They provide employment for boys and girls who have re- ceived (their education in the district;; they support families who, in turn, pay taxes end support local levelness ;enterprise, h e0WNA editorial holds: • Clinton' already has several industries which have been so successful in helping de- velop the community and provide employment that it is apparent that more ere needed here. People of this community, however, oan-, not sit back and expect industries to spring up of their own at:cord as if by magic. Nor ,can they expect governments or outside firms to do what must be clone if more industries are to be located in our town. We must be psepered to help ourselves. to industries. We must have enough faith in our com- munity to invest our money bete, enough gumption to work for it and enough imagina- tion to see opportunities. A good example of community effort in developing local industry is the achievement of Altona, a small town in Manitoba. There, through co-operative effort, has been •estab- lished• a vegetable oil refinery which last year produced oil and other products valued at well over a million dollars. The oil is used in margarine and shortening and in a cooking and salad oil which is nowbeing marketed nationally. it is produced from sunflower seeds grown by the farmers in an extensive surrounding district. ear of cash This industry puts a 'good d into the pockets .of the farmers .o1 the .com- munity; it maintains a large payroll, It was established because a few farmers and business,' men bad vision and the necessary enthusiasm and foresight to put their vision into action. They saw the opportunity and did something about it. The plant at Altone, we under- stand, is the only one of its kind in Western Canada and It would appear that there •}s' loom for other similar plants in Canada's eoonoany. There has been much talk of the need for new industries here but, as Mark . Twain said about the weather, . "no one does any- thing about it." If we are to have new industries, there is no use waiting for outsiders to come in and establish them for us. If thea is what we want,' we may have a long, long' wait.. Here, it would seem, is a wonderful op- portunity for some local organization to give leadership. In the past too many of our young_ee,pie, trained at our expense in our own schools, have drifted to the cities to find work: What ars we going to do about that situation? The answer to the problem, in part at least, is to provide employment for them here" through the establishment of more local industries. This is possible—not through some magical process but through our own efforts. Legal Reason For Taking Census In Canada THE NINTH DECENNIAL Census of Cen- lade in June this. year is based on fundamental. legal .requirements dating from Confederation. Under Section 51 of the British North America Act, 1867, it was enacted that after the completion of the Census in 1871, and of each sibsequent decennial census, representa- tion of the provinces .should be readjusted by such authority, in such manner and from - such time as the Parliament of Canada pro- vided, subject to certain rules. The chief of these rules was that the Province of Quebec should have a fixed num- ber of Members (65) and that the representa- tion of other provinces in the House of Com- mons should bear the same proportion to the populatign of the province as the number 65 bears to the population of the Province of Quebec. In 1946, Section 51 'of the British North America Aot was repealed and a new Section substituted, es follows: ' "The number of Members of the House of Commons shell be 255 and the representa- tion of the Provinces therein shall forthwith, upon the coming into force of this Section, and thereafter on the completion of each de- cennial census, be readjusted . . . according to the following rules—(a) subject as here- inwfter provided, there shell be' assigned to each of the provinces the number of Mem- bers computed by dividing the total popula- tion of the 'provinces by 254 and by dividing the population of each province by the quotient so obtained , _ . ". This new Seotion thus did away with the former proyision in the Ant by which the Province of Quebec was given a fixed repre- sentation for determining the, quotient upon which representation In other provinces could 'be oallculiated. Accordingly, the ; membership • of the House of Commons was increased from 245 to 255 (including one member from the Yukon). Representation of the Province of Quebec was increased by the .1947 readjustment from 65 to 73 members, that of Ontario- from 82 to. 83, Nova Spatia from 12 to 13, end British Columbia from 16 to 18. Manitoba and Sask- atchewan each lost one seat, the new repre- sentation of the former being 16 and of the latter 20 members. Representation of the re- meiningthree provinces was unchanged, viz., New Brunswick, 10; Prince Edward Island, four; and Alberta, 17. Seven seats were given to Newfoundland on its entry into Confedera- tion 01 midnight on March 31, 1949, raising the total membership in the House of Com- mons to 262. Since 1941 there have bean some substan- • tial shifts in population as between provinces and further changes are likely to take place in provincial representationin. the House of Commons in the next redistribution of seats following the 1951 Census, The Census commissioners fog Huron County have been appointed as follows: Huron North, J. Arthur Wilsnml, Wingham; Huron - Perth, Archie Morgan, Hensall.. Hunting Conditions- In 1951 CHEERING NEWS for Ontario hunters has come from Dr. W. J. I. Harkness, Chief of the Fish and 'Wildlife Division, Ontario Department of Lands and Forests,, on the basis of an early survey of game eonditions -through- out the Province. Deer are fat and healthy while pheasants are thriving in the open win- ter. Barring . extremely cold and stormy weather before the spring months, hunting conditions should be excellent. in 1951. "So far we have had a very good winter," he said. "The deer have not been forced to yard and are still feeding in the open. They are in excellent shape and if deep snow does not come they will be in no danger of starva- tion. But even if they are forced to .yard. rum, even in the districts with the heaviest population it should not be too heavy for the amount of feed available. "There should be a very good fawning this year, for It is now definitely established that the deer which come through the winter in good condition produce the best—and 'the most—fawns, "In southern Ontario to date conditions have been very good for the pheasant popula- tion ,and there has not yet been any necessity tor extra feeding, the birds managing very well through the fairly light, snow. "Officials who came across Algonquin Paris a few `days ago reported the deer there are as tame as usual but were in heavier and better condition than in mast winters. Gen- erally, conditions have so far been very favor- able and we feel- quite optimistic about the gasne supply this year." Winter .

Is it to remain part of Huron or become a part of Lambton? In Huron the Canada Teitupenanee Aot is en force. In 'Grand Bend there are those (see London Free Press Jan. 20) who blame the OTA for •al1 their drinking troubles. They want to have the CTA repealed or they want -to get out of CTA territory. It should be painted out that the alternative is the Liquor Control Act with, its variety of .outlets. That means more liquor, easily available and more drink- ing end a bigger job he law en- forcement for the -police—sand it does net mean the end of boot- legging, As it is now, the police have authority under the criminal code to deal with all cases of drunken rowdyism. As for drink- ing in pebble places, seated on the eurb or on the P.O. steps, that is not a problem. 'ft is to he hoped that the e}ti- - zens of Grand Bend will not let their minds be contused or mis- led, It would not lee for the better , but for the worse if by one means or another they ex- changed the Canada Temperance Act for the Ontario Liquor Con- trol Aet,—Advt. 5-b • citizenship, Lawrence J o n e s; Christian leadership; Rev.
