weekly newspaper association and the ontario division of the c w n a high school question again no public flatter has been kicked around these past few years more than the high school two years ago the school board emerged from a long battle over a central school at speyside and settled down to providing adequate schools in the three towns concerned georgetown acton and milton there is little doubt in anyone s mind now that spey side would have been folly the dept of educatipn in fact changed its mind in midstream and turned from a speyside booster into an advocate of high schools only in urban locations this is all past history now acton has a com pletely new school milton and georgetown have had substantial additions and the future holds no possib ility of less than three schools in the mushrooming towns latest thorn in the school board s side is a growth problem in georgetown it is a certainty that in september four more class rooms will be necessary working to this end the sshool board decided to seek another site and build a complete new school only to have this idea vetoed by the dept of education in favour of remaining in the present location and adding still more to this old firm changes hands departure of the kentner name from the lumber and building supply business next week ends a 35 year per od during which the family has been assona ted with the building trades in georgetown and for part of that time in the other north halton town of acton and milton it was in 1920 that howard kentner was instru mental in organizing what has become one of the d s tncl s leading businesses the firm has been respon sible for many of the buildings in town particularly houses while also conducting a thriving trade in lum ber supplies and mill work since 1934 his son claude pot pourri all the comings and goings and flurry of activity around the herald office last week marked installa tton of a new power paper cutting machine t replaces a hand operated model which has cut more tons of stock than any one on the staff would care to remem ber the new cutter looked so handsome sitting trt the stock room that it called for a further expenditure of floor covering to set it off obvious news notes are the ones so often missed by an editor we chase other merchants to mention staff additions then forget those on our own doorstep before christmas a new name was added to the masthead when ken cowefl oined the staff increasing the herald staff to a total of 8 incidentally ken his wife and three children are living on durham street they came here from bant ford and before that were living out west mrs cow ell has a past connection with town her father wil ham nickell grieve who died last summer in his 80th year was a native georgetowner who left town as a young lad the nickel name is still well known tn the building both plans have merit in most ways we are pleased to see the present school retained for one thing it would he relatively useless for any other pur pose than a school and the money spent so recently on a large new wing should not go down the dram it is centrally located accessible to both the old and new sections of town and it has plenty of ad joining land which can be acquired to provide ade quale building and campus space there is one large problem which will be encoun tered someday in future it is the eventual plan to tear down the original building and replace it with a modern structure the dept has advised this and architects plans include it m the over all picture a future school board will have to solve the problem of what to use while demolition takes place and the new building is constructed it is certainly more than a two month project but it will have to be faced when the time comes meanwhile we look forward to a larger more- complete building within the next year as one of n any reflections of georgetown s growth i as jlso been a i ac ve partner i g o gc own lum bv the me rs kei t cr are oi rti i g by a y mea

eliggggigigqt0gggriquillnqagri0q0 agree family farm is backbone of country mrt m j brown the heavy snow fall on january 30 prevented some of the farm forum groups in halton from holding their regular meetings the majority of those who met report a good broad cast on the topic the family farm all groups agreed the family farm will remain and it is still the back bone of countrj lift but owing to pre sent economic conditions some change may hi necessary it was suggested that lirger farms with specialized production following sound business methods would result in a more cf ficicnt use of expensive up to date equipment thus reducing the over head cost however if the family farm is to survive the farmer s cash returns for his produce must increase there should not be such a wide spread be tween the prices producers receive and what the consumers pays if farmers were receiving a fair share their sons would be more willing to rermin on the farm and so preserve the family traditions
