The third objective is to or- ganize our county so we can receive as many people as pos- sible, "A. ong with us in this recep- tion responsibility are Welling- ton, Perth and Waterloo, and they are resolving similar plans. From actual target areas you can picture the people moving, and there will be a stream from Windsor and Niagara Falls areas. There is no question about that, in my opinion."
