georgetown herald pubhshsd by horn newspapers limited 22 main street s georgetown ontario w c biehn publisher th0rsda1 january 13th 1966 editorial comment we intercet itercepted speaking at mayor gibbons inaugural dinner rev collin todd proposed that party politics should be a part of local govern ment and remarked someone will probably intercept this forward pass im throwing we did we hold the very opposite view that municipal affairs can be conducted much more efficiently by citizens whose minds are opsin to localaedquertionsand whoarendt swayed by loyalties to national political par ties the sad state of our federal parliament these past three sessions is proof enough on the threshold georgetowns industrial scene seems to lupvitfdump and there is general optimism mar continuing growth writ be the keynote this year location of a large american firm which will manufacture office furniture another making industrial equipment and a cana dian firm m the church furnishing field were announced recently there are expan sion rumours from more than one estab lished firm and several interesting contacts have been made through the industrial commission which if theybear fruit will add substantially to employment possibili ties m georgetown h is nothing new to those who live here now to know that georgetown has all the advantages and few of the disadvan tages of big city living we have the city attractions right on will be missed death of a young georgetown physl dan two days before christmas oast a sad- nets over the community which is rarely seen in a town of this size in four short years hi town dr ber nard bebenek had won the respect of a large segment of the population he was dedicated to his profession tireless in hit energy it will be some comfort to his wife end young ferniry to know that so many people shared in grief when the sad news came it is a tribute which few of us deserve end even fewer receive of what could happen if mr todays idea were put in practice in ottawa where being a member of parliament is a fulltime job it is possible to get major work done despite the filibusters ana the delaying tee- ics but when businessmust be done by vpart time politicians meeting a night or two a week h would be disastrous to occupy time with political debates it is refreshing to know that men with diverse political leanings can come together around a municipal council table and work for the common good of their municipality let s keep it that way our doorstep while still able to go home for dinner at noon walk to work if we so desire play golf or cud without driving miles we can know our members of town council the merchants with whom we deal the mechanics who repair our cars much more intimately than is possible in big cities we have country air and rural scenes near at hand hockey and baseball leagues for our children a multitude of service dubs and lodges our schools are modern and well- equipped our roads are better plowed in winter our hospital is an efficient and well staffed institution no wonder industry is interested may be our ob in future will be to pick and choose what industries we most want and what will best fit georgetown s future needs georgetown lost another esteemed rev ident a week later with the death of miss isabel la preston an adopted georgetowner we can bask in the reflection of knowing that such an important woman chose our town as the place to spend her last years quiet and unassuming many did not know that her contribution to plant breeding had mede her world famous countless gardens will be more beautiful with flowers which her skih and knowledge developed during hef years at the ottawa experimental farm out into toe wild white yon der grab the shovel and make the snotf fly chuckling

expert tells esquesing dinner l of 1udj towns now competing for industry should never have industry at all but should be left lovely fresh places in which to irffi so spoke gordon blair director of business develop ment for burlington friday night at a dinner in stewart town call given jointly by the beeve george leslie and dep uty beeve wilfrid leslie all the mnety guests at the dinner were in some wsy con nested with the township and it was the first reeve or deputy reeves dinner which included wives oy officials mr blair a pest mayor of partington contended that the present system of taxation on p for educational pur poses forced municipalities to compete for industrial assess ment frequently where it wis neither desirable nor economical fsr the nmniapahty the oft heard statement we need more industry tojielp pay taxes is the wrong philo sophy to attract industry he maintained he pointed out thit industry la a mixed blessing necessitating many expensive services he stated that the formation of a helton county industrial commission the first on a coun ty wid bas was only common sense white the municipality in which the industry is located is the only one to accrue taxa tion the other municipalities do benefit since che county as sessment goes up and keeps the comity rats down he added the plunkett bsferrtng to ki needs study ri that this study was closely con- 4 nested with regional govern- 1 meat which be said might be the answer to the ugh edocat urn easts 4o individual munici palities he wondered if regional gov eminent would mean the dis appearance of halton county as an entity since this study includes peel and ualton joint ly the- signs seem to point to regional government with present boundaries being chang ed or completely disregarded he explained that in divid ing ontario into ten regional development areu burlington was included in the niagara area many of us felt if the government could separate bur lington from halton when bur lington pays 40 of county costs we d better look care fully he warned he pointed out that if burlington s 40 were removed the heavy weight could fall on the next largest municipality oakville in which case he continued oak nils could spplyto become a city leaving the rest of halton a dead duck governments are sneaky he joked except of course municipal governments he ad ded looking around the hall a large conference on region al development was held which it became apparent an environment favourable to re gional government was being created in conclusion he pointed out that noone knows the right answer butadvocated everyone trying to make themselves ware of current happenings if you dont try to solve it somebody else will solve it for you and perhaps less to your liking be stated cohost of the dinner deputy he remarked beeve wilfrid leslie thanked the speaker andfrs w leslie presented mrs blair with mrs george leslie thanked womens institute for the deli cious dinner and congratulat ed them on their upcoming 40th birthday following the speeches the evening continued with euchre playing and dancing to doris hulls bill hulls and clarence varey at the beginning of the eve ning reeve george leslie ex plained that in the past it had been customary for the reeve to have a dinner at the end of the year and the deputy reeve to have one at the start of the new year last year however there was none at all so this year the reeve and deputy reeve decided to pool together and have a large dinner which would include the ladles county govt out is whitings forecast county government wlb be relegated into limbo lester whiting predicted at a halton county planning association meeting last night he said county government as known today would be re placed by a new concept of government along regional lines following the peelhslton report of thomas plunkett which is expected later this year when the report is received the association would receive a new status and authority in county planning mr whiting said the associations chairman robert serena of burlington al so stated that qtgerjqcm ef government is in the offing car tip never race a cold igine it burns a fearful mount of
