v tl 9 k georgetown herald pubrtlwa by hornet ntrwtpapers limited 22 main street south georgetown ontario w c mmn pumhher page 4 thursday march 20th 1969 i editorial young visitors georgetown is hosrjthis week to hun- i dreds of youngsters from many ontario communities and a few in the united states et the annual international hockey tourna- meot the tournament original brainchild of jack gudgeon organized and headed by walter red asseltine for a number of years and now operated by the kinsmen club has proved one of georgetowns best advertisements visitors go home each year iqudjm their praise of the townv hospitality for no only are the young players wlletted in georgetown homes and treated to their meals but entertainment is arranged to fill in some of their spare hours when jiot on the ice the tournament gets good crowd sup- port from the town although this is one area where there can always be improve ment and the kinsmen are hoping this year to set a new record in gate receipts the comment tournament isf costly to opera and like everything else expenses tend to mount each season i the quality of hockey is excellent for competing teams represent the cream of the crop f rorft each community and ontario is known for hockey knowhow if is cer- tajn that some of tomorrows big league stars will come from the players you see on the ice this week ramifications of the tournament are maoy and varied for instance two new georgetown residents are directly attribu table to the tournament they came down with a northern team in the early days of the tourney decided they liked georgetown and whertretirement came they bought a house and moved here georgetown is always on the lookout for new industry who knows the same thing could happen if a manufacturer took the same liking to our town because he is interested j in hockey some good spadework how school has changed great changes are taking place these days in education lets have a look at some of them from a straightforward honest prejudiced point of view and then you decide whe ther they are good or bad corporal punishment is prac- tjcally a thing of the past good or bad i think its good for the students and perhaps bad for some of the tejtchers it never did have any deterrent effect on the students as i know from personal experience as i student it merely made the brutish student more brut ish but it was a great safety valve for the hottempered tea cher inevitably the guidance tea cher has becomein volved with emotional disturbances oiamlly backgrounds physical kanfli- caps and all the other minis that influence a childs behav iour he has become a sort of padre without dogcollar in addition he is expected to guide the student into the right course thus he must convince johnny who wants to be a doe- tor and who failed his grade 10 science dismally that be might be better in another field even worse he has to convince johnnys father who is a doctor and is damn well going to have another one in the family now i know there shouldnt be such things u hottampered i cner teachers but there are theyi are human beings and some f the hottest tampered are the best teachers often they care mere fllad im not a guidance tea- how do you feel about exam inations they too are chang ing in status the emphasis on exams is diminishing and in i some schools they have vanish- led good or bad no more for them the glor- ious release of hurling chalk or my fcelings about tnm m blackboard brush at that snig gering lout in the back seat no more for them the sedative of the clout on the ear the ruler crack on the knuckles the five- ofthebest on each hand that shiny new model we bought last june a detailed report on recreation in georgetown and recommendations which would coordinate existing groups and ac quire government grants not being taken advantage of shows some good spade- work on the part of a new georgetown councillor donna denison first action taken by council last week was to recreate the georgetown recreation commission which has existed on paper since 1946 but has been defunct for several years it is not mrs demsons idea to dispense with nor discredit any existing recreation group in town quite the contrary for in her report she has only praise for those who have looked after such recreation fac ilities as the arena swimming pool and cedarvale centre what she does point out is that unless the town follows a legislative pattern set by the province we are actually losing sev eral thousand dollars in yearly grants which if received would benefit recrea tion by that much more and it is her contention that with the setup which has existed each board in dont forget these with no capital improvements planned for some town streets which are in poor repair we hope council in its 1969 budget will be planning work on some of the main town arteries queen street which takes heavy traf fic from the industrial area is greatly in need of a complete resurfacing armstrong avenue the mem thor oughfare into the new industrial park is a disgraceful sea of mud when it rains and a dust area when it doesnt the mill street hill certainly one of the busiest of town streets
