MAKES PLEA FOR ME INDUSTRIES IN HURON Speaking in the Ontario Legisla­ ture last week, Tom Pryde M.P.P. for Huron made a plea that something be done to spread industrial develop­ ment over a greater area of Ontario. There is considerable concern in rural municipalities, he said, about the concentration of industry along “the 60 or 70-mile strip centred on Toronto and bordering Lake Ontario." “The various municipalities in Hu­ ron County have organized an in­ dustrial advisory board on a country­ wide basis. Townships as well as towns and villages are co-operating. “Their duties will consist of co-re- lating all information as to the coun­ ty labour pool—existing industries, housing conditions, natural advan­ tages and all other information re­ quired by industrial prospects. “It will publicize the Whole country but it will remain for individual councils or boards of trade to sell their own industrial community". Mr. Pryde Said that in small places light industry would find a good supply of labour; “ideal” living con­ ditions, no traffic problem, niodern schools and plenty of recreation facili­ ties.

For the wedding trip ited States the bride donned a two- piece navy blue costume with red and white accessories and corsage of pink mums. , They will take up residence on the groom’s farm, Gorrie North. with white of yellow to the Un- It looks as if the Wingham Town Council is going to have to pay $5,000 for a roll of paper. And apparently there’s very little that can be done about it. It all started about four years ago, when the town council of that time was told by the Department of Health that they would have to have a new sewage disposal plant in town. At the time the move was instituted the present sewage plant was con­ demned, and the council was told to replace it. Negotiations were opened up with Kilborn Engineering Company, who were told to go ahead and draw up plans for the new plant immediately. Which they did. Meantime the question of a new public school came up, and when it became evident that a new school was necessary, plans for the sewage disposal plant were shelved. In fact the Municipal Board said that the town was not in a position to finance both projects at once, and because of this the new school was given pri­ ority. Since that time a new high school has been contracted for, and a new wing for the hospital is now under consideration. The original plan for a sewage disposal plant has been pushed farther and farther into the background. Council Got Shock Last fall- council members got a shock when they received a letter from the Kilborn Engineering Com­ pany asking them when they intend­ ed going ahead with plans for the sewage plant. And the letter con­ tained a bill for $5,000, representing services of the engineering firm to date. Not having figured on any such outlay as $5,000 for plans, the coun­ cil wrote back asking if payment could be postponed until next year when estimates could be adjusted to take care of such a large outlay. The company concurred. At Monday’s meeting another letter from the company was read, pointing out that the new year had arrived, and that the company would like to go ahead with the work this year if possible. Failing that, there was a matter of $5,000 still outstanding. No Time to Build Council has been in a quandry about the whole thing ever since the first letter was received last year. Obviously, with all the new building going on around Wingham these days, it’s no time to start on a $125,000" sewage disposal plant pro­ ject. On the other hand $5,000 is a lot of money to put out on plans you may not use. To make matters worse, council now has the idea that if and when a new sewage disposal plant is built— and it will probably have to be built some day—there are new and cheap­ er ways of building it. Which would! mean that $5,000 worth of plaus- would be useless. The council it not prepared to down without fighting, however. At Monday’s session it was decided that the mayor and the reeve should go to Toronto to talk over matters with the Kilborn Engineering Company, In spite of everything it was felt that perhaps “something could bo arranged" with the company to stayo off the $5,000 hole in this yeai<«j budget. ONE FOREIGN STUDENT IN GRADUATION CLASS Saturday, March 27, was graduation day at the Palmer School of Chiro- practics at Davenport, Iowa. Dr. B. J. Palmer, principal and own ­ er of this the largest school of its kind in the United States, in his open­ ing remarks made special reference to the only foreign student in the- class; what a talented student he was; what a valued member he was of the Spinal Cord Quartette (the school's. Barber Shop Quartette said to be the best in the West); how he had endear­ ed himself to everyone in the school and the city with whom he had come in contact.
