georgetown herald ir m main smart 3 oeonjetown ontario vva co ehbefwlbj allbwavl9st rge4 thumday dk 1st 1966 r editorial comment l georgetown voters jiext monday will ife asked to itafa thif prffnca whether flhl water topwtrmor should beedminu- tifd fay a separata commission rather than em presently aotety a council function t i in tfeftntla agreement with commission with hopes that if this is estab- ffawi water and hydra could eventually cbme under thooontrol of a publk utilities commission as is the caw in several other towns wejer is all too often the ubecr of nfunkpat poimdorvg it is too important a cttnmodity to be used in this way where rand revenue are part of the tax iraav a separate commission should ensure ttvt it like hydro is supplied at cost to rete- fajyars and the necessary rate structure ajblfshed to maintain a lop system the importance of a good water sup ly has been dramatically pointed out this year when a neighbouring community has suffered an industrial setback as well personal hardship on residents a fulltime commission whose man bers can devote their energy to only one problem should be the most efficient me thod and it can relieve council members of om phase of municipal operation which should helpdevelop more efficiency in oth er departments of town affairs it will remove for all time the poi bitty of the tax treasury being augmented at the expense of water users or on the other hand subsidizing waterworks at the taxpayers expense and not so definite another plebiscite question next week huthat of returning to election by general jhi rather than the present 3ward system lajciich has been in existence for several ypars we are inclined to favour this although state are disadvantages which shade our fiphuon somewhat jo generalities we do not believe georget is large enough yet to make a general vote system unwieldy in practice there is very little ward politics evident in present or past jfcndls and tt is not until town grows to dly ly that areas are definite enough to demand individual rep- bajsentatton i nor does candidate interest seem con stant in all parts of town so that the pos sibility exists that several good candidates could contest in office in one ward with acclamations in others the chance of having the best council if one interprets the best as representing the majorrty is undoubtedly in general voting the disadvantage to the public is the possibility of having council members from one part of town only who might favour their own living area consciously or not there is also a disadvantage to candi dates who must canvassfbr votes over the whole town instead of onethird of it wa think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and are going to cast our ballot for the generat vote looks good

three times all his wives are alive net to mention kicking and it doesn t matter how many fine qualities you have a veritable saint of either sex can have a rotten marriage- and a veritable bum ol either aex can have a good marriage you might be better to read a good book about it but after 20 yean of advancing and re treating in that bloodsoaked noman sland between husband and wife i think i have a right to be heard there s nothing wrong with marriage itself it a a venerable institution and some wag will interject here of course so is kingston penitentiary but let us not be cynical no its our modern concep tion of marriage that a ail wrong we laugh at the victor ians prudish stuffed shirts but they were on the rightvtrack for utem marriage washsir ious business evolved to meet specific

there is great deal of interdepcid c a them the white paper re- canadas need for injmi- f our experience of the four years whetwthe num bers of immigrants have risen steadily from some 70 000 a to possibily 200000 indic ates the size of the need of our capacity to provide a wide as sortment of employment oppor tunities the white paper stresses the importance of an immigration program that is consistent with the rapid soph iatlcation of our canadian ec onomy and the paramount dcjyl for upgrading the skills and pjroductivty of our labour force therefore such an immigration programme while continuing awl indeed improving the scope given to humanitarian consid erations ought also to recog- fully canada a need for immigrants who have the qual- ificatons to establish themselves leadily and steadily in this country scp 6 the features of imnwratton legislation and procedures do result in the nationals of certain countries having greater advantages ov ex others in their ability to qnallfy

sweats j wno wish to bring in rela tives from european countries another example in practice is the provision of relatively few immig offices in countries other than europe and there- sore the greater
