division of the c wna t the editors corner cooperation doe the trick while sundays rain will do some good to ease the water shortage it is by no means ended and co operation of everyone in thetnunieipality is still need ed m saving water in order that chough will be avail- able for ordinary use and as a reserve supply in case of fire councils order that the use of garden hose at all times is prohibited is still in force and indications are that the restriction will have to be continued for the balance of the summer this is not a nuisance order of the town cjluncil but a very necessary one for with out a sufficient water supply the town would be in a precarious position especially if a serious fire were to occur whilo the order applies only to use of garden hose there are many other places where water can be saved therearesomecaseswhere people hayebeen in the habit of letting a tap run on a bottle of milk for refrigeration others where leaky taps have been neg lected and it is surprising how much water can be thoughtlessly wasted in this way if present tests turn out as anticipated next summer we will have all the water we wish from the new system which will be in operation by that time test pumpings on monday indicated that the supply from the new deep well system will be somewhere be tween five and six hundred gallons a minute if this is the case we shall hear no talk of water shortages when another summer rolls around until that time we urge everyone to use common sense and conserve water wherever possible we like the giveaways we have been following with interest the con troversy in the states about whether the popular gie- away radio programs should be allowed to continue the federal bureau of communications has banned such shows effective october 1st and at least one ma jor network intends to defy the ban and if necessary fight it out in court to challenge the new law itie radio columnist in a toronto newspaper has been car rying on a campaign against the shows and has brought out many good points in favour of radio itself cleaning house mr keston who writes the column is pf the opinion that the give aways are rum- ing radio as a medium of entertainment and spoiling the chance of good talent at the expense of the gamb ling instinct inherent in human nature while this is a good argument we are inclined to think that enter tainment is anything which people enjoy and if a give away show is interesting enough to hold its listeners then it is entertainment when any one show fails to attract interest it will fail to attract a sponsor and the situation will automatically take care of itself radio like everything else also has its phases and no matter how interesting the present programs are the time will come when the public will tire of them and something else will take their place so the situation will automatically take care of itself in time mean while we continue to enjoy listening to the american program where records are played backwards for iden tification by listeners called by phone in various parts of the country pot pourri nature came to the rescue in georgetown on sunday with an allday downpour of rain which re plenished dwindling water supplies water was so scarce on saturday that the town hired sanfords sound truck to tour the town warning people that the use of garden hose at any time was prohibited for those who received early copies of the herald last week may we say that mr and mrs george barber jr are calling their new daughter joann the first few copies printed had mrs barbers maiden name patricia robinson put in error as the name of the baby what the proofreader sees before he makes his corrections was shown quite unintentionally last week when an account of the smith stone ball game lipped into the paper without checking in case readers were wondering bakelite edged out clay press by a close 1312 score not 132 as reported tragedy always seems more realistic when it involves the personal element we read with horror aa many others must have of the terrible air crash in manitoba which took so many lives a few days later we no ticed in the chesley enterprise that one of the vi- tims a mr graff of kitchener was the husband of one of the schneider girls whose home was just down the street when we lived in chesley then last fri day some relatives called on their
