People are our greatest resource for the future

companies can bring huge benefits
whec they come, but they can leave
as quickly as they came, as many
have done over the years in other
centres as soon as they had used up
the benefits of government incen
tive programs that made them
locate there.
On the other hand look at more
locally basedfirms such as Bainton
Limited or Atlas Fur Tanning and
Dyeing or Howson and Howson
Limited in Blyth. AU started small
as somebody’s idea. All grew and
provided jobs for the local com
munity. All are rooted in their
community and aren’t likely to
move to Mississauga or whatever
is the hot new location for industry
at the moment.
New companies are almost
always short of cash. Whatthey
need are small locations at low
rental costs. One of the things we
can provide are inexpensive real
estate. We should be encouraging
the bright young people with ideas
to locate in our communities, even
if they only employ one or three
people to start. Only a few short
years ago the Apple computer
company was just twobright young
men working in agarage. Today
it’s a big part of California’s
famous silicon Valley complex.
On the retail side of things in
particular, one of the greatest
resources we have is the minds of
the many women who have been
home taking care of children and
now are looking for something to
do. If these women already have a
primary source of income in the
house, they can do imaginative
things without having to worry
about them supporting a family.
Many already have opened antique
'shops and craft shops, flower
shops or bookstores that can be
very fulfilling for the owner, and
add greatly to the shopping variety
of the community, but may not
provide the instant financial return
