addition to nine regular meeting during the year the annual picnic was held in june at the home of mrs em batkin at wildwood and la april the 9th an niversary dinner was held in limehouse memorial hall i he iode motto is achievement and the above bears out the fact that the local chapter follows this to the letter whos george what can george do has anyone seen george these and othir catch phrases had readers wondering when they appeared in small display space in the herald two weeks ago last week came the de nouement george is you and me george is george town in fact recreationally speaking and was used to introduce a time andtalent survey planned by george town recreational committee to find out what george town people want in the way of organized recreation the campaign was sparked by this newly formed or ganization under the chairmanshfp of alex maclaren with active assistance from other committee members questionnaires were distributid on saturday by the boy scouts to almost every georgetown home and yes terday the scouts were out again to collect the answered sheets trom this information the grc will set to work to tabulate results to find out what activities have the preference and then to organize these i he new grc has made an auspicious start while they are wisely proceeding slowly it is to be hoped that they do not delay too long in introducing some practical aspects of the programme no decision has yet been made on the hiring of a full or part time recreational director at the present time at least one trained man is available locally who could get sports really perking ibis to us seems a most sensible start ing point financially the grc is not in a position at present to bring in a trained outsider full time and yet a man who will devote a certain part of his time to the program is essential enthusiasm of volunteer assist ants wanes continuity can not be kept unless some one who is being paid for their services is at the head of an active program i he sooner such a man can be obtained the sooner recreation can play its part in our dailyttle how honest are we news reports of the looting of an automobile which was involved in a particularly tragic tram crash in which two men lost their livi a in toronto last week makes us wonder how essentially honest we human beings are it reminds us of the freight tram wreck here last year when ordinarily respectable people were witiussed carting off goods from the wrecked freight cars some of those good valuable and some of them of no value whatsoever to these people we have a double standard of values too when it comes to gar den thievery people who would not think of picking a strawberry from their neighbours garden think noth ing of pillaging apple trees or corn fields in the country some who would think it a crime to pick a rose from a town garden will blithely drive into the country and hack down a tree from a farm woodlot at christmas time it would seem that within human nature in a seed of dishonesty which however dormant it might be occa sionally is tempted t6 rise to the surface it is particu larly encouraged at times of mental excitement fires- floods and such it is something against which each of ly must fight perject honesty is only another way of aying love thy ne directory j mbottumtmaamhsaommhicas dr j burns milne denial burgeon gsuitlim pfc m
