stated once or twice about the economic waste of covering up chv tarios luah farm and garden land with houses and factories since the war halton s beautiful coun tryside along the lakefront has been gobbled up by progress fruit trees grain asm pas ture fields have produced masses of steel like the ford plant and towns and townships are filling with new dwellers seeking living space close to their work now the arrow penetrates farther and milton and georgetown are feeling the first thrust which is bound to spell doom to our farm economy in the next decade in this creation of a huge metropolitan area which will lie between toronto hamilton and more so their economic advisers have to say about a trend which is exactly opposite to the voiced opinion of latewar philosophy it doesnt seem many years since we were read ing about what the future would bring about decentralization of industry creation of small communities where people could live away from the citys bustle and there are ao many sections of ontario where this is possible that it makes ones heart bleed to see how fact is so far removed from this fic tion we even have nassagaweya on our doorstep with no decentsized community in the whole township and farm land mostly in ferior to halton and peel but industry ignores this in favour of more fertile soils of course there are very definite econo mic factors which would have to

wholesale destruction of farmland it might even mean subsidies to industry to lo cale in geographically lesafovourable loca tions but in the ontario and federal parlia ments there must be men farsighted enough to look ahead and to promote individual com- rure war which ontario may suffer from this foolish concentration of industry in one small section of the province in this as in many other questions we are of two minds as a pure georgetowner we could rejoice that our town will grow that mumties like georgetown in place of polyglot we will have more industry and more people nonentities like the lakefront which will breed to share costs of bigger and better civic ser vices not that all georgelowners wont to see the town nny bigger than normal growth will bring it but the broader picture mokes us von- of must abide by laws daily newspaper stones of a group mennonites returning to canada after discour aging experiences in mexico where crop fail ures impoverished them cast reflections on members of that religious sect which we hope are not true according to the stories they left wes tern canada several years ago because they would not send their children to school if that be the cose then they must change their minds or this country cannot welome them back for we have no room for people who will not obey the laws of the land and es pecially that low which provides free educa tion for all children to the age of sixteen at the same time we believe there must some national publicity reprinting a chatelaine article this week about ghs graduate suilio venchiorutti makes us wonder if any other small town can boast so many present or former residents who have received national publicity just a few weeks ago we reprinted an article from mayfair about sandy best who is following in his fathers steps as a research man rev joe salmon better known here as reub has received publicity in many newspapers and magazines incluckng coro net for his churchbuilding activities in one issue a few years ago of macleans the lead people who are neither fish nor fowl suburba nites who live in a vast maze of factories massproduced houses and shopping centres with no interest in their nextdoor neighbour let alone their community have been some distortion of truth in the story for mennonites form the background of many citizens in the kitchener district and if there was nny initial dislike for education among them it has long since vanished for you will find them as welleducated as any other citizens of the country canadas laws might not be perfect but they are not put on the statute books without careful thought and it behooves no group re ligious racial or otherwise to flaunt them so often this is done in the name of religion and the same people who piotest with every right illegal acts against them in one pro vince try to make martyrs of themselves else where with a lot of hoopdedoo about salut ing the flag or singing the queen
