georgetown herald published by hem newspapers limited 22 main street s georgetown ontario w c blihn publisher thursday april 21st 1966 editorial comment good centennial project county council s decision to provide i 1500 trees to brighten the rural landscape 1 part of canada s centennial is a wise one the onslaught of tht deadly dutch r elm disease has played havoc with rural and urban landscapes and an organized campaign to plant more treat is a spur which l is needed to restore some of the natural j beauty tn this part of the province red maple sugar maple and ash are the choice for this proect and they are being made available to rural residents at i a nominal 50c fee t arsenic lace fine show georgetown little theatre has chosen a natural for its closing production of the season in the tried and tested arsenic and old lace one of broadways most successful comedies it has been made into a hit movie wfiich has often been televised on thelate shows a whacky comedy it has appeal for all age groups some fat character parts for actors7and an endearing story which never fails to tickle audiences it is a particularly good choice for on amateur theatrical group we recall years back seeing a performance in elors and noting that it was every bit as professional as the original movie this weeks show black weekend last weeks herald was an extra sad one telling as it did of two fatal accidents which took the lives of four georgetown res klents it seemed particularly tragic that two young high school girls were victims of a freak accident enroute home from attend sng a hockey game in new hamburg an accident in another lane of traffic was re sponsible for pushing a car directly in their path the accident news close on the heels of a plane crash which took the lives of another local couple had a saddening ef fect on every resident it is to be hoped that town people will join the trend and start some plantings of their own for four or five dollars one can secure a tree and there is no expenditure which will pay more future dividends than a handsome tree on a town property the older sections of town known for their beauty are rapidly losing trees some to disease many to ust the inroads of time every year that a tree is not replaced is one more year to wait before we can reap a benefit from natures beauty the time to plant is right after a tree falls to the woodsman s axe should be one of the highlights in a string of successes which this active georgetown group has presented the cast will have an extra reason for putting on a good show saturday night when mrs nora winter president of the western ontario drama league is expected to be in the audience mrs winters home town of simcoe is one of the strongholds of little theatre in ontario we venture to say she will be pleasantly surprised at the calibre of production which she will see here for georgetown has become one of the best theatrical groups in the province in its short history those with high school daughters of similar age shared in the grief of parents whose hopes and dreams were so rudely shattered there was widespread sympathy expressed for their sorrowing families one reads every day m the news about such incidents but it is only when it hits ones own community that we are jolted and reajize that it can happen to us per haps it will be some small comfort for their familes to know that they live in a com munity still small enough to care and to personally feel a community sadness when trouble strikes yuvus1fc news echoes frees she lli el 1 m mi teen a 10 the runaway genii

burlington ont apnl 18th 1966 the editor georgetown herald on july 1st 1966 s national anthem act will come into cf feet in canada under bill c 54 which will officially make one verse of o canada our nal ional anthem i wish to draw the attention of your readers to the fact that there will be two distinct anth ems one in french and one in english to be sung to the same tune but the translations of the two will not have the least similarity in words or meaning it seems amazing to me that our country cannot be united on its national anthem especial ly with centennial year appraa ching but my main objection to bill c64 is that our parliament will proclaim a national anthem in which there is no acknowledge menfof god a supremacy in our land our present anthem rec ognizea divine power and seeks continuance of his guidance has canada d6ne so well in its first 100 years that it can af ford to drop the pilot the pressure is upon our na uon to take the nsme of god out of all public utterances for fear of offending the few who disclaim him in our schools 1 the war is on no longer is the bible required for the taking of an oath if objected to public gatherings are not bothered bj the failure to formally acknow ledge allegiance to our countr and supplication for divine aid this is not just a passing mat ter of little consequence it i a further thrust of the wedge which may split asunder all cv idence thst this nation believes in god if this happens i am convinced law and order will be undermined and our national conscience and morality will certainly suffer if our legislative bodies and courts consider it necessary to invoke divine direction each day they convene surely it- is fitting for we people to rccog nize god when we sing our nat ionai anthem i suggest that the proposed act be delayed until 1 a national anthem js written in which the supremacy of god is acknowledged in cana da 2 the meaning of the btglish and french translation is the same murray w fisher burlington
