While we rlo not think water alone would be any greet inducement to industry in view of the increased taxes', poor a -e wer systems and inadequate hous- ing, juett hely great an advantage added inclmstty would be is n debat- able question. Anyone who lyls here during (he last depression will recall only too well the steady low of ,teanvsd'ents: through our village in march of something to eat and a place to sleep. They will also remember that theca transients were not from vella.ges. such as ours but froth places highly indrlstria'iz- ecl. Industries and industrial workerts are good during the good Vanes but when tlapreselens eo'r1P and they come rather often. then the places with the greet industries feel it the worst. rn spite of the intereesing amount of manufacturing in our coimitry, agriciilture is still the backboneof the nation and no- where more so than in Huron County.. Here we have a newt little village existing solely for and from the surrounding country, dependent on that backbone. What could be more stable? Great weight has already been placed on (the health benefits this system wotuid confer on the village. Dr. Berry to his report of the unlavoureible results of the tests made on the wells in the village did seer It was. nrot made recently but (Barnet say just how long ago. I would be the last to claim that under exlasting domd(ttons water Oven any dug well is .the safest water but everyone has nea.rd the slam* of the well drillers the last few years as they drilled many good see welds in our community.

As a mailer of fact —the only argue mere a,.ainut such a system is the cost, Let us weigh such costs against the uremen'doue advantages for the system and thus arrive at a sane opinion, Fust and to`emo31 Is the Fire Protec't'ion', that such a system will give us, and with tine proteotic,u will come lower insurance rates., Everyone .realizes that even w:'11) romptete Insurance protect ion. money will not replace marry of the! treasures palnstakinsly acquired' through the many peere of a life's' span. An adequate supply of Crater will reduce what may have been a dislasltrous fire to a small loss. TbPn their is the e'eraetion of business. Many plants emir re nperetc unless a taa-ge :;empty of water is available, and such plants - 1f attracted to our comnnmity will (mice open themselves a large ner- centa'ge of the cost of installation and supply of such a system. Another compensation of flaying Manufacturing plants in our 001n. enmity would he that they will need workers to operate thatr plants and as tbtngs_ are now in Brussels many of our young people would be working en Brussels instead of being scarltered through other comment - ties, It is because of the lark ni employment of our young people at home--d2rat our families are broken up and the family lie is lost How much nicer If we could keep our famelles intact. Many of these young people do not leave home. by choice—hut ny force of cirourestance, also you may be aware that we are likely to 'have to clieconein'tue our High .School in Brnusseis and send our high school pupils by bus to other centres, This is beoantee the powers that be think that we do not have enough pupils to warrant the expense of running a High School hese. Does it not behove us to attract Whore fa:miliest here and. 04O enable us to retalo our High Sohool and not have our ohildren spend hours coming and going to an outside school every day. In winter' this will become an additional hazard for 08 rho worry about, wbenr the roads are deep with ice and snow. Well so •nisi It for that, but now we come to another important tactor, Health. This 18' 'something we do not value too nlmoh until it is last, and then we will give our all to regain it Need many� the epidemics r tf 1 the Baty that have carried away thousand's of lives' in the past, have been through unpure water and how can 'a. dug well not far from a seeptle tank: or Baelthoise, produce a supply' of pure stealth prrrcltreing water, It Claes not seem possible and, a test of the water front 'stich' a well will prove that. it is not possibie. .And now to you who are going down the hemestretet of life. to you who Binet of neees,sity slay hove much will ilhis 'net ter And hon cern T benefit from such :, system?
