were laid by the visit of the georgetown hocky team to st joseph dalma there could be no better good will ambassador for georgetown and ontario than our own ken mcmillan and from all reports he met his ecfual in mr demers manager of the bank of montreal and president of the board of trade tn the thriving quebec town that ken was sold on st joseph was evidenced in hrs interesting account of the trip which appeared in the last issue of the herald that he him self did a good job of selling the merit of georgetown we have his word that both mr demers and the mayor of st joseph are planning a trip to georgetown thw summert and it is even rumoured that next winter st joseph might be agreeable to footing the travel bill of the raiders for another go with dolbeau the hockey players who acted as gentlemen both on and off the ice left a most pleasant impression on the quebecoise an impression which dolbeau equalled when they visited oshawa both teams were possibly- looking for some belligerence in the opposition and when each found the other more than willing to play the game the result was three games of aa nearperfect hockey as one could imagine the same spirit carried into all interprovincial affairs would have a salutary effect on solving the differences betwen two great pro- something could be done ever since we first set foot in georgetown over eight years ago we have been bothered by the eyesore called central park this large block of land deeded to georgetown some years back by the lawson estate to be used as a public park has never been fully utilized and today stands idle a blot on the landscape a pre requisite to any improvements in the land would be to have the paper mills stop dumping odorous waste materials into the stream which meanders through the property thi9 up to now has been a stumbling block but with sewerage coming it it to be hoped this will be taken care of it is then possible to make some initial plans for a long term improvement project looking over the property as we did one day re cently we vision a scheme somewhat as follows a dredging the stream from the john street bridge to the highway to remove the accumulated filth of the years and to provide banks for thatream which would help to avoid spring flooding b clearing the land seeding it down and laver planting trees and shrubs c providing swings slides etc for children the remnants of these are still to be found at the far end of the park but have not been used for many years d investigating the possibility of acquiring waste land on the far side of the john street bridge dredging the creek and damming it to form a natural swimming pool the one outstanding recreational need which is lacking in town ie building of a band shell and concert stage such as the lions club is discussing in a suitable loca tion in the park a program such as we have briefly outlined above is no small undertaking we should not even hazard a guess as to its cost either in total or part it would first be necessary for some qualified person to make a sur vey of what could be done and draw up a master plan it would then be possible for one or several groups of citizens to take on the job the possibilities are limit less the results incalculable a provincial election it was no particular surprise whtn col drew an nounced that he was calling a provincial election in june the publicity given to the government s deci aion to convert all ontario to 60 cycle hydro the con centration on the formation of high school districts mid the aeries of friday night radio speeches made by the premier were evidence thnt fin sj et was in the off- ing the results should be no more urpnsing for we can think of no good reason why any substantial maj ority of ontario electors will change their minds since 1945 the liberal party which is the only substantial opposition in the house has notbeeu able to find a successor to mitch hepburn with the same fire and dash and the damn me up or damn me down but say something philosophy which made headlines for hep burn and the liberals whenever he spoke we venture to wry that farquhar oliver present liberal leader is not onetenth so well known aa is mitch even in his decline the ccf and laborprogressives are dead docks before they start with the present fear of com- sniwr and extreme rsdicsjisra it la our guess that the great majority of ontario constituencies 4vill maintain t sta qu6 and that the progressiveconservatives will retain a substantial ma jority in the jnext house halton which is in the un ique position of supporting a conservative member in ontario and a liberal member at ottawa might be one v of the question marjcs 1 he present member stan hall had no trouble winning against the opposition of mrs mary pcttit whose qualifications as a county council lor ruted much higher than her weak remarks on the pubic platform m her campaign speeches dr deans of oakyihe this years- liberal nominee should pro vide a much more interesting race and may narrov kir halls majority considerably great moments in the movies- v r w frfem time to time we ready somebody or othtvs selections of the- ten liest movies they have seen iind wo have alyvays wanted tip take a try at it ourselves it is our- thought that itfi much more satisfactory to choose a scene from a movie rather than a complete picture- those which stick in our memory include i the boat scene in dodsworth when walter huston told ruth chatlerton he was not going home to america with her t 2 a later scene in the same picture when dods worth returned to mary astor in italy and their re union was expressed in her face looming larger and larger on the screen as his boat neared the dock 3 the technicolor wedding of the painted doll sequence in broadway melody in the days when it was still a novelty to bill a movie as all-talk- ing this backstage story with bessie love anita page and charles king has never been surpassed 4 garbos suicide scene in anna karcmna light and shadow from a moving train reflecting on her face before she jumped a close runnerup the suicide in a tallulah bankhcad picture expressed by a scream ing of seagulls and a fadeout ofher husband or lover forget which several miles away saying something must be disturbing the gulls today 5 practically any scene in danny kayes first picture up in arms particularly where he reads his draft call and president roosevelt recites the formal jwords 6 a scene in a marx brothers picture where the brothers refuel a train by tearing it aparrrgrouchohol lering timber and any scene in the several marx brothers shows involving groucho and the stately margaret dumont 7 the situations in the recent dear ruth a comedy so generally excellent and well cast that no in dividual part stands out above another 8 the dramatic end of mae clarke in water loo bridge whenher white fox fur is a target for ger man bombers and is all that is left on the shattered bridge this did not apjpoar in a later remake with robert taylor and vivieri leigh 9 the general excellence of all quiet on the western tront still the best war picture ever made with a stand out performance by lew ayres 10
