ma amfcwrawh i m the georgetown herald published every thursday afternoon nc worthy effort by midtowners i with so much publicity these day about juvenile delinquency end quite unustiftttd we would say as far as georgetown is concerned rt is good to be able to report an effort like the street dance promoted recently by club michown the idea conceived by the midtowners had a double purpose and besides providing en ev enog of outdoor fun it had the higher purpos of raising funds for the new hospital as a re sult cheque for 200 was turned over by the executive last seturday to mrs joe emmerson to pes on to the hospital baerd for the new build ing we have noth ng but praise for these young people who operate a successful series of dances with such side attractions at an organized trip to waega beach and a visit to e k tchener tv show they have encountered a minimum of trou ble during their years of operation and with the help of a few of the towns more senior citizens provide a place where local parents can have assurance that their young people cn congregate for healthy fun speaking of delinquency from time te time there have been undercurrent rumours of the vest troubles encountered in town with the youn ger element we have even heard statistics quo ted varying from the highest rate m canada downwards police chief roy haley d scounfs th s one hundred percent for one thing no statistic are available from any senior source he says plus the fact that a look at the police blotter pre ve the crime incidence tnw or senior n very low in town we dont mean by this that our police force ha nothing to do but sit around and fme people for exceeding the one hour parking limit unfor tunately as long as there are human being there will be those who defy convention and a percen lege of our populace must wind up in police court varying offences there have always been end will always be young peop who tow their id oats indiscriminately they with adult wtal caters must be checked for the common good but all in aft in our observance we can rec ommend georgetown as a good place in which to rarse a family a town whore if e parert uses a steady guiding hand there is a minimum of danger that his youngster wttl not end up a f odd member of the eommuntty swimming instruction excellent v outstanding results of red cross tests at the community swimming pool last week

other day i told of the crash landing of a 20 car old spitfire the last survivor of its breed of the battle of britain far from ma king me nostalgic it gave me a certain satisfaction probab ly i said to myself one of those clappedout dogs we flew at rcdnal thats what they save us to train en spits that had been through the battle of britain and flaw as though theyd been through the battle of hastings no i m afraid 1 didnt get sen timental about the gallant lit tle spitfire whan i read of its demise i get so many bad sca res while flying those things that i always looked en them with a aundiced eye wards but it did start me thinking about one of the happiest times i have ever had and re membering some of the best friends i ever made we took a three months operational tral mng course

the indians am ong themselves because they were a sikh a moslem a chris tian and a hindu and couldnt they smiled a welcome and the pints would flew and the vould kly and in no time at all the pub

flying on bikes with no hands which fre quently meant winding up in a a thorn hedge the climax to the ride back was race down the steep hill to our huts with no lights no hands and very often no brakes thered be tre mendous collisions with cursing laughing bodies flying in all di rections at the bottom it sounds pretty silly and it was but we were all very yonng and very gay even the europeans though their gaiety had an edge of bitterness to it a touch of violence my special friends were nils van singh and paddy we flaw in the same flight ate and drank r and pursued various young
