georgetown herald publrihed by horn nnnftpmn united 22 main strmt south georgetown ontario w c mihn publwier thursday september 28th 1967 editorial comment why not every year watching this colourful centenmal fall fair parade on saturday started us think ing why not an annual event and going farther we wondered if the lions club might not be wise to consi der a shift from the christmas parade and take over this as their annual event it seems jhat almost every year the santa ci a us parade falls on the coldest windiest dreariest day of winter the peo ple who work so hard to create attractive floats often find their handiwork buffeted by wind drenched by rain while the float participants shiver in the wintry blasts par ade watchers are equally cold as they wait for the show to pass by saturday was so different although the parade was somewhat late in starting on its route no one minded waiting on a crisp sunny autumn day the floats were attractive and those parading looked as if they were really enjoying it unfortunate phrasing premier roberts may think he has stum bled on a good election plank with h s com ing of the phrase francoontanans but it doesnt sit well with us we listened to a television speech in which he spoke of the difficulties encoun tered by ontario residents of french ances try in an english speaking province lam ented the school dropouts because of this and told how his government is planning a whole system of secondary education in the french language to compensate for this what is he trying to do it is not enough that canada 5 being ripped apart by generations of pussyfoot ing politicians who have never faced the problem and presented any solutions are we in ontario now to get into th s blculture type of thinking which in the long run only aggravates the plight of a a wonderful fair seldom has weather end attractions combined so beautifully as on saturday for the annual georgetown fall fair from opening to close it was a delight fo the huge crowds the hall exhibits were tasteful and well displayed centre field of the race track was thronged with livestock displays and commercial exhibits the midway was of a much higher calibre than some years women and a few men in centennial dress mingled with the crowds and lent the proper centennial year touch the par we dont want the lions club to think that we are knocking their show far from it we had our stmt too at selling tickets while our hands slowly froze and in wait ing with our youngsters in the long queue receiving their candies from santa we do be i iev that white the santa parade born in the depression years was a real event for kiddies tn those days it has become somewhat superfluous in to day s affluent society most children re ceive far too many gifts in their own homes club lodges unions all have christmas par ties and there are few children who relish the lions affair the way their fathers did a fall fair parade would allow the lions to use their ticket sale money for some of their other public service activities and save the considerable cost of candy but more important we think it would be appreciated more by both public and par ticipants while also giving the fair some publicity small number of residents who have not mastered the english language are the targe number of essex county residents with french backgrounds to sud denly be deluged with the idea that they are different than the rest of us whose an cestors came from britain germany pol and or italy well meaning as mr roberts may be we wonder if he has assessed the results of his plans and is it really going to get h m the votes he expects surely the majority of ontar ans do not want to think of themselves as english french or what have you residents but as canadians nor do we went to be saddled w th an unnecessary expensive system of dual education he might better lend his efforts to a better system of education wh ch would give our residents a speaking knowledge of the french language as a val uable cultural attainment ade was an appealing extra some beards were n evidence to give enother centen nial air antique displays in various parts of the exhibit hall were attractive and created much interest refreshment booths were extremely well patronized the youth in car smash added a new feature and n general there was an air of happiness and gaiety wh ch must have warmed the hearts of all the hard working rrvn an women who pour their energies each year nto creating this fine event whoaiing aftr on flight stairs w good insurance to hav a col lag dtgr that will
