Darn cat!!! He's eaten a 6 -inch diameter
hole right in the most prominent part of my
t -shirt.
So, dear husband, this is why I'm a bit
unbalanced. Please don't tell anyone else.
If they don't look at me too strangely, I'll
know I'm recovering my sanity.
Your loving. but slightly batty wife

Opinionated
Bruce taught Huron a lesson
BY ADRIAN VOS
The officials from the Ontario Ministry of Industry and
Tourism, must have been very disappointed by the response they
received from the Huron County community.
Not only the farmers, but town councillors as well, turned a
cold shoulder to pitches for more industrial development in the
county. One could almost feel sorry for the development
planners. There they were with their charts and films and slides;
their pride in real achievements; their projections of
possibilities; their bright and certain assurance that develop-
ment was sacred. And then they were told by the people they had
been trying to coax all day, that there were other values to
consider.
In a way, their disappointment was also a condemnation of the
information that should go from rural to urban people, but
apparently doesn't.
Ken Mesure, the seminar co-ordinator, thought that Huron
residents wanted more development, but said that wishes
weren't good enough, they must really want it and work for it.
When he said that industry was needed to create a better
cash-flow, because agriculture didn't create enough, he actually
condemned society. without realizing it, for underpaying
agriculture.
It is still a debatable point if industry really lowers the taxes
for residents. From friends in the towns and cities, we get the
impression that the bigger the muncipality, and the more
industry, the higher are the taxes.
There are a few things that are well known in planning circles,
but only mentioned when pressed, if the planner is hired
promote industrial development. But London plannner Norman.
Pierson, in a study for the Foodland Committee, pointed out tha
more density of population brings such extra costs as new
schools, new hospitals, more police, more jails, more demand for
services from newcomers who are used to them in larger
communities.
