georgetown herald a thomson mwsp akt umitf mimjcatiom serving the communities of gorot6wn glen williams nerval limehouses hornby stewertrown tumlnefad ashgrov terr com thursday november 3th 1959 editorial comment a disservice to georgetown a toronto star columnist in slander ous attack on our town last week mad en- nuendos against a number of georgetown resrits which to our knowledge were com- tehr falsa had his article dealt with a matter of less important than the del rex question for relene of more housebujldinq land we would be inclined to iqnona it ftut concerm na as it does a question much in brominerv- in ton we feel comowmed o comment at the same time hootno that this will not magnify the importance locally of his remarks to our vvlhoe sid columnist has never visitpd georgetown certainly u checked no facts with council delrex tr- s newsroer or anv of the persons mauoned at the same time the nature of his infor mation was such that he could only have obtained it from people well acquainted with the local scene aooarentlv he and they did not have the couraae of their convictions because while the tone of the article hinted at a deep dark family compact type of shen aniaans golnq on in georgetown it ended with wondering if a town twice as big is necessarily any better the subtle finger polntirra had no bearlnq whatsoever on his- conclusions and served no other purdce than to try and embarrass residents who have mven no cause for such an attack while castioatino e newsoaoer which is the eoitome of blqness for allowino such freedom o exoression to one of its columnists we fe even stronner against those vho provided the ammunition whether done with malice afore ouoht or with some misouided idea that rhv vere heoino council arrive at a dffi cult

qualified to make it it has been suqaested both by pros end entls that the herald should take a hef inite editorial stand on the request for re- two suggestions there are two suqqestions we might make
