the locomotive engineers traffic on the airways is rcgulatedl persons oth er than the pilots traffic on the highways is almost entirely controlled by individual car drivers yet a railway cnginier and a pilot cannot drink arid drive but a car operator can why pot pourri winter storms did terrific damage in the i 1 million area but 1y1 georgetown
