The course, which will extend over 25 Saturdays, started last week-end.—A-T Pix. (Continued from Page One) to grow from year to year. A general discussion on the theme of Christmas parades fol- lowed, the upshot of which was that one of the local organiza- tions, other than the business- men will be invited to take the organizational responsibility. The businessmen will be expect- ed to contribute financially and in all other ways possible. In addition to the Christmas function, there were several suggestions that a winter carni- val of some sort be started in town. Instances were cited, such as Stratford and Elmira, where events of this type have begun to attract large crowds and are highly successful in creating a good image for the communities.

MEMBER SPEAKS Murray Gaunt, Liberal can- didate for Huron-Bruce, and the sitting member in the Legisla- ture, addressed the gathering briefly. He stressed the need for balanced development in the province, so that the big metropolitan areas cease to at- tract such a large proportion of industry and labor. He said fin- ancial incentive is needed to swing the tide away from the big communities toward the areas of the province which would benefit from such de- velopment. He stated his be- lief that the federal assistance plan has not been completely fair. Mr. Gaunt criticized the federal government's method of determining the need for fin- ancial incentives in any area, based as they have been, upon employment insurance figures. "Our young people are not un- employed," he said, "they simply leave this area to find employment elsewhere." He said that the aid now of- fered by the Ontario govern- ment has come very late.
