New Canadians Speak To Parents
Members of the Home and
School Assdciation had new Can
adians as their guests Tuesday
night and several of them took
part in the “Citizenship Night”
program.
Mrs. M. Vander Neut, who has
been in Canada for three years,
spoke on customs in her home
land. The carillons play an im
portant part in the life of Hol
land as they are heard almost
constantly. They play familiar
hymns as well as sound warn
ings of fire or danger and toll
in the event of a death in the
community. The carillon in Mrs.
Vander Neut’s home town was
taken by the Germans during
the war and the people wondered
if its inscription, “He who de
stroys me, will certainly destroy
himself,” had influenced its re
turn.
Streets Scrubbed
Wooden shoes and native cos
tumes are worn only in the rural
areas. All the streets are paved
and are scrubbed every week by
the housewives.
Rev. Carl J3chroeder, pastor
Bethel Reformed Church,
of
t$emei Reformed Church, a na
tive of Holland who received his
theological education in United
States, spoke on the history and
geography of Holland. He sum
med up the characteristics of the
Dutch people as thoroughness,
cleanliness and frugality. Their
stern and unyielding natures are
a result of fighting the .seas
which have wrought havoc in
their country. Those who 'have
come to Canada appreciate the
opportunities
opened up to
try.

Hensail Discusses
Hensall ratepayers will meet
next Wednesday night for a pub
lic discussion on installation of
artificial ice in the arena..
Facts behind the proposal are
these: The Parks Board has re
quested the council to issue $30,-
000 in debentures for the project.
A number of community organ
izations have backed the cam
paign with a promise to raise
$15,000 over a five-year period
to meet debenture payments.
At the last council meeting, a
petition signed by 44 per cent of
the ratepayers requested a muni
cipal vote on the question. Coun
cil decided to call a public meet
ing in the town hall next Wed
nesday where the proposals will
be aired and a standing vote will
be taken.
In an attempt to present some
of the opinions, both pro and
con, on the question, The Times-
Advocate interviewed a number
of Hensall citizens. Their state
ments follow:

Approve Calf hood Vaccination Proposal
Unanimous support for the
proposal that calfhood vaccina

present, who were a fairly well-

and dairy breeders, approved
without a dissenting voice a re
solution offered by , Hugh Hill,
of Benmiller, that the meeting
approve the principle of calfhood
vaccination, and recommend a
program under the provisions of
the B.C.A.
Calfhood vaccination, Dr. Wor
ton said, seomis to offer the best
chance of controlling contagious
abortion in cattle, and, by so
doing, to control undulant fever
in humans. The new B.C.A.,
passed by the Ontario Legislat
ure in 1953, he explained, pro

cinations by township areas, with
township councils having the
authority to enforce the program.

now this is an investment to pro

hope everyone will pull together
for this worthwhile cause.
Lome Luker, councillor: I
think we should let the people
vote on it.
W. R. Dougall, weed inspector:
Considering the number of rate
payers, around 260, it’s too big
an undertaking with the debt we
already have. Because of the
closeness of other arenas in the
area, I don’t think it would meet
operating costs. It’s too expensive
to install it and to maintain it.
The $30,000 is too big a burden
on the taxpayers considering our
present debt.
W. O. Goodwin, businessman: I
think artificial ice would be bene
ficial to the community, it will
provide good healthy exercise foi’
the children, and they must have
someplace to play. Even if the
organizations that are behind this
project aren’t able to raise the
money they promised, it Would
mean little on the taxes. If the
town had hot been progressive
enough to get industry, our taxes
would have been higher because
there. would be fewer to pay
them. The town has to progress
in order to spread the taxes over
more people.
Edmund Geiger: I’d like to see
a vote on it. That’s the way it
should be In a democracy, Per-

sonally, I don’t think it’s a sound
proposition. I don’t wish to state
any reasons but, to my mind,
that's self-evident.
Rev. W. J. Rogers: I’d be very
happy to see artificial ice. I
think it would be a good thing
for the young people of the com
munity.
IS’. L. Mickle, grain merchant:
I think it’s a necessity. I don’t
believe the debentures will be a
burden on the town and they are4
a means of securing the money
to install the plant so it can pay
for itself. It would have been nice
to have artificial » ice during the
past four and five years and I
think it will be a fine thing to
have in the future.
Hugh Love: In view of the fact
that 44 per cent of property
owners petitioned council to allow
property owners to vote by ballot
on installation of artificial ice, I
think a vote at a public meeting
cannot be considered a true re
presentation of the feeling of the
people as a whole. A vote by bal
lot is the only democratic way
and also the only legal way for
council to proceed. Other muni
cipalities which have two or three
times the number of property
owners also have bigger popula
tion to help maintain the cost Of
operation which tends to lessen
the burden of taxation. It is not
fair to compare them to Hensall.
the owners of cattle must sign a
petition; similarly, to stop the

once it has been started, two-

have to sign a petition asking
for the scheme to be ended.

Start towards the organization of a co-operative cam
paign of Huron municipalities to attract industry to the coun
ty was made at a meeting in Exeter Wednesday afternoon.
Town and village representatives approved a proposal to
form a Huron Industrial Promotion Committee which would
interest manufacturers and pro
cessors in locating plants in the
county.
Tim committee, to be composed
of delegates from each urban
municipality, will be organized at
Clinton at a future meeting.
Told by representatives of the
Ontario Department of Planning
and Development that this area
was not well-known to industrial
ists but that it could offer just
as many advantages to industry
as othei* sections of the province,
the local officials approved unan
imously a proposal that promo
tion be done on a county-wide
scale.
Commissioner?
Idea behind the scheme is to
organize an a c't i v e promotion
campaign which would interest
industrial prospects in the county
through brochures and possibly a
full-time industrial commissioner.
After the prospects became in
terested in this area, it would be
the responsibility of
municipalities to sell
advantages.
If the co-operative
carried out, all urban municipal
ities in the county will contribute
towards the cost of the promo
tion. Such a scheme has already
been organized in other counties
in the province.
Although most towns and vil
lages in Huron are conducting a
small-scale campaign for indust
ry, none can afford the type of
organization needed to compete
with promotions of larger cities
and towns. The co-operative pro
posal is one method of meeting
this disadvantage.
Must Sell Area

J. E. Turnbull, of the municipal

“Decentralization of industry,”
he said, “is becoming an actual
fact. Industry is going farther
afield simply because more small
towns are attracting them.”
Since the competition for new
industry is becoming greater
every year, he suggested that
small communities under 5,000
population should band together
in an attempt to improve their
promotion.
