New factories, however small, mean more jabs to more people; greater possibilities for young folk growing up with the community to re-invest their_learning at home and help build their home towns; lower taxation to others in the municipality may be expected with every increase in taxable businesses, and with the in- 0 crease in housing which new people in town will require. The benefiti -from industry are well known to us all. • Right now municipalities are being given a chance to band together and form a board, equipped with sufficient funds to finance the employment of a full time manager 'to work at securing industry for this area. The province is matching us dealer for dollar up to $10,000 to help provide funds. • Clinton's share in this projeet, as it is now estimated. would be six cents for each person, each year for three years. That is, just about $550. Participation in this regional scheme (which. would take in four counties-Huron, Perth Wellington and Waterloo) would not eliminate tire necessity for a local committee on industrial promotion) but would certainly give the local committee something more concrete to work with than in the past.. . For the sum'-of $550, it is doubtful that Clinton, working alone, could do much at all toward the task of promoting the possibilities of the town in the eyes of potential industry. That amount would hardly pay the salary of a WITHIN 11 DAYS, the opportunity to be- come a member of one of Clinton's. smaller and probably one of the town's most active organ- izations will be yours, The Chamber of Commerce is fast approach- ing the beginning of another year, and there are many tasks to be accomplished. What is the Chamber? What does it do? What good is it to Clinton? Well, here are just a few of the things ac- eemplished by this body: The installation of signal lights at the sailway crossing on Highway 4, were put in following suggestion, work and persuasion on the part of Chamber members. 2. The signal lights at the main intersec- tion of town, also were put in, following talk, recommendation and persuasion by the local Chamber. 3. The four strings of coloured lights which have been lighted every evening for the past 14 months at the main intersection, were purchased and put up by Chamber funds. 4. For the past two Christmas seasons, the Clinton Chamber has erected small green trees on every lamp post for the month of Dec- ember, So that the downtown area of the town would have a seasonal look. 5. Organization of a campaign for a re- sucicitator to be used by the town's firemen and the doctors of Clinton and district in case of an emergency, was carried out by the Chamber last year. The machine is now in charge of the firemen, and is available when needed. 6. Purchase and erection of street signs at a number of the down town corners, was the Muggs and Skeeier good manager for more than two weeks. It would be next to useless. To anyone acquainted with the difficulty of promoting a town-this regienal scheme seems to be the answer to a long expreseed prayer. The industrial committee of the local Chamber has tried far years td accomplish something along this line, but were hampered by lack of time, funds and the "knowhow." ' Unfortunately, we think, for Clinton, there seems: little enthusiasm in the 1956 council for this regional plan. In other neighboming towns the idea has been, or is being received with strong faith for the future. We hope that Clinton does not lag behind in this effort to improve the whole economy of the County is a whole. This is no time for small thoughts. It is no time to sit tight, and say "What's in it for me?" It is no time to say, "What good will it do Clinton, the town?" Now is the time to say: Iluron, in predominantly agricultural Her people are depending upon farmers. Statistics show that the number of farmers Is decreasing steadily. There are no longer jobs for the rural farm people. In fact there are no longer enough jobs for the urban young people. They are going to the city to work and to live. We are losing the best of our County, when we lose these young people. .For the good of the County, something must be done. Here is the germ of an idea for e regional promotion scasane for industry. It looks as if it has possibilit- ies. We can try it for three years at a nom- inal cost. We're ready to invest our money in the -future. It looks good to us. • • project of the Chamber of Commerce several years ago. 7. During 1955, the Chamber sponsored the Huron County Apple Day, which saw a showing of the best of the County's apples, the crowning of an Apple Queen, a dance, and a healthy prize list paid. 8. Each year the . Chamber members par- ticipate in the November 11 parade and posting of wreaths, ,the Christmas treat for youngsters of Clinton and district, and a number of other worthwhile projects. 9. As early as 1946, the 'Clinton Chamber was urging the erection of 100 war time houses in Clinton. When their efforts were rewarded finally, two years later, and 50 houses were put up, they were filled immediately and the need for even more housing was soon evident. Besides all of these things which can be tied down to so many words, are the nebulous • projects of securing goad public attitudes and goodwill toward our neighbours at RCAF Station Clinton; advice to the Council, following thought out decisions made by the members; participa- tion in industrial promotion for good of Clinton and the County; time, planning and sounds down- to-earth thinking about Clinton's needs. These last are hard items to put down on paper, but are of boundless importance to the growth in stature of a town in the eyes of its neighbours, and of the townspople. When the end of this month 'cones, and you are approached to join the Chamber of Com- merce-don't 'miss your opportunity.

Harold Frenrlin, Joseph Street and Clayton Dixon, recently re- turned from overseas. Described by sonic as a "mod- ern mystic," by others as "the most Christian man alive today," Dr. Frank Lauback likes to think of himself as " an Apostle to the Illiterates." Claiming that "Africa as well as Asia may be turned to Com- munism in a few years" by this idealogy which is "capturing them by lies at the rate of 100,000 a year," Dr. Lauback declares that bombs or governments cannot prevent the peoples of the East from "voting Communist by 1956." "We need a new Christian strategy if we are to save the world" he states. "A war of human kindness" is the strategy advocated. Teaching people to read and placing the Bible in their hands in their own language is his basic program. Dr. Laubach is teaching people from age 8 to 80 to read by an unique chart method and "Each one teach one" principle. They learn to read in a week the simple story of Jes- us and the prodigal Son, and in a month the Gospel according to St. John. Dr. Laubach recently urged the Bible Societies of the world to supply his new readers with 20,- 000,000 more Bibles annually than they presently produce. "To bring literacy and the Scripture to these people, 30,000,000 Christ.. lens must be mobilized," he ex- plains, emphasizing the necessity of every Christian in the world assisting. Finding a freedom to enter countries where even missionaries are excluded Dr. Laubach says the masses want us, the govern- ments want us, but the Commun- ists are beating us by spending $2,000,000,000 a year with prom- ises in dull books and magazines. It makes me cry when I think that the Christian world could have' had the non-Christian world long ago!" Dr. A. H. O'Neil, General Sec- retary of the British and Foreign Bible Society in Canada, addres- sing officials of the Society re- cently in.Tororito pointed out that, "Christianity is not primarily an- ti-totalitarian or anti any other ideology, but it is a positive way of life in God, and of necessity it becomes anti-totalitarianism, anti- iii will, or opposed to any other force that prevents man from liv- ing this life abundant in God." The Bible Societies are striving to provide the Bibles as the basic tool of the world literacy program.
