COMMUNICATION
T i niesnA civ o ca te,
Gentlemen:
We would like to make a sug
gestion to the Hensail Board of
Trade. The Chamber of Commerce
of Exeter and the surrounding
township councils.
A news item was published in the
London Free Press on Thursday that
Howard
Member

tawa to'
Government in the interests of the
sugar beet growers of Western On
tario. The growers are .asking for
government ^assistance in building
more sugar beet factories at Petrol
ia, Sarnia and other -places in this
western district.
Reeve Isaac Wright, of Turnberry
has been working for some time to
secure a factory for Wingham and
a meeting of the Wingham Board of
Trade the Wingham Council and the
Councils of the surrounding town
ships was held in Wingham recently
to discuss this matter.
Could not a meeting of this kind
be arranged and an effort be made
to secure a sugar factory to be built
at a suitable place in South Huron.
We have thousands of acres of suit
able land for the raising of sugar
beets with the highest percentage of
sugar raised in Western Ontario
have come from Centralia. We have
splendid roads for truck transporta
tion and by having a factory in this
district it would save the growers a
great deal of money in rail transpor
tation. There would be a great deal
of labor required and the beet pulp
would help feed a great many cattle
and hogs in this district,
a daily necessity, in
a great deal has1 to
fill the demand.
The governments
help anything that
ployment and we are already
ing large quantities' of sugar
in this district and they have
shipped to other places to be
ufactured, giving a great deal
employment elsewhere.
The greatest problem confronting
public bodies today is getting more
money into the hands of the farm
ers and more work for the laboring
mon in the towns and villages in
creasing their buying power and un
til this is done, we cannot have pros
perity.
A factory of this kind would have
to be in some place with a river as
it requires a great deal of water but
would benefit the whole district.
