broomhead the herald is printed each wednesday in the office on main street georgetown authorized as second class mall post office dopt ottawa member of the canadian weekly newspapers association and the ontarioquebec division at the cwna jamboree brings back memories its too many years since there has been a skating carnival in town so many years m fact that although there was a good turnout at the lions jam boree on saturday there were many who should have been there and weren t and many who were there we speak of the grown ups didn t derive their full enjoyment ecause the werent nir costume but it was a good party those in at tendance seemed to enjoy the various fea tures none the least of which was a chance to skate to real live band music the lions club made a couple of hundred dollars for their welfare fund and the success of the cami val should mean that it will once again be a yearly feature in georgetown there were hitches of course as there must always be the microphone wasnt act ing the way it should and it somewhat hin dered the smoothness of the show and made some confusion for neither those on the ice where the money goes in case there is still some doubt as to where money collected locally for european flood relief will go we would assume that the town will send it to the central fund an nounced last week by the federal government when the georgetown fund was estab lished node finite plans had been formulated in ottawa georgetown council felt that there was immediate need for assistance to both britain and holland and the local struc ture was set up in similar fashion to the win nipeg flood relief with the town clerk as treasurer collection depots at the banks mun lcipal office and herald office and the town assuming any expense of advertising and ad ministration which might arise so that every penny collected would go where it was need or the spectators could hear too clearly the hockey game was interesting and good fun but here we might suggest that there is too much danger in hockey and ano ther year we should like to see broortiball which can provide even more laughs with less risk to players ab tennant and his committee did a bang up job of arranging the show and no one cansay they didn t get their fifty cents worth anjapeiavoklxillljiar sh go to merchants whoso generosity in donat ing prizes really put the show ovei this was particularly appreciated by yours truly who had the job of rounding up some 36 prizes and believe you me that takes time for those grown ps who were bashful about getting their skates out of the attic we can tell you that you missed a good night and hope you 11 be there another year when the lions we hope will produce an even better evening s entertainment the mail bag t 1 thin edge of wedge says dairy farmer r r 2 georgetown ont february 21st 1853 the georgetown herald georgetown ontario dear mr editor some time ago in an editorial you voiced your indignation at the apparent injustice from your point of view of the restrictions placed on the advertising of the brewing- industry you felt that your in come was not so great that you could afford to lose the veiled ad vertising of one industry the con- sumption of whose products has done no good to anyone and has been the ruination of many now we see that qoce more the thin edge of the wedge is working its way into the columns of your paper in your edition of february 11th you have an editorial taking ex ception to the indignation of far mers toward the further encroach ment of synthetic products into the dairy business the third largest canadian industry one wetk ago mrs alexander gave you a number of reasons for the need of protection against these products bach farmer has thous ands of dollars invested in his dairy herd and equipment which could not be converted to other types of agriculture your editorial stated that formers should be ready to change with the times and sugges ted that they switch to soyabeans or some other lint if the need arose lofl by ynui p editorial however i prtbume you vould prefer a switch to malting barley which ijkes fiom the boil and feives bu utile in icturn now mr bdiior where is this spirit of com ctitioi you spoke of bo fjowingly l the farm people can you not find a much less cosily change and find a finer bubbtilute to fill those sp ices respectfully yours ward brownridge the central fund is known as the cana dian national european flood relief fund and governor general vincent massey is the chairman- the committee in charge included prime minister st laurent leaders of all pol ltical parties the ten provincial premiers the chief justice of canada and a group of out standing citizens representative of the whole country only money is being asked for as it is believed more sensible to collect cash which can be used q purchase necessary supplies pot pourri we ve only heard some hints and have not done any checking but don t be surprised if the tax rate is in for a rather healthy boost this year the official news will be out early next month when the 1953 rate is struck by council it was erroneously stated in last weeks herald that the mulder family belie ved drowned in the english flood lived at waltononouse this should have read waltonqnnaze sp of slips in the type neighbourly news creattsthis to the watford weekly speaking of a wedding one week the paper said there was a profusion of punk roses in a correction attempt next issue the editov apologetically declare that he had intended saying there was a profus ion if pink noses to this we could add a picture in the toronto telegram a few years ago of two sisters posed with their husbands- tobe with a large caption toronto sisters and their finances the spence mckinnons moved off a week ago for their new home m rather than attempting shipment of privately donated clothing medical supplies and food the red cross will have final disposition of the funds collected and has undertaken to do ail purchasing and transportation of relief supplies and their distribution but this is not a red cross appeal it is a private appeal to the people of canada to he p those in need some towns like geor getown have their local headquarters in other towns there is no local committee and the banks are taking donations and as in cery such occasion private organizations are each going about collecting in their own way some of the churches are appealing to their members on a national scale service clubs and fraternal organizations have in many cases been asked to make a mass contribu tion in some cases these donations to central organizations will go through the local rec ords in order that georgetown can be credited with her total givings in a few cases this is not possible and the local fund will not ben efit the important thing is to know that georgetown as always is one of the first communities to get about the job at times like this it makes one extra proud

mysterious brown spots and holes that sometime develop in cotton garments when you launder them at home the problem baffled everyone until the u s department of agriculture came up with the answer they found that the brown spots and holes can develop tn a garment that contains a zipper made of two metals for example copper and aluminum during the time the cotton dress is damp and fn close contact with these metals electrolysis takes place giving oh enough acid to damage the fabric then when a hot iron is applied the damage shows up in addition to the dampness the fabric must contain some substance that con ducts electricity such minerals can be present from the use of hard water salt in a liquid starch or from a detergent left in the fabric due to poor rinsing the national institute of cleaning and dyeing states that this damage cannot occur when cottons are drycleaned neither can it happen when a garment is wet cleaned by your drycleaner the reason after garments gre wet cleaned and sized they are played on an air drier for quick drying this does not permit the fabric to come in close contact with the zip per then in finishing and press ing the garment is not dampened as is done in home methods but dampened while it is being finished on the press so acid damage from zippers cannot happen in a dry cleaning plant one of a series of informative articles
