session of the legislature the budget is always big news this- year the news was even bigger more taxes than ever before and more grants than ever before that was the information which provincial treasurer ijana porter gave- the 1957 session of the provincial le when he brought down the budget last thursday most of lis realise more dearly wliat way contained in the 1967 budget now that we have made our first purchases of gasoline since the budget was released we wiu also realise more clearly vhatbgr happened when we find that in many eases our muhiclpaf no to cry havoc credit restricons which have caught george town like every other municipality in canada in a temporarily embarrassing financial condi tion should be judged a tittle more calmly than some alarmists are dofng stories that fhe municipal board is going to take over the town that the banks are refusing to honour town cheques and similar figments of the imagination make interesting teatime topics but are based on no known facts they can un fortunately do some harm for georgetown is shortly to issue a large block of debentures for public sale and adverse publicity of this nature could be detrimental to quick marketing of these debentures there is no need to cry havoc in george town our municipality continues to maintain its high level of wellpaid employment we have a large percentage of home owner capable if not too happy of paying the increased taxes which this year will bring and no ontario town is any better equipped jo weather a financial storm such as the country is experiencing better than georgetown there can be no sensible criticisms of past councils either as money squanderers we have certainly spent tremendous amounts of public funds in the last ten years and not many of two good hockey teams these dollars have purchased luxuries can anyone say that schools should not have been buit that we did not need a sewerage system a waterworks extension new fire pum per adequate equipment for the police and the town works staff can there be a reasonable argument against highway resurfacing or the need for the large expenditures which have had to be made on streets and sidewalks the enlarge ment of the municipal building the sewer and water lines which must follow building of new homes the fact is that georgetown financing has re mained on a remarkably even keel in a rapidly expanding town and credits due those in auth ority for wiseigjjjldancet restricted credit has many disadvantages but it will have some blessings too continuous expansion without interruption might eventually lead to some reckless expenditures in the en thusiasm of the moment the present slump which should be of short duration gives time for reflection and stock taking for certain public economies which might now have been made but we can rest assured that barring a ma jor depression georgetown will ride out any crisis with flying sails and no hint of the ship of state foundering ganging up in debate on the front bench of the cabinet and then watch the reaction of the mins ters- to the attack youll him to admit that it is nothing shoril of fascinating and needless to say i t-

wsssenvnbiavi of fire area costs georgetown is very much in the hockey limelight at present with excellent junior and intermediate teams competing for group honours and a chance to go farther in provincial competi tion the juniors are trailing by one game at time otwdting in their series with preston with high hopeauafc ven i ng the series last night in a home game the intermediates after besting teams in a higher grouping during the seasons competition are beginning playoffs with oakvilte and the first home game is slated here next wednesday pot pourri the 90th birthday party of ltcol a l no- ble orvsaturday was a happy event for family and friends who arrived in goodly numbers to ex tend best wishes for the occasion not many are blessed to this advanced age with the mental and physical health of this hardy son of district pio neers and we wish him many more such happy days starting a new banking position in st catharines jack hart is saying goodbye to geor getown for the third time the retiring manager of the local commerce branch has had the un ique experience of serving here firsf as a junior later returning as accountant and coming back for a third stay as manager his friends are sorry to part while congratulating him on his advance ment in position the world becomes smaller each year where once it was only the fortun- ate few who could winter in the south now plane travel has put not only florida in the reach of the majority but travel doesnt stop there at present the teams have drawn fair crowd support during their season but there has never been a shortage of seating accommodation in the arena wouldn t it be wonderful if we returned to the postwar golden days of hockey in george town when people fought for seats with twice as big a town there should be standing room only in the playoffs and weguarantee that once youve seen a game you wont be missing from the next georgetown plays a good brand of hockey and win or lose you can be sure they are giving their best at all times we have georgetown people in profusion in the south as well as travellers in mexico various is lands in the west iqdies and others in britain and on the continent

91183000 whose economy is developing more rapidly than any other in the world it is not hard to see on every side ex amples of how the government spends tax money in halton county the construction and pro posed construction of schools hos pitals roads and highways oc cupies a good deal of our time and attention however the budget wasnt the only thing this week that created a stir in the legislature oh tues day the 19th the toll roads com mittee made its longawaited re port it recommended an increase in gasoline tax three days later the government implemented this recommendation in its budget and the institution of a toll road system in ontario beginning with toll charges for the new burling ton- skyway and the new bridge across the welland canal tolls for the projected highway between hamilton and toronto were also proposed in the committee report the le is by no means in agreement yet over whether these recommendations should be adopted ccf leader donald mc donald refused to sign the report because of his opposition both to the establishment of a system of toll roads and an increase in the gasoline tax there is sure to be more disagreement on these issues expressed later in the session if you count yourself a public- spirited citizen you should visit the legislature for at least one day this session even if you dont admit to being publicspirit ed you should be lot in an
