MORE SEEKING
' THOU SHQ JLD be a good: deal More of
"asking ono seeping" than has so far been evid-
enced in Clinton, a we are to have the new in-
dustry which is so .badly needed. .
Indus'tria'lists will not just drop into town on
a silver -lined parachute, They will not pore
unsought.
If there still be some who would ask, Why
does Clinton need new industry? let the look
around. Without searching .far, Many enpty
'apartments, empty homes empty apartment
houses can be found, No longer is it a choice .of
one or two rather lea'sthan first class apart=
7nents, but thenewcomer to town can ;mite his
choice of a god many..
This means that there are fewer families
living in Clinton. There are fewesa families for
two reasons. One, because of the increased ac-
coremodation et the permanent married quarters
at the RCAF, Station, The other reason is that
there justt is not as much. work to be found in
and 'around Clinton as there was six months ago.
No ;natter what optimists may say, Clinton
can not long do without the money which is alis-
, tribute(' throughout the \ area when art rooms,
apartments and houses are filled with working
, people. .
It is, vitally important that Clinton's leaders
see this in the future, and do something now,.
about finding more jobs, for more people,
• 'The first step towards this is the setting up
of an Industrial Committee,. At the present time
such a greup does not exist at all.
Without a well-infornxed group with all the
answers, it is doubtful that an industrialist
searching for a place to locate would be easily
satisfied, He is more apt to become discouraged.
over being unable to 'find the answers to bis
queries .quietly, and will go elsewhere where
residents are eager to" provide him with the
names of the "snen to see". end those men are
informed about the locality's potential sites,
The next step after setting up such a coin-
rnittee, is to give then something to work with.
Fortunately for Clinton se far, vacancies! are
showing up only in residences. All buildings
which can be 'utilized for industry.. or commer-
cial enterprises are in .use. However, this. is a
temporary, disadvantage in one way, for incom-.
ing industry can find no placeto rent, and so..
goe,s on: to other towns. It would be the town's
responsibility . to see that somehow land and
buildings are made available to proposed new
