georgetown herald published by hem newspaper limited 22 main street south georgetown ontario w c biehn publisher page 4 thursday april3rd 1969 editorial comment career possibilities here all too often young people are look ing for far away fields when they enter a business career without realiitng that the best place may be right at home last week following their call to the bar it was pleasant to report that two men are of different minds and intend to seek their livelihood in the town in which they grgw up the yge to settle in a faroff glace is riot of course a vice nor is it ununderstan dable to adults if one is ever going to travel the rime to do it is in one s youth then there are no ties to bind one no roots to pull up especially if this has already been done by attending school in another community as life s tempo increases it is mcreas ingly easier and becoming even more com mon for ontario youths to gravitate to the west coast and for mantimers to head for ontario but this was not uncommon a hun dred years ago either most of us would not be in canada today had our british or european ancestors not emigrated to a new land and canada s west is heavily popu lated with descendants of men and women who generations ago also felt that strange wanderlust for those who resist the travel urge however there is a bright and happy future right in ones own home town when that home town happens to be georgetown how lucky can one be to bo born in a thriving town right in the centre of can ada s industrial heart yet also one of its most prosperous farming areas two big cities at our door opportunity galore for obs in industry for a business of one s own a trade or profession new generation of toys a visit to the merry go round on wes- leyan street made us realize how fast a parent whose children are now in their teens can lose touch with toy trends its six or eight years since we passed from the toy buying stage only to start again as a grandfather and our visit to this new georgetown store was to purchase a little easter gift for the new generation we found a complete flipover n the type of toys we were used to today it s a talking age instead of the toy telepnone that v e bought a dozen years ago today one hears tfv6ice and can carry on a conversal on with over 40 different friends as the pos ter says depending on how many little re eordings one wishes to buy a picture book is no longer ust that instead one pulls a string and the story a clock picture tells the becomes graphic time in rhyme even better than the electric trains which all too often were a plaything for dad primarily is the hot wheels a cleverly contrived plastic contraption where one can i run little cars up and over chairs tables or j what you will easy enough for a six year old to put together and relatively unbreak able today we have boy and girl dolls an other parent confided that they seem to be not ced more by the adults than the kid d es there is a much heavier emphasis on plastic type toys although wood is still popular too we could go on but we aren t telling you parents anything new nor more exper lenced grandparents than us if you re about our board meeting i dont suppose many of you know what its like to bs a dirt ector or a company on the surface it looks great some big operators hlte rob ert winters or general losta few are directors in half a do- ten companies and it doesnt seem to bother then they go to directors meetings vote the way theyre suppose dto and pick up ther annual directors fee anywhere from lod0 to 5 000 depending onf wcio they are and how much prestige is attached to the name by some legal fluke i am still the director of the company in which i started a brilliant newspaper career on about 28 cents the rest was cash mon ey borrowed from relatives in surance policies and everytning know how the paper should be run and they are not loath to say so there are the directors wh buy a five dollar advertisement twice a year hut expect the paper to carry two pdcturej flattering and a two column account of theor daughters wed- ding for free ard there are the director who scretm with outrage when you report in all honesty that theyve spent 2 weeks in flo rida or california or mexico they dont want their customer to think theyre making that kind of money and if course theyd bo equally furious if you hadnt mentioned it and there are the directors who are fanatics about the halton east m p jim snow reports tow stores and see for yourself clergy column new feature this week the herald begins a new feature
