The,people of the four -county

have been invited to comment
on the government's„analysis of
the region's social and economic
needs.
The Hon. Charles
MacNaughton, Provincial
Treasurer and- Minister of
Economics, said in presenting
the report in Listowel July 27,
that the. government's
development proposals for the
region' would not be established
until there is plenty of
opportunity for the people in
the region to respond to them
and to consider them in terms of
their own local interests' and to
make known how they would' be

ways of carrying there out.
"These broad provincial plans,
and the provincial policies that
will influence the, shaping of
local plans, are not proposals
that are being imposed from on

"We are pErticularly
interested in suggestions from
you about " the priorities and

minister said.
"We would like your opinions

The region is well -endowed
with p�9 ie, or "Class�'� 1",„q
agricultural land - land whose
soils have no significant
limitations in use for crops, the
report says. Fifty .per rent of the
region's land is of this class and
this represents 24 per cent of
such land in the entire province.
The number of farms
operated in the region in 1966
was 2,850 less than in 1951, but
the average . size of farm
increased during the period from .
127.5 to 145 acres. The greatest
loss in farms was in Huron

of these were from farms
Huron and Perth.
The -report notes that farm
production per acre is highest in
Woolwich, Wilmot, Waterloo and
Pilkerton townships.
"This is'significant : as these
