invitation to the classical music lovers we have recenly acquired a complete set of beethoven nine symphonies and would like to make this music available to any high school students who are inter cited if there is enough inter est in this very square music we would be happy to receive up to a diiieti students each thurndav evening for an hour or so an hour or so devoted primarily to mr b but with diversions into more modern music i suggest that those who think thin might be worth- j while should mention it to mr exists lmbert or give me a call on kntthe phone on a complete different tack a word on georgetown arena the town has demonst present enquiries into the bre nird pu support for the ping industn w ild have si complete renovation of this painfull building but nothing is likely to be achieved at the moment i recently had an opportunity that is money ts not available nspect our new high school frpm municipal taxation for irpose in fact the arena i students this school is a wan1 is so far down the list of large j derful accomplishment action at the moment is out of the question even if a de benture issue was permitted it seems to me that we should start a public fund raising drive to support this venture because this is the only way that mone wilt be made available perhaps it wouldn t be possible to raiie all the money required which is about si 00 000 but it may well be possible to raise b g enough slice of the total so that municipal funds could provide the balance i woulc like to se our new building when it is built caier for some thing more than ice hockej a plact which gave facilities for a wide nnge of activities foi the vouthful and adult ii should not be loo difficult t arrange if we are going to pro vide th s expensive building ie1 us have something which

weekly newspapers association and the ontario division of the cwna of particular interest to georgetown was a news letter published by the royal bank of canada last month dealing with the problems of the adjusting community the letter is wel come verbal sedative for a town with growing pains and such j an excellent piece of writing and the advice it contains is well worth the reading time the letter is printed in its entirety below study and dig est it building a better community community in the sense of a better community does not mean a municipality a trading area or a district there u a richness in the word commun it that goes far beyond all these and has something to do with the flowering of human lives people in good communities are neighbours in the democra uc process thej cooperate and collaborate to solve problems and make improvements the are comprehended in st augus tines definition of human soci ety a group large or small of people united by agreement as to the things they love the dynamic quality that m kes a communitj good does not reside in the official structure but in the interests desires and purposes of the people in u if a community wishes to improve itself in canada it has freedom to trj without coercion or ex ternal control ututn lnow ledge interest and action are the lifoblood of our democratic society acollection of houses shops and factories ma be as small as a hamlet or as big as a metropolis it may not be the most beautiful in lanada or the most efficient or the most dignified bj public buildings and statues but it can aspire to be a lovable community its men and women can make il so plato was strong impressed with the social nature of man and with the need to think ab out society in its relation to mans life in his study of eth fes instead of enquiring into the characteristics of a virtuous life in an individual plato en deavoured first to determine the characteristics of a good state having found what these are he believed thai ij would be perfect easy to infer what are the characteristics of a good man it seemed to plato that there were four virtues required for the existence of an ideal state wisdom courage temperance and justice these are quail ties which will serve as a stan dard of judgment and behaviour in building a better community to have a community men must work together to have a better community they must have common principles their individual purposes need not be all the same but the basic things in which they believe must be identical they must live by the same rules the intimacy and stability of the small town or neighborhood have been severely shaken by tecjinologj and mobility we find it difficult to contrive new gadgets and yet hold fast to old institutions and forms of beha- vumr but we can be comforted by the thought that if commun ity life is somewhat imperfect the fault can be corrected by more earnest planning and do ing se of community what is the core of commun ity building it is not a mas ter plan or a detailed blue print or the acquirement of park space or the flotation of loans it is the spirit of the people i when neighbours start asking questions about the future they are developing a community feeling when the ask where are we heading what can we do to make and keep our neighbourhood a good place to live then they will find the resources lo face the future with confidence add anticipa tion most of us would admit that we are not satisfied with what is mediocre we have higher alues bui to gain what ts ex cellenl is not enough that we wish for it we need to exert ourselves to get it being dis satisfied to settle for an thing less than the best people cannot jive in isola tion so the need to plan for getting along together mach ines possessions and utilities are useful onl to the extent that the add to the comfort of living the do not substi tute for the feoling of friend ship and communion one of the txcrting things about anv neighborhood is that it consists of people who differ in background in their recognition of civic problems wid in thtir accipuncx of pro posed solutions we have a larger number of cultures rprcsntd in nada than in
