get more industry- one of the favorite topics of conversation in i many communities in ontario s how do we get more industry there appears to- be a general impression that the acquisition by any community of a large new industry is going fo be the cure for all municipal economic ills acton in its effort to attract new industry is beset by the same problems that beset many ontario communities it was felt not without some satisfaction that municipallyowned servic ed industrial land could attract new industry to acton a strong and active development com mission warappointed the commissionset to work with high expectations but results have been disappointing apparently this program is less than is required to attract new industry we see a meeting was held in motjjjt forest recently which representatives of 35 municipali ties attended the decision of the meeting was that the federal governments designated area program is unfair discriminatdry and killings m- dusfrialgrowth in areas not designated under the program the delegates agreed their municipali ties had no chanceof obtaining new industries when industry coud go to other nearby centres designated by the government and receive cash grants on construction of new buildings or ad ditions to exisfing facilities and also receive tax concessions under the program 81 areas in canada were designated by the federal govern- ment ayhere industry can qualify for these grants and tax concessions at the meeting various municipalities des cribed the difficulties which they have encount ered in smiths falls a five million dollar in dustry was lost to collingwood and in mount fofest an industry was signed sealed and de livered but the firm decided to withdraw and build ina designated area because of the finan cial advantages offered by the program designated areas are supposedly determined on the basis of high unemployment or statistics from local employment services offices and low average income the designated areas program was launched in 1963 when 35 areas across canada including seven in ontario were desig nated in 1964 the area development incentives act was passed and last year the program was expanded to include 81 designated areas the decision of the mount forest meeting was to apply for status as designated area in an area covering almost 2000 square miles when the program was launched in 1963 there was a certain stigma attached which did not please most of the municipalities designated since that time there has we are sure been a change of heart until we have reached the point today where municipalities are willing even eager to be designated depressed areas since there is nothing to lose and obviously much to be gained as evidenced by recent indus trial activity in the collingwoodmidland area we think acton top should apply for recogni tion as what is politely called a designated area we must not consider it a depressed area which was without doubt the original intent of the federal government in 1963 its much more palatable to be designated as is the colling- woodmidland area we feel that actons best approach to indus trial growth is to take any money there is for industrial promotion and promote ourselves into a designated area status there will then be no need to buy industrial land to service it to pro duce multicolor brochures to hire industrial commissioners or launch a highpowered sales program instead of burying 50000 itv water and sewer services in the municipally owned in dustrial land we can probably buy the desig nated status after that all we will have to do is sit back and bear off the poor- industries which dont have any appeal to us with a big stick underground wiring acton council displayed some wisdom iri investigating the feasibility of installing under ground wiring in the balance of lakeview sub division the aesthic qualities of such an under ground system are very desirable however the additional cost in such program in lakeview does not appear to us to be feasible when we consider the installations that have alreadybeen made in this area it would appear to us to be only logical to continue the new installation as an addition to those already installed lines to change horses in midstream does not seem too wise because it will end up as a patch work of overhead and underground systems we do think council would be wise to insist on under ground wiring in any new subdivision which may come before it in the future when aesthetic considerations can he considered in the light of the whole project maintain standards we were pleased to learn the public school board is considering the implementation of a remedial reading program and the teaching of oral french in the acton schools there appear ed to be some hesitation in making a commit ment to institute the programs french in particu lar because they might not be available in sur rounding schools and therefore continuity in high school might not be maintained it is our opinion both programs should be started in acton without delay acton schools have always had high academic standards and a display of leadership in instituting both these programs is in line with a progressive curriculum stuff photo quantities of goodies went on sale monday afternoon at the m z bennett school when teacher mrs bert benton and her class of grade 3 and 4 pupils staged a bake sale with pro ceeds of 5038 going to the junior red cross left to right are steven brunelle cathy wel- don bryan robinson and sharon gillespie admiring some of the baking while mrs benton watches plan for present we were rather disturbed with the realiza tion that planning board hason its books a reso lution which does not allow the board to con- sider any further applications for zone changes until the new official plan is approved we real ize the new plan has been under consideration for three years and held up for one year at a cost to the taxpayers of 1200 but we cannot understand how the board can refuse to con sider present applications and any that may be forthcoming until final omb andor depart ment of municipal affairs approval is received the possibility that the new plan may not re ceive approval until the town has indicated its future plans for sewage plant additions or re placement could stunt actons growth irrepair- ably v we are in favor of planning in principle for it is only through planning- can we expect an orderly sound and intelligent growth in our interpretation however there is not only the utopia we expect to create at some date in the future- there is also the requirement that we proceed through the present to reach that far off and glittering future if planning is so wrap ped up in bureaucratic red tape we can not live with it today all is for naught and we should ij immediately change our way of thinking our planning bylaws and our official plans this sundays church calendar wisdom of the world there arc souls
