terra cotra page 4 thursday november 23rd 1961 editorial comment georgetown the place to shop we ve said ft before and we say it again you can t beat georgetown for values at any time of the year and the christmas season is no exception local stores are already well stocked with tempting buys for gift minded shop pers and more merchandise is arriving daily to keep shelves full in this weeks issue

holders of lucky tickets in a gtveaway besides there is a bingo lots of fun the lions club raised abit of money for their public service work and those who pur chased cards in the first newspaper bingo enes had a bit of fun the second series is now in progress and in this herald issue you will find a second group of numbers plus a repeat of the numbers announced last week in case any localite is concerned about reports in city papers that bingo has fallen into the hands of gamblers we can assure you that this is not the case in town there r printing and advertising expenses of course but aside from these and the prize money involved plus a small remuneration county suffers loss 5udden death has removed two famil iar faces on the county political scene in recent weeks mrs mary peltit and george cleave both former county wardens had long and honourable careers in hallon public af fairs mrs pettif who was a trafalgar reeve when she held this high office had entered municipal affairs again and was milton s reeve at the time of her death mr cleave who was an esquesmg reeve and councillor retired from county counc i after his term as warden but served several terms after welcome

you ii have a happier time iri the local stores clerks know you here exchanges if necessary are easy to make and you ii have a few extra dotlai to spend by saving the cost of your city trp to the earner boys and girls the whole pro ceeds are earmarked by the lions for their service work the lions hope to raise several hun dred dollars in this way and each 25c card you purchase helps them on their way what do the lions do in a public way the swimming pool is one monument to the club and a generous pledge was made to the hospi tal behind the scenes there is a helping hand to people in need eyeglasses an operation food and clothing to tide some one over hard times none of this is pub licized for obvious reasons but any lion can fill you in on details if you ask that as a member of the od north hallon hign school board when he retired from farming he be cane a georgetown resident and extended his circle of friends to include many towns people the bereaved families may have some comfort to know that mrs pettit and mr cleave were unself sh public servants ma ny of today s public improvements are the result of their efforts as county and townsh p councillors and like others who serve in public capacities their monu ments include the making of better com keep your ashes off the rug a glow of satisfaction but there till much lo sti and k irn before we said goodbje to our drivers pe

they have their failure but they bounce back and enoy their big year when the gamble pay off the market holds and the new me thod works like a charm its the same with teachers those who stick by the book are not necessarily the teachert who kindle the desire for know ledge often it is the oddball the erratic one with the unor thodox methods who makes the lasting impression on the pliable young mind they too od let their implements grow have their failures but they sty complain steadily of the also have their brilliant succes- ird work and avoid it when ever possible both farmer and teacher
