Luc.6ow, Ontario T URSDAY, OCTURER. 5, 1944 Draft Post -War Plans For Bruce n Asa result of a meeting of the Bruce County Citizens' Post -War Planning Committee, held in Port ' Ejgin last Thursday, a practical and workable plan has been de- vised which would guarantee to the people of this county great progress in agriculture, industry and tourist business within:, a comparatively short time. An exhaustive' study of the vroblenes and those . factors which have been • responsible for the de - Cline, in both agriicatlture and4hi- dustre have revealed that, these conditions can be remedied quickly and effectively by simple means., The 'plan is divided into three mann sections: Agriculture. Basing much of the plan ©n 'recominendations. of -tthe .Bruce County Federation of Agricui Lure, , the Cunansittee found itself in complete agreement with sug- gestions • that' only first - clas-s_ fanners Working on first - class land can be .successful. The plan embodies ways and means of as- suring that the 'best of the land available for purchase can be of- fered ffere+d to returned soldiers, farm- ers from Britain and Europe; as well as those from. less . product- ive ..areas m this country. The plan outlines the means whereby medical and dental .ser- vices for the 'rural areas can -be 'made, available.

These points were in- corporated because there is a grow`ing alarm amongst farm people in the county that sofew are attending secondary schools that ,the level . of education is dropping to a serious degree: - In the section there are at least ten other major items dealing with the rapid improvement of agriculture in this county. The plan Industry ways and means of obtaining industries from Canada, the. United States, Britain and other countries for Bruce. County. ° It suggests how the necessary information can be obtained and presented • to the proper iiithorities for the use of those to whom the establishment • of main or branch • plarits in this section of Ontario is , a • post-war necessity. The scheme .guarantees equal possibilities to every rriurzicipal- ity interested in having addition- al industries locate in them. It makes possible for those places which already have 'some .Indus- tries to obtain more and to those who need an industry badly to have the same opportunity. To the centres of population which are. dependent upon in- adustry 'to a substantial degree, the plan offers the instrument whereby there is every possibility. of increasing .the amount of in- dustryin the county, thus enlarg- ' ling the' demand for labor which would mean increase in wage and living standards throughout the county. Tourist Industry The plan recognizes the tre- mendous _potentialities . of Bruce County as one of Canada's lead- ing summer resort sections and that the tourist business already is rapidly becoming the major industry. • It shows how the busi-`' discovering • en are a1, patriotic woolen • lend to their - • _ Canada, °toy save 'non Y to lend to all .over new ways to' vides money to In the hv�es; e , , . there.. pro Canadians amount .. s to ecoeci nomize a the Saved millionsof new ways here and a, l' ,s from oaiilr T. limes • for the war. gnoall s small Susi to you, but le Canada to help pay ed up. r country may seem a needs 'every sing is when rare u to billions vvh lend to your s, and Caen for borrowing t that You may es •make dollar. , need before: - Money d dim d.
