over to reeve jack armstrong jack has often said that he had a few things to get off his chest so with the editor away he now has his fling well the tenth man on the council the editor is on holiday h is the silent partner at all meetings but isnt his voice heard wednesday evening following the meeting fc fortunate he is he may say whatever he wiamroout any controversial issue full well knowing that his appointed seat will still be waiting for him in the 1950 council little do we realize just how versatile this tenth matt must be he is a combination ofwriter composi- tor advertising man and several other things that go to make up a good editor advertising yes he even titles his council news so- that more people will read it council ousts priv ies was a recent caption why didnt he say after hours and hours of serious discussion council proposes bylaw improving sanitary conditions but newspapers are practically useless unless they are read what a mishap for a community were it to lose the weekly blast 1 think of the many little interesting dev elopments we would not find out for weeks to come were it not for this periodical the arrival of a new baby at friend neighbours points of interest about a citizen passed beyond sport council suburban and other interesting items last but not least as far as the editor is concerned the local press is a show win- dow for community merchants a place where they may display their wares and prices so that we may view them without walking out of our own home but let us not forget it is our paper too if we find something newsyit is our duty to relay it to the editor so that our friends may also enjoy it even in the newspaper business the spirit of cooperation prevails on october 3rd history will record the passing of another mayor from the annals of municipal admini stration mayor joe as he is more cdmmonly known at his retirement will have completed nearly seventeen years as a publicseryant we as citizens of the town of georgetown are fully sware of the many hours of his time that he has devoted to town business all we can say is joe you have served faithfully and well those of us who haye had the privilege of sitting in his barber chair know full well that in many cases town business came before our hair cut not only has joe a long record of years in munici pal office but it is believed that he is the second oldest merchant in length of years operating his own business on our main street his record is surpassed by john mcbean who is- presently operating his business next to the bank of commerce in passing let us not forget other men who have given freely of their time to serve in the office of mayor of georgetown in the early i920s georgetown was incorporated as a town with the reeve at that time mr leroy andy dale becoming the first mayor since then we have had the late donald mclntyre who served as councillor reeve and mayor and warden of halton county the late j b mackenzie who served as councillor and then mayor and harold cleave who served as councillor reeveand warden of the county of halton and finally mayor to these pub licspirited men goes a great deal of credit for making our town one in which we as citizens feela great sense of pride fall fair this week this is fall fair time in ontario and with the clos ing of the cne the smaller shows get into fullswing and before many days foil will be gathering together at one of the most pleasant events of the year it is a season when the products of the farm field and garden are harvested and the best specimens displayed at the fair among the 260 fall fairs of the province george town fair ranks in high order it must be with a sense of pride that the- esquesing agricultural society pre sents on friday and saturday of this week their 1 03rd annual show i farmers and their families meet atlhe fall fair to display the products of their skill and husbandry and igttjpa many fine exhibits afe usually on display at its

chance of tasting some real appe- tizing relish 6r delicious pie or cake the animalsfcoo play an important role in the fall fair one who has ever visited a fall fair cart- for get them while shown on a much smaller scale than the royal winter fair nevertheless the owners are just as deeply interested and competition js just as keen it is more personal for those entering animals for exhibi-

arouses more enthusiasm at the small fair than the great exhibi- it hbvsttrfwsthtsesbeeh- said mat fall fairs do riot mean as much to the youth of today as to youngsters of days gone by and while it is agreed that many farm youngsters have more opportunities of obtaining other sources of amusement nevertheless we are still inclined to believe that the fall fair still holds its fascination for both chidren and those of maturer years and we fur- the- are convinced that fall fairs will still continue to provide a source of enjoyment to all borne vary una alexander ap plet frown st the bone of
