Samuel, local industrialist with Curvply and Ply designs in Orono sees 1975 as a tough, tough year . He felt that Canadian industry would be held back due to the conditions in the United States. He said the key is held by the American economy. Mr. Samuels pointed out that the governments were hiring more and more people who do not contribute to the gross natural product of the country. He stated that big deficits by the government only make it necessary that the, government borrow funds from the peoplç through such as the Canada Savings Bonds and that this reduces funds that could have been available to the private sector and industry. These funds, he said, are lost to help with the growth of the country. In the matter of price controls, he felt, that they were unacceptable as they would only discourage production and create shortages. MAYOR GARNET B. RICKARD Mayor Rickard of the Town of Newcastle states that one feature of 1974 with which he was most pleased with as regards the municipality was the acceptance by all people of the adjustment that had to be made under the reorganization of municipal structure.

For 1975 he felt wouiu be i.', significant growth in the municipality or locally in the Orono area. He felt this would be due to the position of the economy and a pattern of levelling off that is appearing. He stated that ,he was concerned with the disapportionment of residential develop ment in the town compared to industrial and commercial development. Although facts are not as yet readily available he believes they will show a considerable gap had developed. This will narrow in 1975 he said due to a reduction in residential development in the community. Emphasis by council, he felt, in 1975 should be directed to the establishing community identities throughout the town including such centres as Orono, Kendal, Leskard, Newtonville, Newcastle and even Kirby. He felt that council could give some direction and assistance in this so that residents of the community would be aware of their future and also play a part in directing their future plans. * Also as a farmer the Mayor felt that 1975 for the farming industry would be a difficult time. He pointed out that the cycles of up and downs had been lengthened due to government involvement and loan monies available. He stated that the Ontario farm industry was based chiefly on livestock and that this industry was pinched by the high costs of feed, fertilizers and most commodities commodities to run the industry.
