georgetown herald pwhnmmi by hmm pmwtpcpere immhmi 22 main street g qntario wr mi hi riii tiiin thursoay june 2nd 1966 editorial comment main stmt heading up a large business block being construe- f led on main street forecasts an upward we vend in downtown property values and x should play a vital role in encouraging fu- lure development jn the town older com mercial centre the building is only the second major construction in the last quarter century al ready it is being followed by others across street a tfuit company has acquired the v- christian reformed church property and plans to locate there later this year and this week another large business block has been sold which could add still more to the attractiveness of the downtown district with xoper renovations the predictions that main street was through with the growth of the shopping plazas have long since proven false today it is realized that two or three shopping dis tricts are good for everyone and that a good merchant can prosper in any location if ho is on his toes what dowyrown property owners must realize still is that you must spend money to make money stores must be attractive modern and filled with merchandise at com parative prices adequate parking must be provided and can only be done by sharing in the cost of acquiring and preparing land for this purpose we need more people with the fore sight to look beyond the current years profits like those who areshawqo in mam street s development today for some reason it has never been possible for georgetown merchants to get together for any length of time and keep an active businessman s association going per haps today would be the time to try il again cedarvale on display georgetown s centennial proect will be officially on display for the first time this saturday the community centre board establi shed by town council to operate this fine addition to georgetown s recreational facii- 1 hies has arranged an open house and offic lal opening there will be conducted tours of the property from 2 00 to 4 30 at three o clock the mayor centennial chairman cr bill smith and halton s two members of parliament will officiate at a ribbon cutting ceremony and tree planting the citizens bend and girls pipe band wijl be participat ng and there will be pop and balloons for the children while many town people- are quite familiar with this beautiful property there are others who have never actually been insiderthe frontgateirunhl the town acquir ed it it vs a private school for girls op erated by the united church with a stream trees and rolling land it has natural beauty and ideally suited for like a trip hs only one little drop in the bucket but we resent a 7 000 grant from canada s centennial commiss on which will take a group of alberta school girls on an 8prov ince tour a news release from the commiss on reports this as an assistance to 46 girls stu- dents at i academic assomption in edmon ton they begin a one month tour june 1st with dscorts they hope to gain greater understand ing of canada s social cultural and political life from their trip the report says it is an educationally oriented project in coordm ation with the social studies program in ai berta fine but why should canadian tax payers be nicked for 7 000 how long are we going to fork over more and more taxes for a bureeucracywhieh apparently wilt spend money on any scheme which a polrti- public purposes it is centrally located and is an extremely valuable acquisition for the future when georgetown is a town much larger than today it will be an oasis which cannot be measured in dollar value no one can expect that cedarvale will immediately become an all purpose recrea tion centre town finances preclude any large sums of money to be spent there in the next few years the buildings in their present form can fill some needs the land can certainly be used and enjoyed without maor expend lures meanwhile the board must proceed cautiously sorting out ideas which range from botanical gardens to baseball diam onds bandshells to a theatre always keep ing an eye on the money which might be available the main po nt is that we now own the

that a country like an roaa vlaik indivdual can bankrupt itself by foolish a cmnguacousy township expenditures by unbalanced budgels the sad fact is that today wo have no political parties with the courage to say no no politicians who look farther than the next election and not many vo ters who can resist the blandishment of a supposed extra dollar in their own pocket and hang the tax rise it might cost maybe we need men at ottawa and queen s park like some of our local munici pal leaders who can say no and try to pare a budget to what they believe taxpayers can afford harley to halton wbkiy observations by dt harry harley mp for halton there has been aome mis understanding regarding o canada which will be proposed es our national anthem prob- ebly in this session of parlia meat the government has the following notice on the order paper that the government be auth orized to take such steps may be necessary to provide that t canada shall be the nat ional anthem of canada while god save the queen shall be the boyal anthem in canada the government hs not giv n any notice as to when they wql proceed with this in addit ion to this a private member has a private bill on the order taper bill cm an act to provide for a canadian nat lonal anthem as a prirtte bui this will be- debated tear noly mriena the g giatt gtvas owdal ttiaa 4a unlikely it is that thta will pass the house of refrain commons in that tine as there will be a great deal of debate not on the principle of o can ada as our national anthem but on the words to be used it appears obvious thai o cans da u accepted by the majority of canadians aa our national anthem it is the form it it to take that will give rise to debate and discussion in the commons i am sure that most people are sware that the english ver sion and the french version differ greatly in their words the french version translated into english is as follows o canada our fatherland our thy brow is crowned with glory and renown far thine arm that knows bow to raise the sword knows bow to uphold the cross thy valor ia a glowing word on history i page across honour and faith like sentries stand to guard our liberties our land our land to guard our liberties our land our land neath the eyes ef god by mountain lake and stream we canadians dwell wrapt in a golden dream our land we know below the skies is fairest or the earth by heroes deeds and martyrs sighs twas blessed at its birth raising our flag proudly on high wefwear for it that we will live and die 9 canada for thee we 11 live and die it 15 my personal feeling that this is a good matter to refer to a special committee of he house of commons to determine what the words of 0 canada road leading to terra cotta park may be closed to the public in the near future if other munict palities or the county don t come up with money towards its upkeep chinguacousy reeve cyril clark in a discussion on a pro posed new road to the credi valley conservation authority area said if something isn t done about the road to terra cotta park well find aome usy of closing it so jjbat it becomes very inconvenient for visitors to get there reeve clark said that thou sands of cars from metropolitan torontoand parts of halton and peel use the access road rcgul arly to the great inconvenience of chinguacousy residents we have spent thousands of dollars m surveying three alter nate routes for a new access road and now several of the mu nicipalities whose residents will lis the highway say they will not pay their share of the costs the only way to show them he said la to close the present road until they realize bow much their people miss it deputyreeve edward blair of chinguacousy bad the final word after all this talk of conser vation isn t it rather stupid to tear down
