tht acton free press acton ontario hiultsday aikil lh ims many changes would greet former actonian in business keep the lid on industrial expansion is all the rage in smaller and larger centres of ontario as municipal it wi vie jaitk one- another for the establishment of an in dustry that is considered to be on the move pro bably this is the reason delegates from 125 on tario municipalities demanded changes in pro vlncial legislation to allow ihem to issue some kind of bait the resolution was the result of an annual in dustnal conference recently held in toronto it dealt more specifically with the allowance of fix ed assessments it should be explained that at present no municipality in the province can offer industry an assessment that stands for a certain number of years without approval of the maority of taxpayers this piece of legislation in our opinion is a wise one to eliminate 04 change it would leave municipalities at the mercy of industry which would be in the position to take what the highest bidder has to offer and unless some very good strings were attached to that type of deal the in dustry could remain in the town until its fixed as sessment ran out and then trot off for more at tractive bait fixed assessments are not a new thing in the field of attracting industry many of the smalte centres offered this form of induc year ag andjhfi r were often quite sa todays indostrtalexpansknbj9 bucjnass- moves are made only after careful study and in volved surveys good substantial industrial organisations are not looking for inducements in cur opinion they re looking for proximity to market or raw material available labor housing end other advantages to take the lid off what municipalities can offer the industrial movers would be dangerous to the economic foundations of the town and con tribute to hard feelings among the industry that settled in the eommunty without any special in ducement at present a fixed assessment can be offered ai inaustry only after a vote of the people ap pne n p h s area the rush should not be so mjch tp gel dustr but to get good industry tie- akes a ittle longer roe el let keep the t d 01 what we offer tnci

debate of two junior farmer teams one from halton county and the other from hastings county we couldn t help thinking of the advantages oung ontario farmers are detiving from tha junior farmer organization of the province the group has something in common farming around this common denominator rural youth has banded together and stretched out from the nucleus to the broadening aspects of public speaking debating hockey dances drama fasti vals and other types of activity our contention is that rural youth has a tre mendous advantage over urban youth because of this provincial wide organization activities can be organized as is the debating competition on a provincial basis no urban organization that is strictly urban can parallel this rural group the urban youth has no common denominator around which to build a group merchants sons would not be interested in udging industrial ef ficiency and vice versa indeed in mosr cases urban youth never conies in contact with the work of the fathers no doubt many rural youths wish they didn t as itlln lopli hi in unk 1 fill ttlltliu h tint i luuliy wtmld lit bnittl wllh tin biibjttl 1ml tin milium 11m luulvut fji tihvu indiuiu tt

as its individual cit ens only as modern and progressive as its citi i jens care to make it it can only progress as its j citizens allow it to how strong is any town a strong town is made up of people who are civic minded people who get out and vote at election time people who support town organizations and if a worth i while organization gets into difficulties attempt to keep it going rather than let it fall by the way i s de its people not only take an interest in the tewn but are w i ling to go out of their way to further the towns interests its people are work ing people business men professional men housewives but regardless of what the individual is or what he does for a living if he is a worth while citizen he will take an interest in the town and try to make it a better place in which to live the people and organizations in any town may be likened to the divisions of a yardstick the individual members of the organization may be likened to the fractions of an inch the individ ual organizations to the inched and the town to the sum total of these inches one person s work may not make or break the town but when everyone does his share the result will show in
