i georgetown herald 51 main strwl 5 gfwgrtownr ontario w c nbwi nmfaner pace 4 thursday march 10th 1944 editorial comment benefit to town the planned apartment building for senior citizens will be a forward step for town and the kiriimen club deserves a word of appreciation for their efforts in planning this todays inflationary world when it is hard enough for an employed person to budget his income is that much harder for a person who must live on a government pension and the interest he receives from the capital he has acquired the knowledge that he does not have to face spiralling rents will be a real comfort to many people caught in this cost squeeze a person who has completed his working years contributed to georgetown s econ omy through his parttcipahon in jne towns work force deserves to spend hts retire ment years in comfort the senior aniens apartments will not only help to balance minimal budgets but will put a group of men and women of similar ages in pleasant surroundings with congenial neighbours the location dose to the park and hospital and within walking distance of downtown is ideal the kinsmen wih be devoting them selves to protects to raise the

share the difficulty of financing a large scale hockey program without some assistance from tba municipal treasury was pointed out last week to council by roy norton sr acting as spokesman for the m nor hockey support group the group has promoted hockey en tries in the ontario minor hockey associa tion for some years has won championships which have brought good advertising to our town and brought healthy recreation to hondrednef young men whether the 1 000 requested can be found in this years tight budget is a ques tion mark although we would think at least a part of the request would be met at the meeting it was suggested that esquesing twp should also be approach ed to assist as the hockey program embrac es young people from that municipality also th s brings up a po nt which we think town council should investigate much more fully today every town has a problem of keeping up with the civ c services deman ded by ratepayers while keeping tax rates at a level where owning a home does not become an overwhelming burden there are some services provided in georgetown which are open to and used by a good portion of the surrounding coun tryside the arena swimming pool end library are three which readily come to mind the town perk the cemetery the citizens band extend advantages to rural residents is it not fair then to ask the township to pay some proportion of the grants which such boards and organizations get from town ratepayers one could of course argue that town residents get some benefits from the coun try too picnic spots swimming hunting hikes but the amount of tax money in volved n these is negligible could it not be possiblesfbr town and township politicians to examine the whole problem as they have done with fire de partment and ambulance services and ai sess some share of recreation costs to be paid by esquesing blitz night on monday th work of the canadian red cross society in georgetown district is almost too well known to need

older worker in oar so ciety there are still a great tnany capable older workers with many yean o useful employment ahead of them who are being denied the opportunity to work be cause of negative attitude held by employers regard ing chronological age and employment we now have enough reliable information and studies from social welfare bodies and other organizations to help us re line that many of the myths and stereotypes held about the capabilities of the older worker are not only untrue but can have a bad effect upon our developing and productive economy consequently the new leg

reform nec essary in farlament on hs eration that all bur time to date has been spent on matters gen erally of government spending end that no significant legislat ion has been debated to date let alone passed in this column i would like to briefly discuss one the recommendations of the se nate committee on aging this deals with a minimum annual income for canadians over the age of 65 years the senate committee feel that every sin gle canadian 65 years and over should have a guaranteed annu al income of at least 1260 t109 a montbt and a married couple 65 years and over should have a guaranteed annual in come of at least 2220 siss a month the report that qui be a income and would be paid in whole or in part if other tact me is present by the federal government the proof of income that would be required would be the income tax return which filed with the government each year this approach to me app ears to be an excellent one it would guarantee that canadian at age 65 would bare a minimum income of 105 month and each married coup le at age 65 would have mum income of vms a month at the same time this system exclude those people who do not need financial ass- gov eminent- the raise in the pension would co to those who need it rattier than a flat rate increase to ev rer a certain age in i personally think this very food method as there we arrived in bast cloth and bast
