is big oaks from little acorns actons industrial expansion continues to grow on s good sound basis true there has not been the upheaval which would result from the founding of a big new industry which would om- ploy hundreds from tho outset such- o big in dustry may carry disadvantages as well as ad vantages it could cause an expansion that would require much expenditure for public services which would be crippling looking over the local field this week the a p green co building has the new walls up and the roof going on the plant as reconstructed will be larger and bettor suited to the companys re quirements the company is settling its acton plant just next door the walls arc going up quickly on a second extension to micro plastics which from a small beginning has evolved into canadas largest plastic extrusion plant we could go over actons entire industrial picture and draw the same conclusion none of them were large at the inception but have shown continued growth and made actons growth steady and sure up on queen street another small industry is having its beginning this week in the corona shoe company machinery is being installed and shortly its products will go out on canadian countors and its payroll will fit into the industrial- activity of this town were not saying a big new factory wouldnt be accepted in actons industrial structuye but we are saying that the ones which have had a beginning and steady growth here are indeed appreciated and have thus far contributed much to actons betterment and growth one of the strange thine about goodwill is that it growth can be sound only its roots start right in your own backyard among those whom you employ e c row president chrysler corp of canada towns and villages listed in the municipal statistics last year are three villages with over 5 population and seven villages with over 2000 population two of these villages will disappear in the next com pilation of statistics humberstone with a popula tion of 3722 has been annexed to the townof port coborne and ceased to exist from the first of january this year fergus with a population of 3411 has taken the necessary steps and effective january first next year will cast off the village status and be come a town matter of fact fergus could have become a town over a decade ago if it had so desired apparently the residents wanted to be sure as they have been in other places that the population was likely to stay well over the re quired mark before taking the step once a town has taken onstatus it appears that it is not pos sible to revert back to village standing in ontario there are 25 communities listed as towns which have slipped under the 2000 mark the population of these cenres varies from 90 to 1992 some of these places may have attained town status from the fact that they were the county seat of government with the continued growth and expansion of ontario some of them may again attain town population standard of 2000 there isnt much to be gained or lost by calling a centre a town or a village according to the listing in the municipal statistics the bigvillages are becoming towns in name now as well as in fact and figurerfyiay be overruling sentiment and a clinging 4o the village titles great men never make bad use of their superiority then see if and feel if and are not less modest the more they hart the more they aunt their own deficiencies rousseau 171378 as the season opens might be well at the beginning of this season when so many in various walks of life are called upon to make speeches if we passed on the com ment we read the other day too many business a speech is troublesome and distasteful and yet in his position as perhaps president of ihe firm now considered part of his duties many such men find this part of their duties so irusomo that they refuse to accept the offices for which they are so well qualified we dont advocate the pro fessional speaker but wo do like the chap who gets up and speaks briefly and on the subfoct with which ho is concerned and sits down a little before he has exhausted the subject and every one else l many times its an imposition to ask a busy man to interrupt his routine to travel mites and sweat over making an afterdinner speeck but were all for brief and informative speech the intimate talks to small groups and we still think there is wisdom in the advice of stand up speak up and shut up probably the best single phrase yet to ap pear out of the welter of us political oratort is general elsenhowers description of the washington administration as being run by too many men who arc too small for their jobs too big or their breeches and foo long in power speeches start out wnh an involved joke are too long try to cover too much ground are too de tailed are poorly organized in shortdull we have always felt sorry for the business man who is ofien very successful and efficient in his particular calling and to whom the making of taxes and debt
