the HERALD Provinces are being protectionist Home Newspaper Halton Hills Established 1866 A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Guelph Street Georgetown Ontario Publisher and General Manager Editor PAUL Advertising Manager Clan Mil Page SECTION A THE HERALD Wednesday April IMS Water and growth Industrial development in may seriously be jeopardized just at a time when more acreage has been ap proved by the provincial government Regional councillors need to give residents solid representation on this crucial issue of water and growth From a positive side Halton Hills was just granted acres to rezone as rural industrial Now the bad news A study from Halton Region indicates that Milton is at a crossroads about water servicing and its own expansion Miltoti is pondering about whether to use water from underground streams or pumping water from Lake On tano If the stream based system is implemented by digging more wells Halton Hills may have trouble getting its prime industrial land near Highway serviced That spells trouble for Halton Hills The municipality has been a weak sister when it comes to industrial and residential growth in Halton Region While many people want the size of the town to remain the same the reality of the situation is that taxes will have to rise drastically if the towndoesn The solution is to bring in more industry to town to broaden the tax base But if Milton decides on a stream fed system to expand its sewage plant and servicing the Highway industnal belt could be affected The alternative seem much better If Milton hooks up to Lake Ontario water from OakvilleBurlington there is a risk of overdevelopment all over Region Pressure would be put on Hills to hook up to a pipeline if Milton did and as Pam Sheldon says valuable farmland would be gobbled up in the process Us obvious that Halton Region needs a blueprint on where it needs to go in developing its water supplies While some municipalities need more industry and housing others need to plan carefully and reduce the shocks of growing too quickly Water servicing is the key here and each of the four regional municipalities will have to sit down and iron out a policy compatible to all Hills needs to grow but it also needs to consider the implications of development in areas to its south and Positive outlook Progress it sin the air Can you feel if Inside the pages of this week s Herald you 11 find numerous stones about business in Halton Hills In our annual review of industry In town our reporters discovered a buoyant attitude and facts and figures to back up this optimum What we call a progress edition is really a random count of a variety of businesses to try and gauge how our town is up in these changing economic times Our consensus As our subtitle suggests The Outlook Is Positive Businesses are expanding and more staff are being hired for a multitude of jobs We were surprised at the number of familyowned and family operated firms which are thriving Whether large or small companies have weathered the recessions in the past and are looking forward to continued progress No Sunday shopping Thornton Service Many of Canada political leaders talk bravely when It comes to touting the benefits of Tree trade Ironically while efforts are being made to reduce barriers Interna llonally some the most blatantly protectionist practices indulged In by Canadians trade across provincial boundaries Last November when Pr me Minister Brian Mulroncy and the provincial premiers met at their an economic summit they agreed to do about that taction A3 a general rule he first ministers declared increased In tcmgional trade will lead to ty Improvements and Import substitution and thereby benefit all regions of the country The response was to set up an tcrgnvcmmenlal committee to in vestigate ways of knocking down hurdles to trade The committee reports June on what might be done to eliminate t in such areas as liquor board marketing practices ana govern purchasing In March the federal provincial and territorial governments chose James randy as their committee chairman It was a good choice The 66yearold randy a native of Thunder Bay has had a varied career In trade and Industry A Rhodes Scholar who studied at Ox Editors notebook By Dave Sunday As one retailer wisely scribbled on his survey form Sunday openings will do nothing to Increase a family disposable Income but will make It costly for the retailer to do Former Herald staff reporter Chris is making a name for himself in the world of dally newspapers Formerly the number three man at the newspaper not third on Ihe hit list Chris was pro moted last week to the post of City Editor That means hell be In charge of day today operations at the newspaper Including local news assigning stories editing copy and laying out pages of the Cambridge Reporter One more promotion and the former Herald reporter will be Ihe Managing Editor Canadian Tire did its own indepen dent survey polling customers who were In the store Jan Feb 13 and Feb The results are that per cent don want Sunday shopping per cent are for Sunday shopping and 13 per cent dldnt have an It seems then that when the Chamber Is asked by the Town of Halton Hills for their opinion on Sun day shopping laws the answer will be clear Based on the Chamber survey business In Georgetown doesn have a strong feeling for opening on Sun day ana thus could petition the local when the time comes to things the way they are Complete results are back from the Georgetown Chamber of Com mere Sunday shopping survey The end result was that a majority of respondents preferred to have the editing law remain Of answers received per cent prefer the status quo while 37 per cent don support the existing law allowing on y a few businesses to open Sunday Most people felt it I be up to the municipalities to decide whether stores could remain open Including hours of operation A whopping per cent felt local government should determine retailers hours compared to per cent who felt that was okay When asked If they felt retailers should have the choice of opening Sunday per cent said yes while per cent said no A majority of people thought the Chamber should poll the entire com munity about Ihe Sunday shopping laws per cent compared with 30 per cent against the ideal When retailers were asked about Sunday shopping laws responded and 3B per cent said they would open Sunday their competition opened Sunday That compares with per cant who wouldnt succumb to the and would refuse to open Former Georgetown District High School student Stephanie Gorln Is all grown up ana raising some eyebrows among the theatre set for her recent accomplishments The 30yearold got her latest break at the Royal Alexandra Theatro in March when she filled in for an ailing actress for the play One Way Pendulum She was doing receptionist duties between acting lobs and was given a day notice before on stage acting out the comic role of Sylvia The Georgetown native went to for theatre arts and took music theatre at Sheridan College She has worked overseas and spent one year with the Welsh Opera Com She has already performed In a slew of Canadian theatres including the Sudbury theatre centre Elgin House Canada Wonderland and the Huron Country Playhouse she was also an actress with the Interplay Theatre Company In Ireland and toured with them and performed Burning Topic and A Royal Pardon Stephanie got her first start with the Georgetown Little Theatre sold her mother Hazel ford he has been on the board of such companies as Monsanto Canada and Canadian Marconi Before that he had worked his way up In the federal service to the level of assistant secretary to the cabinet and served as deputy minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs and Industry Trade and Commerce TRADE EXPERT During his public service tenure he worked on the Canada U Auto Pact and General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade the world trade referee Whats more after leaving the federal service In 1975 he set up a consulting partner ship with Simon now Canada chief trade negotiator He II need to use all that expertise when he tries to develop a trade barrier agreement acceptable to all governments Interprovlnclal trade barriers are a longstanding irritation They have been erected by governments trying to keep business at home That not altogether an unreasonable goal It Is after all one of the roles of a pro vincial government to try to create and maintain Jobs for its citizens The problem is some barriers have resulted in higher costs and in efficiency Some Instances have been downright ridiculous A c occurred three years ago when the Quebec town of Aylmer near Ottawa built a sidewalk with Ontario made bricks Because Quebec requires made products for such projects com pitted walk was ripped out and started anew with Quebecmade bricks Officials working on the trade- barriers committee now fee the time Is right for something to be done Provincial premiers are in theory committed to removal of barriers Besides the recent GATT decision that found Canadian llauor marketing practices determined by the provinces to be a violation of in tcrnallonal trade rules will keep at tent Ions focused MUST RESPOND Canada must respond to the ruling by the end of 1963 and that of flcials say will provide impetus toward an agreement Theoretically says Robert Knox the federal cochairman of the officials group working on the agreement the GATT ruling has no relationship because offshore bar riers have nothing to do with bar In Canada On a more practical level 11 means that If we have to res pond to GATT then we presumably have to have agreement here It would be an Intolerable Irony If foreign producers have easier ac cess to provincial markets than our own producers says Knox Officials hope to come up with a set of pro posals that are acceptable to all governments They do not expect however to arrive at firm conclu sions on one of most Intractable Issues beer marketing Under ex Istlng practices beer companies must have a brewery in each pro vince in which they sell their pro duct Thai is a vested Interest which may prove to be the most difficult to resolve Its evident that Jobs in the Newfoundland brewing In dustry mean a lot more to that depressed economy than a couple of thousand jobs might In booming Toronto Nevertheless even on the beer front the goof will be some recom on how to deal with the problem in future The committee will want to keep everyone talking The next two months could prove critical to Grandys efforts And if the provincial premiers really meant their declaration of last fall success should bring about a more efficient and competitive economy Dear Sir Enclosed is on
