,foresight could scarcely foresee the miracles within the
human grasp. If you and I should make the same error the
fault is our own. We have lived in an age when the things
of today are never those of the morrow. .Once a famous
hymn-writer struck the lines, "change and decay in all
round I see." In our age there is not even time for decay.
There is but change--change without ceasing.
We are never faced with the boredom of shoeing the
same horses year after year. We do not have to spend long
-Mtn's' ea-eh - faR the. same HO ''.4ach week and each
month bring new problems and new tas1;!s. Are we mentally
prepared for the incessant changes which arise? Do we face
each fresh situation with keen foresight and clear vision—
or do we take the blacksmith's hindward view and look
back to all those things we have done so well in days gone
bye? Our welfare, and that of our entire nation is bound
up in the direction of our vision. The past is of little mom-
Ent, except for the education is has provided. It is the fut-
ure that counts. Shall we look ahead or backward? Ours is
the decision—ours the solution.

Who Pays the Shot?
At the recent conference of municipalities in Bruce
County on the subject of industrial expansion, James
Turnbull, trade and industries branch of the Ontario De-
partment of Planning and Development, pointed out that
the initiative lies with the municipalities if new industries
are to be secured for the towns in this area.
There is much talk at present of the "decentralization"
of industry; all speakers are ready to mention the inclina-
tion of the big industrialists to move to the smaller centres.
Our town is one of those smaller places, and we who live
here would like to dream that an important branch of some
nation-wide industry could be persuaded to set tip shop
within our boundaries. So, naturally, our first thought is,
"What can we get out of the provincial or dominion gov-
ernments to place our town in the limelight."
So few people seem to realize that a grant from the
governments is not it handout at all. When a government
makes a grant ol this kind, who pays the cost ?. The people
of Ontario, of course, or the people of Canada as the case
may be. Since everybody immediately jumps for the grant
wagon the grants hecome fairly widespread and we all pay
SO fond of demanding help all through the year and then
howling about our income tax come spring. We seem to
like the music bin we don't want to pay the piper,
If We are truly anxious to see this place expand, why
don't we settle down to the hard facts of what we need if
.such a dream is to be realized? 141rst we must have hous-
ing-. Would it be entirely out of the question for our own
corporation to finance a few units each .year on th state
basis
sae
basis as has. been done by the federal authority? With new
homes available the industrialist would have sonic hope of
interesting labour in jobs here. Similarly we should be and
in many instances are attending to our own problems of
transportation, recreation., etc,
Our governments have done: the people as a Whole to
great favour by providing. a grant or subsidy for every
conceivable want, We are likely to grow soft under such
treatment.
