COLQUHOUN Editor Plant Manager THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1948 LET'S HAVE SOME VETERANS' HOMES! The members of Clinton and District Chamber of Com- , trierce are attempting to come to grips with the hoes - ing problem in Clinton, and particularly with the • propas 0 al to have an additional tis or 50 erected' by Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the Crown -owned corn- p'any which constructs and operates them for the benefit of the veterans of World War il. • Mayor A. J. McMurray stated at the monthly Meeting of theChamberof Commerce fast week that the Town. Council was quite' willing ;that the Chamber should go ahead and secure enough bona fide applications -to satisfy Central Mort- gage that the houses definitely were needed here. Acting on this suggestion, the Chamber' of Commerce publishes an announcement elsewhere in this issue, over the signature of the Housing Committee, urging interested veterans to visit the Town Clerk's Office and fill out an application form at once. It is pointed out that these applications are needed before the Corporation can begin construction. In a recent letter from the Corporation, published in last week's NEWS -RECORD, it was announced that the Corporation "cannot consider applications from service per- sonnel in connection with any new housing project in Clinton" and also that the Corporation. "will re -open the question of housing for Clinton if the 'town can give us sufficient applica- tions to justify a'mininnrm of 25 houses, For this purpose we would require not less than 40 or 50 acceptable applica lions from veterans of World War 11 not at present members of the armed forces." There it is in a nutshell. If the war veterans and other citizens of Clinton want these additional houses, they will have to go after then, and the very first step is to secure 40 to 50 applications. This fact is abundantly clear. For this reason, the Chamber of Commerce, in cooperation with the Town Council and the Town Clerk, is placing the facilities of its members and the weight of their influence behind the proposal. The cooperation of everyone in the community is required to put this thing over. ! Now let us have a word about rentals. The first twenty of the original fifty houses have been rented to civilian veteran and RCAF personnel, at monthly rentals ranging from $22.50 to $32,50. The proposed group do, not need to gent at higher figures if those applying for them do not wish to pay more. But they must state on their application forms the maximum to which they will go. - Clinton war veterans who desire houses, should apply at once for them at the Town Clerk's Office. Clinton Branch of the Canadian Legion is circulating all its members in this regard. This is an opportunity that must not be passed up. "'- BACK ITC) THE LAND —41-‘, serious back -to -'the -land movement is something to be expected within the next few years, comments The A Printed Word. If it comes, it will not be an organized movement. It will be the result of some independent thinking by many different persons, rich, poor and nediumly well-to-do, who for different reasons will decide that for the one life they have to live, the small town or the farm offers a better return in satisfaction than the city can possibly give. This is not to prophesy that the cities will become depopulated overnight. Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg and the rest will still attract from the countryside the same /types of girls and boys that have flocked there in the past. They 'will come because some careers require a city atmosphere for both training and practice; because there are more opportunities for making a fortune; because there is. a greater variety of choice in the matrimonial field; and generally, because lite in a city is more exciting and there- fore more appealing to adventurous youth. Those who'return or emigrate to the countryside from the city will be those who have sampled the metropolitan -delights that appeal to them and havecalmly decided: that they are not worth the trouble they involve. The noise, traffic, smoke and crowds, they will decide, are not Balanced by the museums, art galleries and libraries that may be reckoned to the credit of the city.. The dweller in the country or small town, they will` also discover, has virtually all the •amenities of living that can be found in a city home. Electrification of rural areas rias made even farm chores nsuch lighter Than they were a generation ago. The rural dweller gets much mere land .for his money than his city neighbor and has more time to cultivate it. If he drives a car he is not worried by parking fees or fines, and he commonly uses ,less gasoline and oil. If he is a golfer, the cost of. slicing his drive into the rough at the local nine -hole course is infinitesimal- . The chief factor in driving out tire present city dwellers, however,will not be financiai.. It will be the desire to get away from the pressure of too march history, too many events. Even if one restricts one's reading to the headlines, the grief of the world keeps pressing on one's private life. It can't be ignored, but few individuals are to a position to do much to relieve it, beyond contributing to organized charities. The cctwitry weeklies,' quite properly, to not force their reader tobecome excited about things in •which they, cannot take part. The hard Tuck of the area is relieved without elaborate organization. ,The hard tuck of the world takes second or third place to the abidin 'verities of seedtine and harvest, birth, marriage and death. o b o EDITORIAL..

That's the thought early Spring brings to Many progressive Canadian far- mers. That's why they're busy putting repair and modernization ideas into effect before routine work begins to take all their time, Men like these are go-getters. If winter leaves them short of cash, they don't let that stop their progress. They simply arrange for a Farm Improvement Loan from the Bank of Montreal, Interest on these loans comes to a straightfive per cent. Far- mers like the easy repayment terms and freedomfrom other charges. They know this service more than pays for its low cost by providing quick economical mon- ey for many useful farm purposes Mr. W. H. Robinson, manager of the B of M branch here, will gladly discuss Farm Improvement Loans with interested farmers. 23-b en, A. T. Cooper, J. W. New- combe, John Hartley, T. Jackson Jr.,; M. D.
